In Wylie, the asphalt decision that matters is the tier, not the brand. Architectural shingles are our baseline. Impact-rated Class 4 versions cost more upfront, and many Texas insurers recognize them with premium discounts. Every install is a full tear-off with a decking inspection and proper ventilation, because the parts of a shingle roof you never see decide how long the visible part lasts. The estimate is free and in writing, the inspection is documented with photos, and we never waive a deductible, which Texas law prohibits. We are also not a public adjuster; we build and repair roofs.
Asphalt shingles and Wylie’s young housing stock
Wylie’s homes are newer than the DFW norm: the median year built is 2006, only 7 percent of units predate 1980, and 59 percent went up between 1980 and 2009. Many of those houses still carry their original builder-grade shingles, and tear-off is where we learn whether the decking and attic ventilation were done right the first time. Hail is the other half of the equation. Hail an inch or larger has landed within 6 miles of the city on 29 separate days since 2006, which is why we walk every Wylie homeowner through the standard laminate versus impact-rated choice before anything is ordered. The same crews run shingle jobs in Sachse and Murphy.
