Frequently Asked Questions - Roofing in Fort Worth, TX
Straight answers to the questions Fort Worth homeowners ask us most. If you don't see yours here, call (682) 900-7902 and we'll talk it through.
Pricing & Cost FAQs
Most full roof replacements in Fort Worth run between $9,500 and $18,000 for a typical single-family home, depending on square footage, pitch, and material. Asphalt shingle roofs land on the lower end, while standing seam metal or tile push higher. Hail damage and steep slopes common in areas like Wedgwood or Ridglea Hills also affect labor. The only way to get a real number is a written line-item estimate. We put every price in writing before any work starts, so the number we quote is the number you pay. Call (682) 900-7902 for a free estimate.
Minor roof repairs in Fort Worth typically cost between $350 and $900. Replacing a few missing shingles, sealing a small leak around a vent, or fixing flashing at a chimney usually falls in that range. Larger repairs, like replacing a section of rotted decking or rebuilding a valley, can run $1,500 to $4,000. The price depends on what we find once we get on the roof and look underneath the shingles. We'll show you exactly what needs fixing and give you a written price before any work begins.
Flat roof repairs in Fort Worth generally cost between $450 and $1,800. Most flat roofs in this area use modified bitumen or TPO membrane, and small punctures or seam failures sit at the lower end. A larger patch or re-coating job climbs higher. Fort Worth's summer heat is rough on flat roofing, and we often see seams opening up on older commercial-style residential roofs. If you're seeing water stains on the ceiling, call (682) 900-7902 and we'll find the source before it gets worse.
No. The price we put in writing before the job starts is the price you pay. The only exception is if we uncover hidden damage that was impossible to see before the old roof came off, like rotted decking underneath the shingles. If that happens, we stop, show you what we found, and give you a new written price for the extra work before we proceed. No surprise charges at the end. That's part of The Garrison Standard, and it's why homeowners in Fort Worth tell us they trust our crews.
Service & Process FAQs
It starts with a call to (682) 900-7902. We schedule a time to come out, walk the roof, and take measurements. Then you get a written line-item estimate, not a number scrawled on a business card. Once you approve, we order materials and set a start date. The crew arrives inside the window we gave you, strips the old roof, repairs any damaged decking, installs the new system, and cleans up the site before we leave. You get a written one-year workmanship guarantee when the job is done.
Most residential roof replacements in Fort Worth take one to three days. A straightforward asphalt shingle roof on a single-story home can often be done in a day. Two-story homes, steep pitches, or roofs with multiple valleys and skylights take longer. Weather plays a role too, especially during spring storm season when rain can pause work. We'll give you a clear timeline when we provide the estimate, and we'll keep you posted if anything changes. Call (682) 900-7902 to get your roof scheduled.
We recommend a full tear-off in almost every case. Fort Worth code allows re-roofing over a single layer of shingles in some situations, but covering up old shingles hides problems underneath. A tear-off lets us inspect the decking, replace anything rotted, and install the new roof on a solid surface. It also preserves your manufacturer warranty. Laying new shingles over old ones can trap heat and moisture, which shortens the life of the new roof. We'll walk you through what's best for your specific roof.
Yes. We provide free written estimates for roofing work throughout Fort Worth and the surrounding cities, including Mansfield, Haltom City, Burleson, Colleyville, White Settlement, Forest Hill, River Oaks, Sansom Park, Lake Worth, Richland Hills, and Saginaw. The estimate is line-item, so you can see exactly what you're paying for. No pressure, no obligation. Call (682) 900-7902 and we'll set a time that works for you. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
If the damage is isolated, like a few missing shingles after a windstorm or a small leak around a vent pipe, a repair usually does the job. If the roof is over 20 years old, has widespread granule loss, curling shingles, or leaks in multiple places, replacement is usually the smarter investment. Hail storms in Fort Worth often cause damage across the entire roof surface, which insurance adjusters can document. We'll give you an honest assessment either way. Call (682) 900-7902 and we'll walk the roof with you.
We leave the site clean and squared away. That means magnet-sweeping the yard and driveway for nails, hauling off all old shingles and debris, and doing a final walk with you before we consider the job done. It's written into The Garrison Code, and it's not negotiable. Roofing generates a lot of debris, especially on a full tear-off, and we don't want you or your kids finding a nail in the grass two months later. "Leave the site clean and squared away" is one of the five standards every Garrison company works to.
Brands & Parts FAQs
We install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning roofing systems. These are the manufacturers we trust for Fort Worth's climate, because they hold up to the hail, wind, and intense UV exposure we get here. Each brand offers different shingle lines at different price points, from solid architectural shingles to premium impact-resistant options. We'll help you compare what matters: wind rating, impact rating, warranty, and cost. The right shingle for a home in Saginaw might not be the same as one in Colleyville, depending on tree cover and exposure.
Fort Worth gets hail, high winds, and brutal summer heat, so impact-resistant shingles from GAF, CertainTeed, or Owens Corning are worth a close look. Class 4 impact-rated shingles can reduce damage from hail and may qualify you for an insurance discount, depending on your carrier. Heat is also a factor, and lighter colors reflect more sun and keep attic temperatures down. There's no single best brand for every home. We'll match the shingle to your budget and exposure. Call (682) 900-7902 to talk through your options.
