Central and north Arlington near UTA have many 1960s and 1970s homes, some already on a second or third roof. South Arlington filled in from the 1980s through the 2000s with hip roofs, multiple valleys and composition shingles, and Viridian on the north side is newer still. Arlington's older central neighborhoods have trees over many roofs, while south Arlington's 1990s and 2000s subdivisions have hip roofs with many valleys, the spots where hail and wind damage turn into leaks.

Wind-lifted or missing shingles, cracked pipe boots, failed flashing, and leaks at valleys and chimneys.

Is the roof actively leaking?

Put a bucket under the drip, move valuables, take photos and call or text 972-246-7448. If the roof is open after a storm, we can tarp it; emergency tarp service starts at a $250 minimum. See emergency roof repair.

Repair or replace?

If damage is isolated and the roof has life left, repair it. If bruising or wear runs across whole slopes, a roof replacement usually makes more sense. Read roof repair vs. replacement.
