We install architectural asphalt shingles, impact-resistant shingles, standing-seam metal roofing, and corrugated metal panels. We'll recommend the best material for your budget, home style, and local climate. Asphalt shingles are the most popular and cost-effective; metal roofing offers the longest lifespan.
A quality architectural asphalt shingle roof typically lasts 25–30 years in Texas, though UV exposure and hailstorms can shorten that. Impact-resistant shingles can last 30–40 years. Metal roofing is the most durable option at 40–70 years. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs extend the life of any roof.
Impact-resistant (IR) shingles are rated Class 3 or Class 4 by UL 2218 standards, meaning they can withstand larger hailstones without cracking. In Texas, many insurance companies offer discounts for Class 4 IR shingles — ask your insurer. They cost more upfront but often pay for themselves through insurance savings.
Yes. Our full replacement service includes complete tear-off of the old roofing material, inspection of the decking, and disposal of all debris. We leave your property clean — no shingles in the flower beds.
Yes. We have extensive experience working with homeowners' insurance claims for storm and hail damage. We can help document damage with photos and detailed reports, and communicate directly with your adjuster to make the process as smooth as possible.
Hail damage isn't always visible from the ground. Signs include dents on gutters, downspouts, or AC units; bruised or cracked shingles; granule loss (dark spots or granules in gutters); and damaged flashing. The safest approach is a professional inspection after any significant storm. We offer free post-storm inspections.
After a severe storm causes a hole or major damage, emergency tarping involves securing a heavy-duty tarp over the damaged area to prevent further water intrusion until permanent repairs can be made. We offer 24/7 emergency tarping to protect your home immediately after storm damage.
This depends on your insurance company and your claims history. In Texas, a single weather-related claim generally doesn't raise rates significantly. We recommend calling your insurer to understand your policy before filing. We can help you understand whether the damage is worth claiming.
Roof replacement costs vary based on home size, roof pitch, material choice, and decking condition. In Granbury, a typical 1,500–2,000 sq ft home with architectural shingles runs $8,000–$14,000. Metal roofing costs more upfront ($15,000–$25,000+) but lasts significantly longer. We provide detailed written estimates — no guessing.
We typically require a small deposit to schedule and order materials, with the balance due upon completion. We never ask for full payment upfront. All payment terms are clearly outlined in your written estimate before any work begins.
We perform a thorough visual inspection of your roof from the ground and, when safe, from the roof itself. We use drone photography to capture areas that are difficult to access. You'll receive a written report with photos describing the condition of your roof, any issues found, and our recommendations — with no obligation to hire us.
