Primary data only. Permit files pulled . TDI file pulled .
The Dallas file records the date a permit was issued and ends in 2020. The Fort Worth file records the date an application was filed and runs to the pull date. Adding the two together would mix different things and different years, so the page reads them separately.
The numbers are declared job values on permits. They show what applicants wrote on the paperwork, in the year they wrote it.
What Do Dallas-Fort Worth Re-Roof Permits Declare?
A Dallas-Fort Worth permit applicant states a job value when the city issues the permit. For Dallas-Fort Worth, we take every re-roof permit in the city file, keep the ones with a usable value and print the 25th percentile, the median and the 75th percentile of what was declared. A declared valuation in Dallas-Fort Worth is the applicant’s figure on a permit. It is not an invoice, a quote or a price per square, and nothing on this Dallas-Fort Worth page is one.

What Did Texas Insurers Pay On Homeowners Claims In Dallas-Fort Worth Counties?
Across the 9 counties listed below, insurers paid $2,453,690,418 in homeowners losses labeled Wind in 2025 and $2,480,921,118 in 2023. The county table shows where the money went. It measures claims paid, and it does not say what a roof costs.
For Dallas-Fort Worth, the Texas Department of Insurance publishes paid losses on homeowners policies by county and loss type. The Dallas-Fort Worth figures below add up the 9 counties listed here (Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall and Tarrant) for each calendar year from 2019 to 2025. In the Dallas-Fort Worth table, each column keeps the label the TDI file uses: Wind and Total Paid Loss. For Dallas-Fort Worth counties, TDI says the data does not include wind or hail losses paid by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) and does not include renters, condo or dwelling policies.
| Year | Wind | Total Paid Loss | Policies in force |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | $2,062,712,768 | $2,670,341,551 | 1,411,533 |

Which Days Carried The Most Hail Reports Across The Nine Dallas-Fort Worth Counties?
This page reads the metro hail file by calendar date. NOAA's Storm Events Database holds2,740 hail reports for the 9 counties around Dallas and Fort Worth, from 2010 through June 6, 2026. The table ranks the 12 dates the file logs the most reports for, with the counties each date names and the largest stone recorded that day.
Each row is one calendar date, and its count adds every county entry NOAA logged for that date, so a day that names four counties carries the entries from all four. The busiest date is May 27, 2024 with 118 reports. The last date in the table is March 24, 2019, with 37. A report is one observer or spotter entry, so the count measures how much hail was called in, not how many roofs took damage.
| Date | Hail reports | Counties named that day | Largest stone, inches |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 27, 2024 | 118 | Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Tarrant | 3.25 |
| June 1, 2025 | 76 | Dallas, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant | 3 |
| May 24, 2011 | 61 | Collin, Dallas, Denton, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Tarrant | 4.5 |
| April 3, 2014 | 56 | Collin, Denton, Parker, Tarrant | 4.25 |
| June 11, 2023 | 52 | Collin, Dallas, Denton, Johnson, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant | 4.25 |
| April 25, 2026 | 43 | Dallas, Parker, Tarrant | 3 |
| June 13, 2012 | 42 | Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Tarrant | 3.25 |
| May 22, 2024 | 42 | Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Tarrant | 2.25 |
| March 23, 2016 | 40 | Collin, Dallas, Denton, Parker, Tarrant | 2 |
| April 28, 2020 | 40 | Dallas, Ellis, Johnson, Parker, Tarrant | 2 |
| April 11, 2016 | 39 | Collin, Denton, Rockwall | 5.25 |
| March 24, 2019 | 37 | Collin, Dallas, Denton, Tarrant | 4.5 |
| 12 dates together | 646 | 9 of 9 | 5.25 |
Together the 12 dates hold 646 reports, about 24 percent of the file. They name between 3 and 7 counties each, and 9 of the 9 counties appear at least once. The largest stone inside these dates is 5.25 inches on April 11, 2016. The file records a larger stone, 5.9 inches, on a date that is not in this table.
The 2026 entries are preliminary, because NCEI keeps the current year open and can add rows to it. The file was built October 9, 2026 with records through June 6, 2026. Any 2026 count above can still rise.
A busy report day is not a repair order. Entry counts show when hail was widespread enough for many people to call it in, and a roof still needs an inspection before a claim or a quote. The date-by-date stone record sits on the Dallas-Fort Worth hail history page.

How Were These Figures Computed?
Two scripts in the site repository do all of the Dallas-Fort Worth arithmetic: scripts/build-cost-valuations.mjs downloads each city file and keeps the re-roof permits, and scripts/compute-cost-figures.mjs reads the saved extracts in data/cost-primary/ and writes every number on this Dallas-Fort Worth page. For Dallas-Fort Worth, a value is used only if it is at least $100; blanks, zeros and placeholders such as $1 are counted and left out. Dallas-Fort Worth percentiles use linear interpolation between ranked values, the method behind Excel’s PERCENTILE.INC. Dollar figures are rounded to the nearest dollar.
Questions About Dallas-Fort Worth Roof Replacement Cost
- How much does a roof replacement cost in Dallas Fort Worth?
- Two city files give two different answers, and this page does not combine them. Dallas re-roof permits issued January 2, 2018 to August 28, 2020 declare a median of $12,198, with a 25th percentile of $7,990 and a 75th percentile of $20,000 across 9,390 permits. Those are 2018 to 2020 values, because the Dallas file stops in August 2020. Fort Worth re-roof permits filed October 15, 2023 to October 9, 2026 declare a median of $21,426, with a 25th percentile of $11,808 and a 75th percentile of $73,133 across 1,304 permits. A declared valuation is the applicant's figure on a permit and not a quote, so only a measured quote prices your roof.
- How many Dallas re-roof permits state a job value?
