“A 30-year shingle isn’t a 30-year shingle in Dallas.” because Dallas' extreme weather kills roofs.

Scott Exteriors is still our pick for all-around Dallas roofing. We like their ability to handle any roofing need — inspection, installation, and roof repair. They offer a strong blend of DFW neighborhood experience and competitive pricing.

Dallas homeowners who are willing to spend more for additional roof protection should choose Smart Roof and Home Performance. They offer industry-leading roof protection through the IBHS FORTIFIED program.

Here's what we'll cover in this updated guide to Dallas roofing contractors:

  • The data: HOMR handled 49 residential roofing projects for Dallas homeowners in 2023. We paired that service data with BBB reviews and external pricing data to create a basis to evaluate and rank the best Dallas-Fort Worth roofing services.
  • How we chose: We preferred contractors who focus on residential roofing, not commercial roof jobs. HOMR chose service providers that offer roof installation and roof repair services — we think Dallas homeowners need one point of contact for all their roofing projects.
  • Green flags and red flags: Your roofers should have extensive work history in Dallas and display familiarity with local concerns like hail, high winds and oak tree damage. Choose a service provider who is adept with various roofing materials and can furnish current license and insurance paperwork.
  • Popular Dallas roofing materials: Dallas residents choose asphalt shingles and Class 4 shingles more often than metal roofs and roofing tile. FORTIFIED roofing status offers enhanced protection against Dallas hail and severe wind events, and features potential tax and financial incentives.

No contracts, no cancellation fees. Service is paid in advance - cancellation before full payment will result in a balance due of pest control treatment ONLY.

The Data & Research: Why You Should Trust Us

“We have extremely harsh weather conditions. Brutal heat, bitter cold, torrential rains, hail and high winds. Whatever you can throw at a roof, DFW does it.” Travis Jones, owner of SmartRoof HP, explained in his interview.

Last year, HOMR handled 49 residential roofing projects for our members. Roofing services for these jobs included new roof installation, full roof replacement, roof repair, and routine maintenance service calls.

We used member data and feedback from these roofing service calls to analyze some of Dallas' best roofers. We combined that information with publicly available Dallas residential roofing contractor data.

Here are several key variables we used to rate Dallas roofers:

  • Local Expertise. Does the service provider have a history of Dallas area roofing work? Do they have specific neighborhood expertise — North Dallas or Lake Highlands, for example?
  • Service Offerings. Does the provider have a specialty, like Dallas roof repair or inspection? Or do they provide a variety of service options?
  • Pricing Data. Does each Dallas roofer charge more, less, or about the same as their competitors for similar jobs?
  • License and Insurance Information. Is the roofing contractor properly licensed in Dallas and insured in the state of Texas?

How We Selected Top Dallas Roofing Contractors

How did we narrow 4,000 Dallas roofing companies down to 2 HOMR featured partners? We put them through one of the most rigorous research and data processes in company history.

First, we eliminated Dallas area roofers that focused on commercial roofing. We found that most of these companies preferred commercial work and their residential customers suffered as a result. 

Next, we focused on well-rounded roofing contractors. If a company specialized in roof repair or roof installation only, we eliminated them from consideration. HOMR prefers to recommend a roofing expert that can handle all your needs with one phone call.

We then eliminated any roofing company without a notable customer service reputation. We looked for an A+ rating with the BBB, a strong number of 5-star Google reviews, or both. We paired that with HOMR customer service data from recent roof inspection and service appointments we booked for our members.

Finally, we looked at pricing. We eliminated any providers with pricing far above current DFW market standards. We also removed “bargain basement” roofers from our search. The last place you want to cut corners is on the one thing that covers and protects your entire home and family.

Popular Dallas Roofing Material Options

What roofing material should you choose for your Dallas area home? Here are the pros and cons of 4 roofing options, listed in order of popularity with Dallas homeowners:

  • Asphalt Shingles
  • Class 4 Shingles
  • Metal 
  • Concrete Tile and Clay Tile

Asphalt Shingles

“Roughly 85 percent of homes have composition shingles,” Scott Exteriors says. “If you’re in the market for a brand new roof, there’s a good chance you’ll be putting on (and taking off) composition shingles.”

