Roof Replacement in Carrollton, TX

A replacement is the one day the whole roof is open and every hidden layer is fixable. The job here is to use that day well, and to photograph it, stage by stage, before the new field covers the evidence.

The rebuild

What a full replacement involves on a Carrollton roof.

Across ZCTA 75006, the south side of town, the median home dates to 1981, and a lot of those roofs are on their second or third field. When another patch stops being the honest answer, the replacement rebuilds everything above the rafters: decking repairs, membrane, flashing, field, and ventilation, in that order.

Each stage gets photographed while it is still visible. Before committing, most homeowners want two things settled: what it will cost and which shingle makes sense here. Both pages give real answers before anyone is on your roof.

Scope

The written scope, line by line.

Every replacement estimate itemizes these stages, and the photo record covers each one.

01Tear-off to bare wood: Old field and underlayment off, decking exposed and inspected on camera
02Decking repairs: Soft or split sheets replaced and photographed before anything covers them
03Synthetic underlayment: Full-deck coverage, run flat and capped, not felt strips
04Valley and eave membrane: Self-adhered ice-and-water where water concentrates and wind drives rain
05Edge metal and flashing: New drip edge, new step flashing at walls and chimneys, nothing reused by default
06The field, nailed to spec: Architectural, Class 4, or standing-seam metal, fastened on the manufacturer line
07Balanced ventilation: Intake and exhaust matched so the Texas attic heat stops cooking the shingles
08Cleanup and magnet sweep: Debris hauled, gutters cleared, lawn swept for fasteners

The figure attached to this scope is measured from your roof and committed in writing. What the tear-off reveals gets photographed and priced before it gets fixed, never silently added.

Replacement questions.

Timing, layers, and what happens to surprises under the old field.

Q1How long does a replacement take on a typical Carrollton house?

Most single-family asphalt jobs run one to two days once materials are staged, weather cooperating. Larger multi-plane roofs and standing-seam metal run longer, and the written scope includes the expected timeline so nothing about the week surprises you.

Q2What happens if the tear-off finds bad decking?

It gets photographed where it lies, priced per sheet as written in the scope, and replaced only after you have seen both. Decking surprises are common on the 1980s stock here; silent invoice surprises are not part of the process.

Q3Do I have to keep the same shingle the neighborhood has?

No, though HOA communities may have approval lists, which the scope paperwork handles. The shingle guide walks the real choices, including the Class 4 impact option this county gives good reasons to price.