Yes. Standing seam metal roofs are increasingly popular in Fort Worth because they handle hail and wind better than asphalt, reflect heat, and can last 40 to 50 years. The upfront cost is higher than shingles, but the lifecycle math often works out for homeowners planning to stay long-term. We install metal roofing systems to manufacturer specifications, with proper underlayment and flashing, which is where a lot of metal roof problems start. If you're considering metal, call (682) 900-7902 and we'll give you a straight comparison against shingles.
Architectural shingles are thicker, have a dimensional look, and typically carry higher wind ratings and longer warranties. They're the standard for most Fort Worth roof replacements now. Three-tab shingles are the flat, older style you see on homes built decades ago. They're cheaper but thinner, with wind ratings usually capped around 60 mph, and they don't hold up as well to hail. We almost always recommend architectural shingles for Fort Worth roofs, and manufacturers like GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning have largely shifted their warranties to favor them.
Licensing & Insurance FAQs
Every pro working under our name is required to hold the license and insurance their state requires. We carry general liability coverage and workers' compensation, and we're happy to provide documentation before any work starts. Roofing is dangerous work, and Fort Worth homeowners should never let an uninsured crew on their property. A fall or accident on your roof becomes your liability if the contractor isn't covered. Ask any roofer for proof before you sign anything. We keep ours ready to show.
Yes. When a roofing job requires a permit in Fort Worth, we pull it and make sure the work passes inspection before we close out the job. Reroofing a home in Fort Worth typically requires a permit, and the city wants to verify the work meets current building code. Permits protect you, because they create a record that the work was done by a licensed contractor and inspected. It's part of doing the job by the book. Fort Worth inspects roofing work, and we don't cut corners on that process.
Emergency & Response FAQs
Move valuables out of the water's path and put a bucket or tarp down to catch the drips. If water is pooling in the ceiling, poke a small hole where it's sagging so the water drains into a bucket instead of spreading through the drywall. Then call us at (682) 900-7902. Our office hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. We'll assess the damage, find the entry point, and give you a written plan to stop the leak and repair the damage.
Yes. Fort Worth gets hit hard by spring hail storms, and we work with insurance adjusters regularly. We'll document the damage thoroughly, meet the adjuster on-site if you want us to, and provide the photos and measurements your carrier needs to process the claim. We don't handle your claim for you, but we make sure the roofing damage is accurately documented so you get a fair settlement. Once your claim is approved, we do the work to the scope the adjuster wrote, and we stand behind it for a full year.
Call us at (682) 900-7902 during office hours, Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM or Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and we'll schedule a time that works for you. We know roof problems don't wait conveniently, and homeowners want an answer faster than later. When you call, a live coordinator answers and connects you with the local team. We'll get your address, ask what you're seeing, and set a window for someone to come out and take a look.
Warranty & Guarantees FAQs
Every job we do is covered by The Garrison Standard, which includes a written one-year workmanship guarantee. If the work fails in that time, we come back and make it right at no charge. Manufacturer warranties on materials run separately and are longer. Most shingle manufacturers offer 25 to 50-year material warranties, with some covering labor for a set period if the system is installed by a certified contractor. We'll explain exactly what's covered, what's not, and how long each warranty lasts before you sign anything.
The Garrison Standard is the service standard every Garrison Partners company works to. It covers five things in writing: we arrive inside the window we gave you, we put the price in writing before any work starts, we do the job by the book the first time, we leave the site clean and squared away, and we stand behind the work for a full year. If the work fails during that year, we come back and fix it at no charge. It's not a marketing slogan. It's the operating standard for every roof we touch in Fort Worth.
If the repair fails within the one-year workmanship guarantee period, we come back and make it right at no charge. You call (682) 900-7902, tell us what's happening, and we schedule a return visit. We don't argue about whether it was our fault. If the work didn't hold, that's on us. The guarantee is written, not verbal, and you'll have a copy. Roofs in Fort Worth take a beating, and we expect our work to hold up to the weather it's rated for. If it doesn't, we own it.
Manufacturer warranties cover defects in the shingles themselves, like premature cracking or granule loss that happens under normal conditions. They typically do not cover hail damage, wind damage, or other storm-related loss. Hail damage is handled through your homeowners insurance policy. Some manufacturers offer impact-resistant shingle lines, but even those warranties exclude damage from severe storms. We'll walk you through exactly what your manufacturer warranty covers and what belongs on your insurance claim before the work starts.
Both. The one-year workmanship guarantee under The Garrison Standard applies to every job we do, whether it's a small repair or a full roof replacement. The guarantee covers the workmanship, meaning the way we installed the system, sealed the flashing, and fastened the materials. It doesn't cover new damage from storms or tree limbs, which is what your insurance and manufacturer warranty are for. But if the work itself fails, we come back and make it right. No fine print games. Call (682) 900-7902 to schedule your free estimate.
