Roofing in Dallas, TX: Repair, Replacement & Storm Damage

Roof repair in Dallas, TX. Dallas roofs run from 1920s Tudors to 1980s two-stories, and most of them are new on top: the 2023 and 2024 hail and the 2025 wind put replacement roofs on block after block, so the question today is usually whether a young roof was installed right, not whether an old one has worn out. Rainy Day Restoration and Roofing handles the full range of roofing work in Dallas, from a single repair to a full replacement, and we have been doing it across North Texas since 1999.

Because we are also a full water, mold, and reconstruction company, we see every week what a neglected roof leak does to the inside of a house. That gives us a bias toward fixing the roof correctly the first time — and the ability to handle the aftermath if a leak already got in, as it did on a Dallas attic leak job where the water came through the ceiling into the rooms below.

Roofing services we provide in Dallas

Whatever your roof needs, we cover it:

How our roofing process works

1. Free inspection. We climb the roof, document damage with photos, and give you a straight answer on whether it's a repair or a replacement.
2. Insurance help. For storm and hail claims, we meet your adjuster, provide the documentation, and advocate for the full, correct scope of work.
3. Clear proposal. Materials, timeline, and price up front — including options like Class 4 impact-resistant shingles that can lower future risk and sometimes insurance premiums.
4. Installation. Professional tear-off and installation by our crew, with the property protected and cleaned up daily.
5. Final walk-through. We confirm the job is right, clean the site (including magnetic nail sweep), and stand behind the work.

Storm & hail insurance claims — we make it easier

Most roof replacements in Dallas are storm or hail claims, and homeowners often leave money — and needed work — on the table because the paperwork is intimidating. We document the damage thoroughly, meet your adjuster on-site, and make sure the approved scope actually covers what your roof needs. You get a properly restored roof, not a patch.

Why one company for the whole job

Roof repair and replacement for Dallas homes

Dallas is the largest and oldest market we serve, and the housing runs from 1920s Tudors and bungalows in Lakewood, the M Streets and Kessler Park, through 1950s to 1970s ranches in Lake Highlands, Casa Linda and Preston Hollow, to the 1970s and 1980s two-story homes of Far North Dallas and the larger properties off Preston Road and around White Rock Lake. Older means more to watch: pier-and-beam crawlspaces that stay damp, cast-iron drain lines under slabs that have reached the end of their life, galvanized and original copper supply lines inside walls, and roofs with dormers, valleys and chimneys where leaks start. Most of those roofs were replaced after the 2023 and 2024 hail, so the usual find today is a young roof on an older house.

We work on all of it across Dallas, and Dallas County catches the same hail and straight-line wind as the rest of North Texas. Whether you are in a Lakewood Tudor, a Lake Highlands ranch or a two-story off Hillcrest north of LBJ, we can trace a problem to its source and handle the repair, the drying, and the rebuild — one company for the whole job.

What Dallas roofs are up against

Dallas roofs come in every era and every material we work with: 1920s Tudors in Lakewood and the M Streets with steep pitches, dormers and multiple valleys; low-slope 1950s and 1960s ranches in Lake Highlands and Preston Hollow with long runs and wide flashing details; big 1970s and 1980s two-story roofs in Far North Dallas; and tile, slate and standing-seam metal in the larger homes off Preston Road and around White Rock Lake. Each one leaks differently, and each one takes hail differently.

The houses are old, but the roofs mostly are not. The June 2023 storms, the May 28, 2024 derecho with 75 mph winds, the March 4, 2025 wind event and the March 25, 2025 hail put new roofs on most of the blocks we work in, and the roof we are inspecting today is usually a young roof on an older house. That brings its own problems: storm-rush installs with under-nailed shingles, reused or unsealed flashing at chimneys and dormers, pipe boots that were never sealed, and attic ventilation that was never corrected. Crews that came in behind a storm are gone by the next season, and the warranty has nobody to call. The roofs that were never replaced are the outliers, and they are the ones most at risk.

Insurance is tracking this. Carriers now know the age of a Dallas roof, and a recently replaced roof usually keeps replacement-cost coverage while an older one is moved to actual-cash-value terms. That changes what a claim pays, so we photograph and document the roof condition on every inspection, whether or not you file.

