A roof replacement in Irving starts with an honest question: does this roof actually need replacing, or will a repair do? Our free inspection answers that with photos and written findings. When replacement is the right call, we handle tear-off, decking checks, permit, and installation as one documented job.
Every Irving roof replacement starts with a full tear-off rather than an overlay, followed by a board-by-board decking inspection with photo documentation. Then come proper underlayment and flashing, plus the municipal permit and inspection where the city requires it. Most single-family asphalt replacements finish in one to two days once materials are staged. Estimates are free and written, deductibles are never waived because Texas law forbids it, and we are not a public adjuster.
Why tear-off matters on Irving homes
Tear-off carries extra weight in a city with Irving’s age profile. The median home was built in 1986 and 36 percent of housing units predate 1980, so the decking under many roofs has already carried earlier roofs of its own. Pulling everything down to the boards is how soft or damaged decking gets found and photographed before new underlayment goes on, instead of being buried under another layer.
Hail is the other factor in choosing what goes back on. Irving has seen 1-inch or larger hail within 8 miles on 33 days since 2006, 1-inch hail in 15 of the last 20 years, and a largest stone of 4.25 inches on May 24, 2011. The shingle you pick will be tested, so we talk through that record before you choose a system. We replace roofs across Dallas County and in nearby Grapevine and Farmers Branch.

We don't waive deductibles; nobody legally can. Texas law requires
homeowners to pay their insurance deductible (Tex. Ins. Code ch. 707). If a roofer offers
to "cover" or "absorb" yours, walk away. It puts your claim at risk and may be a felony
for the contractor.
We document damage, provide repair and replacement estimates, and meet your
adjuster on-site to answer construction questions. We are not a public adjuster
and do not interpret your insurance policy or negotiate claim value on your behalf.
Common questions about roof replacement in Irving
How long does a roof replacement take in Irving?
Most single-family asphalt replacements finish in one to two days once materials are on site. Steep pitches, multiple tear-off layers, decking repairs, and weather extend that.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in Irving?
Permit requirements are set by the city and vary across DFW. Where Irving requires one, we pull it and schedule the inspection as part of the job. It is never left to the homeowner.
Should I repair or replace my roof in Irving?
It depends on age, storm history, and how widespread the damage is. Our inspection is free and documented: if a repair genuinely solves it, that is what we recommend.
Do mature trees around our Irving 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 Irving?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 33 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 8 miles of Irving, including 9 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 15 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 1.5-inch hail on March 25, 2025.
How old are most homes in Irving?
The median home in Irving was built in 1986, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 36% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 14% were built in 2010 or later. Many homes here are reaching the age when original roofs come due.
