Addison is on the 2024 code, and its adopted table still reads 115 mph — not the 105 that Farmers Branch next door publishes on the same code cycle. Two adjacent towns, same edition, different number.
The Town of Addison adopted the 2024 International Residential Code by Ordinance O24-013, effective 1 June 2024, with the 2024 IBC under Ordinance O24-011.
Here is the thing worth knowing: Addison is on the newest code cycle, but its adopted Table R301.2(1) prints 115 mph three-second gust / 76 mph fastest mile — not the 105 mph in the 2024 regional amendment package. Farmers Branch, immediately adjacent and also on the 2024 IRC, publishes 105 mph at Exposure C. Two neighbouring towns, the same code edition, ten miles an hour apart. It is a perfect illustration of why a contractor who works the whole metro off one mental checklist gets detailing wrong. Ice barrier underlayment in Addison is answered No, ground snow load is 5 psf, and Addison wrote no roofing amendments at all — so there is no townwide Class A/B/C fire-classification mandate here.
Addison is not a normal suburban roofing market, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. The town has 11,369 housing units but only 18.0% are owner-occupied — the lowest share anywhere in this region. The Dallas appraisal record shows roughly 1,421 detached single-family parcels, 433 townhouses and 569 condominiums, spread across only about fifteen genuine detached single-family subdivisions. The rest of Addison is apartments and commercial.
That makes this a market for two things we actually do well: multi-family and commercial low-slope work, and a small, high-value pocket of detached housing with some unusual roof types. Addison has a notably high tile share for a DFW suburb — Addison Place carries tile on 158 of its 180 parcels, and La Mirada Condominiums is tile throughout. The Townhomes of District A are recorded as tar-and-gravel flat roofs across all 183 units, and Meridian Square Condominiums as composition roll on flat. Those are genuinely different trades from running architectural shingle on a pitched roof, and our team's depth is in exactly that low-slope and specialty work — over 100 years of combined commercial roofing experience.
The registration detail here is specific and easy to get wrong. Addison requires all contractors to be registered with the Town before the start of any project, but it has no Roofing class — its classes are General, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Irrigation and Sign, so a roofer registers as a General Contractor at $75, valid one year. More importantly, Addison requires a Contractor Validation Form per scope of work, per job site: "No single validation form may be used for multiple job sites." A company running several Addison jobs at once needs a separate validation for each address. It is a small piece of paper and a real filter on how organised a contractor actually is.
Debris here is not an exclusive franchise, which makes Addison easier than Frisco or Rowlett. The town states it directly: "Addison does not provide commercial and multi-family solid waste collection services. Businesses and apartment complexes contract with private collection companies of their choice." Haulers do need a Town Solid Waste Collection Permit — $50 to process, $50 annual renewal due 1 October, a certificate of insurance, quarterly reporting, and a fee of 5% of quarterly cash receipts net of state sales tax.
Addison has no historic overlay and no Certificate of Appropriateness in its adopted development code. There is one genuine local roof mandate, though, and it is easy to miss: UDC Section 8.2.9.B, under Ordinance O25-004 of 25 March 2025, requires "a fire-retardant class C roof covering... on all condominium and Townhouse units" in the PD-TH district.
Addison Airport sits inside the town limits, and NOAA logs instrumented readings there — which is why the wind record is unusually precise. On 28 May 2024, an 81 mph gust was measured at Addison Airport, 1.3 miles from the town centre. On 16 June 2019, 90 mph at Farmers Branch. On 6 June 2018, 3.00-inch hail logged at Carrollton four miles out, and on 21 April 2017, 1.75-inch measured at the airport itself. Eleven hail days within six miles since 2015.

View Roof Maintenance →Addison adopted the 2024 IRC but its table reads 115 mph three-second gust, while Farmers Branch, adjacent and also on the 2024 IRC, publishes 105 mph at Exposure C. Ten miles an hour apart across a town line. Addison also wrote no roofing amendments, so there is no townwide Class A/B/C mandate. We detail to the town we are standing in, not to a regional average.
