In 2026, replacing a composition shingle roof on a typical Dallas–Fort Worth home commonly costs $9,000 to $18,000, with most single-story homes landing in the middle of that range and larger two-story homes with complex rooflines above it. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles add roughly 10 to 25 percent, and standing-seam metal typically runs $25,000 to $45,000 or more. Material prices rose meaningfully over the past few years, and labor in DFW stays high because hail keeps every crew busy. The number on your quote comes mostly from roof size, pitch, shingle grade, and what's found under the old shingles.
Typical DFW replacement prices by roof type
Architectural composition shingles, the DFW standard: commonly $400 to $650 per square (100 square feet) installed, so $9,000 to $18,000 for the 25 to 35 squares on most homes. Includes tear-off of one layer, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in valleys, drip edge, new pipe boots, ridge vent, and haul-off.
Class 4 impact-resistant shingles: commonly $475 to $750 per square. The premium is often partly offset by Texas insurance discounts and by a better chance of surviving the next hail event.
Standing-seam metal: commonly $900 to $1,600 per square, so $25,000 to $45,000 or more for a typical home. Exposed-fastener metal is less. Tile and slate are specialty work with wide price ranges and are common only in specific neighborhoods.
Add-ons that show up on DFW quotes: second-layer tear-off, decking replacement (priced per sheet), new gutters, skylight replacement, chimney flashing rebuilds, and permit fees.
What moves the price up or down
Size, pitch, and complexity. A steep roof needs more safety equipment and time. Every valley, dormer, hip, and penetration adds labor. Two-story homes cost more to work on than single-story.
What's underneath. Plank decking on older Dallas homes often needs partial replacement or re-sheeting. Rotted areas around old leaks are discovered during tear-off and priced per sheet. Get the per-sheet price in writing before the job starts.
Timing. Spring and early summer after hail are peak season with the longest waits and the least negotiating room. Late fall and winter can bring faster scheduling and sharper pricing.
Insurance. On a covered claim, your out-of-pocket is your deductible, commonly 1 to 2 percent of dwelling coverage on Texas policies, and the insurer's scope sets the price. Upgrades beyond the scope (Class 4, metal, ventilation) are yours to pay.
How to compare roof replacement quotes
Compare the same shingle line and the same scope. Quotes should name the shingle product, underlayment, ventilation, flashing plan, decking price per sheet, permit, and warranty (manufacturer and workmanship). A low number that leaves any of those out isn't lower.
Verify the roofer. Texas doesn't license roofers, so look for a physical DFW address, a certificate of general liability insurance, references from the past year, and ideally voluntary certification through the Roofing Contractors Association of Texas or a manufacturer program.
