Cost and Budgeting

Yes. Metal roofing is an excellent residential option that has grown significantly in popularity across Texas. Modern metal roofs are available in styles that mimic traditional shingles, tile, or slate. They are extremely durable, energy-efficient, wind-resistant, and can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. Metal roofs also reflect solar heat, which can help reduce cooling costs in the Texas climate.

What are commercial roofs made of?

Commercial roofs typically use flat or low-slope roofing systems including TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin), EPDM (rubber membrane), modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), or standing seam metal panels. The best system depends on the building type, roof size, budget, and energy efficiency goals. Roof Experts evaluates each commercial property individually and recommends the system that provides the best long-term value and performance.

Roofing Maintenance

What kind of roofing maintenance can I do myself?

Homeowners can safely perform basic maintenance from the ground — clearing gutters of debris, checking downspouts for blockages, and visually inspecting for obvious issues like missing shingles or damaged flashing from the yard. We recommend leaving any roof surface work to licensed professionals. Walking on your roof without proper equipment and training risks both personal injury and additional roof damage.

What’s the best time of year for a roof inspection or maintenance?

Spring and fall are ideal in North Texas. Spring inspections catch hail and wind damage from winter storms before summer heat stress compounds the damage. Fall inspections prepare your roof for winter and catch any summer UV degradation. Roof Experts recommends annual inspections at minimum — plus an additional inspection after any significant storm event.

When is a leak considered an emergency?

A leak is an emergency when active water intrusion is damaging interior finishes, contents, or structural components — or when the entry point is at an electrical component. Call Roof Experts at (469) 936-7663 for emergency response throughout our DFW service area. We prioritize active leak situations and aim to have a crew on-site the same business day.

How long should my new roof last?

Lifespan depends on the material, installation quality, and ongoing maintenance. Standard three-tab asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 20 years. Architectural asphalt shingles — the most common choice in DFW — last 25 to 30 years. Metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years. Tile and slate roofs often exceed 50 years. Proper installation by a qualified contractor and regular maintenance are the two biggest factors in maximizing the lifespan of any roofing system.

Warranties/Insurance

What’s the difference between a manufacturer’s warranty and a workmanship warranty?

A manufacturer’s warranty covers defects in the roofing materials themselves — such as premature cracking, curling, or granule loss that is not caused by weather or installation error. A workmanship warranty covers the quality of the installation performed by the roofing contractor. If a leak or failure is caused by improper installation, the workmanship warranty applies. Roof Experts provides a 1-year warranty on repairs, 5-year on residential installs, 2-year on commercial installs. See full warranty details on all services.

Is your workmanship warranty different for repairs and replacements?

No. Roof Experts provides a 1-year warranty on repairs, 5-year on residential installs, 2-year on commercial installs. See full warranty details on all services — whether it is a small repair, a full roof replacement, or any other roofing work we perform. If something we installed or repaired fails due to our workmanship, we come back and make it right at no cost to you. No fine print and no runaround.

Does homeowner’s insurance cover roof repairs?

Homeowner’s insurance typically covers roof damage caused by sudden, accidental events — including hail, wind, fallen trees, and fire. Normal wear and tear, deferred maintenance, and cosmetic-only damage are generally not covered. Roof Experts documents all storm damage thoroughly and works directly with your insurance company to help ensure your claim is processed fairly and completely.

What insurances and certifications should my roofer have?

At minimum, your roofing contractor should carry general liability insurance, workers’ compensation coverage, and hold all required state and local licenses for roofing work in your area. You should also verify they have manufacturer certifications — which indicate they have been trained and approved to install specific roofing products. Roof Experts maintains all required licensing, insurance, and manufacturer certifications across every state we serve. Proof is available upon request.
