Roof Replacement in McKinney, TX

Signs You Need a Roof Replacement

After 26 years serving McKinney homeowners, we’ve learned to spot the warning signs that mean it’s time for a full roof replacement rather than another patch job. Your roof typically lasts 20-30 years in North Texas weather, but several factors can accelerate the need for replacement.

Age and General Wear: If your asphalt shingle roof is approaching 20 years old, it’s time to start planning. We see roofs in McKinney deteriorate faster due to our intense summer heat—temperatures on your roof surface can reach 160°F on August afternoons. Look for curling shingle edges, significant granule loss in your gutters, or that telltale weathered appearance that says your roof has fought its last battle.

Storm Damage Beyond Repair: McKinney sits in prime hail territory. When we inspect roofs after major storms, we look for impact marks, exposed mat, and compromised seal integrity. If more than 30% of your roof shows hail damage, replacement often makes more financial sense than repairs—especially when insurance is involved. Missing shingles, while concerning, are just the visible damage. The real problems hide underneath where water has likely penetrated the decking.

Structural Red Flags: A sagging roofline isn’t just ugly—it’s dangerous. We check attics for daylight penetration, inspect rafters for rot, and evaluate deck integrity. Multiple leaks appearing simultaneously usually indicate systemic failure. Dark streaks might seem cosmetic, but they signal moisture retention that’s breaking down your shingles from within. When your energy bills spike unexpectedly, it often means your roof’s ventilation system has failed, trapping heat and moisture that accelerate deterioration.

Types of Roofs We Replace

Our McKinney crews specialize in complete tear-off and replacement for all residential roof types common in North Texas. Residential pitched roofs make up 85% of our replacement projects—from simple gable designs to complex hip-and-valley configurations. We handle standard ranch-style homes, two-story colonials, and luxury estates with equal expertise.

Flat and low-slope roofs require different approaches, and we’re equipped for both residential and light commercial applications. Whether it’s a modern home with flat roof sections or a McKinney business needing a complete membrane replacement, we use appropriate systems like TPO or modified bitumen designed for minimal pitch.

Specialty replacements include historic homes requiring architectural shingles that match original aesthetics, metal roof conversions for homeowners seeking maximum durability, and complex multi-level roofs with varying pitches. We also handle garage roofs, covered patios, and additions—ensuring everything matches and integrates properly.

Roofing Materials We Install

Premium Asphalt Shingles

Our most popular choice for McKinney homes, premium asphalt shingles deliver excellent value with proven performance in Texas weather. We install architectural shingles rated for 130 mph winds—critical for those surprise storms that roll through Collin County. Modern shingles include algae-resistant granules that prevent those ugly dark streaks, and reflective technology that can reduce attic temperatures by 20°F. With warranties ranging from 25 to 50 years, today’s asphalt shingles far exceed the basic 3-tabs your home probably has now. We see these perform exceptionally well in McKinney’s climate, handling everything from golf-ball-sized hail to scorching summer heat.

Metal Roofing Systems

Standing seam metal roofs have surged in popularity across McKinney, and for good reason. These systems laugh at hail, reflect heat like champions, and can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance. We install both steel and aluminum options, with hidden fastener systems that eliminate leak points. Energy savings run 20-40% compared to traditional shingles—significant when your AC runs from April through October. The investment pays off through lower insurance premiums (many carriers offer discounts for impact-resistant metal), reduced energy costs, and virtually eliminating replacement concerns for decades. Available in styles that mimic shingles, slate, or modern panels, metal suits everything from farmhouse to contemporary architecture.

Clay and Concrete Tile

For McKinney’s Mediterranean and Spanish-style homes, clay and concrete tiles provide unmatched aesthetic appeal with serious performance benefits. These materials naturally insulate, keeping homes cooler while withstanding extreme temperature swings. Tile roofs commonly last 50-100 years when properly installed—we’re often replacing tiles damaged by improper walking rather than weather. The weight requires proper structural support, which we always verify during inspection. While the upfront investment exceeds asphalt, the longevity and energy savings make tile increasingly popular in upscale McKinney neighborhoods like Craig Ranch and Stonebridge Ranch.

We also install synthetic slate, cedar shake alternatives, modified bitumen for flat sections, and specialty products depending on your specific needs and architectural requirements.

Roof Replacement Costs in McKinney, TX

Let’s address the big question honestly: roof replacement in McKinney typically ranges from $8,500 to $18,000 for average-sized homes (2,000-3,000 sq ft). Several factors drive these costs, and understanding them helps you budget accurately.

Size and Complexity Matter: Simple, walkable roofs cost less than steep, multi-level designs with numerous valleys, dormers, or skylights. Every penetration (vents, chimneys, pipes) requires special attention and materials. Two-story homes add labor costs for safety equipment and material handling. That gorgeous turret on your Victorian? Beautiful, but it’ll add to your investment.

Material Selection Impact: Basic 3-tab shingles might save money upfront but rarely make sense in McKinney’s weather. Architectural shingles add $1,500-3,000 but include better warranties and hail resistance. Metal roofing runs 2-3x traditional shingles but often pays back through energy savings and longevity. Tile can reach $20,000+ but might never need replacement again.

Hidden Factors: Removing multiple old layers adds disposal costs. Damaged decking (common in older McKinney homes) requires replacement at $2-4 per square foot. Upgrading ventilation—critical for shingle longevity—adds $500-1,500 but prevents premature failure. Code updates might require additional work on homes built before 2000.

Financing Options: Our payment solutions are tailored to your budget. Pay with cash or check to avoid extra costs and possibly unlock savings. Credit cards (Mastercard, AmEx, Visa, Discover) provide rewards and 0% APR options. We offer in-house financing with terms from 12 months to 10 years, starting at 6.9% APR.
