Arlington sits a short drive east of our Forest Hill shop along I-20, and it is one of the busiest hail markets in DFW. We inspect, file the City of Arlington re-roof permit, and replace or repair roofs from north Arlington's older brick homes to Viridian's newer builds.
Arlington grew fast, and you can read that growth on its roofs. North Arlington has the city's most established streets: mid-century brick homes, mature trees and roofs that have usually been replaced two or three times. The streets around UT Arlington and the Entertainment District mix older homes, rentals and small commercial buildings.
South Arlington was built out mostly in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, with neighborhood after neighborhood of production homes. Many of those are now on their second roof, and plenty went straight from 3-tab to architectural shingles after a hail claim. Up north, Viridian has been building since 2008 under HOA guidelines on roof color and material.
Inside Arlington's borders are two separate towns, Pantego and Dalworthington Gardens. They have their own city halls and their own permit rules, so the first thing we confirm on an Arlington-area job is which city the address is actually in.
In June 2023, storm reports put hail up to baseball size in Arlington, and golf-ball hail was reported again in April 2024. Hail drives most Arlington replacements, but heat and wind do steady damage between storms.
Arlington sits in the middle of DFW's hail corridor. Many homes here have had more than one hail claim, and each storm leaves bruised shingles and dented vents that are hard to see from the ground.
Open stretches of south and east Arlington take straight-line gusts that unseal shingle tabs. Ridge caps and the edges of the roof usually go first.
Summer heat ages shingles fastest on poorly vented attics, and many 1980s and 1990s homes have long, low-pitch sections that shed heat and water slowly.
Mature trees shade roofs and fill gutters. In ice storms and high wind, limbs come down on roofs and pull gutters off the fascia.

Yes. Both are separate towns surrounded by Arlington, with their own permit offices and rules. We check which city your address is in and follow its process.
Arlington does allow covering one existing layer in limited cases, but never more than one, and the old roof has to be in good enough shape. We almost always recommend a full tear-off so the decking can be checked.
Our shop is in Forest Hill, a short drive west on I-20, so we can usually inspect quickly and tarp if needed to stop further leaks.
It depends on size, pitch, material and decking repairs. Our roof cost calculator gives you a ballpark, and the free inspection gets you a written number.
