Pricing & Cost FAQs
A full roof replacement in Fort Worth typically runs between $8,500 and $22,000 depending on size, pitch, material, and how many layers need tearing off. Most single-story homes in neighborhoods like Wedgwood or Arlington Heights land in the $10,000 to $15,000 range. Your final price depends on square footage, decking condition, and the shingle you choose. We put the price in writing before any work starts, so there are no surprises when the job begins. Call (682) 730-3548 for a free estimate with real numbers.
Minor roof repairs in Fort Worth usually cost between $350 and $1,200. Small fixes like replacing a few shingles or sealing a pipe boot sit on the lower end, while flashing repairs or valley work run higher. Hail damage repairs often stretch into the $2,000 to $5,000 range once multiple areas need attention. We send photos of the damage before we quote, so you see exactly what you're paying for. Call (682) 730-3548 to schedule a repair estimate.
Many Fort Worth roofing companies charge $150 to $400 for a standalone inspection, but we include a thorough inspection with every estimate we provide. After storms, it's common for homeowners in Keller and Southlake to request inspections before filing insurance claims. We document everything with photos so you have an independent record of the condition. If your roof needs work, the inspection cost is covered by the estimate process. Call (682) 730-3548 to book yours.
Yes, if the damage came from a covered event like hail, wind, or a fallen tree. Fort Worth gets serious hail storms, and most standard Texas homeowners policies cover roof replacement minus your deductible. The key is documenting damage promptly and filing correctly. We walk you through what your adjuster will look for and can be present during the inspection. You'll get a written price from us that your insurance company can review line by line. Call (682) 730-3548 with questions about your specific policy.
No, not on our written estimate. We put the full price in writing before any work begins, and that number doesn't move unless you ask for additional work. If we find hidden decking rot or code-required upgrades during tear-off, we stop, show you photos, and get your approval on the new number before proceeding. No surprise invoices at the end. That's the whole point of the Relay Visibility Guarantee. Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll explain exactly how our pricing process works.
Service & Process FAQs

Most residential roof replacements in Fort Worth take one to two days, weather permitting. Larger homes or complex roofs in areas like Benbrook with steep pitches might take three days. Repairs typically finish in a single afternoon. Texas weather can shift fast, so we build small buffers into our calendar and communicate any changes before they affect you. You'll never wonder when we're showing up. Call (682) 730-3548 to get a timeline for your specific roof.
Yes. The City of Fort Worth requires permits for roof replacements, and individual communities like Azle, Crowley, and Haltom City have their own permitting processes. We handle the paperwork for you and schedule the required inspections. Permits add a small line item to your estimate, always shown upfront. Passing inspection matters to us because it means your roof meets current code. Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll explain the permit requirements for your specific city.
Move vehicles out of the driveway and away from the house, clear the yard of loose items, and remove anything fragile from shelves and walls since hammering creates vibration. Cover belongings in the attic with sheets, as dust and small debris can sift down. If you have a security system with roof sensors, let your provider know work is happening. We'll handle everything on the roof itself. Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll send you a full prep checklist.
Yes, we work with homeowners insurance claims regularly across Fort Worth and surrounding cities like Sansom Park and River Oaks. We document the damage with photos, meet with your adjuster if you want us there, and provide a written estimate your insurer can review. You stay in control the whole time. We don't handle claim negotiations for you, but we make sure you have the documentation you need. Call (682) 730-3548 to talk about your situation.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning shingles primarily. These three brands hold up well to Texas heat and hail, and each offers strong manufacturer warranties. GAF Timberline and CertainTeed Landmark are both popular choices for Fort Worth homes because they balance cost, durability, and availability. If you have a specific product in mind, we'll quote it. Your estimate lists the exact brand and product line we'll use. Call (682) 730-3548 to compare options.
Architectural asphalt shingles rated for impact resistance work best in Fort Worth. We recommend GAF Timberline AS II, CertainTeed Landmark IR, or Owens Corning Duration with impact-resistant ratings, because our hail storms are frequent and sometimes severe. Class 4 impact-rated products may qualify you for insurance discounts in Texas. The heat matters too: these products handle prolonged sun exposure without premature curling. Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll recommend the right product for your neighborhood and budget.
3-tab shingles are flat, single-layer asphalt shingles that cost less but wear out faster, typically lasting 15 to 20 years in Fort Worth. Architectural shingles are thicker, dimensional products with multiple layers that last 25 to 30 years and resist wind better. They cost about 20 to 30 percent more upfront. Most Fort Worth homeowners choose architectural shingles for the longer life and better storm performance, and most new construction uses them. Call (682) 730-3548 for pricing on both options.
Underlayment, decking, flashing, drip edge, and ridge ventilation all go underneath or alongside your shingles. The decking is the wood layer attached to your rafters. Underlayment is a waterproof barrier between decking and shingles. Flashing seals the joints around chimneys, vents, and valleys. Drip edge channels water off the eaves. Ridge vents release hot air from your attic. Each of these parts gets inspected and replaced as needed during a re-roof. Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll walk you through what your roof has.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Texas does not issue a single statewide roofing license, but the City of Fort Worth requires roofing contractors to register and meet local standards. Each municipality around us, from Lake Worth to Kennedale, has its own registration requirements. Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We follow all local rules in every city we work in. Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll confirm the requirements specific to your property.
Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires, including liability coverage. That protects your property and the people working on it.

Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll come to your home fully documented and ready to work.

Emergency & Response FAQs
Yes. Hail and windstorms hit Fort Worth every spring and fall, and we respond to damage across Euless, Keller, Southlake, and every community in our service area. After a storm, walk your property and look for visible shingle damage, dents in gutters, or granules in your downspouts. Then call us. We'll inspect and document everything with photos, and put your repair options in writing. Call (682) 730-3548 to schedule a storm damage inspection.
First, contain the water inside: move furniture, place buckets, and if there's a bulge in the ceiling, pierce it with a screwdriver to release pressure slowly and avoid a ceiling collapse. Then call us at (682) 730-3548. We answer from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday and Sunday. We'll inspect the leak, locate the source, and put a repair plan in writing before we start. A leak left alone for even a week can rot decking and create mold.
Yes, we offer temporary roof tarping and protection to prevent further water intrusion while permanent repairs are scheduled. After a major storm, tarps keep rain out and buy you time to work through insurance. This is a temporary measure, not a permanent fix. We document the condition before and after tarping so your insurance claim stays clean. Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll get you protected.
We're open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. We're closed Saturdays. Calls during those hours are answered by a live coordinator who connects you with our local team. If you need an estimate, a repair, or a full replacement, call (682) 730-3548 and we'll schedule you at a time that works.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Manufacturer warranties from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning cover the shingles themselves, typically for 25 to 50 years depending on the product line. Workmanship coverage varies by contractor. On our end, every job is covered by the Relay Visibility Guarantee: a written price before we start, photo updates throughout, and a documented record of everything we did. Call (682) 730-3548 and we'll explain exactly what your warranty covers and for how long.
The Relay Visibility Guarantee means you always know what's happening on your roof. You get a live arrival time you can track on your phone, not a four-hour window. You get photos of the work before and after. You get a written price before anything starts. You get a digital invoice you can pay from a link. It's total transparency from the first call to the final inspection. Call (682) 730-3548 to experience it yourself.
If your roof is under 15 years old and the damage is isolated, repair usually makes sense. If it's over 20 years old, has widespread granule loss, curling shingles, or leaks in multiple spots, replacement is often the better investment. Fort Worth hail accelerates aging, so roofs here sometimes need replacement before their rated lifespan. We'll give you an honest assessment with photos, not a sales pitch. Call (682) 730-3548 for an inspection and both options in writing.
