Roof Replacement From Start to Finish
Plano grew in a hurry. The TSHA Handbook of Texas counts 17,872 residents in 1970 and 222,030 by 2000. Many homes from that boom are now on their second or third roof. When wear shows across most slopes, starting fresh usually beats chasing patches.
The roofer pulls off every old layer, checks the decking and rafters, then lays underlayment, drip edge, flashing, vents and the new covering. Many west Plano homes are two stories with hips, valleys and dormers, and each detail adds time and material.
What This Covers
- Every old layer off. The City's re-roof handout says old wood shake, slate, clay or cement tile has to come off before a new covering goes on. Ask how many layers the estimate assumes.
- Rotten boards and rafters. The same handout asks for rotten decking or rafters to be replaced as needed. Ask how each sheet of decking is priced.
- Packaged shingles only. Plano's handout rules out unpackaged "seconds" shingles. Look for wrapped bundles on delivery day.
- HOA color and material. Many Plano neighborhoods have an HOA. Send the board the shingle color and style before anything is ordered, and keep its written answer.
How Full Roof Replacement Is Priced
Each row below is a published range from a home-cost site, not our price and not a bid. The Plano row is a 2025 figure; the Texas rows are 2026 statewide numbers. Complex rooflines, extra layers, rotten decking and HOA-required materials push a job higher. The roofer puts the real number in writing.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Plano architectural shingles, per sq ft | about $4.50 to $7.00 | RoofVista (2025) |
| Texas asphalt shingles, per sq ft | about $4.92 | This Old House (2026) |
| Texas metal roofing, per sq ft | about $9.55 | This Old House (2026) |

Inspection, Estimate, Install
- Send the request. Tell us about the house and the roof's age. We follow up with a few questions and book the visit.
- The roofer inspects. A local roofing pro counts layers, looks in the attic and takes photos. That inspection belongs to the roofer.
- Read the written estimate. Look for tear-off, decking by the sheet, underlayment, flashing, vents, cleanup and both warranties.
- Settle the permit. In Plano, every full re-roof needs a City roof permit. Agree in writing on who pulls it, and have the roofer confirm details with the City of Plano Building Inspections Department, Plano Municipal Center, 1520 K Avenue.
- Tear-off and install. Ask for photos of the bare deck.
- The City's final. The final roof inspection includes the attic: vent pipes through the roof, rafters in position, and the water-heater and furnace vents put back properly. Ask who books it.
Reasons to Ask Here First
We explain permits and price drivers in plain words, and a request costs nothing. Roofers in Texas work without a state license. Plano does make roofing companies register with the City as general contractors before they can pull a permit, so ask to see the permit itself.
- Insurance on paper. A certificate showing general liability coverage, and workers' comp for any employees.
- An itemized contract. Every part priced, with written labor and manufacturer warranties.
- No cash-only demands. Pass on anyone who wants the whole amount before work starts.
Questions Worth Asking
Does a full roof replacement in Plano need a permit?
Yes. The City of Plano requires a roof permit on all re-roof projects, and the City's final inspection includes a look in the attic. Your roofer should check the details with Building Inspections before work starts, and the contract should name who pulls the permit and who books the final.
My house has slate or tile now. What changes if I switch?
Some larger homes in areas like Willow Bend have slate or tile roofs. Moving to another material means the old covering comes off first, and many HOAs want a say in the change. If you stay with tile, the City adds a partial inspection of the underlayment before the final.
Will the roofer look at my attic?
A careful one will. Texas summers heat attics hard, and weak airflow can shorten the life of new shingles. Ask the roofer to check intake vents at the eaves and exhaust near the ridge, and to list any vent work on the estimate. The City's final covers the attic too, so the vents need to go back properly either way.
Does Plano require impact-resistant shingles?
No. No City of Plano rule requires impact-resistant or wind-rated shingles. Class 4 shingles cost more up front and may earn an insurance discount, so ask your insurer before you choose. If you want them, have the roofer price Class 4 and standard shingles on the same estimate.
Also Worth a Look
After hail or high wind, start with storm and hail damage roofs. Choosing a material? Set shingle roof replacement beside metal roof replacement. When the trouble sits in one spot, roof repair may cover it, and the repair or replace quiz gives a quick read.
