In the Dallas–Fort Worth area, a full residential roof replacement typically costs $8,000–$18,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and material. Asphalt shingle roofs run lower; metal roofing runs higher. If your roof has insurance-covered storm damage, Benchmark handles the claim and most homeowners pay only their deductible.

A typical residential roof replacement by Benchmark Roofing takes 1–2 days for most homes. Larger or more complex roofs, like a steep pitch, multiple penetrations, or a commercial flat roof, may take 2–4 days. We schedule around your availability and clean up completely before we leave.

In Texas, asphalt shingles remain the most affordable option ($10,000–$14,000 for a typical home) and hold up well to DFW heat and hail. Metal roofing costs more upfront ($18,000–$30,000+) but lasts 40–70 years and may qualify for homeowner's insurance discounts in hail-prone areas. Benchmark installs both systems and helps you weigh the long-term ROI based on your home and budget.

In Texas, a standard 3-tab asphalt shingle roof lasts 15–20 years, while architectural shingles last 25–30 years. Metal roofing can last 40–70 years. DFW's heat, UV exposure, and frequent hail events shorten lifespan compared to cooler climates. If your roof is 15+ years old, Benchmark recommends a free inspection to assess remaining life before the next storm season.

Yes. Benchmark Roofing partners with financing providers to offer payment options for homeowners who need a new roof and want to spread the cost.

Benchmark acts as your insurance liaison. We document the damage, communicate with your adjuster, and manage the claim process. Most of the time, your deductible is the maximum out-of-pocket expense.

Signs your roof has hail damage include dented or bruised asphalt shingles with granule loss, cracked shingles, dents on metal gutters and downspouts, damaged ridge caps, and granules collecting in gutters or at downspout exits. A professional inspection is the only reliable way to assess storm damage. Benchmark offers free inspections throughout the DFW area. Call (972) 231-0794.

A new roof can lower homeowner's insurance premiums in Texas, especially if you upgrade to impact-resistant Class 4 shingles rated for hail. Many Texas insurers offer discounts of 10–30% for Class 4 roofing. Benchmark recommends impact-resistant options and provides the documentation your insurer needs to apply the discount.

Yes, you can still file a storm damage claim on an older roof, though coverage depends on your policy type. Actual Cash Value (ACV) policies factor in depreciation, so an older roof receives a smaller payout. Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies cover the full replacement regardless of age. Benchmark's team reviews your policy details and advises you on the best path before filing.

Yes. Benchmark Roofing provides emergency tarping after severe storms, hail events, or wind damage that leaves your roof exposed. Emergency tarping protects your home from water intrusion until a permanent repair or replacement can be scheduled. Call (972) 231-0794 for urgent service in the Garland and Dallas area.

Benchmark Roofing provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on every roof replacement. This covers installation defects for five years from the install date: loose flashing, improper nailing, and missing underlayment. It is separate from the manufacturer's material warranty, which covers shingle defects independently. You are protected on both fronts.

Benchmark Roofing installs shingles from leading manufacturers including GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed. All of them offer 25- to 50-year limited material warranties depending on the product line. Some premium lines include transferable lifetime warranties. Ask your Benchmark project manager about manufacturer warranty specifics for your recommended shingle system.
