Do older Dallas homes need special roofing considerations?

Often yes. Plank decking, layered roofs from decades of additions, and low-slope porch tie-ins all require detailing that a straightforward new-construction roof does not. We inspect those transitions specifically.

Do you work in the Park Cities and Lakewood?

Yes, along with Oak Cliff, Preston Hollow, Lake Highlands and the rest of Dallas proper. Access and staging on tight or heavily landscaped lots is planned before the project starts.

Dallas County

Roofing in Dallas, Texas

Dallas has the widest range of roofing conditions in the metroplex, from 1920s bungalows in Oak Cliff to 2020s infill in the design district. That variety is the point: a roofing approach that works in a new Frisco subdivision does not translate to a pier-and-beam home in Lakewood with three additions and four different roof planes.

Housing stock in Dallas

Housing stock inside Loop 12 skews old. Original decking is frequently 1x6 plank rather than modern sheathing, which changes fastener choice and sometimes requires overlay decking before a modern shingle system can be installed correctly. Older Dallas homes also tend to have low-slope porch and addition roofs tied into steeper main roofs, and those transitions are where the leaks usually are.

Weather exposure

Dallas sits squarely in the spring hail corridor, and the mature tree canopy in East Dallas and the Park Cities adds a second problem: limbs abrading shingles and clogging valleys and gutters year round.

Solar in Dallas

Solar adoption is significant across North and East Dallas, and many of those arrays are now sitting on roofs approaching replacement age. That is the exact situation we built the roofing and solar team around.
