5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofing Contractor in Dallas–Fort Worth
Your roof isn’t just shingles and nails — it’s one of the most important investments protecting your home. Whether you’re repairing hail damage, replacing an aging roof, or handling an insurance claim, choosing the right contractor determines the quality and lifespan of your roof.
But in a market crowded with options (and a few less-than-honest operators), how do you find a roofer you can truly trust?
The answer starts with asking the right questions — before you sign a single document.
At
Renown Roofing & Construction, we believe informed homeowners make the smartest decisions. Here are
five essential questions to ask any roofer before hiring them.
1. Are You Licensed and Insured?
This should always be your first question.
A professional roofing company should have no hesitation in providing documentation that proves they are:
- Licensed to operate in Texas
- Fully insured with both liability and workers’ compensation coverage
- Committed to protecting you from any legal or financial liability if an accident occurs on your property
If a roofer can’t or won’t show you this paperwork, that’s a
major red flag. Choosing a fully licensed and insured contractor ensures your project — and your peace of mind — are protected.
2. What Experience Do You Have in Dallas–Fort Worth?
Roofing in Texas isn’t like roofing anywhere else. Between hailstorms, high winds, and triple-digit heat, your roof faces challenges that only a local expert truly understands.
Ask your contractor:
- How long have you worked in the DFW area?
- What types of roofs do you specialize in (residential, commercial, metal, tile)?
- Can you provide
references or reviews from local homeowners?
At Renown Roofing, our team has spent over a decade serving North Texas. We’ve repaired and replaced thousands of roofs damaged by hail, wind, and sun — so we know exactly what your home needs to stay protected.
3. Do You Offer Warranties on Materials and Workmanship?
Not all warranties are created equal.
When reviewing your roofer’s proposal, ask:
- How long is the
workmanship warranty?
- Are the
materials backed by manufacturer warranties?
- Do you offer
No-Dollar-Limit (NDL) coverage for commercial roofing?
Renown Roofing provides residential warranties up to 50 years and commercial NDL warranties up to 20 years, covering 100% of repair or replacement costs. That’s the kind of protection every homeowner deserves.
4. Will You Help with Insurance Claims?
After a storm, insurance claims can be confusing and stressful — especially if you’ve never filed one before. That’s why it’s crucial to hire a roofing company experienced in claims assistance.
Ask:
- Do you have
licensed insurance adjusters on staff?
- Will you
meet with my adjuster and help document the damage?
- Can you ensure I get
the full, fair payout I’m entitled to?
At Renown Roofing, our
licensed adjusters often help clients secure
30–40% more in payouts than they would on their own — all while staying fully compliant with Texas insurance regulations.
5. What Do Your Reviews and Reputation Say?
A reputable roofing contractor will have a strong track record — and plenty of satisfied customers willing to share their experiences.
Before hiring anyone, take time to check:
- Online reviews on Google, BBB, and social media
- Local references or photo galleries of completed projects
- How the company responds to both positive and negative feedback
If a roofer has little to no online presence or avoids sharing references, that’s a warning sign. Trust is built through transparency and proven results.
💡
Important Note: If your project involves an
insurance claim, Texas law prohibits contractors from providing a written estimate that could be interpreted as negotiating or adjusting the claim. A trustworthy company will follow these rules and instead provide clear documentation and communication throughout the process.
