Roof replacement
Roof Replacement in Plano, TX
Tear-off to the deck and a complete new system, on homes from the older streets near Los Rios Boulevard out to the newer builds along the Dallas North Tollway.
When a Plano Roof Has Reached the End
Roof replacement in Plano usually arrives for one of two reasons: a storm took the roof out early, or the roof simply reached the end of a normal service life and started telling you about it. The signs are consistent. Granules collecting in the gutters. Shingles that curl at the corners or crack across the face. Bare spots on the southern and western slopes where the sun has done the most work. Roofing Plano Texas starts every replacement the same way, with somebody on the roof and a camera, because the difference between a roof that needs replacing and a roof that needs a repair is worth thousands of dollars to you and we would rather be right than fast. If the roof genuinely needs to come off, you get the full scope in writing before anything is scheduled.
What a Full Replacement Covers
Everything below is written into the estimate as its own line with a quantity, so there are no categories hiding inside a lump sum.
Property protection before the tear-off
Tarps over landscaping, plywood against the siding where debris will fall, and the driveway laid out for the dump trailer so the truck is not sitting on your lawn.
Complete tear-off to the deck
Every layer comes off. Roofing over an existing layer hides the deck, adds weight, and shortens the life of the new shingles, so we do not do it.
Decking inspection and replacement
With the deck exposed we check for soft sheathing, delamination, old leak staining and nail withdrawal. Replacement sheets are billed at the per-sheet rate quoted up front, and we photograph what came out.
Drip edge at eaves and rakes
Metal edge installed on all edges, under the underlayment at the rake and over it at the eave, which is the detail that keeps wind-driven water from running back onto the fascia.
Ice and water membrane at the vulnerable points
Self-adhering membrane in the valleys and around penetrations, where water is concentrated and where nearly every leak we chase originates.
Synthetic underlayment across the field
Full coverage, fastened per the manufacturer's pattern. Synthetic holds up during the install and does not wrinkle the way felt does when it gets damp.
New flashing at every transition
Step flashing at wall intersections, counterflashing where it can be reset, and new pipe boots throughout. Reusing old flashing is the single most common corner-cut in this trade.
Shingle installation to the manufacturer's nailing spec
Correct nail count, correct placement in the nailing zone, correct exposure. This is also what keeps the material warranty valid, which is the part most homeowners never hear about.
Ridge ventilation and intake balance
Ridge vent cut and installed where the design supports it, with intake checked at the soffits. A roof exhausting more than it can take in pulls conditioned air out of the house.
Full cleanup and magnetic sweep
Debris is loaded as the job runs. Driveway, walkways, flower beds and lawn get swept with a magnet before the crew leaves.
How the Job Runs
- 01
The measurement and the scope
We walk the roof, measure it, photograph the condition, and check the attic where access allows. You get a written scope with quantities and a per-sheet decking rate stated in advance. This visit costs nothing and takes under an hour on a typical Plano home.
- 02
Materials and scheduling
You pick the system and color. If your neighborhood has architectural guidelines on shingle color, we will tell you before you order rather than after. Material is delivered ahead of the crew, and we schedule around the forecast rather than through it.
- 03
Tear-off and install
Most single-family Plano roofs are a one-day or two-day job. We open only what can be dried in the same day, the deck is inspected as it is exposed, and you are shown anything unexpected while it is still open rather than in a phone call afterwards. The final walk happens with you on the ground and the photos in hand.
Why Homeowners Pick Us for a Replacement
The decking number is agreed before we start
Unexpected decking is the most common place a roofing bill grows. We quote a per-sheet rate up front, count the sheets in front of you, and photograph every one that comes off. The number cannot move without you seeing why.
Your estimate is comparable to anyone else's
Because the scope is itemized by category and quantity, you can lay our estimate beside another and see exactly where they differ. That is uncomfortable for a lot of contractors, which is precisely why we do it.
Two warranties, stated separately
The manufacturer warrants the material. We warrant the installation, in a separate written document, with terms you read before signing. When someone hands you one page that blurs the two together, ask which party is actually on the hook.
- Insured crews
- Written line-item estimates
- One to two days on most Plano homes
- Manufacturer-spec installation
- Workmanship warranty in writing
Get the Replacement Scope in Writing
A roof is the largest single exterior purchase most homeowners make, and it should not be bought off a verbal number. We will measure it, photograph it, and hand you a scope you can actually read. If it turns out the roof can be repaired instead, we will tell you that too.
