Our Roof Replacement Process

Essential Information Before Starting Your Roof Replacement:

After our expert roofing team inspects your home and concludes that a replacement is necessary, we will meet with you to discuss our documented findings and guide you through the following key steps:

1. Regulations

   • In some states, roofing companies must hold licenses; however, Texas does not require licensing for roof replacements. It’s crucial to conduct thorough research to ensure you can trust the roofing company you select. We believe it’s vital to take the time to inform you about our company’s background, how we began, and what makes Performance Roofing stand out. While we hope you choose us, obtaining multiple bids is always wise to ensure you select the right roofing contractor.

2. Roof Materials

   • The style of your home and the previous roofing system will influence the type of roofing system we recommend. While many homeowners opt for the same material, such as replacing asphalt shingles with another asphalt option, some may choose to switch to tile, metal, or another specialty roofing system.

3. Budget

   • The primary factor affecting your budget is whether the roof replacement is out of your own pocket or due to storm damage. If storm damage is the cause, you’ll only need to pay your insurance deductible. While a roof replacement can be an inconvenience, it’s an excellent opportunity to enhance your home’s curb appeal while investing in a durable roofing system.

4. Style, Aesthetics, and Durability

   • Based on your home's characteristics, budget, and requirements, we will suggest colors and types of roofing systems. For instance, if your previous roofing system was a 3-tab shingle, we highly recommend upgrading to an architectural shingle, which offers greater longevity, a higher wind rating, and more aesthetic options. If you already have an architectural shingle, you might consider upgrading to a class 4 impact-resistant roofing system due to the severe weather conditions in North Texas. These systems generally last longer, require less maintenance, and save you money over time. Additionally, newer roofing systems provide enhanced energy efficiency. Given the heat in North Texas, if maintaining a cooler home is essential, there are systems specifically designed for that, such as the Atlas Pinnacle Sun with cool roof technology.

5. Written Estimate and Contract

   • Our roofing consultant will provide you with a detailed written estimate and contract. Always remember to avoid paying a roofer before the work begins to prevent any potential issues.

6. Time Frame

   • Once you’ve chosen a roofing system that fits your budget and selected a roofing company, consider the timing of your roof replacement. Factors influencing the timeline include weather conditions , material availability, and the roofing company’s schedule for installation.
