Roof Replacement in Dallas, Done Right the First Time
An 18-year-old roof is a 25-year decision. Bert Roofing has been installing residential roofs in Dallas since 1988. Architectural asphalt, Class 4 impact-resistant, synthetic slate, stone-coated steel, and historic cedar. Same family on the title, same Cayuga Drive office, same factory-certified crews on every job.
A Limited Lifetime Shingle Can Still Fail Early When Installed Wrong
The shingle brand is only part of the roof system. Installation matters just as much: sound decking, manufacturer-approved underlayment, proper ventilation, correct flashing at valleys, walls, and chimneys, and ice-and-water protection where the roof design calls for it. Shortcuts in those areas can cause premature leaks and can affect manufacturer warranty coverage even when the finished roof looks fine from the street.
Dallas hailstorms bring a surge of roofing activity, and installation quality can vary widely. Problems with decking, flashing, ventilation, or underlayment may not show up immediately. That is why our estimates focus on the complete roofing system, not just the shingle price. The goal is a roof installed correctly from the start and built to perform for years.
Shingle Tiers
Many Material Choices, One Install Standard
Every tier uses Bert Roofing crews, factory-certified installation, and a written workmanship warranty. The price difference is materials and complexity, not the quality of the work.
Architectural Asphalt Shingles
Laminated asphalt shingles are the most common residential roofing material in Dallas. They offer a broad range of colors and styles, strong wind ratings, and good overall value. Actual service life in North Texas depends heavily on installation, ventilation, sun exposure, and storm history.

Limited Lifetime
Class 3 and Class 4 Impact-Resistant Shingles
Impact-resistant architectural shingles are available in Class 3 and Class 4 ratings under UL 2218. Both offer improved impact resistance compared with standard shingles. Class 4 is the higher rating. Some products may qualify for insurance discounts, depending on the carrier and policy. GAF specifically notes that available discounts vary by insurer and location
Common lines
GAF Timberline HTZ Class 3 IR, Owens Corning Duration Class 3 IR, CertainTeed Landmark Class 3 IR, GAF ArmorShield II Class 4, Owens Corning Duration FLEX Class 4 IR, CertainTeed Landmark ClimateFlex Class 4
Impact rating
25 to 30 years, hail-resilient

Synthetic Slate
Synthetic slate provides the look of natural slate at a fraction of the weight. Products from DaVinci and Brava offer premium appearance, Class 4 impact resistance, and long-term manufacturer warranty coverage without the structural demands of natural slate.
Stone-coated steel combines the durability of metal roofing with the appearance of tile, shake, or slate. It is relatively lightweight, offers strong wind and fire performance, and many systems carry Class 4 impact ratings, making it a durable premium option for Dallas homes.
Common lines
DECRA Tile, Boral Steel Pacific Tile
Manufacturer warranty
Varies by manufacturer, typically 50-year or Lifetime Limited
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal uses concealed fasteners and mechanically seamed or snap-lock panels to create a durable, low-maintenance roof system. It can be used on lower slopes than asphalt shingles when the panel system is designed for it, making it useful for both full roofs and low-slope architectural sections. It also provides a clean, distinctive appearance and excellent long-term durability.
Best for
Premium homes, lower-slope roof sections, and long-term durability
Historic Cedar Shakes and Shingles
Cedar shakes and shingles remain appropriate for historic homes where an authentic wood roof matters. Shakes are thicker and more rustic, while shingles are thinner, milled, and more uniform. We use No. 1 grade fire-retardant-treated cedar with proper flashing and corrosion-resistant fasteners.
Common specifications
No. 1 Grade Fire-Retardant-Treated Western Red Cedar Shakes and Shingles
Expected lifespan
30 to 40 years with maintenance

TPO Roofing
TPO is a single-ply membrane used on low-slope and flat roof areas. Heat-welded seams create a continuous waterproof system, and the reflective surface helps reduce heat absorption. It works well on additions, porches, and other roof sections where shingles are not appropriate.
Modified bitumen is a durable rubberized asphalt roofing system for low-slope and flat roof areas. Its mineral-granule surface is available in several colors and handles foot traffic and falling tree debris well. Self-adhered systems are especially practical for residential additions, porches, and other low-slope sections because they can often be installed alongside the shingle portion of the project.
Best for
Low-slope roofs, tree-covered areas, porches, and additions

