How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
"How much is a new roof?" is the first question almost every homeowner asks us, usually right after a hailstorm rolls through North Texas. The quick answer is that the cost to replace a roof on most Dallas–Fort Worth homes falls between $8,000 and $20,000 for a Class 3 shingle roof and $10,000 and $25,000 for a Class 4 impact-resistant roof. Those are average ranges from the jobs we do across DFW, not quotes. Where your home lands depends on the size and shape of your roof, how many stories it has, and what we find once the old shingles come off.
This guide explains what goes into that number, why two homes on the same street can price thousands of dollars apart, and how to get an accurate figure for your own roof.
How Much Does a New Roof Cost in DFW?
| Shingle type | Typical installed price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Class 3 architectural shingles | $8,000 – $20,000 | A solid, good-looking roof at a lower upfront price |
| Class 4 impact-resistant shingles | $10,000 – $25,000 | Homeowners who want the highest hail-impact rating |
The low end of each range is usually a one-story home with a simple roof. The high end is usually a larger two-story home with a steep, cut-up roof. Most homes we replace in DFW fall somewhere in between.
What Is Included in the Price
A fair comparison starts with knowing what you are paying for. When we quote a full roof replacement, the price covers:
- Tear-off and disposal of the old shingles.
- Underlayment and new shingles in the line and color you choose.
- A high-profile ridge cap on every roof we install, which gives the ridge line a finished look.
- Cleanup, including a magnet sweep of the yard, driveway, and street to pick up nails.
- A lifetime workmanship warranty from us.
Most homes are finished in one day. If you want to know what that day looks like, read how long a roof replacement takes.
What Changes the Cost of a Roof Replacement
Every one of these can move your price up or down. This is also why an honest roofer will not give you a firm number over the phone without seeing the roof.
Roof size
Roofers price by the "square," which is 100 square feet of roof surface. Your roof is almost always bigger than your home's living space, because it covers the garage, porches, and overhangs, and because a sloped surface has more area than the flat footprint under it. More squares mean more shingles, more underlayment, and more labor.
Pitch (how steep the roof is)
A steep roof is slower and harder to work on safely. Crews need extra safety equipment and more time, and that shows up in the labor cost.
One story vs. two stories
A two-story home costs more than a one-story home of similar roof size. Materials have to be carried higher, tear-off debris has to come down farther, and the crew spends more time moving safely around the roof.
Number of facets
A facet is each separate flat plane of the roof. A simple roof might have four to six. Many newer homes in Frisco, Prosper, and McKinney have 20 or more, with hips, valleys, dormers, and turrets. Every extra facet means more cuts, more waste, and more shingles to cover the same area, so a roof with 20+ facets will cost more than a simple roof of the same size.
Layers of old shingles
Some older DFW homes have two layers of shingles. Removing a second layer adds labor and disposal cost.
Damaged decking
The decking is the wood under the shingles. We do not know its condition for sure until the old roof is off. If boards are soft, rotted, or delaminated, they need to be replaced before new shingles go on. We will show you what we find before replacing it.
Gutters and solar panels
If your gutters are damaged or pulling away, it often makes sense to replace them at the same time as the roof. See our gutter installation and repair service. If you have solar panels, they have to come off before the roof can be replaced and go back on after. We take care of that through our solar panel removal and reinstall service, with our solar partner doing the panel work.
Class 3 vs. Class 4: Why the Price Difference?
The "class" is an impact rating. Class 4 is the highest rating a shingle can earn, which means it held up to the toughest impact test in the rating system. Class 4 shingles cost more to make, so a Class 4 roof costs more to install, which is why its range starts and ends higher.
Is it worth it? In a hail-prone area like North Texas, many homeowners think so. Some insurance companies offer a discount on premiums for a Class 4 roof, so ask your insurance agent whether yours does before you decide. We provide the paperwork your agent may ask for.

What If Your Roof Has Storm Damage?
If hail or wind damaged your roof, the replacement may be part of an insurance claim. What your policy covers is between you and your insurance company, and every policy is different. What we do is inspect the roof for free, document the damage with photos, and meet your adjuster on the roof so nothing gets missed.

Financing Is Available
A new roof is a big purchase, and it often comes up when you did not plan for it. We offer financing, so you can spread the cost out instead of paying it all at once. Ask about financing options when we give you your quote.
How to Get an Accurate Price for Your Roof
The only way to get a real number is to have someone look at your roof. Here is how it works with us:
- Free inspection. We look at your roof, measure it, and check for damage, soft spots, and the number of layers.
- Written quote. You get a written price based on your actual roof, not a guess.
- Pick your shingle. We walk you through Class 3 and Class 4 options and colors.
- Install day. Most roofs are done in a day, and we clean up before we leave.
When you compare quotes, compare what is included, not just the total. Ask each roofer whether the price includes tear-off, the ridge cap, cleanup, and a workmanship warranty, and how they handle decking that needs replacing.
