Roof Replacement: What Everyone Wants to Know Before Upgrading

1. How Much Does a Roof Replacement Cost?

Let’s get straight to the most common question: How much will it cost?

The answer depends on several key factors, including:

• The size and slope of your roof

• The roofing material you choose (shingles, metal, tile, etc.)

• The cost of removing and disposing of your old roof

• Labor and permitting costs in your area

• Any repairs needed underneath the old roof (like wood rot or structural damage)

💡 In Texas, a full roof replacement typically ranges from $6,000 to $15,000 or more. At Fortenberry Roofing, we provide detailed, no-pressure estimates, so you’ll always know exactly what to expect—no surprises.

 

2. How Do I Know It's Time to Replace My Roof?

Not sure if you need a new roof yet? Look out for these common warning signs:

• Shingles are curling, cracking, or missing

• You find shingle granules in your gutters

• You see water stains on the ceilings or walls

• Your roof is 20 years old or older

• You’ve had recent hail or wind damage

If you're unsure, we offer free roof inspections to give you a clear, honest assessment—no obligation.

3. What Kind of Roof Should I Choose?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best roofing material depends on your home’s structure, your budget, and your long-term goals.

Here are a few of the most popular options:

• Asphalt Shingles – Affordable and widely used, with solid durability and design variety

• Metal Roofing – Energy-efficient, long-lasting, and excellent in Texas heat

We’ll walk you through all your options and help you find the best fit.