The Project, Step by Step
Six Steps From First Call to Final Walk-Through
01
Free Inspection
A Bert Roofing project manager walks your roof, takes photos, and documents what they find. We check decking condition, ventilation, flashing integrity, and the shingle field. Takes 30 to 45 minutes.
02
Written Estimate
You get a line-item written estimate. Materials, shingle line, decking allowance, underlayment spec, flashing, ventilation, dump fees, warranty terms. Everything quoted. No "we will figure it out" lines.
03
Material Selection
You pick shingle line and color. We bring physical samples. For HOA-restricted neighborhoods, we handle the architectural approval paperwork.
04
Insurance Coordination (if applicable)
If a claim is in play, we coordinate with your adjuster. We can attend the inspection, supplement the scope where the adjuster missed items, and submit ACV-to-RCV depreciation paperwork.
05
Tear-Off and Install
Crew arrives between 7 and 7:30 AM. Old roof tears off in a single day for most homes. Decking inspected and replaced as needed. Underlayment, drip edge, valley flashing, then shingle field. Most jobs done in 2 to 3 days.
06
Final Walk-Through and Warranty
Project manager walks the roof and the yard with you. Magnetic nail sweep documented. Manufacturer warranty registered. Workmanship warranty in writing.
What You Get From Bert Specifically
The Reason Manufacturer Warranties Are Worth Something Here
Manufacturer warranties are most valuable when the roof is installed to the manufacturer's specifications and by a contractor who qualifies for the warranty level being offered. Bert Roofing is a GAF Certified Contractor, Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator, and VELUX Certified Installer. Those credentials can provide access to enhanced warranty options on qualifying roofing systems, including broader coverage for materials, accessories, and in some cases labor.
More important than the credentials is longevity. Bert Roofing has served Dallas since 1988, and the same family still owns the company. If a workmanship or warranty issue comes up years from now, you have an established Dallas contractor to call, not just a manufacturer warranty and a company that may no longer be around.

Roof Replacement Questions, Answered Honestly
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most asphalt-shingle roof replacements are completed in one day once work begins. Larger homes, steep or complex roofs, significant decking replacement, and weather can extend the job to two or more days. Specialty systems such as synthetic slate, stone-coated steel, and standing seam metal generally take longer. If insurance is involved, carrier scheduling can affect the timeline before construction begins.
What shingles do you install?
We install architectural asphalt shingles, including Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant options from GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. We also install synthetic slate, stone-coated steel, standing seam metal, historic cedar shakes and shingles, TPO, and modified bitumen for low-slope areas. We match the roofing system to the home, roof slope, and project requirements.
Do you tear off the old roof or install over it?
We tear off the existing roof in almost every residential replacement. Removing the old shingles lets us inspect the decking, correct hidden damage, and install the new roofing system on a clean deck. On some commercial and low-slope roofs, installing a new system over one existing roof can be appropriate when code, deck condition, and manufacturer requirements allow. We evaluate those situations separately rather than applying one rule to every roof.
Will my insurance cover a hail-damaged roof replacement?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of loss. Hail damage is commonly covered under Texas homeowners policies, subject to your deductible, exclusions, depreciation terms, and the insurance company's coverage decision. Bert Roofing can document the roof condition, provide a written estimate, and meet with the insurance company's adjuster when appropriate. We do not act as your adjuster or determine coverage.
What warranty do I get?
You receive the manufacturer's applicable material warranty plus Bert Roofing's 5-year workmanship warranty. Depending on the product and roofing system selected, enhanced manufacturer warranty options may also be available. Bert Roofing is a GAF Certified Contractor, Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator, and VELUX Certified Installer. We explain the warranty coverage that applies to your selected roofing system before installation.
What happens to my landscaping during a roof tear-off?
We protect landscaping, garden beds, windows, siding, and AC equipment before tear-off begins. Debris is controlled as the roof comes off, and we use magnetic nail sweeps and a thorough cleanup around the property. If accidental damage occurs, we address it.
Tell us about your roof. A Bert Roofing project manager will call to discuss the project and schedule an inspection and written estimate. No obligation.
