Pitch drives both the roof area and the labor. Steep pitches (9/12 or more) slow the crew down, and low ones need extra underlayment care. Our Texas starting value is 5/12.

Expect quotes near $10,440 to $15,910 for a standard shingle re-roof in Arlington, TX; that figure assumes a typical 2,170 sq. ft. single-story house. Behind the number: a 5/12 pitch, close to 2,452 sq. ft. of roof surface (24.5 squares), one old layer removed, materials and installation included.

Divide it out and the installed rate is $518.80 per square; a square is the hundred square feet roofers quote by. If you want architectural 50-year shingles instead, plan on $11,600 to $17,680; metal opens at about $22,450 with steel shingles.

Every row is the same Arlington, TX roof with a different surface. The low and high ends mark the usual spread between contractors; the middle column is the number to budget.

Where the numbers come from: the roof replacement calculator for shingles, the metal roof calculator for metal and the flat roof calculator for flat membranes, each set to West South Central pricing - 13% below the U.S. average for shingles and metal.

Price per Year of Roof

The real cost of a roof is price divided by the years it lasts. Hover a bar: metal costs more up front and less per year.

What Pushes a Arlington, TX Roof Quote Up or Down

When two quotes for the same house are far apart, the gap is usually scope. Here is what each common variable is worth on the 24.5-square roof above:

• Tear-off. About $3,050 of the quote pays to strip and dispose of one layer; if the roofer finds two layers, figure another $1,980 or so.
• Roof shape. When every side of the roof slopes down to a gutter (a hip design), add close to $1,260 over a two-sided gable. Plenty of dormers and valleys raise the add-on to about $2,130.
• Access. Raise this roof a story and expect about $910 on top of the price, for staging, hauling and slower work.
• Skylights. Each skylight installed or replaced during the job adds about $310.
• Sheathing repairs. Soft spots in the roof deck show up during tear-off. A per-sheet price in the contract keeps that from becoming an open-ended charge.
• Flashing and ventilation. Reusing old flashing saves a little now and causes leaks later. Gutters are a separate trade line; the gutter cost calculator covers them.
• Permit and disposal. Fees depend on the town. Confirm the bid includes both the permit and the dumpster.

Ask each bidder to fill in the same list: tear-off layers, underlayment, ice barrier, flashing, vents, decking rate, permit. Gaps in that list explain most low bids.

What the Texas Climate Does to Roofing

Texas' winters average highs near 60°F and lows near 35°F; summer highs average about 96°F. On our climate map below, that puts it in Region 5. Those numbers translate into a short list of roof stressors in Texas:

Where Shingles Live Longest: the Climate Bell

Asphalt life peaks in the moderate middle (Region 3) and falls toward BOTH ends of the map above - cold regions destroy shingles with ice dams, hot ones bake them. Note the middle columns: shingles marketed as “lifetime” are good for about 25 real-world years at best - Texas is Region 5. Hover any column.

Metal Roofing Prices in Arlington, TX

Metal roofs come in a few families, and they do different jobs. The prices below are for a typical 2,170 sq. ft. single-story house in Arlington, TX.

• Standing seam: $29,930 to $45,620. Tall ribs, clips under the seams, nothing exposed to rust or work loose. Wide, plain roof planes show it at its best. Here it costs about $22,360 above architectural shingles.
• Steel shingles: $22,450 to $34,220. Aluminum shingles: $24,830 to $37,840. The look of a regular roof with the life of metal. These pieces work on steep or complicated roofs. Steel resists dents; aluminum resists corrosion.
• Stone-coated steel: $30,560 to $46,580. A steel base under a granule finish. You get the tile look at a small part of the weight of real tile.
• Copper: custom quote only. Copper sits above every other metal in price and is bid job by job, so it has no line in our calculator. It is the roof of old churches and city landmarks. On a house it makes the most sense on a small, visible spot or a historic home.

Big hailstones may leave dents in metal that still sheds water perfectly. Check the impact rating, and read how the warranty handles purely cosmetic dents. The case for metal rests on how long you will stay. Keep the house for decades and one metal roof can replace two asphalt roofs; sell soon and the premium rarely comes back. For a particular panel or coating, run the metal roof calculator.

When to Re-Roof in Arlington, TX

Cooler months are roofing season here. Winter afternoons near 60°F are fine for installation, while midsummer heat near 96°F slows everything down.

When storm crews arrive, slow down. Verify insurance, licensing and a local address first, and get the full scope in writing.

Flat and Low-Slope Roof Prices in Arlington, TX

A flat roof the size of this home's 2,170 sq. ft. footprint would run, in Arlington, TX:

• EPDM rubber: $15,420 to $20,020. This is the black rubber sheet on many older flat roofs. Big sheets mean few seams. It stays soft in deep cold and any roofer can patch it, which makes it a good fit for a garage or a back porch.
• TPO, 60-mil: $13,270 to $17,230. A white single-ply sheet whose seams are welded with hot air into one piece. It reflects the sun and now covers most new flat roofs on homes and shops.
• PVC, 60-mil: $16,040 to $20,840. A flexible white sheet with welded seams that has kept flat roofs dry for decades. It handles ponding water and grease better than the other two.

Ranked by price for this home, TPO is cheapest, EPDM is next, and PVC costs the most. These figures assume polyiso insulation and one layer removed. Small roofs carry a premium because setup is the same for any size. Price your exact membrane, insulation thickness and drains with the flat roof calculator.

Common Questions About Re-Roofing in Arlington, TX

Does a re-roof in Texas require a permit?

Often yes. Most local building departments want a permit for a full replacement. The contractor normally handles it - ask to see it before work starts.

How can I check the size a roofer quoted?

Measure the area the roof covers, then scale it up for slope. The 2,170 sq. ft. footprint in this guide, sloped at 5/12, grows to near 2,452 sq. ft. - 24.5 squares once overhang and waste are counted. Ask each roofer for their square count in writing.

How many days will my roof replacement take?

Expect a short job for 24.5 squares of shingles - often a day or two, sometimes more. The crew should tarp or dry-in anything they open before leaving.

Will insurance pay for my new roof?

Insurance covers storm and impact damage, not wear. A worn-out roof is a maintenance cost - here about $10,440 to $15,910 for asphalt. After a storm, take photos and have a roofer look before you open a claim. Many Texas policies use a separate, percentage-based deductible for wind and hail; look it up before storm season.
