Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Arlington
Full Roof Replacement
Arlington’s housing stock demands more than a standard tear-off. On the narrow residential streets of East Arlington, we regularly encounter homes with two or three layers of asphalt shingles installed over original slate or wood shake, sometimes with compromised decking beneath. Our full replacement process starts with a complete tear-off to the decking, structural assessment, and honest guidance on whether your roof needs new plywood, improved ventilation, or ice-and-water shield at the eaves. We handle the steep pitches, multiple valleys, and dormers that are standard on pre-1940 Arlington homes, and we stage materials and ladders to respect zero-setback lot lines and shared driveways.
New Construction Roofing
Whether you’re building on infill lots near downtown Arlington or in newer developments toward the southwest, we install new construction roofing that meets current Tarrant County wind and impact standards. We coordinate with your builder on ventilation design from day one, because Arlington’s position in North Texas storm alley means your roof needs to handle straight-line winds and hail, not just look good at closing. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems with proper ridge venting and starter strips, built to the manufacturer’s spec so your warranty stays intact.
Asphalt Shingle Installation
Three-tab and architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common replacement choice for Arlington’s post-1950 housing stock. We install Owens Corning Duration and GAF Timberline HDZ systems with proper nailing patterns for the 60-80 mph wind gusts that roll through Tarrant County each spring. For homeowners in neighborhoods like Interlochen or the areas near Lake Arlington, we specify algae-resistant granules because the tree canopy and humidity promote black streaking on standard shingles.
Architectural Shingle Installation
Architectural shingles, also called dimensional or laminate shingles, add shadow lines and thickness that mimic wood shake or slate without the weight or maintenance. On Arlington’s 1960s-1990s colonials and ranches, they’re the most popular upgrade we install. We typically see full architectural replacements running $10,500-$16,500 for a 2,000-square-foot Arlington home, depending on pitch and access. The dimensional profile also hides minor deck irregularities better than three-tab, which matters on older homes that have settled.
Slate Replacement
This is where Arlington’s housing stock sets us apart from most North Texas roofers. Original slate roofs on Victorian, Craftsman, and gambrel homes in East Arlington and the Historic District are now 80-120 years old. Full natural slate replacement is often cost-prohibitive, so we specialize in period-appropriate synthetic slate from Boral and CertainTeed that replicates the look and carries Class 4 impact ratings, at roughly half the installed weight. We assess whether your original slate can be selectively repaired, whether the decking can handle synthetic slate, and how to detail valleys and turrets so the roofline looks right from the street.
Flat Roofing
Arlington’s triple-decker multi-families and some commercial-adjacent residential buildings include flat or low-slope sections, often EPDM rubber or modified bitumen. We install and replace these systems with proper drainage planning, because standing water on a flat roof in Texas heat accelerates membrane failure. On shared-driveway properties, we coordinate material delivery and waste removal to avoid blocking your neighbor’s access.
Roof Decking Replacement
Once we tear off to the deck, we don’t cover up rot or delamination. Arlington’s older homes, especially those with prior overlays instead of full tear-offs, often have compromised decking at the eaves and valleys. We replace damaged plywood or plank decking with code-compliant OSB or plywood, properly gapped and nailed, so your new roof has a solid foundation. This is non-negotiable on our jobs, and it’s included in our upfront pricing, not sprung as a change order.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Multiple shingle layers over original slate. On pre-1940 homes throughout East Arlington and the Historic District, we regularly find two or three asphalt overlays hiding original slate or wood shake. This adds dead load, traps moisture, and makes decking assessment impossible until tear-off begins. We plan every job assuming we’ll find surprises, and we price accordingly.
- Inadequate attic ventilation causing ice damming and summer heat buildup. Arlington’s older homes were built before modern soffit-to-ridge ventilation standards. Without proper intake and exhaust, attics hit 140°F in July and trap moisture in winter, shortening shingle life and promoting mold. We address ventilation as part of every full replacement, not as an afterthought.
- Steep pitches and complex rooflines creating safety and flashing challenges. An 8/12 or 12/12 pitch with dormers, turrets, and multiple valleys requires proper staging, harness systems, and experienced crews. We’ve seen cut corners on step flashing and valley metal from crews rushing steep jobs. We don’t rush.
- Zero-setback lots and shared driveways limiting material storage and ladder placement. On dense streets like those in East Arlington (02474), we coordinate deliveries to minimize street parking, protect shared fences, and maintain neighbor access. Poor planning here causes delays and disputes; we plan it from the first site visit.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Arlington
Yes, if your home was built before 1940, there’s a strong chance you have asphalt shingles installed over original slate or wood shake. This is common in East Arlington and the Historic District. The added weight stresses your framing, trapped moisture accelerates decay, and you can’t assess decking condition until everything comes off. We plan every pre-1940 Arlington job for a full tear-off to the decking, and we price for the labor and disposal that multiple layers require. Call (844) 563-1816 and we’ll inspect with a camera so you see exactly what’s up there.
Period-appropriate synthetic slate from Boral or CertainTeed is usually the best balance of aesthetics, weight, and durability for Arlington’s steep-pitch Victorians. Natural slate is beautiful but heavy and expensive; standard asphalt looks wrong on a turret or gambrel. Synthetic slate gives you Class 4 impact resistance at roughly half the weight of natural slate, and the dimensional profile reads correctly from the street. We installed Boral synthetic slate on a 1905 Lake Street Victorian with multiple valleys and a turret, matching the original roofline while upgrading the underlayment and ventilation. Call for a sample viewing.
Ice dams in Arlington are a ventilation and insulation problem disguised as a roofing problem. We address them by installing proper soffit intake vents, ridge exhaust vents, and ice-and-water shield membrane at the eaves, plus assessing whether your attic floor insulation is blocking airflow. On pre-1940 homes with original knee walls or balloon framing, this takes expertise. We’ve made ice-dam prevention a standard part of full replacement on Arlington’s older housing stock, because callbacks for interior water damage help nobody. Call (844) 563-1816 to discuss your specific roof geometry.
Yes, we work on zero-setback lots and shared driveways throughout East Arlington (02474) and similar dense neighborhoods. We coordinate material delivery timing, use compact equipment where needed, and stage to maintain your neighbor’s access. On one Lake Street job, we replaced a Victorian’s slate and installed EPDM on an adjacent triple-decker in a single crew day, negotiating tight clearance and a shared fence line. We photograph and document staging plans before work begins so there’s no confusion. Call to schedule a site assessment.
Yes, we handle partial flat-roof replacements on Arlington multi-families, including triple-deckers with mixed roof types. We assess whether the flat section ties into a sloped shingle or slate roof, detail the transition flashing properly, and ensure drainage is adequate. EPDM replacement on a typical triple-decker flat section runs $4,500-$8,500 depending on size and access. We can often coordinate this work alongside sloped-roof repairs on the same property to minimize disruption. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free estimate.
