Not sure if you want to repair or replace your roof?
For a full roof replacement, the most common options are asphalt shingle replacement, metal roof installation, and flat or low-slope roof replacement. Slate, tile, and wood are less common, but the contractors listed below may offer them. Many homeowners bundle roof replacement and gutter replacement.
Roof repairs are a good option for isolated problems on a roof that still has enough remaining life that replacement isn't justified. Roof inspections are a separate service that can make sense when you're buying a home, after a major storm, or when you're getting conflicting opinions from contractors about whether you need a repair or replacement.

Dallas climate: hot, dry, severe thunderstorms, frequent hail.
Intense UV and heat are the defining stress on roofing in this climate. Cool roof coatings (reflectance ≥ 0.65) and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles both pay off, the latter especially in the hail-prone parts of Texas and New Mexico.
Roof Replacement in Dallas usually runs $8,800–$17,500 for a standard project on an average home. That is lower than the average national rate, because labor costs are lower in Dallas. The table below compares national averages with typical Dallas pricing.

Installed cost in Dallas runs roughly 3% below the national average for this trade. Here's how we got to that number.
Project costs include three main components: labor, materials, and overhead. Material ships at national prices no matter where you live, and overhead is fairly consistent as well. So the main pricing difference between metro areas is labor costs. This is why a quote from a high-wage metro is rarely as far above the national average as people expect.
To get Dallas labor costs, we compared the average hourly wage in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX area to the national average hourly wage for this trade. (source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025)
We found that the local trade wages sit about 15% below the national figure. Labor costs typically make up about 22% of a roof replacement project cost, so the weighted difference between Dallas and national averages is −3%. See methodology and sources.
It depends on the scope of your project, so you should talk to the permitting authority to find out what your project needs. In general, Dallas permitting is simple compared to other metros we cover.
Permitting for structural work in this area goes through City of Dallas. Apply at dallascityhall.com/permits. Collin and Denton County projects follow municipal guidelines.
You should ask each contractor if they pull the permits for you and if the fee for pulling permits is included in their quote. Also, tell them you need to see the written, approved permit before work starts.
There is no Texas state license for roof replacement. This work is governed locally. (source, verified as of 2026-08-12) What that means and how to verify a contractor in Texas →

Homeowners across DaBella’s network consistently point to the in-home consultation as the best part of the process: a named rep who lays out every option and price point without rushing, and on window jobs, lets you feel the difference between glass packages before you decide. Where a job is finished, the reviews get specific: full roof replacements wrapped up in a single day, whole-house window installs that leave rooms noticeably quieter, and bath and shower conversions homeowners call worth it once the work is done. DaBella covers roofing, siding, windows, bath, walk-in tubs, gutters and solar, and is a GAF Master Elite and James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor; its windows now come under the Fairfield and Glasswing lines. Financing runs through independent third-party lenders. DaBella states plainly in its own terms that it is neither a broker nor a lender. The in-home visit covers a lot of ground, so set aside real time for it, and ask which product line (Fairfield or Glasswing on windows, for example) your quote covers.
Erie Home’s install crews draw the same specific praise at branch after branch: cleanup. Reviewers describe a full tear-off (sometimes stripping two layers of old shingles) finished in well under a day, with every nail and scrap of packaging cleared and the dumpster hauled away before the crew leaves. Their core product is stone-coated steel roofing, a heavier-duty alternative to asphalt backed by a fifty-year transferable warranty covering manufacturing and installation defects, including wind and hail. Erie Home’s two divisions are Roofing Systems and Basement Solutions, and it shares ownership with LeafFilter under Leaf Home. Metal costs more up front than asphalt; the trade-off is longevity and storm resistance. If you are quoted asphalt instead, ask how the warranty changes after year ten, since labor is covered differently from that point on.
Power Home Remodeling is one of the largest multi-trade exterior remodelers in the country, covering windows, roofing, siding, doors, attic insulation and solar. Its Homeowner Bill of Rights includes a commitment it calls blind pricing: a promise that your price will never vary by your age, income, race or the value of your home. Reviewers consistently name their installation crew and describe fast, tidy work: floors and furniture protected, old materials hauled away, and whole window or siding jobs finished in a day or two. Many are repeat customers, returning for a second or third project years after the first. Installation is carried out by independent contractors partnered with Power, and if a glass seal fails years down the line (or the specific product line is no longer made) ask now what the warranty covers and how a claim gets scheduled.