Addison requires all contractors registered before any project starts — as General Contractors, since there is no Roofing class — and requires a Contractor Validation Form per scope of work per job site, with no single form usable across multiple sites. It is a small administrative filter that separates organised companies from ones running several jobs off one piece of paper. We file each one.
With 18% owner-occupancy, roughly 1,421 detached single-family parcels against 433 townhouses and 569 condominiums, Addison is largely a multi-family and commercial roof market — plus a high-tile pocket in Addison Place and La Mirada, and recorded tar-and-gravel flat roofs across all 183 Townhomes of District A units. Our team's depth is over 100 years of combined commercial roofing experience, which is what this town actually needs.

115 mph three-second gust, 76 mph fastest mile, from the adopted Table R301.2(1) as amended by Ordinance O24-013, effective 1 June 2024. The interesting part is that Addison is on the 2024 IRC while its table still reads 115 rather than the 105 in the 2024 regional package — and Farmers Branch, immediately adjacent and also on the 2024 IRC, publishes 105 mph at Exposure C. Same edition, different numbers, one town line apart.
Not as a townwide mandate — Addison wrote no roofing amendments to the 2024 IRC, so there is no blanket Class A/B/C requirement. There is one specific exception: UDC Section 8.2.9.B, under Ordinance O25-004 of 25 March 2025, requires a fire-retardant Class C roof covering on all condominium and townhouse units in the PD-TH district.
Yes. Addison requires all contractors that wish to perform work within town limits to be registered before the start of any project. There is no Roofing class, so a roofer registers as a General Contractor at $75, valid for one year from issuance. Addison also requires a Contractor Validation Form per scope of work per job site — no single form may be used across multiple job sites.
We are not going to overstate this. Addison's web page refers to proof of insurance, but the registration application's document table requires a certificate of insurance specifically for electrical, mechanical, plumbing and sign contractors — not for the General class a roofer registers under. So we will not tell you the Town mandates it. We carry one regardless, and you should ask any bidder for theirs and verify it with the carrier, whether or not a town requires it.
Yes, with a permitted hauler — Addison has no exclusive franchise, which makes it easier than Frisco or Rowlett. The Town states plainly that it does not provide commercial and multi-family solid waste collection, and that businesses and apartment complexes contract with private collection companies of their choice. The hauler does need a Town Solid Waste Collection Permit: $50 processing, $50 annual renewal due 1 October, a certificate of insurance, quarterly reporting, and 5% of quarterly cash receipts net of state sales tax.
We could not verify a construction-hours ordinance and will not print a window. We confirm with the Town before scheduling. Neighbouring cities vary widely — Carrollton bans Sunday work outright and Richardson stops at 6 p.m. on weekdays — so assuming here would be unwise.
Yes, and Addison is one of the few DFW suburbs where that is a normal question. Addison Place carries tile on 158 of its 180 parcels and La Mirada Condominiums is tile throughout. Tile is a different trade from composition shingle — different underlayment system, different flashing, different fastening and different breakage rates in handling — and matching an existing profile matters as much as installing it correctly.
That is the larger part of Addison's roof inventory and the deeper part of our capability. The Townhomes of District A are recorded as tar-and-gravel flat roofs across all 183 units and Meridian Square Condominiums as composition roll on flat. Our people carry over 100 years of combined commercial roofing experience across TPO, modified bitumen, built-up, coatings and standing seam, and we are used to phased work on occupied multi-family property.
The record here is unusually precise, because Addison Airport is inside the town limits and NOAA logs instrumented readings there. On 28 May 2024 an 81 mph gust was measured at the airport, 1.3 miles from the town centre. On 16 June 2019, 90 mph at Farmers Branch. On 6 June 2018, 3.00-inch hail logged at Carrollton four miles out; on 21 April 2017, 1.75-inch measured at the airport itself. Eleven hail days within six miles since 2015.
