Overview · The method
How a Sunshine roof goes on
Eight steps, the same on a 1978 ranch in 75252 as on a 2004 two-story in west Plano. The order matters more than the brand of shingle, and most bad roofs we tear off went wrong at step four.
-
01
Free inspection, on the roof
Someone climbs. Every slope gets walked, every penetration gets looked at, and the attic gets a flashlight if you let us in. Hail bruises are soft spots in the mat. You find them with your hand, not from the driveway.
-
02
Measured in squares
A roof is measured in squares. One square is 100 square feet, and that is the unit every honest quote is written in. We add pitch, waste for hips and valleys, and the number of layers coming off, and we write all of it down.
-
03
Tear-off to the deck
Every shingle, every nail, the old felt and the rusted drip edge come off. Tarps go down over the beds first and the dumpster or trailer sits where you tell us, not on your sprinkler heads.
-
04
Decking, sheet by sheet
We walk the bare deck and press every sheet. If the decking is sound we say so. If two sheets are rotten we show you the two sheets, photograph them, and replace them with 7/16 OSB at the per-sheet price on your quote.
-
05
Drip edge and underlayment
New metal drip edge on every eave and rake. Ice-and-water shield in the valleys and around every pipe, vent and chimney, then synthetic underlayment across the field, lapped and fastened to spec rather than stapled where it lands.
-
06
Shingles on a chalk line
Starter strip at the eaves, then architectural shingles such as Owens Corning Duration or GAF Timberline HDZ, six nails each in the nailing strip. Four nails is what the cheap crews do, and it is what lifts in a March wind.
-
07
Flashing, boots, ridge vent
New step flashing along every wall, counter flashing cut into the mortar on chimneys, new pipe boots on every stack, and ridge vent sized to the soffit intake so the attic actually breathes. No caulk standing in for metal.
-
08
Magnet sweep, photo hand-over
Rolling magnets over the lawn, the drive, the beds and the street. Then you get the photo record: the bare deck, the replaced sheets, the underlayment and flashing before the shingles covered them.
Counts are our own: the review total we hold, the cities we work, and two figures from the method above.
What the price is built from
A written quote lists every line
We don't hand over one number on the back of a card. A replacement quote is written per square after the roof is measured, and it shows you what moves it so you can compare it against anyone else's like for like.
- Roof area
- Measured on the roof in squares of 100 sq ft, plus waste for hips, valleys and cut-ins
- Pitch
- Steeper than 8/12 needs harness lines and roof jacks the whole way, which takes longer
- Layers off
- One layer or two. A second layer doubles the tear-off weight and the dump fees
- Decking
- Priced per sheet of 7/16 OSB, counted on the day and shown to you in photographs
- Penetrations
- Pipe boots, vents, skylights and chimneys each get new flashing, and each is listed
- Shingle line
- Architectural shingle chosen with you; the color does not change the price, the line can
- Inspection
- Free, with the photo set, whether or not you hire us
What we do · Five lines of work
Roof replacement, repair and free roof inspection in Dallas
Steep-slope asphalt on brick-and-frame houses is most of the work. Around it sits everything that keeps water off the wall: flashing, low-slope sections over porches and additions, fascia, soffit and gutters.
-
01
Roof replacement
Full tear-off to the deck, never a layover. Architectural shingles, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys, new drip edge, pipe boots and ridge vent.
Per square (100 sq ft) after measurement; decking listed per sheet
Replacement detail -
02
Hail & storm inspection
Ladder up, every slope walked, bruises checked by hand and chalked, and a photo report you keep. When the damage is there, the photographs become your claim documentation.

03
Leak & flashing repair
Most leaks we chase are not the shingles. They are a cracked pipe boot or a step flashing that was caulked instead of replaced. We find the source, then replace the metal.
Per repair, quoted on site once the source is found
Repair detail -
04
Low-slope roofs
TPO single-ply with heat-welded seams, or modified bitumen, on porch roofs, additions and small commercial buildings where shingles were never meant to go.
Per square; tapered insulation priced separately
Low-slope detail -
05
Exterior remodeling
Rotted fascia and soffit cut out and replaced, gutters and downspouts rehung on hidden hangers, siding patched where the roof meets the wall.
Per linear foot or per job, after inspection
Exterior detail
Nothing on this site is a binding price. A roof replacement in Dallas is quoted after someone has stood on it, because two houses on the same street can differ by ten squares and a layer of old shingle nobody mentioned. What you get from us is the basis written down, then a quote in the same units.
Repairs work the other way round. We won't quote a leak repair over the phone, because the stain on the ceiling is rarely under the hole in the roof. Water runs along the decking and down a rafter before it drops. Find the source first, price it second.
Storm season note. After a hail storm in Far North Dallas or Addison, the phone runs hot and door-knockers arrive from out of state. We don't knock doors. Call us, we book the free inspection, and you get the photographs before anyone talks about an insurance claim.
Proof · Finished work
A finished roof you can judge from the street
Straight courses, a crisp ridge, new drip edge showing under the first row. Those three are visible from the curb and they tell you how the hidden parts went on.
What we will not do
-
Lay new shingles over old ones.The second layer hides soft decking and the roof fails from underneath. It also adds weight the rafters were never sized for.
-
Caulk a flashing problem and call it fixed.Sealant cracks in one Texas summer. Step flashing and pipe boots are replaced, or the job isn't done.
-
Knock on your door after a storm.If you want an inspection you call us. We don't work the street with a clipboard the morning after the hail.
-
Cover the deck before you have seen it.The bare deck and every replaced sheet are photographed before underlayment goes on. You get those pictures.

Before you call
The questions people actually ask
Short answers. The long versions live on the roofing page.
- Is the inspection really free?
- Yes. No charge, no contract to sign at the door. You get the photo set either way.
- Do you deal with my insurance?
- We document the damage, meet the adjuster on the roof if you want us there, and show them the chalked bruises. The claim stays between you and your carrier.
- My roof is ten years old. Do I need a new one?
- Often not. A lot of ten-year roofs need two pipe boots and a valley repair. If that's what we find, that's what we quote.
- Who is this not for?
- Anyone after the cheapest layover on the street, or a roofer to sign off on a claim before anyone has been up the ladder. We'll lose that job on purpose.
- Do you go outside the four cities?
- Rarely. We stay close to 75252 so a callback on a leak is a short drive, not a day trip.
