Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Arlington
A full roof replacement in Arlington, TX typically runs between $9,800 and $18,500 for a standard single-family home with architectural asphalt shingles, with most jobs completed in one to three days once materials are on site. That price range reflects the 1,800 to 2,600 square foot ranch and two-story brick homes that dominate Arlington’s housing stock, along with the hail-rated underlayment and fastening upgrades Tarrant County now expects on acreage and unincorporated lots. If you call (903) 499-4275, you’ll get a written line-item quote before any work starts, and you’ll speak to a live person, not a voicemail tree.
We work across Arlington every week, from the planned subdivisions of southeast Arlington to the older ranch tracts out past Dalworthington Gardens. Lots of those homes have original composition shingles from the late 1970s through the 1990s, and they’re hitting failure age all at once. We know what Arlington roofs look like after twenty-five years of hail season, because we’ve torn off hundreds of them.
Why Tilehurst Roofing Dallas Is Arlington’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Tilehurst Roofing is a Kingswell family company, founded in 2000, and our Arlington customers deal with the same crew, the same phone number, and the same written pricing from first call to final inspection. Greg Holloway runs our Roof Replacement team, and his crews service Arlington directly from the Dallas-Fort Worth office, so scheduling doesn’t hinge on a distant branch. That matters when hail season hits and a third of your street needs a new roof in the same month.
Our reputation in Arlington is built on showing up in the window we give, handing you a written price before the first nail is driven, and standing behind the work under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right within a full year after the job, we return and make it right at no charge. That’s a written guarantee, delivered before the crew leaves, not something you have to ask for later.
Arlington homeowners have told us the same thing over and over: a previous contractor no-showed, or changed the price at the door, or finished a repair that failed before the next storm. We built our process to be the opposite of that. A live person answers every call, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You’ll know exactly who is on your roof, because every technician is background-checked and uniformed.
Styles & brands we work with
Reroofing in Arlington
Reroofing in Arlington on an acreage parcel is a different job than a same-day tear-off in a tight city subdivision, and the difference usually comes down to where you can stage. When a roof deck is still sound, reroofing means laying a new shingle layer over the existing one, and on Arlington lots with septic drain fields, water wells, and open drainage swales, Tarrant County enforces setback distances that can force us to stage the material drop and trailer on the opposite side of the house. That changes how we quote the job, because the labor line shifts. A typical reroof in Arlington on an average single-story home runs $6,800 to $11,500, though most homeowners at that stage are better served by a full tear-off and replacement. If the decking has any soft spots or fastener pop-through, reroofing hides the problem instead of fixing it. We’ll tell you which one your roof actually needs, and why, before you spend a dollar.
Decking Assessment on Older Arlington Homes
Homes built in Arlington between 1970 and 1995 often have original 3/8-inch plywood decking that has flexed through decades of hail impacts and thermal cycling. If that decking is still fastening clean to the rafters, reroofing can work. If it’s delaminating at the edges, we recommend full decking replacement, which in Arlington adds $2,200 to $4,800 depending on square footage and how much of the old deck has to be cut out and hauled off.
Detached Shops and Outbuildings
On Arlington acreage, the main house isn’t always the only roof that’s failing. Detached shops, barns, and ADUs were often built under agricultural exemptions with thinner decking and missing starter strip, and they’re usually the first to go. We scope every outbuilding before we quote so your reroof doesn’t leave the shop leaking while the house gets all the attention.
Flat Roof Replacement in Arlington
Flat Roof Replacement in Arlington shows up most often on mid-century additions, carports, and the occasional commercial-style outbuilding, and the cost on a typical 400-to-800-square-foot flat roof runs $6,000 to $12,500 depending on membrane choice and deck condition. Arlington’s hail doesn’t care whether your roof is sloped or flat, and a flat roof with ponding water after a storm is a liability that gets worse every week. We use modified bitumen and TPO systems from manufacturers like GAF and CertainTeed, with taped seams and new metal edge flashing, because Arlington’s high summer heat and occasional ice storms punish improperly flashed flat roofs faster than just about anything else.
Ponding and Drainage on Open Lots
Flat roofs on Arlington acreage homes fail for a predictable reason: nobody graded the lot to move water away from the structure, so the flat section holds water after every rain. Before we replace the membrane, we check the scuppers and the grade, and if the drainage is wrong we’ll flag it. A new roof over a ponding problem is a new roof with a short life, and we won’t sell you that.
TPO vs. Modified Bitumen for Arlington’s Climate
TPO holds up well under Arlington’s UV load and reflects heat, which keeps the space below cooler in July and August. Modified bitumen is tougher against foot traffic and hail impacts, and it’s the better call when your flat roof is on a shop or carport that sees real use. We’ll quote both options and tell you which one fits your roof’s actual job, not which one happens to be on the truck that week.
