Commercial Synthetic Roofing in Dallas–Fort Worth

What Makes Synthetic Roofing Different from Traditional Commercial Systems?

Traditional commercial roofing materials — asphalt shingles, modified bitumen, single-ply membranes — all degrade under repeated hail impact. Granules shed, membranes puncture, seams fail. Each storm chips away at the system's integrity, even when damage isn't immediately visible.

Synthetic roofing shingles are manufactured from commercial-grade engineered polymers using a single-piece compression molding process. There are no granules to lose, no layers to delaminate, no asphalt to dry out and crack. The material itself is the weathering surface.

The performance specs reflect that engineering:

• Class 4 Impact Resistance — the highest rating under the UL 2218 standard, tested against a 2-inch steel ball dropped from 20 feet, twice on the same spot, with no cracking or fracturing.

• 130 mph Wind Rating — exceeds the wind speeds recorded in the vast majority of DFW severe weather events.

• Class A Fire Rating — the highest fire resistance classification available for roofing materials.

• 50-Year Expected Lifespan — compared to 15 to 25 years for asphalt and 20 to 30 years for most single-ply systems in North Texas conditions.

Synthetic Systems We Install

We install F-Wave REVIA synthetic shingles — manufactured right here in Texas. F-Wave developed REVIA using proprietary ZFT (zero-failure technology) and commercial-grade polymer engineering specifically designed for severe weather environments.

What sets REVIA apart:

The polymer is the shingle — not a coating applied over another material. This means zero granule loss, zero delamination, and consistent impact resistance across the full lifespan of the product.

F-Wave backs REVIA with a 5-year hail guarantee covering damage from hailstones up to 2 inches, including both materials and labor. No asphalt shingle manufacturer offers a comparable hail-specific warranty. The system also carries a 50-year WeatherForce Advantage Warranty with 15 years non-prorated coverage.

Available profiles for commercial applications:

• Designer Slate Series — natural slate appearance with Class 4 protection across multiple color blends. Appropriate for office buildings, retail, multifamily, and mixed-use properties where curb appeal matters.

• Hand-Split Shake Series — cedar shake aesthetic with Class A fire rating and no susceptibility to rot, termites, or moisture damage. Well-suited for hospitality, senior living, and HOA-managed commercial properties.

• Both profiles install using standard roofing practices, keeping labor costs controlled while delivering performance that traditional materials cannot match.

Why Are DFW Commercial Properties Switching to Synthetic?

The risk landscape has shifted dramatically. Texas experienced 878 major hail events in 2024, according to industry data from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety. In recent years, severe storms in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have caused billions in insured losses, with hail accounting for the vast majority of damage, according to multiple industry sources including the Texas Casualty Insurance Association.

Commercial properties face disproportionate exposure. Larger roof footprints mean more surface area vulnerable during every storm. Wind and hail deductibles on commercial policies typically range from 1 to 5 percent of total insured value — on a $2 million building, that translates to $20,000 to $100,000 out of pocket per claim. Multiple claims can trigger premium increases or policy non-renewal. Data from the Texas Department of Insurance showed non-renewal complaints more than doubled in 2024 compared to prior years.

Synthetic roofing addresses risk at its source. Rather than repeatedly repairing or replacing after major storms, commercial property owners can install roofing engineered to withstand severe weather events.

How Much Can a Synthetic Roof Save on Commercial Insurance?

Texas mandated insurance discounts for impact-resistant roofing in 1998 — the first state in the country to do so. Under Texas Department of Insurance guidelines, a Class 4 rated roof in hail-heavy areas of Dallas–Fort Worth qualifies for premium reductions typically ranging from 15 to 35 percent annually, depending on insurer, policy structure, and county hail history.

On a commercial property, those percentages translate to significant dollar amounts. A property owner paying $50,000 annually in premiums could see savings of $7,500 to $17,500 per year. Over the 50-year lifespan of a synthetic roof, the cumulative insurance savings alone can exceed the total cost of the roofing investment.

Beyond premium discounts, there's a compounding benefit: fewer claims filed means a cleaner loss history. A cleaner loss history means better renewal terms, lower deductibles, and reduced risk of carrier non-renewal — a growing concern for commercial property owners across North Texas.

Your contractor must complete TDI form PC068 (Impact-Resistant Roofing Installation Form) to document the product's UL 2218 classification for your carrier. Arrington handles this documentation as part of every commercial installation.

How Do I Finance a Commercial Synthetic Roof?

The upfront cost of synthetic roofing is higher than asphalt — typically about double for materials. For commercial property owners managing capital expenditure budgets, that difference matters.

Arrington Roofing works with commercial clients as a roofing company that offers financing for commercial projects. Our financing structures allow you to spread the investment across a timeline that aligns with your cash flow, so you can start capturing insurance savings and eliminating storm-related expenses immediately rather than deferring the decision until the next hailstorm forces it.

For properties with existing hail or wind damage, insurance claim proceeds can be applied toward the cost of a synthetic upgrade — often covering a substantial portion of the total project. Arrington's team manages the documentation and coordination between your carrier and the installation to keep the process efficient.
