Replacing a Roof in Colleyville: Timing, Materials and Process

Half of the homes in Colleyville were built before 1994 (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024), and 97 percent of homes are owner occupied. In practice that means most roofs in town are maintained by the people living under them, and many houses have already been through at least one full replacement.

Hail sets the pace more than age does. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center logged 37 hail reports of 1.75 inches or larger within 10 miles of Colleyville from 2015 through 2024. The largest was 4 inches, on June 11, 2023. Stones that size can break shingles and crack the mat underneath across a whole slope. When damage is spread that wide, spot repairs stop making sense.

Spring and early summer bring most of the large hail to North Texas, so some owners prefer to replace in late summer or fall, once the worst storms have passed. Others replace right after a storm so the damaged roof does not sit through another season. Both approaches work. What matters is not leaving a cracked roof exposed while you decide. Our article on the best time of year to replace a roof in Texas covers weather, scheduling and material delivery.

Before the crew arrives, clear the driveway, move cars out of the garage and take down wall hangings near the roofline, since hammering travels through the framing. Let neighbors know about the noise. Keep pets inside or away for the day.