Trusted Brands We Service in Arlington
Material selection matters in Arlington, where hail ratings and wind-uplift fastening requirements are written into a lot of county permits. We install shingles and flat systems from seven major manufacturers, including GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so the product fits your home’s pitch and your HOA’s color rules instead of a single house brand. For Arlington acreage, we lean on Atlas and IKO impact-rated architectural lines when the lot is open and exposed, because those are the roofs that get hit hardest in a Hail Alley storm. We stock common trim, ridge cap, and flashing profiles locally, so we’re not waiting on a distributor when your replacement is staged and ready to go.

AfterCommon Roof Replacement Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Septic and well setbacks blocking staging. On unincorporated Tarrant County lots around Arlington, the county enforces distance requirements between your septic drain field or water well and any heavy equipment we stage. If we don’t verify those setbacks before we quote, the job can stall at permit, and that means a torn-off roof exposed to the next hailstorm.
- Wind-uplift fastening failures on acreage roofs. County inspectors in the unincorporated pockets around Arlington require a separate on-site check for roof decking fastening to meet wind uplift. When a contractor skips that pre-inspection on an acreage property, the replacement can fail the final inspection and need rework.
- Original composition shingles at failure age, all at once. Whole subdivisions in southeast Arlington were built in the same five-to-ten-year window, so the roofs are aging together. After a bad hail year, you’ll see entire blocks in Dalworthington Gardens getting new roofs in the same month, often in matching shingle colors because of HOA rules and insurance adjuster recommendations.
- Outbuildings roofed under agricultural exemptions. Detached shops and ADUs on Arlington acreage were often built with thinner decking or no starter strip because they weren’t subject to the same code as the main house. When the house gets replaced but the outbuildings aren’t scoped, you’re left with a new main roof and a shop that starts leaking two years later.
Pricing for Roof Replacement in Arlington, TX
On a standard Arlington single-family home, a full architectural shingle replacement runs $9,800 to $18,500. Reroofing over a sound deck runs $6,800 to $11,500. Flat roof replacement on a typical 400-to-800-square-foot section runs $6,000 to $12,500. What shifts the number in Arlington specifically is whether your lot is inside city limits or on unincorporated county land, because county permitting on acreage triggers the extra on-site decking inspection and setback verification. Septic and well setbacks can move your staging location, and on a wide-open lot, that’s a labor cost. Call (903) 499-4275 and Greg Holloway’s team will give you a written line-item quote before any work starts, always. Estimates are free, and the price we write doesn’t change at the door.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Arlington
Yes, if your property sits in an unincorporated pocket of Tarrant County, you’ll pull a county permit separate from any city permit, and the county requires an on-site check for roof decking fastening to meet wind uplift before the inspection is scheduled. The septic and well don’t add a separate permit, but the county’s setback distances determine where we can stage equipment and store material. Call (903) 499-4275 and we’ll verify your specific parcel before quoting so there’s no stall once the old roof is off.
Not automatically, but we’ll scope it during the estimate, because shops and ADUs on Arlington acreage are often roofed with thinner decking and missing starter strip from the original agricultural-exemption build, and that fails faster than the main house. If the outbuilding needs work, we’ll give you a separate line item so you can phase it or do it in the same mobilization. Call (903) 499-4275 for a free, written quote on the whole lot.
If your lot drains poorly and water ponds near the foundation or on a flat roof section, the roof replacement scope has to account for correcting the drainage path, or you’ll get premature failure at the edges and around the flashing. That can add $800 to $2,500 in regrading, scupper work, or gutter adjustments, and we flag it before you sign, not after. Call (903) 499-4275 for a quote that includes the drainage reality of your specific lot.
Dalworthington Gardens has HOA rules and a tightly grouped housing stock, so after a major hailstorm, insurance adjusters and HOA boards often push the same shingle color across entire blocks, and you’ll see half the street reroofed in matching tones within a few weeks. It’s a real local pattern, and if you need to match a specific color for HOA approval, we can pull samples from all seven manufacturers we carry. Call (903) 499-4275 and tell us your HOA’s color rule; we’ll match it.
Yes, in the valleys, around penetrations, and along the eaves, because Arlington gets occasional ice storms that melt and refreeze at the roof edge, and wind-driven rain in Hail Alley gets under shingles that lack the membrane. Ice and water shield is standard on our replacements in Arlington, and it also protects against the wind-driven leaks we’ve seen on older ranch homes out past Dalworthington Gardens. Call (903) 499-4275 for a written quote that includes it, not as an add-on.
