Picking shingles for a Richardson home comes down to matching the product tier to the house and to the hail, not to brand loyalty. Architectural shingles are the baseline. Impact-rated Class 4 versions cost more upfront, and many Texas insurers recognize them with premium discounts. Every install we do is a full tear-off with a decking inspection and proper ventilation, because the parts of a shingle roof you cannot see decide how long it lasts. Estimates are free and in writing, inspections come with photos, deductibles are never waived under Texas law, and we do not act as a public adjuster.
What Richardson’s housing record says about your next shingle roof
The median home here was built in 1986, and that middle number hides a wide spread: 44 percent of homes went up before 1980, 35 percent between 1980 and 2009, and 21 percent in 2010 or later. For asphalt, that range means very different starting points. An older house may be on its third roof with tired decking underneath, while a newer one usually needs only a clean like-for-like replacement. Tear-off tells us which one we are dealing with before a single new shingle goes down. Hail decides the tier. Within 6 miles of Richardson there have been 36 days of hail an inch or larger since 2006, which is why we walk every Dallas County homeowner through the Class 4 option before they choose. The same shingle crews work in Murphy and Addison.