We are based in Anna, about 45 miles up US-75, and we have worked Dallas roofs every week for years. After a storm we inspect first and talk second: if the roof only needs a repair, that is what we quote.

Why Dallas homeowners call Rainy Day

Dallas roofing — frequently asked questions

Do I need a roof repair or a full replacement?

It depends on the age of the roof and how widespread the damage is. A few damaged shingles or a localized leak is usually a repair; widespread hail bruising or an aging roof near end-of-life is often a replacement. Our free inspection gives you a straight answer either way.

Does insurance cover hail or storm roof damage?

Sudden storm, hail, and wind damage is typically covered by homeowners insurance. We document the damage, meet your adjuster, and help make sure the approved scope covers what the roof actually needs.

What are Class 4 shingles, and are they worth it?

Class 4 shingles are the highest impact-resistance rating and hold up better to hail — which matters a lot in North Texas. They can also qualify you for an insurance premium discount. We often recommend them on replacements.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most residential replacements are completed in one to two days, weather permitting. We protect your property throughout and do a full cleanup, including a magnetic nail sweep.

Can you tarp my roof after a storm tonight?

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency tarping to stop further water intrusion until a permanent repair can be scheduled.

What if the leak already caused damage inside?

We can handle that too — we're a full water, mold, and reconstruction company, so the same team dries the interior, remediates any mold (Texas mold license RCO1416), and rebuilds.

Does the City of Dallas require a permit to replace my roof?

In most cases, yes. The City of Dallas issues building permits for roof replacements through its Building Inspection division, and the work is inspected. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and include the fee in the estimate, so you are not dealing with the City yourself. Small repairs generally do not need one; we tell you which applies before the work starts.

When is hail season in Dallas?

March through June is the main window, with a smaller one in September and October. Since 2021, National Weather Service reports show hail of an inch or larger within about ten miles of central Dallas on 18 separate days, with two-inch hail in April 2021 and again in June and September 2023, and golf-ball hail on March 25, 2025. The full list with dates and sizes is further down this page and updates automatically after every storm.

My house is in a Dallas historic or conservation district. Does that change a roof replacement?

It can. Dallas historic districts such as Swiss Avenue, Munger Place and Winnetka Heights typically require a Certificate of Appropriateness for visible exterior changes, and a change of roofing material often falls under that; a like-for-like replacement is usually the simpler path. Conservation districts have their own rules by district. We have worked in these neighborhoods, we check the requirement before we quote, and we handle the paperwork with you.

Local weather history for Dallas homes

What the weather has actually done to Dallas since 2021, from NOAA and National Weather Service records, updated automatically: hail, damaging wind and tornadoes, and recent temperatures. Hard-freeze history is on our Dallas water damage page.

Hail reports near Dallas

National Weather Service storm reports of 1-inch or larger hail within about 10 miles of Dallas since January 2021: 18 hail days, 6 of them golf-ball size (1.75") or larger. The biggest on record for this stretch is 2.00" on Apr 9, 2021. Sizes shown are the largest report that day; the report point is the NWS locality name, which is sometimes a small community inside or beside the city.

Claim windows: most Texas homeowner policies require a hail claim to be filed within one year of the storm date (some allow two). If your roof has not been inspected since May 23, 2026, that window may still be open, and the inspection is free.

Damaging wind and tornado reports near Dallas

National Weather Service reports of thunderstorm wind at or above the 58 mph severe threshold, and any tornado, within the same radius since 2021. Strongest measured or estimated gust: 78 mph on Mar 4, 2025. 1 tornado on record. Wind damage is easy to miss from the ground: lifted or creased shingles, torn ridge caps, and flashing pulled loose at the edges show up as leaks months later. Wind claims fall under the same one-year filing window as hail.

Recent temperatures near Dallas

Daily highs and lows for the last two weeks at Dallas Love Field, the closest official NOAA station. So far in 2026: hottest 109 °F on Jul 22, 2026, coldest 13 °F on Jan 25, 2026, 34 days at or above 100 and 12 nights at or below freezing. Heat matters for roofs (shingles age fastest above 100 °F and attic ventilation problems show up as blistering); freezes matter for pipes.
