Cities served: Arlington TX, Dallas TX, Plano TX, Kennedale TX. ## Editorial position Texas has no state roofing licence. Texas Insurance Code §4102.163 prohibits a roofing contractor from acting as, or advertising as, a public insurance adjuster for a property it may also work on. This site therefore describes inspection, documentation and written itemised estimates, and does not describe claim handling. Texas law also prohibits a contractor from paying or absorbing a homeowner's deductible. Every price range on this site is aggregated published market data with sources shown, not a quote. Figures we could not corroborate are explicitly withheld and marked as such. This site publishes no customer scores, badges or aggregate feedback data, and carries no Review or AggregateRating structured data. ## Reference guides (start here) - [What Texas Law Prohibits Your Roofer Doing With Your Claim](https://rhroof.com/guides/texas-insurance-code-4102-what-your-roofer-cannot-do/): Texas Insurance Code §4102.163, the Stonewater Supreme Court decision, and the deductible prohibition, explained for homeowners, with every source cited. - [How to Verify a Roofing Contractor in Arlington, TX](https://rhroof.com/guides/verify-a-roofing-contractor-arlington-tx/): Six checks using Arlington's own public tools: contractor registration lookup, permit history search, and the deductible warning the city publishes itself. - [Roofing Permit Requirements by DFW City](https://rhroof.com/guides/dfw-roofing-permit-requirements/): Contractor registration and roofing permit requirements for Arlington, Dallas and Plano, with a verification status shown against every figure. - [Roof Replacement Cost in DFW, 2026](https://rhroof.com/costs/roof-replacement-dfw/): DFW roof replacement costs $8,500-$25,000, typically $12,500-$15,000.

No. 10962) and Chapter 52. - Dallas homeowners pulling their own roofing permit must swear an affidavit before a city staff witness that no other person is paid to perform any part of the work. - Plano: a roof permit is required on all re-roof projects, except work not exceeding 25% of the roof. Residential re-roof permit fee is a flat $75; General Contractor registration (which includes roof companies) is $100/yr. The final inspection includes an attic inspection. - Kennedale: all contractors including sub-contractors must be registered with the city to obtain a permit; registration is $100 initially and $50 on annual renewal. The city sets a $90 minimum fee for any single permit or inspection, listed or unlisted. - The City of Arlington warns homeowners about contractors offering to absorb an insurance deductible, and about contractors asking the homeowner to pull the permit as owner-builder. - DFW roof replacement: $8,500–$25,000, typically $12,500–$15,000 (six independent 2026 sources). - Metal roofing: approximately $700–$1,200 per square (100 sq ft) installed. - Texas wind and hail deductibles are commonly a percentage of dwelling coverage, not a flat sum.
