When your roof is damaged or leaking, you want a local roofer who can look at the problem soon and explain it in plain words.
Dallas sits at the southern edge of Tornado Alley, where spring cold fronts collide with humid Gulf air to produce severe thunderstorms with hail, damaging wind and occasional tornadoes, including the EF3 that tore through North Dallas in October 2019. Summers are long and hot, with several 100-degree days most years that wear down roofing materials. Freezing rain and ice storms show up a couple of times in a typical winter.
Repairs in Dallas often follow spring hailstorms, tornadoes and severe thunderstorm winds, extreme summer heat and UV and winter ice storms and freezing rain. Mention what happened to your roof when you call, so you are connected with a roofer who handles that kind of repair.

Do Dallas roof repairs need a permit?
Dallas requires a re-roof permit when a large area or the entire roof is replaced, and a separate building permit if rafters, joists or other roof structure are damaged. Minor repairs to roofing or roof vents, and single-family or duplex re-roof work valued at $500 or less, do not need a permit, though historic, conservation and planned development districts can add requirements.
- Shingle and roof deck replacement uses a roofing permit, while damage to rafters or joists requires a full building permit.
- Homes in historic, conservation or planned development districts may face extra roofing requirements even for otherwise exempt work.
- Re-roofing permits can be obtained at a Building Inspection district office or online.
Check with the City of Dallas Development Services, Building Inspection Division if you are unsure.

Roof Repair in Dallas: questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Dallas?
Dallas requires a re-roof permit when a large area or the entire roof is replaced, and a separate building permit if rafters, joists or other roof structure are damaged.

What causes the most roof damage in Dallas?
Dallas sits at the southern edge of Tornado Alley, where spring cold fronts collide with humid Gulf air to produce severe thunderstorms with hail, damaging wind and occasional tornadoes, including the EF3 that tore through North Dallas in October 2019. Summers are long and hot, with several 100-degree days most years that wear down roofing materials. Freezing rain and ice storms show up a couple of times in a typical winter. Common problems local roofers see include spring hailstorms, tornadoes and severe thunderstorm winds, extreme summer heat and UV and winter ice storms and freezing rain.
Which parts of Dallas can I get a roofer in?
Calls are connected with roofing companies that serve Dallas, including Lakewood, Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, Oak Cliff, Kessler Park and Bishop Arts, and nearby areas such as Irving, Garland and Richardson.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
It depends on the age of the roof and how widespread the damage is. Small, isolated problems on a roof in good shape are usually repaired. If damage is spread across the roof or the roof is near the end of its life, a roofer may suggest replacement.
How do I find roof repair contractors I can trust?
Ask for proof of licensing and insurance, a written estimate and warranty details. Be careful with anyone who pressures you to sign right away. Calling Roofing Captain connects you with a local roofer so you can start that conversation.
