Garland is our home city — our shop is at 601 N 1st Street, off the downtown square. The median owner-occupied house here was built in 1977, which makes this a replacement market, not a new-construction one.

The 1970s are Garland's single biggest decade — 23,773 homes, 27.6% of the city — and 54.8% of all housing here predates 1980. On a house that age we expect old layers, decking that has taken fifty years of Texas sun, and ventilation that was never sized right. We check for it before quoting, not after.
Garland requires a roofing contractor to register as a General Contractor and file a certificate of insurance naming the City of Garland as certificate holder, with at least $300,000 per occurrence and $600,000 aggregate. The adopted code goes further and requires the carrier be rated A or better by AM Best. We are registered here year-round, not just after a storm.
Garland has 126 active registered neighborhood groups across eight council districts, and the city's own permit form states that approval of the permit does not remove your obligation to get HOA approval first. We can get your color and material choice through that step rather than leaving you to sort it out mid-project.
Garland has logged 27 separate hail days within five miles since 2010, and 52 of 62 reports were an inch or larger. March through June carries 78% of them, with April alone at 41%. We document every slope and tell you honestly whether what is up there is a claim or normal wear.
The May 28, 2024 bow echo put surveyed winds of up to 95 mph through Garland, with the National Weather Service reporting widespread tree, fence and minor roof damage across much of the city. Wind damage is localized and easy to miss from the ground — lifted tabs along a rake, fasteners backing out, a ridge line that has been worked loose.
Garland allows only Class A, B or C roof coverings, and metal must be 26 gauge or better with manufacturer specifications submitted. If you are changing the pitch, the city wants detailed plans with the application. We bring options that already comply so plan review is not where you find out.

Garland's median owner-occupied home was built in 1977, so yours is typical — about 49 years old. At that age we usually find the roof has been replaced once or twice already, sometimes with a layer left underneath that should have come off. Decking may be worn around penetrations and at the eaves, and attic ventilation is often undersized by modern standards. None of that is alarming, but it is why a real inspection beats a phone quote.
Yes, for any roofing or roof repair work over $2,000 — that is written directly into Garland's adopted residential code, not just city policy. The contractor registers as a General Contractor, pays $125 annually, and must file a certificate of insurance naming the City of Garland as certificate holder with minimum $300,000 per occurrence coverage. It is worth asking to see it.
Garland prints it on every roofing permit. It says that for disaster remediation work, unless your contractor has maintained a physical business address in Dallas County or an adjacent county for at least one year before the contract date, they cannot require any payment before starting work. It exists because of what shows up after a hailstorm. Our address has been 601 N 1st Street in Garland since 2019.
Often, yes. Garland's own permit form says approval of the permit does not negate your responsibility to obtain HOA approval where one applies, and the city has 126 active registered neighborhood associations. Color and material are the usual sticking points. We will pull the spec sheets you need for that submission.
Because it is. Garland is still operating on the 2015 International Codes, adopted by Ordinance 6850 in 2016, while Richardson and Rowlett moved to the 2021 editions. It matters on specifics like layer limits and material ratings. A roofer working three cities in a week needs to know which code applies where, and plenty do not.
Free inspection, honest scope, real warranty. Most service work scheduled within 24–48 hours.
