Installed cost per square, by material
The Dallas-Fort Worth rates were read October 25, 2026 from the price pages of roofing companies that work in Dallas-Fort Worth. Each range below runs from the lowest low to the highest high of the pages named in its last column, and a range needs at least two pages. A price per square foot is multiplied by 100.
| Material | Per square, installed | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingle | $350 to $900 | D1, D2, D3, D4, D6, D7, D8, D9 |
| Standing seam metal | $900 to $1,800 | D3, D4, D5 |
What does a roof cost by size?
Each Dallas-Fort Worth cell is the number of roofing squares times the architectural shingle low or high rate above ($350 and $900 per square), before tear-off. The Dallas-Fort Worth price pages give a range, not a median, so the table shows the low and the high.
| Roofing squares | Roof surface (sq ft) | At the low rate | At the high rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 1,500 | $5,250 | $13,500 |
| 20 | 2,000 | $7,000 | $18,000 |
| 25 | 2,500 | $8,750 | $22,500 |
| 30 | 3,000 | $10,500 | $27,000 |
| 35 | 3,500 | $12,250 | $31,500 |
Source: Dallas-Fort Worth rates read October 25, 2026 from published price pages (D1, D2, D3, D4, D6, D7, D8, D9). The Dallas-Fort Worth rates are not preliminary and are refreshed at least twice a year.
What that means for one house
A 2,000 square foot Dallas-Fort Worth footprint at a medium pitch (6 in 12, multiplier 1.118) carries about 22.4 squares. At the Dallas-Fort Worth architectural shingle range that is $7,826 to $20,124 before tear-off, and one layer of tear-off adds $2,236 to $4,472 at $100 to $200 per square.
Steeper pitch raises the Dallas-Fort Worth square count, not the per-square rate: the multiplier is 1.031 at 3 in 12 and 1.414 at 12 in 12.
How Many Dallas-Fort Worth Roofs Were Re-Roofed Under Permit?
The rate table above comes from published price pages. This block comes from a different pair of files: the City of Dallas building permit extract and the City of Fort Worth development permit file, both read at build time. The Fort Worth file holds 1,329 re-roof applications filed between October 9, 2023 and October 9, 2026. The Dallas file holds 11,247 re-roof permits issued between January 2, 2018 and August 28, 2020, and Dallas Open Data describes that file as no longer updated, so no figure here is a current Dallas count.
| Year | Dallas, permits issued | Fort Worth, applications filed |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2,456 | not in this file |
| 2019 | 6,252 | not in this file |
| 2020 | 2,539 | not in this file |
| 2021 | not in this file | not in this file |
| 2022 | not in this file | not in this file |
| 2023 | not in this file | 83 |
| 2024 | not in this file | 473 |
| 2025 | not in this file | 384 |
| 2026 | not in this file | 389 |
The two files do not line up in time, which is why they are printed side by side. 6,252 Dallas permits in 2019 is the last full Dallas year in the file, and the file's own last row is 6 years older than the newest Fort Worth row. A per-square quote written now cannot be checked against a Dallas series that stopped in August 2020, but it can be checked against the Fort Worth file for the year the work is scheduled. The Dallas window is 32 months long. The Fort Worth window is 37 months long, and its first and last rows each cover part of a year.
| City | Month | Filings |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas | August 2019 | 1,116 |
| Dallas | July 2019 | 1,049 |
| Dallas | September 2019 | 728 |
| Fort Worth | June 2024 | 103 |
| Fort Worth | May 2024 | 87 |
| Fort Worth | June 2026 | 66 |
In Fort Worth those three months carry 19 percent of every application in the file, against 26 percent for the Dallas top three. A crew booked in a month that sits outside its city's top three is bidding against fewer competitors for the same house, which is a scheduling point and not a price point: the per-square range above does not move with permit volume, and no count here is used to price a job.
18 of the 30 companies on this site's Dallas-Fort Worth ranking appear in the Dallas permit record under an identical name or phone number, together on 995 permits between January 2018 and August 2020. Every match was hand-checked against the recorded name or number. The Fort Worth file has no contractor field, so no company can be matched to a Fort Worth application.
A permit number is one line a homeowner can ask a bidder to print on a per-square quote. It shows the city accepted the scope before the work started, and the year and month rows above say when similar work was filed around the house. What it does not show is cost: a permit records the scope and the date, never the amount paid, so the per-square range in the table at the top of this page still rests on the published price pages named in the Sources block.
Source: City of Dallas, Building Permits dataset, and City of Fort Worth, Development Permits open data. Dallas window January 2, 2018 to August 28, 2020, issued permits, file no longer updated. Fort Worth window October 9, 2023 to October 9, 2026, applications filed. Both pulled October 9, 2026. Preliminary: no. Permit detail sits on the Dallas-Fort Worth re-roof permit index.
Which Months Bring Hail To Dallas County?
The rate table above comes from published price pages. This block reads a different file: NOAA's Storm Events Database entries for Dallas County. The file holds 359 Dallas County hail reports from 2010 through June 6, 2026, on 110 days, and each entry carries the month it fell in. The largest stone the county file records measured 4.25 inches.
| Month | Reports | Share, rounded |
|---|---|---|
| January | 5 | 1% |
| February | 1 | 0% |
| March | 47 | 13% |
| April | 103 | 29% |
| May | 75 | 21% |
| June | 79 | 22% |
| July | 2 | 1% |
| August | 7 | 2% |
| September | 23 | 6% |
| October | 13 | 4% |
| November | 2 | 1% |
| December | 2 | 1% |
| All 12 months | 359 | 100% |
April, June, May and March carry 304 of the 359 reports, about 85 percent of the county file. April is the busiest month at 103 reports and February the quietest at 1. The other eight months together add 55.
The same file covers 9 counties around Dallas-Fort Worth and holds 2,740 hail reports in all, 377 of them at 2 inches or wider, about 14 percent. Dallas County's 359 reports are about 13 percent of that metro total. A report is one spotter or observer entry, not one damaged roof, so the counts describe what was reported rather than what a stone hit.
Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, Storm Events Database. Built October 9, 2026, records through June 6, 2026. Preliminary: Yes for the 2026 entries, so their months can still gain reports. Storm-by-storm detail sits on the Dallas-Fort Worth hail history page.

Source for the Dallas-Fort Worth permit column on this roof cost per square page: the City of Dallas open data file, pulled October 13, 2026, with the other metros read from the file that holds the most usable permits. Source for the Dallas-Fort Worth Wind column on this roof cost per square page: Texas Department of Insurance homeowners losses by county, Dallas County, 2025, file read October 10, 2026. Neither Dallas-Fort Worth column on this roof cost per square page is preliminary, because the cities publish issued permits and the Department marks no year preliminary. In the Dallas-Fort Worth rows of this roof cost per square page, rank 1 is the highest figure, and a permit value is declared by the applicant, so it is not a price.
