Fort Worth homeowners have been through two rough hail seasons in a row, with apple sized hail in far south Fort Worth in June 2025 and two inch stones in Benbrook in April 2026. If your roof has taken those hits, or simply reached its age, Arrington Roofing handles complete roof replacement in Fort Worth to the same standards we have held across Dallas-Fort Worth since 1983. We are a GAF Master Elite contractor and a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster, and we have finished homes in Fort Worth neighborhoods including Monticello.

Is a Fort Worth Roof Replacement on Your Horizon?

The Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey puts the median year built for Fort Worth homes at 1994. The city runs from historic districts such as Fairmount and Mistletoe Heights to subdivisions built in the last decade, so there is no single answer to how old a Fort Worth roof is. What matters is your roof: the shingles, the decking under them and what the last few storms have done.

The Hail Record Around Fort Worth

NOAA's Storm Events Database shows how often large hail has reached the Fort Worth area recently. On June 1, 2025, apple sized hail was photographed in far south Fort Worth, baseball sized hail fell in Everman and ping pong ball sized hail fell in Kennedale. On March 30, 2025, hail just over an inch fell east of Westover Hills. On April 25, 2026, Benbrook reported hail up to 2.25 inches, River Oaks 1.25 inches, and the National Weather Service measured inch-wide hail at its own Fort Worth office.

Wind has played its part as well. After the March 4, 2025 storm line, the City of Fort Worth answered 40 requests for fallen trees, and on October 24, 2025, gusts near 70 mph uprooted trees along Campus Drive and I-20.

After a Storm, Start With an Inspection

Hail damage rarely announces itself from the driveway, and bruised shingles can look fine for months before they leak. A free inspection tells you whether the roof needs a few targeted fixes, whether the damage supports a hail damage replacement, or whether it came through fine.

If repairs make sense, we say so and include them in the plan. If the roof is past repair, the report shows why, slope by slope, with photos you can keep.

Why the Inspection Report Matters More in Fort Worth

Because the city does not permit or inspect shingle-only reroofs, the paperwork from your contractor may be the only record of how your roof was built. Our inspection report documents the condition of every slope, the attic and the decking we can see from below before any work is priced. On a replacement, that record lets you compare what was found with what was installed, and it gives the next buyer of your home something concrete to look at.

Choosing the Right Roof for a Fort Worth Home

For many Fort Worth homes the natural replacement is architectural asphalt shingles, and a Class 4 impact-resistant shingle is worth pricing alongside a standard one given the hail record above. Ask your insurance agent whether your policy carries a credit for impact-resistant roofing before you choose, because the amount varies by company.

Standing seam metal, synthetic slate and synthetic shake suit some Fort Worth homes, particularly where the architecture or the owner's long-term plans point beyond asphalt. We bring samples to the roof and talk through weight, look and maintenance before you decide.

Our Work in Fort Worth

Two recent Fort Worth homes show the kind of work we do here. The Monticello Project was a full asphalt roof installation on a home in the Monticello neighborhood, and the Hathaway Project was a complete asphalt roof on a Fort Worth home built to handle summer heat and the occasional hailstorm. Both pages include photos of the finished roof.

Older Homes and Historic Districts

Fort Worth's older neighborhoods bring their own questions. Homes from the early twentieth century were often built with board decking rather than plywood or OSB sheathing, and boards with wide gaps or rot may need sheathing added or replaced before a modern shingle can be installed to the manufacturer's instructions. In Fort Worth, that decking work is what triggers a building permit.

If the home sits in one of the city's historic districts, the roof also needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before that permit can be issued. Choosing a material and color early, and getting it approved, keeps the project from stalling between tear-off and dry-in. We can provide the product details and color samples the preservation staff will want to see.

Does a Fort Worth Reroof Need a Permit?

Fort Worth handles reroofing differently from most of its neighbors, and the difference matters for homeowners:

• Shingle work on a single-family home does not require a permit, according to the city, though the city does limit how many shingle layers a roof may carry.

• Replacing any decking, sheathing, lathing, rafters or ridge boards does require a building permit, and decking cannot be laid over existing decking.

• Underlayment must meet the manufacturer's instructions or the 2021 International Residential Code, whichever is stricter.

• Crickets and drip edge must be added at reroof time if the roof does not already have them.

Because a shingle-only job may never see a city inspector, the quality of the hidden layers depends entirely on the contractor. Before you sign, ask how the old roof will be removed, what happens if soft decking turns up, and whether you will see photos of the bare deck and new underlayment. If decking has to be replaced, we pull the permit that work requires.

Building New in Fort Worth

If you are building rather than replacing, our new construction roofing team works with builders and homeowners from the framing stage, so the roof system, flashing details and ventilation are planned with the house instead of fitted around it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing in Fort Worth

Does Arrington work in Fort Worth if your office is in Dallas?

Yes. Roof replacement and new construction roofing in Fort Worth are a regular part of our work, and our completed Monticello and Hathaway projects are here in the city. Inspections here are scheduled by appointment, and any repairs found during an inspection or storm assessment are part of the written plan we give you.

Does a roof replacement in a Fort Worth historic district need approval?

Yes. The city lists roofing among the exterior changes that need a Certificate of Appropriateness before a building permit, in districts such as Fairmount, Mistletoe Heights, Elizabeth Boulevard and Chase Court. The city says most cases are approved administratively by staff rather than by the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission.

Can Arrington talk to my insurance adjuster for me?

No. Arrington Roofing does not negotiate insurance claims and does not act as a public insurance adjuster. What we provide is the documentation: a free inspection, a written report with photos and an itemized estimate, which you can share with your insurer however you choose.
