Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my Lubbock roof needs a full replacement or just a repair?

It comes down to the age and pliability of the field shingles and whether hail has bruised the fiberglass mat across multiple slopes. If the shingles are still flexible and the leak is coming from a cracked rubber pipe boot, lifted valley flashing, or a handful of wind-creased tabs on the west rake, a targeted repair ($250–$1,450) is all you need. We show you photos from the roof so you can see for yourself.

How much does a new roof cost in Lubbock, TX?

Most single-family shingle roof replacements in Lubbock run between $8,500 and $18,500, depending on total roof square footage, pitch steepness, number of valleys and dormers, and whether you install standard architectural shingles or UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Metal roofs typically run $14,500 to $32,000.

Should I call you before I file a hail claim with my insurance company?

Yes. Having us walk the roof first and take dated photos costs nothing and tells you whether hail actually fractured the shingle mat or if the damage is smaller than your 1% or 2% wind/hail deductible. That keeps you from putting an unnecessary $0 claim on your insurance loss history.

What size hail damages a residential shingle roof in Lubbock?

Hailstones under 1 inch mostly knock loose surface granules on older roofs. Once hail reaches 1.25 to 1.5 inches (quarter to walnut size) — especially when driven by 50+ mph South Plains wind — it crushes the fiberglass mat on standard shingles. NOAA recorded 79 hail events of 1.5 inches or larger in Lubbock County between 2010 and 2025.

Are UL 2218 Class 4 impact-resistant shingles worth it in West Texas?

Yes. Class 4 SBS rubber-modified shingles absorb hail impact without cracking the mat, hold their granules longer in 105°F Lubbock summers, and qualify for a wind/hail premium discount with most Texas homeowners insurance carriers.

Can a roofer legally waive or pay my insurance deductible in Texas?

No. Under Texas Insurance Code Chapter 2102 (HB 2102, effective September 1, 2019), it is a misdemeanor for a contractor to waive, absorb, or rebate an insurance deductible, and insurance carriers require proof of deductible payment before releasing recoverable depreciation.

Does the City of Lubbock require a building permit for a roof replacement?

Yes. The City of Lubbock requires a Residential Re-Roofing permit for any full roof replacement (including underlayment) and conducts a final inspection. We pull the City permit and include it in your written quote.

How long does it take to replace a house roof in Lubbock?

Most single-family residential roofs in Lubbock are torn off, dried in, shingled, and magnet-swept in 1 to 2 days, weather permitting.

What happens if you find rotted plywood or OSB decking after tearing off the old shingles?

We inspect the bare wood deck after tear-off. If any sheets around a chimney, valley, or eave are soft or delaminated, we photograph them and replace them at the exact per-sheet unit price listed upfront in your written estimate.

Why do rubber plumbing vent boots fail so fast in Lubbock?

Standard black neoprene collars sit in intense high-plains UV and 150°F summer roof temperatures, drying out and splitting in 6 to 8 years. We replace them with heavy lead jacks or high-temp silicone/permalife boots that last the life of the roof.

Do you install seamless gutters and downspouts along with roofing?

Yes. We custom-run 5-inch and 6-inch seamless aluminum K-style gutters and 3x4 downspouts to keep heavy thunderstorm runoff from trenching your flowerbeds and soaking your slab foundation.

What towns around Lubbock do you serve?
