New-construction roofing in Garland 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 Garland is a coordination job. The roof has to be dried-in on schedule, sequenced with the other trades, and inspected per Garland’s new-construction requirements, with a roof system matched to the home’s design and budget. We work from the plans, confirm materials with you, and keep the builder informed as the project moves. Bids are free and written, and our inspections are documented in photos. Texas insurance rules apply to every project too: no deductible waivers, and we are not public adjusters.
New Roofs Among Established Garland Homes
New homes are a small share of Garland’s housing. Only 10 percent of the city’s units were built in 2010 or later, 35 percent date from 1980 through 2009, and 55 percent predate 1980. A new build here sits among a mostly older housing stock, and its roof should be planned for the same storm exposure the neighbors deal with.
That exposure is real. Hail an inch or larger has hit within 7 miles of Garland on 37 days since 2006, including 12 days with golf-ball-size stones, and the largest reached 2.5 inches on June 2, 2017. Roof materials and how they hold up to hail are worth discussing at the design stage rather than after the first storm. We build in nearby Dallas County communities as well, including Sachse and Rowlett.

Common questions about new construction roofing in Garland
Do you work with individual owner-builders in Garland?
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 Garland?
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.
Do mature trees around our Garland home affect the roof?
Constantly. Canopy debris loads gutters and valleys, branches abrade shingles in every wind event, and shade-side slopes hold moisture longer. Trimming to clearance and keeping drainage clear are the two cheapest roof-life extensions in established neighborhoods.
How often does hail hit Garland?
