Arlington homes and roofs

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020–2024 5-year estimates, via Census Reporter), the median home in Arlington was built in 1986, the median owner-occupied home value is $304,700, and about 54% of the 142,455 occupied homes are owner-occupied.

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.

When does a Arlington roof need replacing instead of repairing?

When hail or wind damage runs across whole slopes, when the shingles are brittle and losing granules, or when leaks keep coming back. A home built in 1986 is about 40 years old; if it still has its original shingles, they are past the typical life of a standard asphalt roof in Texas heat. If damage is isolated, a roof repair may be all you need, and we will tell you so.

Roof Replacement questions from Arlington homeowners

How long does a roof replacement take in Arlington?

Most single-family homes are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days, weather permitting. Large, steep or complex roofs can take longer, and we tell you the timeline in your estimate.

My Arlington home was built around 1986. Do I need a new roof?

Not automatically. A roof that old may have been replaced already. We inspect for free and tell you honestly whether your current roof has life left or needs replacing.

Will insurance pay for a new roof after the March 17, 2016 storm?

If that storm or another one caused covered damage to your Arlington roof, many policies pay for replacement minus your deductible. We inspect for free and give you dated photos so you can decide whether to file.

Are Class 4 shingles worth it in Arlington?

NOAA storm reports include 2.5-inch (tennis ball) hail 3 miles west of Arlington on March 17, 2016. Class 4 shingles hold up better to hail. The Texas Department of Insurance says impact-resistant roofing can qualify for a premium discount, with Class 4 earning the highest credit, but each insurer sets its own amount, so ask yours. We price both so you can compare.

My central Arlington home has had several roofs. Do you tear off every layer?

Yes. We tear off to the decking on every replacement and never lay new shingles over old ones. On 1960s and 1970s homes near UTA, that lets us find and replace soft or damaged decking before the new roof goes on.
