Residential Roof Replacement in DFW | Longhorn Construction Co.

Does Your Roof Need Repair or Replacement?

A leak does not automatically mean the whole roof needs replacement. A problem limited to flashing, a roof penetration or a small damaged area may be suitable for targeted roof repair. Widespread damage, deteriorated roofing and repeated problems across the roof call for a broader evaluation.

Roof age is one consideration, not a replacement deadline. Longhorn evaluates the observed conditions and proposed construction work so you can compare the options. If a targeted repair is appropriate, explore our Roof Repair services rather than assuming replacement is necessary.

Choosing a Residential Roofing System

Shingles and Impact-Resistant Options

Longhorn installs architectural/dimensional asphalt shingle options including GAF Timberline HDZ and other GAF lines, CertainTeed Landmark and designer shingles, and architectural shingle options from Owens Corning and TAMKO. Product references identify roofing choices, not certifications from each manufacturer.

Discuss the actual product, appearance, wind and impact rating, availability and applicable warranty terms. Class 4 impact-resistant options may be appropriate for hail-exposed properties, but an impact rating is not a hail-proof guarantee. Ask your insurer whether the specific product qualifies for any discount. Confirm applicable HOA approval before finalizing the selection.

Metal Where Appropriate

Standing-seam metal is another existing Longhorn residential roofing option. Its suitability depends on the home, roof configuration, project scope and budget. Compare the complete proposed system, not just its appearance.

The Components Beneath and Around the Roof Covering

Decking, synthetic underlayment, leak barriers, drip edge, starter/ridge components, flashing, pipe boots and other penetration details, and ventilation work together as a system. Your written scope should identify the proposed components and how discovered decking or concealed conditions will be addressed. Do not assume every roof needs identical accessory replacements or the same ventilation arrangement.

What a Residential Roof Replacement Costs

Many residential roof replacements fall approximately within $7,000–$20,000. This is planning guidance, not a quote, universal range or maximum price.

Roof size, pitch, materials, access, existing conditions, decking/underlayment conditions and the project scope affect actual pricing. The written Longhorn Proposal establishes the price for your project. It should also explain how additional discovered work will be addressed rather than treating the planning range as an allowance for everything.

How Long Roof Replacement Takes

Most standard residential roof replacements are completed in approximately 1–2 days, depending on roof size, complexity, weather and discovered conditions. This describes typical installation time, not a guaranteed interval from your first call to a completed roof. Confirm the project schedule and preparation requirements for your home.

Ventilation, Attic Heat and Roof Performance

North Texas attic temperatures can reach approximately 140°F. Longhorn evaluates and provides ventilation services as part of roof-replacement work.

The appropriate approach depends on the home's attic and roof-system design. For a vented attic, intake and exhaust need to work together; a ridge vent alone is not a universal answer. Discuss the existing airflow arrangement, obstructions and applicable system requirements. Ventilation is part of roof-system performance, not a promise of a particular utility-bill reduction.

Hail, Wind and North Texas Roof Damage

Missing or damaged shingles, affected flashing and penetrations, and interior leak concerns can warrant inspection after a storm. Some conditions are not apparent from the ground. A storm's occurrence alone does not establish that the roof requires replacement or that damage is insured.

Longhorn can document observed roof conditions and prepare its proposed construction scope. The insurer determines coverage under the policy. Longhorn does not waive deductibles. Coverage questions belong with the insurer; the roofing Proposal describes the construction work.

From Inspection to Completed Roof

Inspection and findings: review the roof concerns and discuss the observed conditions and repair/replacement options.
Written Proposal: identify the work, selected products/system, relevant decking, flashing and ventilation scope, exclusions, price and warranty terms.
Authorization and preparation: confirm the accepted scope, schedule, access, material delivery/staging and property-protection arrangements.
Installation: perform the authorized work and address discovered conditions through the appropriate additional-work authorization.
Cleanup and final review: confirm the agreed cleanup and review arrangements, then review the applicable workmanship and manufacturer documentation, including registration where required. The accepted written scope determines included work; a walkthrough or adjuster attendance should be confirmed where applicable rather than assumed.

Longhorn uses experienced independent subcontractor roofing crews, with some relationships approaching approximately 20 years. Longhorn manages the project scope, quality expectations, coordination and customer relationship.

Longhorn Workmanship & Manufacturer Warranties

Residential roof replacements carry a 5-year Longhorn workmanship warranty. This is separate from applicable manufacturer material/system coverage. Roof repairs have a separate 1-year Longhorn workmanship warranty and should not be confused with replacement coverage.

Longhorn is GAF Silver Certified. That is a contractor certification, not a warranty. Manufacturer coverage depends on the selected products/system, installation requirements, eligibility, registration where required and the applicable manufacturer terms. Not every GAF roof receives the same coverage. Ask which documents and coverage apply to the actual proposed system.

Longhorn is also American WeatherStar certified and BBB A+ Rated. American WeatherStar certification is a separate credential; it does not expand a residential shingle warranty.

Some concealed conditions, including decking condition, may not be fully known until existing roofing is removed. The written scope should explain how necessary additional work is evaluated and authorized.

Residential Roofing Questions

What should I compare when two replacement Proposals have different prices?

Compare the defined scope: roofing products/system, removal, treatment of decking conditions, underlayment, flashing and penetrations, ventilation, access, cleanup, exclusions and warranty terms. Many Longhorn residential replacements fall approximately within $7,000–$20,000, but that is not a quote or ceiling. The written Proposal establishes your actual price.

Does a 1–2 day replacement estimate mean completion two days after I call?

No. Approximately 1–2 days is the typical installation guidance for standard residential replacements, subject to roof size, complexity, weather and discovered conditions. Inspection, authorization, material preparation and scheduling are separate steps.

Does choosing a GAF shingle give every homeowner the same warranty?

No. Longhorn's 5-year residential replacement workmanship warranty is separate from manufacturer coverage. Manufacturer terms depend on the selected system, installation requirements, eligibility and registration where required. GAF Silver Certified identifies contractor certification, not a uniform warranty for every roof.

Does Class 4 mean my roof cannot suffer hail damage?

No. Class 4 identifies an impact-resistance classification, not a hail-proof guarantee. Compare the specific product and its terms, and ask your insurer whether that product qualifies for a discount rather than assuming one applies.

Does every replacement need the same vents, flashing and decking work?

No. Those decisions depend on the home's roof and attic design, existing conditions and selected system. The Proposal should identify the agreed work and how concealed or deteriorated decking discovered during installation will be handled.

What should I confirm before installation begins?

Confirm the accepted scope and materials, expected schedule, property access, delivery/staging arrangements, property-preparation instructions, cleanup and final-review arrangements, and the process for authorizing additional discovered work. Requirements vary by home and project.

Can Longhorn's storm inspection establish whether insurance pays for replacement?

No. Longhorn documents observed roof conditions and prepares its proposed construction scope. The insurer determines coverage under the policy. Neither a storm nor a roofing Proposal guarantees a covered replacement, and Longhorn does not waive deductibles.
