"Asphalt shingles shall not be placed over existing roof coverings." Grapevine permits zero layovers — every asphalt re-roof here is a full tear-off, which means your decking gets seen every single time.
Roof Experts is the residential roofing partner Grapevine TX property owners trust. We bring DFW-quality crews and materials to every Grapevine project — from asphalt, metal, tile, and slate to inspections and full residential roofing. Need an estimate?

Grapevine's rule is absolute: asphalt shingles shall not be placed over existing roof coverings. Every re-roof goes to the deck, which means the sheathing is seen and assessed on every job — by us and by the inspector.
The standard across Grapevine's 1980s and 90s housing, specified to the adopted 115 mph with the fastener schedule, starter course and edge detailing that number implies.
UL 2218 Class 4 products in the most hail-prone county in Texas — 91 hail days in eleven years. Many Texas carriers discount for Class 4, and the case for it here is unusually strong.
Because Grapevine is still on the 2021 cycle it carries the regional R902.1 requirement on every roof, with the only exception being accessory structures under 120 square feet. Wood shakes, where used, must be minimum Class C with proof of material.
Grapevine has the Historic Township District, five local historic districts and three National Register districts. In-kind replacement is classed as ordinary maintenance and needs no Certificate of Appropriateness; a material change does.
Grapevine's franchise is non-exclusive, so a third-party roll-off is permitted — the one restriction being that it may not sit in the right-of-way or the required front yard. We place it where the city allows.
Because every Grapevine re-roof is a full tear-off, the decking assessment is not optional here — it is built into the city's own rules. How much decking is included, what happens if we find more, what flashing is replaced rather than reused, and what ventilation is specified.
In-kind replacement is ordinary maintenance under Appendix G Section 6 and needs no Certificate of Appropriateness. A change of material, colour or appearance requires a CA, decided within 60 days of a complete application after a public hearing. Same shingle back on: no delay. Switching to metal on a visible slope: budget two months.
Grapevine requires a permit for all residential re-roofs with no threshold, at one of the cheapest fees in the metro. Failure to obtain one results in double permit fees and possible citations.
Nothing opened wider than we can dry in the same day, deck repairs photographed before they disappear, manufacturer warranty registered, and the photographic record handed over at closeout.
Dimensional, UL Class A, rated to Grapevine's adopted 115 mph — and Class A satisfies the city's R902.1 requirement comfortably.
A reinforced mat tested to UL 2218 Class 4, in the county with more hail days than any other in Texas. Frequently eligible for a carrier premium discount worth pricing before you decide.
Putting the same material back avoids Certificate of Appropriateness review entirely under Appendix G Section 6. Where you want to change, we prepare the CA submittal and build the 60-day review honestly into the schedule.
Written, on our installation. Worth noting that Grapevine sets no insurance minimum and requires no bond for contractor registration — so the company behind the warranty matters more here, not less.
On qualifying architectural and impact-rated shingles, subject to installation to the published specification — including the ventilation requirements most denied claims turn on.
We come back and check sealant, flashing, boots and ridge before the next April peak.

No. Grapevine's rule is absolute: asphalt shingles shall not be placed over existing roof coverings. Every asphalt re-roof here is a full tear-off to the deck, with no exceptions written in. That is stricter than most of the metro, and it works in your favour — it means the decking is inspected on every job rather than hidden under a second layer.
Yes, on all residential re-roofs with no threshold. The fee is $42, among the cheapest in the metro. Failure to obtain a permit results in double permit fees and possibly citations.
115 mph, under the 2021 codes adopted by Ordinance 2023-081 effective 1 January 2024, with ice barrier underlayment not required. That is higher than neighbouring cities on the 2024 cycle at 105 mph, so Grapevine detailing is not interchangeable with theirs.
Yes. Grapevine is still on the 2021 cycle and carries the regional R902.1 amendment — Class A, B or C roofing shall be installed, with the only exception being accessory structures under 120 square feet. Wood shakes and shingles, where used, must be minimum Class C fire rated with proof of material.
Not if you are putting the same thing back. Appendix G, Section 6 classes in-kind replacement as ordinary maintenance, which needs no Certificate of Appropriateness. A change in material, colour or appearance does require a CA, decided within 60 days of a complete application following a public hearing. Grapevine has the Historic Township District, five local historic districts and three National Register districts, so it is worth confirming which one you are in.
There may well be, and we are not going to repeat them second-hand. Those standards live in the Grapevine Pattern Book, which we could not retrieve, so we confirm directly with Historic Preservation before ordering material for a Township District property. Anyone quoting you Township material rules should be able to say which document they come from.
The case in Grapevine is about as strong as anywhere in Texas. Tarrant County logged 91 distinct hail days from 2015 through 2025 — the most of any county in the state and twelfth in the nation — and 11 June 2023 produced 4.00-inch hail three miles east of Grapevine Reservoir. Many Texas carriers discount for a UL 2218 Class 4 product; call yours, get the real number, and we will show you the price difference.
Registration is required — Section 7-8, $75 a year, expiring 31 December, and roofing contractors are expressly included — but Grapevine sets no insurance minimum and requires no bond for it. So the city is not screening bidders on coverage. That means your own verification matters more here, not less: ask for the certificate and call the carrier.
Free inspection, honest scope, real warranty. Most service work scheduled within 24–48 hours.
