Residential Roofing Across DFW

DFW's housing stock spans more than 70 years of construction, and each era brought different roofing materials, building codes, and design challenges. Understanding what's on your home is the first step toward making the right roofing decision.

1950s–1960s: Ranch-style and mid-century homes in neighborhoods like Lake Highlands, Oak Cliff, Lakewood, and older parts of Richardson and Garland. Many had original 3-tab shingles or wood shake. If these roofs haven't been replaced, the decking underneath is often 1x6 spaced sheathing that needs to be re-decked with plywood before new materials go on.

1970s–1980s: First-generation suburbs in Arlington, Mesquite, Irving, Grand Prairie, and early Plano. Mostly 3-tab asphalt shingles with 20-year ratings. These homes are well past their original roof life and many are on their second or third roof.

1990s–2000s: The DFW suburban boom — Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Flower Mound, Keller, Southlake, Mansfield, Cedar Hill. Architectural shingles became standard. Many of these roofs are now 20–30 years old and approaching replacement age, especially those that have taken multiple hail hits.

2010s–Present: Newer construction in Celina, Prosper, Forney, Fate, and master-planned communities. Better building codes, improved underlayment, and more impact-resistant materials. These roofs are still relatively young, but storm damage doesn't care about age — hail cracks a 5-year-old shingle just as easily as a 25-year-old one.

North Texas throws everything at your roof: 100°F+ summers with intense UV, hailstorms that can drop 2-inch stones, straight-line winds exceeding 70 mph, and occasional ice storms that create freeze-thaw cycles in the winter months. Your roofing material needs to handle all of it.

Architectural shingles are the standard for DFW residential roofing — affordable, durable, and available in dozens of colors and profiles. For maximum hail protection, upgrade to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that qualify for a 15–30% homeowner's insurance discount in Texas.

Standing seam metal is the premium choice for homeowners who want a 50+ year roof with virtually zero maintenance. It reflects solar heat, handles high winds, and sheds hail better than any other residential material. The upfront cost is higher, but the long-term math makes it the best value over a 30+ year ownership period.

Stone-coated steel gives you the aesthetic of traditional shingles or tile with the durability of metal. It's an excellent middle ground for HOA communities that require a traditional look but want superior performance against DFW weather.
