Frequently Asked Questions
Roofing & Storm Damage Answers
Straight answers about storm damage, insurance claims, and roof replacements across the DFW metroplex.
How do I know if my roof has storm or hail damage?
Common signs include dented or bruised shingles, granules in your gutters, cracked or missing shingles, dings on metal vents and flashing, water stains on ceilings, and damage to siding, gutters, or window screens. After any major DFW hail or wind event we recommend a free professional inspection — much of the damage is not visible from the ground.
Do you offer free roof inspections in the DFW metroplex?
Yes. EXT Roofing & Construction offers 100% free, no-obligation roof inspections throughout Garland, Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Mesquite, Richardson, Arlington, and the surrounding DFW metroplex. We document any storm damage with photos and a detailed report you can share with your insurance company.
Will you help me file my insurance claim?
Absolutely. We specialize in insurance claim assistance and have helped hundreds of DFW homeowners through the process. We meet your adjuster on-site, provide complete documentation, and advocate for a fair scope of repair so you get the roof replacement or restoration your policy covers.
How much does a new roof cost in Texas?
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, materials (asphalt shingle, metal, tile), removal of existing layers, decking condition, and any code-required upgrades. Most insurance-claim replacements cost the homeowner only their deductible. We provide transparent, line-item estimates after every inspection so there are no surprises.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential asphalt shingle replacements in DFW are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex roofs (steep pitches, multiple layers, metal, or tile) may take 2–3 days. We always protect your landscaping and clean up thoroughly when the job is done.
What roofing materials do you install?
We install architectural and impact-resistant asphalt shingles, standing seam and metal roofing, TPO and modified bitumen for commercial flat roofs, and tile. We’re certified installers for leading manufacturers, which lets us offer extended workmanship and material warranties.
Do you handle commercial roofing projects?
Yes. We service flat and low-slope commercial roofs including TPO, modified bitumen, and metal systems for offices, retail centers, warehouses, and multi-family properties throughout the DFW metroplex.
What warranties come with my new roof?
You receive the manufacturer’s material warranty (typically 25–50 years or lifetime, depending on shingle line) plus our workmanship warranty on the installation. We walk through every warranty detail before work begins.
Do you offer emergency tarping after a storm?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency tarping to stop leaks and prevent further interior damage while your insurance claim is being processed. Call us as soon as you notice damage so we can secure your home quickly.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. EXT Roofing & Construction is fully insured (general liability and workers’ compensation) and operates in accordance with all Texas and local DFW municipal requirements. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance on request.
Which DFW cities do you serve?
We serve the entire Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, including Garland, Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Mesquite, Richardson, Arlington, Irving, Frisco, McKinney, Carrollton, Rowlett, Wylie, Sachse, and Rockwall. If you don’t see your city, give us a call, chances are we’re already in your neighborhood.
What should I do immediately after storm damage?
First, ensure everyone is safe and document the damage with photos from the ground. Don’t climb on the roof. Then call EXT Roofing & Construction for a free inspection, we’ll document everything thoroughly, tarp any active leaks, and guide you through filing your insurance claim.
