Architectural shingles
The standard choice for a re-roof. Layered construction gives a thicker look and better wind resistance than three-tab shingles.

Residential roofing in Garland: shingles first, with options
Most houses in Garland have asphalt shingle roofs, and most residential roofing calls are about them: a repair after a storm, a leak that will not go away, or a roof that has reached the age where replacement makes more sense than another patch.
Shingles come in a few tiers. Three-tab shingles are the older, flat style and are now mostly seen on roofs due for replacement. Architectural shingles are thicker, layered, and the usual choice today. Impact-resistant shingles, rated Class 4, are built to take hail and can earn a premium discount with some Texas insurers.
Shingles are not the only option. Homeowners who plan to stay put often ask about Garland metal roofing, and a Garland standing seam roof is the higher-end version with concealed fasteners. Both cost more up front and usually last longer.
We are a referral service. Instead of calling several roofing companies in Garland TX one by one, you make one call, enter your ZIP code, and are connected with an independent local contractor who works on homes like yours.
Impact-resistant shingles
Class 4 shingles are tested against larger hail. They cost more, and many homeowners in hail country consider them for the durability and possible insurance savings.
Three-tab shingles
Still found on older Garland roofs. They can be repaired, though matching color and size on an aging roof is not always possible.
Metal roofing
Screw-down panels or standing seam. Sheds hail and heat well and lasts decades when the trim and flashing are done properly.
Underlayment, flashing, and ventilation
The parts you do not see decide how long the roof lasts. Ask what underlayment is used and whether attic ventilation is being checked.

How Much Does a New Roof Cost?
For a typical Dallas-Fort Worth home, three-tab shingles run about $8,000 to $11,000, architectural shingles about $10,000 to $14,000, and standing seam metal $18,000 to $30,000 or more.
Upgrading to impact-resistant Class 4 shingles adds roughly $1,500 to $3,000, which some insurers offset with a premium discount. These are typical ranges from published cost guides, including Angi and RoofVista, not quotes. Prices in the Dallas area tend to run toward the higher end, and the contractor you speak with sets the price after seeing the roof.
Homeowner Questions
Residential roofing FAQs
How long does an asphalt shingle roof last in Garland?
Many last somewhere around 15 to 25 years in North Texas, depending on the shingle, the ventilation, and how many hailstorms the roof has been through. Heat and hail shorten the figures printed on the wrapper.
Are impact-resistant shingles worth it?
For many Garland homeowners, yes. They hold up better to hail, and some insurers discount premiums for a Class 4 roof. Ask your agent what discount applies and whether the policy has cosmetic-damage exclusions.
Can new shingles go over the old ones?
Sometimes, where the code and the roof's condition allow it, but a tear-off lets the contractor inspect and fix the decking. Most replacements in this area are full tear-offs.
How long does a residential re-roof take?
A typical single-family shingle roof is often done in one to three days once materials are on site, weather permitting. The contractor will give you a schedule for your house.
What should I ask a roofing contractor?
Ask about insurance, who pulls the permit, what underlayment and flashing they use, how they protect landscaping, and what warranty covers labor as well as materials.
Do you install the roof?
No. We are a referral service. We connect you by phone with an independent local roofing contractor, and you hire and pay that contractor directly.
