Garland prints the Texas Chapter 58 disaster-remediation deposit notice on your permit. It restricts who can take your money up front — and it turns on having held a physical address in the county for a year. Ours has been on First Street since 2019.

Everything off, down to the sheathing, so the deck is seen rather than assumed. On a Garland house that has already been through two re-roofs, what is under the shingles is the whole question — and an overlay is a way of never answering it.
Every sheet we call bad gets photographed before it is covered. Rotten, delaminated, cracked or fastener-chewed sheathing is replaced; sound sheathing stays. You see the evidence for both decisions.
Intake and exhaust balanced to the attic volume. This is the requirement most failed shingle warranty claims actually turn on, and on a 1970s Garland house the original ventilation frequently does not meet what a modern manufacturer requires.
Chimney and wall flashing, valley metal, pipe boots and vents replaced rather than reused. Reusing flashing is the cheapest way to shave a bid and the most reliable way to produce a leak in year three.
Specified to Garland's adopted 115 mph three-second gust: synthetic underlayment, a proper starter course, and ridge and rake detailing built for that number rather than for a regional average.
Permit pulled with the signed contract or adjuster's scope Garland requires attached, inspection passed, warranty registered, and a photographic record of every stage handed to you.
How many squares, how much decking is included, what happens if we find more, what flashing is being replaced rather than reused, and what ventilation is being specified. A surprise on a re-roof is almost always a scoping failure rather than a genuine discovery.
At $2,000 and above Garland requires both a permit and a city-registered contractor, and the application needs a signed contract or the adjuster's scope of loss attached. We assemble it first, so it is never the thing sitting between you and a start date.
Nothing opened wider than we can dry in the same day. Deck repairs photographed before they disappear under underlayment, and the whole property protected and magnet-swept before the crew leaves each evening.
City inspection passed, manufacturer warranty registered — including the ventilation compliance most warranties actually hinge on — and the photographic record handed over. That file is what you show a buyer, an inspector or an insurer in six years.
Dimensional, UL Class A, with wind ratings and manufacturer warranties matched to Garland's adopted 115 mph figure. The default for the 1955-to-1985 housing that makes up most of this city.
A reinforced mat tested to UL 2218 Class 4. Garland took 2.25-inch hail in September 2023 and Dallas County averages 66 hail days a decade — many Texas carriers discount for Class 4, and the discount is worth pricing before you decide.
Most Garland houses have at least one low-slope section — a porch, a patio cover or an addition — and a shingle does not belong on it. Those sections get a proper low-slope membrane tied into the steep-slope system.
Written, on the installation itself. A workmanship warranty is only worth the continuity of the company behind it — ours has operated from the same Garland building since 2019.
Full manufacturer warranties on qualifying systems, subject to installation to their published specification — including the ventilation requirement that most denied warranty claims turn on.
We come back before your first full storm season is behind you and check sealant, flashing, boots and ridge. Roofs tell you early whether they were built right.

Texas Business & Commerce Code Chapter 58 governs disaster remediation contracts. In broad terms it restricts a contractor from taking money up front for repair work after a declared disaster — unless that contractor has maintained a physical business address in the county, or an adjacent county, for at least the past year. Garland prints the notice on the permit so you actually see it. Our Dallas County address has been in continuous use since 2019.
To hold City of Garland contractor registration: $300,000 per occurrence, $600,000 general aggregate and $300,000 property damage, written by an A-rated carrier. Ask any bidder for the certificate and check the carrier's rating, not just that a certificate exists. It is the fastest way to filter a storm-chase bid out of your pile.
Most Garland single-family replacements are one to two days for tear-off, deck and install, with the roof dried in the same day it is opened. Older or steeper roofs, significant decking, or a complex hip-and-valley layout extend that. The honest number depends on what we find on the deck walk, which is why we do one before quoting a timeline.
Yes at $2,000 and above, which is every full replacement. That same threshold requires the work to be done by a city-registered contractor. The application also requires a signed contract or the insurance adjuster's scope of loss attached, which is unusual — Garland is one of the stricter North Texas cities on this point, and it works in the homeowner's favour.
Because on a Garland house the deck is the question. Median build year here is 1978 and 73.7% of the city predates 1980, so most of these roofs are on a third covering over sheathing that has taken two previous tear-offs worth of fastener damage. An overlay hides that from you, from us and from the inspector, adds weight, and shortens the life of the new roof.
Most Garland houses have at least one low-slope section — a porch, patio cover or added room — and an asphalt shingle does not belong on anything under about 2:12. Those sections need a proper low-slope membrane properly flashed into the steep-slope field. It is one of the most common failure points on a cheap re-roof, because doing it right costs real money and nobody sees it from the street.
We document the damage, meet the adjuster on the roof, and supply the scope of loss — which in Garland also satisfies one of the two documents the permit application will accept. What we will not do is promise an approval, or inflate a scope so your deductible disappears. That is not a favour to you; it is how a homeowner ends up on the wrong side of a fraud investigation.
Garland adopted the 2015 International Residential Code by Ordinance 6850 and has stayed there, while Richardson, Rowlett, Sachse and Dallas are all on the 2021 cycle. Garland's adopted design wind speed is 115 mph three-second gust and ice barrier underlayment is answered No. A crew working the whole metro off one checklist will detail your roof to somebody else's rulebook, and the inspection is where that surfaces.
Free inspection, honest scope, real warranty. Most service work scheduled within 24–48 hours.