Asphalt shingles are easy to find in Dallas. They come in a wide variety of colors and styles. Many DFW homeowners opt for simple 3-tab shingles due to their lower cost. However, inexpensive shingles don't provide the same level of protection as more durable Class 4 shingles.

Asphalt shingles often come with 30-year warranties, but Dallas weather often shortens their lifespan. 

Pros: Extremely popular and easy to find; generally low in cost; available in wide variety of styles and colors

Cons: Dallas weather often lowers asphalt's lifespan; less protection against hail and high winds; occasional mildew issues

Class 4 Shingles

Dallas homeowners who are concerned about extreme heat, high wind, hail and storm damage to their roofs often opt for more durable Class 4 shingles.

Class 4 shingles are subjected to extra testing and designed to withstand significant impact damage. They're expected to handle 1" hailstones and falling tree limbs without much issue.

However, that added protection comes at a cost. Class 4 shingles are 20% more expensive than regular asphalt shingles. If the protection is worth the cost to you, HOMR's featured providers like IKO and Owens Corning brands.

Pros: Increased protection against Dallas weather; less prone to impact damage from hail and trees; reduces roof repair service needs over time

Cons: Up to 20% more expensive than asphalt shingles; upgrades aren't usually covered by insurance

Interested in FORTIFIED roofing status? This special designation involves upgraded roof protection (like Class 4 Shingles) and offers tax and financial incentives to Dallas area homeowners. Read more in the HOMR Guide to FORTIFIED Roofing.

Metal Roofing

“A metal roof in Dallas is all about the thickness and finish,” Travis Jones explains. “We don't go any thinner than 24 gauge in DFW, and we use a coating and finish that protects against hail and storm damage.”

Metal roofs can last up to 50 years in Dallas Fort Worth. They're lightweight and durable, and some clients report a decrease in their monthly energy bills after installing a metal roof.

Be sure to use the proper protective coat on your metal roof. An uncoated metal roof leads to chipped paint — hail won't rip apart your roof, but those little chips can lead to rust issues.

Buyer beware: Some insurance companies do not cover hail or storm damage to metal roofs they deem to be cosmetic. You must prove the damage is functional to be covered.

Pros: Extremely durable against harsh Dallas weather conditions; easy to paint and finish to any color or style (matte/gloss/metallic); lightweight and easy to install

Cons: Occasional insurance coverage issues in the event of damage; susceptible to rust if uncoated

Concrete Tile and Clay Tile

Concrete tile and clay tile roofs are popular in many part of the United States. But are they right for Dallas homes?

Tile roofs provide beautiful, European-inspired design features. They're Class A fire resistant and are generally long-lasting materials. 

However, the porous nature of concrete and clay tile can lead to mold and mildew issues. The underlying roof materials must be replaced after 15-20 years as a result. Also, concrete tiles weigh around 1,000 pounds per 100 square foot — that's a lot of weight resting on top of your home.

HOMR's featured roofing providers do not see much demand for concrete or clay roofing in Dallas for these reasons.

Pros: Distinctive style with European flair; generally long-lasting finish; fireproof material

Cons: Require a significant amount of upkeep and maintenance; extremely heavy material; underlying material must be replaced every 15-20 years

Conclusion

“Getting a new roof is a pain,” Travis Jones says. “But getting a new kitchen or living room because your roof caved in is a real pain. That's what we're trying to protect.”

Dallas weather can throw a lot at you at once. Hail and tree limbs cause roof damage. Strong winds and microbursts can tear up your shingle. Maintaining your roof here can get complicated. 

That's why HOMR likes Dallas roofing companies that keep it simple. Ones that offer every roofing service possible, from installation to repair to maintenance.

Staying safe and dry under your roof should be as simple as one phone call. Make that call to HOMR 24/7 and schedule fast, fairly-priced service with our home management team.
