Shingle Roofing

Asphalt Shingle Roofingin Arlington, TX

Most Arlington homes have shingles, and many have already had them replaced after hail. When yours are due, we help you choose between standard and impact-resistant shingles and install them to Arlington's re-roof code.

Shingle Roofs What Matters on an Arlington Shingle Roof

Details that decide how long your shingles last.

New underlayment, every time

Arlington requires underlayment to be replaced when shingles are. We would do it anyway.

Slope limits

No shingles under 2:12, and double underlayment from 2:12 to 4:12. Common on south Arlington additions.

Impact rating

Class 4 shingles resist hail better and may earn a Texas insurance discount.

Ventilation

Balanced attic venting keeps Arlington summer heat from aging shingles early.

Proper nailing

Correct nail placement keeps tabs sealed when storm gusts hit.

Flashing rebuilt

Flashing at walls, chimneys and vents rebuilt to the manufacturer's instructions.

Choosing Shingles Architectural or Impact-Resistant?

Both are popular in Arlington.

Architectural

  • Dimensional look, solid wind rating.
  • Lower upfront cost.
  • Common hail-claim replacement.
  • Wide color range.

Class 4 impact-resistant

  • Rated for hail impact (UL 2218 Class 4).
  • May qualify for a Texas insurance discount.
  • Higher upfront cost.
  • Popular after repeat claims.
Arlington's final inspection: the inspector verifies the new roof did not cover more than one old layer, that vents and gas flues were not covered, and that flashing and edge metal were replaced as needed. We schedule it and are ready for it.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing in Arlington Frequently Asked Questions
How long do shingles last in Arlington?

Often around 15 to 25 years, depending on ventilation, color and hail. In Arlington, hail usually decides the roof's lifespan.

Are Class 4 shingles worth the extra cost?

If you have had hail claims, they often are. Ask your insurer about a discount and compare it to the price difference.

Can you shingle over my existing roof?

Arlington allows covering only one existing layer in limited cases. We recommend tearing off so the decking can be checked.

Do you handle the permit?

Yes. We file the City of Arlington permit online, post it at your house and schedule the final inspection.

What color works best?

Lighter colors absorb less heat. If you are in an HOA, start with their approved list.
