AfterFull Roof Replacement in Dallas, TX
A full roof replacement in Dallas means removing everything down to the decking and installing a new roofing system from the underlayment up. Most Dallas homes need this when a roof reaches 18 to 25 years old, or when hail and wind damage go past the point where patching makes sense. Tilehurst Roofing Dallas handles the entire job from tear-off to final cleanup, with a written price in your hands before any work starts. Call (903) 499-4275 for a free estimate.
This page covers what full replacement involves, how to know when it’s time, what it costs in Dallas, and how we approach the job. If you’re still weighing repair against replacement, start with our Roof Replacement & Installation in Dallas page for the broader picture.

When You Need Full Roof Replacement
Not every roof problem calls for a full tear-off. Here are the situations where full replacement is usually the right call in Dallas:
- Age, plain and simple. A 3-tab asphalt shingle roof in Dallas typically lasts 15 to 20 years; architectural shingles run 20 to 30. If yours is past that range, you’re living on borrowed time, and the next hailstorm may make the decision for you.
- Widespread hail or wind damage. North Texas sees some of the most frequent and severe hail in the country. When a storm hits neighborhoods like Lake Highlands or Oak Cliff, we often find damage across 60% or more of the roof surface. At that point, replacing the whole roof costs less per year of life than patching repeatedly.
- Visible sagging or soft decking. If you can see dips in the roofline from the street, or if the roof feels spongy underfoot, the decking has likely absorbed moisture. That’s a structural issue, not a shingle issue. A full replacement lets us replace rotted decking before it becomes a safety problem.
- Leaks in more than one room. One leak near a chimney or pipe boot is usually a repair. Leaks in two or three different areas typically mean the underlayment has failed across a wide section. When we tear off a roof in this condition, it’s rarely a surprise to find widespread damage underneath.
- Before selling the home. Dallas buyers and their inspectors are tough on old roofs. A full replacement can close a sale that would otherwise stall, and many sellers recover the cost in the transaction.
If you’re not sure whether you need replacement or can get by with repair, call (903) 499-4275. We’ll give you an honest read, not a sales pitch.
Our Full Roof Replacement Process
Greg Holloway runs Tilehurst Roofing Dallas the way the Kingswell family has run roofing companies since 2000: say the price before the work, show up in the window we gave, leave the place cleaner than we found it, put the guarantee in writing, and come back if it fails. Here’s how a full replacement goes:
- Inspection and written estimate. We walk the roof, photograph what we find, and measure everything. You get a written price that lists the scope, materials, and labor. That price is finalized before we touch your roof, and it doesn’t change at the door.
- Material selection. You choose from seven manufacturers, not whatever happens to be in our truck. For Dallas homes we frequently install IKO architectural shingles for their wind ratings, Atlas shingles for their hail impact options, and Tamko lines when budget is tight but quality still matters. We’ll explain the trade-offs in plain language and let you decide.
- Tear-off and decking inspection. We remove everything down to the decking, then inspect every sheet. Rotted or water-damaged decking gets replaced before we proceed. We don’t cover problems up; we fix them while the roof is open.
- New underlayment, drip edge, and flashing. A full replacement means a new water-shedding layer from the eaves up. We replace drip edge (the metal strip that guides water into the gutter, not behind it), re-flash pipes, chimneys, and valleys, and install synthetic underlayment for a cleaner, more durable water barrier than old felt paper.
- New shingles, ridge cap, and ventilation. Our crews install the shingles to manufacturer spec, then cap the ridges and hips. We also check attic ventilation and correct it where needed, because a new roof on a poorly vented attic is a warranty failure waiting to happen.
- Cleanup, walkthrough, and written guarantee. We go over the site with magnetic sweepers for nails, walk you through the finished roof, and hand you a written guarantee before the crew leaves. It’s not mailed later, and it’s not verbal. It’s in your hand on the day the job finishes.
Full Roof Replacement Pricing in Dallas
Most full roof replacements in Dallas cost between $9,000 and $17,000 for a single-family home with architectural asphalt shingles. Where you land in that range depends on the size and slope of the roof, how many layers need to come off, decking condition, and the materials you choose.
| Scope | Typical Range in Dallas |
|---|---|
| 1,200 – 1,500 sq ft roof, architectural shingles, one layer tear-off | $9,000 – $12,500 |
| 1,500 – 2,200 sq ft roof, architectural shingles, one layer tear-off | $11,500 – $16,000 |
| 2,200 – 3,000 sq ft roof, architectural shingles, one layer tear-off | $15,000 – $22,000 |
| Decking replacement per sheet of rotted plywood or OSB | $75 – $120 per sheet |
| Second layer tear-off (if the roof has shingles over shingles) | $1,500 – $3,000 added |
| Premium impact-resistant shingles (Atlas StormMaster, IKO Nordic, etc.) | 25% – 40% above architectural range |
These are real numbers from jobs we’ve priced in Dallas neighborhoods like Preston Hollow, M Streets, and East Dallas. They’re not promises; every home is different. What they give you is a starting point so you can spot a lowball bid that’ll balloon later or a high quote that’s padding for no reason.
Factors that move the price: steep roofs cost more because crews move slower and safety equipment takes longer to set up. Roofs with unusual geometry (multiple valleys, dormers, turrets) add labor. Decking in poor condition adds material cost. And of course, shingle grade matters. We carry options from IKO, Atlas, and Tamko, plus four more manufacturers, so you can choose the material that fits your home and your budget.
Every estimate comes with a written price before any work starts. That’s the Kingswell way, and it’s non-negotiable at our Dallas location. Call (903) 499-4275 and we’ll schedule a time to walk your roof and put the number in your hand.
FAQs – Full Roof Replacement
How much does a full roof replacement cost in Dallas?
For most Dallas single-family homes, a full roof replacement costs $9,000 to $17,000 with architectural asphalt shingles. The exact number depends on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and the shingle you choose. Call (903) 499-4275 for a written estimate based on your actual roof, not an average.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a roof?
Repairs are cheaper in the short run, but if your roof needs repairs across more than 20% of its surface or is past its expected life, repeated repairs cost more per year of roof life than a full replacement. In hail-prone Dallas, we often see homeowners pay for two or three patch jobs before realizing the math favors replacement. We’ll tell you which side of the line your roof is on when we inspect it.
Can you replace my roof the same week I call?
In many cases, yes. During storm season or after a major hail event, scheduling tightens and we’ll tell you that honestly. Call (903) 499-4275 and a live person will answer, check the schedule, and give you a straight answer with a firm window.
How long does a full roof replacement take?
Most full replacements in Dallas take one to two days of on-roof work. Larger homes, steep pitches, and decking replacement can extend that to three or four. We’ll give you a schedule in writing and stick to it, the same way we do for every Kingswell family roofing company.
Do you offer metal roofing or only shingles?
We primarily install asphalt shingle systems, including architectural and impact-resistant lines from IKO, Atlas, and Tamko. If you’re considering metal, we’ll talk through whether it makes sense for your Dallas home and point you in the right direction rather than selling you something we don’t install regularly.
