Dallas gets strong straight-line winds that rip shingles right off older roofs in East Dallas and Bishop Arts District. I check the ridge vents first because those fail fast when gusts hit 40 mph or more. Cheap crews skip the 15-pound felt underlayment and just slap new shingles down, which lets wind-driven rain in during our humid summers. We use GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with the Sealant Strip that grips better in heat.
In Uptown Dallas and Deep Ellum the homes from the 1950s often have brittle asphalt shingles that crack at the edges. Wind finds those spots and peels them back. Dallas code requires a permit for any roof work over 100 square feet, and inspectors want to see the underlayment and flashing details. I have seen jobs where guys used cheap plastic flashing that melted in the first hot summer after the repair.
After a storm I start with a full walk on the roof and mark every damaged spot. Then we pull the bad sections, replace any rotted decking with 5/8-inch plywood, and install new ice-and-water shield along the eaves. In North Dallas the mild winters let small leaks go unnoticed until they hit the ceiling. We always run a hose test before we leave so the homeowner sees it holds.
Call the shop at 5124 Sharp St for 24/7 wind damage roof repair. We answer day or night and can usually get a crew out the same day when the roof is open to the weather.
