Dallas, TX Roofing Prices: Shingle, Metal and Flat Roofs (2027)
Reprice this page for your own roof in Dallas, TX
A roof's pitch is its rise in inches over twelve inches of run. Steeper roofs like 9/12 need roof jacks and harness work, so they cost more. We assume 5/12 for Texas; pick yours above.
A full asphalt shingle replacement in Dallas, TX comes to roughly $10,500 to $16,010 for 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.
Roofers bid by the square, which is a hundred square feet of roof; here the installed rate works out to $522.03 a square. The same roof in architectural 50-year shingles is $11,670 to $17,790. Metal begins with steel shingles at roughly $22,590.
That is about $590 above the statewide figure of $10,020 to $15,280, a typical Dallas premium for labor, permits and insurance. Every one of the 102 Dallas ZIP codes in Dallas, Collin, Tarrant and Denton counties uses the prices on this page.

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.
Service lives follow the climate-bell model above (asphalt peaks in moderate regions; metal assumes correct installation); prices are the Dallas, TX estimates above.
The Line Items Behind a Dallas, TX Roofing Bid
Before you rank quotes by price, check that they cover the same work. Our model values each variable on the 24.5-square roof like this:
- Strip and haul. Expect roughly $3,070 of the bid for one layer off. Each extra layer underneath raises it again, by about $1,990 for the second.
- Geometry. Four-sided hip roofs run about $1,270 above a gable; heavily cut-up roofs with dormers sit about $2,140 above it.
- Access. Raise this roof a story and expect about $910 on top of the price, for staging, hauling and slower work.
- Openings. Plan near $320 per skylight that gets replaced or added while the roof is open.
- Roof deck. Ask every bidder for a per-sheet plywood or OSB price. It turns the biggest unknown on the job into a known number.
- Metal details. Drip edge, step flashing and vent boots are cheap to replace during a re-roof; make sure each quote says whether they are new or reused. For gutters, see the gutter cost calculator.
- Town fees. Building permits and container rental are local costs; check whether each bid includes them.

Roof size and pitch stay fixed (2,452 sq. ft., 5/12); only the scope changes. Skylights, gutters and rotten decking are not included.
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.
Roof Stressors in Texas
A roof in Texas lives in Climate Region 5: about 96°F on a typical summer afternoon, about 60°F on a winter afternoon, and about 35°F on a winter night. Below are the stresses that matter most for a Texas roof, and what to ask for because of them.
Hail. Hail is a leading cause of roof claims in Texas. Get one bid on impact-rated shingles, then compare the extra cost with any premium credit your insurer offers.
Sun and heat. Strong sun dries out asphalt and a hot attic bakes shingles from below. Balanced intake and ridge ventilation and a lighter, reflective color both extend roof life.
Home insurers in Texas often review roof age at renewal. Save the permit, invoice and product details from the re-roof.
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.
low pitch holds snow and ice - it costs the most years in cold regions
Planning figures from our climate model, for ventilation-correct installs - a baked, unvented attic can take years off any column. Pitch adjusts the asphalt columns only; metal sheds snow at any sane pitch.

Pricing a Metal Roof in Dallas, 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 Dallas, TX.
- Standing seam: $30,110 to $45,900. Long panels run from ridge to eave and lock together at raised seams, with the clips hidden underneath. No screws go through the face, so there are far fewer places for a leak to start. On this roof it runs about $22,500 more than architectural shingles.
- Steel shingles: $22,590 to $34,440. Aluminum shingles: $24,980 to $38,080. Small metal panels with a shingle or tile profile. They go on much like shingles, so hips and dormers are easier than with long panels. Pick aluminum near the ocean and steel inland.
- Stone-coated steel: $30,750 to $46,870. Steel tiles with a coat of stone granules. They are quiet in the rain, hard to dent, and look like tile or shake from the street.
- 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.
In Texas heat, choose steel, aluminum or standing seam with a light, reflective "cool roof" finish. It sends sunlight back instead of storing it, so the attic stays cooler and the panels outlast shingles. Copper is the exception: it darkens with age and soaks up heat.
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. Metal pays off for long-term owners. If a move is likely within a few years, architectural shingles usually give better value. Want a firmer metal number? Try the metal roof calculator with your measurements.
Scheduling Your Dallas, TX Roof Job
Summer highs near 96°F make midsummer hard on crews and on soft shingles, which scuff underfoot. Fall through spring is the better window, with winter highs near 60°F.
Storm chasers follow hail and wind. Hire a roofer with a local office and proof of insurance, and never sign over insurance proceeds on the spot.
Dallas, TX Flat Roof Replacement Cost
Membrane roofing covers what shingles cannot: flat porches, garages, additions and row-house tops. On a 2,170 sq. ft. footprint:
- EPDM rubber: $15,510 to $20,150. Synthetic rubber, usually black, laid in wide sheets with glued or taped seams. It shrugs off hail and hard frost and is easy to patch, so it suits garages, porches and roofs nobody sees.
- TPO, 60-mil: $13,350 to $17,340. 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: $16,140 to $20,970. PVC is the one to pay up for when the roof works hard: a deck with chairs on it, a grill, a corner that never quite dries. Its welded seams and chemical resistance outlast the cheaper sheets there.
From cheapest to most expensive here: TPO, then EPDM, then PVC. These figures assume polyiso insulation and one layer removed. Small roofs carry a premium because setup is the same for any size. For thicker insulation or a different membrane, use the flat roof calculator.
Black EPDM soaks up the sun on a 96°F afternoon. White TPO or PVC sends it back. The roof stays cooler, the membrane lasts longer, and the heat-welded seams give water fewer ways in.

Roof Replacement FAQ: Dallas, TX
How many days will my roof replacement take?
Plan on a few days at most for an asphalt roof around 2,452 sq. ft. Complex shapes, a second layer or bad weather can stretch it.
Can I file an insurance claim for a new roof?
Covered: hail, wind, fallen trees. Not covered: age and wear. With asphalt at $10,500 to $16,010 in Dallas, TX, it pays to read your roof settlement terms now, not after a storm. In Texas, also check the wind and hail deductible - many policies set it as a percentage of the home's insured value.
How do I estimate my roof size?
A square is a hundred square feet of roof surface. For this 2,170 sq. ft. footprint at a 5/12 pitch, figure about 24.5 squares (2,452 sq. ft.). Use the same number when you compare bids.
Should my roofer get a permit in Texas?
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.

Quick Answers
Answers use Texas averages; energy prices updated October 2026.
What time of year is best for a new roof in Texas?
Fall to spring. At about 96°F on a typical summer afternoon, shingles in Texas turn soft and mark easily, while winter highs around 60°F make the off-season comfortable for roofing.
Does a new roof in Texas need an ice barrier membrane?
Ice is seldom the issue - winter lows in Texas average about 35°F. Membrane in valleys and around roof openings still helps against storm-driven rain.
Does metal roofing make sense in Texas?
If you plan to stay, frequently yes. Around 96°F on summer afternoons, roofs in Texas bake - a light metal finish reflects that heat and outlasts shingles.
Will a lighter roof lower cooling costs in Texas?
Yes. Summers near 96°F and electricity at 19.9¢ per kWh in Texas make a reflective roof pay off through lower attic heat and shorter AC run times.
Can new shingles go on top of the old roof?
Sometimes, if only one layer is on now and local code allows a second. A full tear-off costs more but exposes the deck, so rotted boards get replaced rather than buried.
