New-construction roofing in Dallas runs on a builder's schedule and the city's inspection sequence, not a replacement timeline. We work with builders, GCs, and owner-builders on production and custom homes.
New construction roofing in Dallas is a coordination job: dried-in on schedule, sequenced with the other trades, and inspected per the city’s new-construction requirements, with a roof system matched to the home’s design and budget.
Builders and owners get a free written estimate up front, and installation stages are documented with photos. If an insurance claim ever follows, we never waive deductibles under Texas law and never act as a public adjuster.
Building New Roofs for Dallas Hail
New homes are a small slice of the city. Just 14 percent of Dallas housing units were built in 2010 or later, while 48 percent predate 1980, so new construction here often goes up beside much older stock. A new roof starts clean, and that is the moment to plan for the local hail record rather than react to it later.
That record is steady. Hail an inch or larger has fallen within 13 miles of Dallas on 77 days since 2006 and every year of the last 20, with 4.25-inch stones on May 24, 2011 as the extreme. Settling material and detailing choices at the design stage is far easier than revisiting them after a storm. We build roofs throughout Dallas County; University Park and Cockrell Hill are served by the same crews.

Common questions about new construction roofing in Dallas
Do you work with individual owner-builders in Dallas?
Yes. Custom and owner-builder projects are welcome. Your framing schedule, the city's inspection sequence, and a roof system that fits the design.
What roofing systems do you install on new builds?
Asphalt architectural systems most commonly, with metal, tile, and synthetic systems for designs that call for them. Each material guide on this site covers the trade-offs honestly.
How does new-construction inspection work in Dallas?
The city inspects at the stages its code requires; we schedule and meet those inspections as part of the job so the builder's timeline holds.
Does this work differ across Dallas neighborhoods?
Meaningfully. Deck age, prior re-roof quality, and permit specifics vary block to block in a city this varied. The written findings reflect your actual roof, not a citywide template.
