Roofing Systems & Manufacturer Coverage
Roof Types, Shingle Brands & Warranty Years
The right roofing system depends on roof slope, deck condition, drainage, local requirements, appearance and budget. These are common options and examples of asphalt-shingle manufacturers; the written estimate should identify the exact product selected and its current warranty.
Impact-Resistant Shingles
Some asphalt shingles are tested for impact resistance, including UL 2218 Class 3 or Class 4 products. Ratings depend on the exact model and do not mean a roof is hail-proof.
Metal Roofing
Metal panels and metal shingles can suit certain roof designs. Panel profile, coating, fastening and roof details affect product selection and the applicable manufacturer warranty.
Low-Slope Roofing
Low-slope areas may call for a compatible membrane system, such as TPO, PVC or modified bitumen. Drainage, seams, penetrations and the existing roof assembly guide the choice.
Material selection / DFW, Texas
Three shingle products. A clearer material decision.
See the package, identify the model and compare what belongs in the complete roof assembly. These architectural asphalt shingles are examples to discuss for a suitable sloped roof; metal, tile and low-slope systems need their own specifications.

Metal roofing / DFW, Texas
Metal roofing: see the profile, understand the system
Standing seams, exposed-fastener panels and stone-coated steel offer different appearances and construction details. Start with the roof slope, support and transitions; then compare the exact manufacturer, model and finish for your Dallas–Fort Worth property.
Your project, in focus
Build the comparison around the whole roof
A metal-roof estimate should describe what supports the panels, how they attach and how water is handled at edges and penetrations. Review the covering alongside deck preparation, underlayment, flashing and accessories so the finished price corresponds to a defined assembly.
- Name the panel profile, metal substrate, gauge and finish.
- Match slope and attachment requirements to the selected product.
- Review manufacturer coverage and workmanship terms separately.
Compare the construction
Three metal-roof directions
Use these manufacturer references to identify the profile and assembly you want to discuss.
01
Concealed fasteners
Standing-seam metal
Product reference: Englert A1000
Raised seams create long, clean lines. The A1000 is an architectural snap-lock system with concealed clips and fasteners; this particular profile does not require mechanical seaming.
Compare the seam profile, substrate, finish and required roof assembly. Other standing-seam products use different seam and attachment details.
02
Exposed fasteners
Ribbed metal panels
Product reference: MBCI PBR
Pronounced ribs define the surface, with fasteners exposed on the panel. PBR is a roof and wall profile offered for architectural, agricultural, commercial and industrial applications.
Ask for the exact panel gauge, finish and fastening specification. Roof slope, supports, laps and trim must follow the selected product documents.
03
Dimensional appearance
Stone-coated steel
Product reference: DECRA Shingle XD
A steel roof can also have a shingle-like appearance. Shingle XD uses interlocking metal panels with stone-coated surfaces and dimensional edges instead of long, exposed vertical ribs.
Compare a physical sample and the complete installation specification, including accessories. The product name and approved finish should be recorded in the estimate.

Commercial roofing / DFW, Texas
Commercial roofing, from TPO to complete roof assemblies.
Compare the main roofing families for Dallas–Fort Worth businesses: TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofing, metal, foam and liquid systems. Start with the building’s roof condition, drainage and use, then identify the product and assembly that belong in the estimate.
01 / Single-ply membranes
Start with TPO. Compare the alternatives.
These membrane families can look similar from the ground. Their chemistry, seams, accessories and approved assemblies differ.
Illustration · generic materialThermoplastic polyolefin
TPO
Reference: GAF EverGuard TPO
A thermoplastic sheet membrane with heat-welded seams. The roof assembly may use mechanical attachment, approved adhesives or another specified fastening system. White is one available finish; identify the actual product rather than choosing by color alone.
Compare membrane thickness, attachment, insulation, cover board and perimeter details as one assembly.
For your DFW propertyFor a TPO estimate, identify the membrane line and thickness alongside insulation, cover board and attachment.
Manufacturer warranty reference15–25 years · listed standard TPO materials
GAF’s published limited material warranty lists standard EverGuard TPO 45 / 60 / 80 mil membranes at 15 / 20 / 25 years, respectively, subject to its terms. Other EverGuard lines have different periods.
Illustration · generic materialPolyvinyl chloride membranes
PVC & PVC KEE
Reference: GAF EverGuard PVC / PVC KEE
PVC is another heat-welded thermoplastic membrane family. KEE-modified products are distinct formulations. Where exhaust, oils or process chemicals may reach the roof, request the manufacturer’s compatibility guidance for the actual exposure.
Name the formulation and accessory system; PVC and TPO are not interchangeable simply because both may look white.
For your DFW propertyFor PVC or PVC KEE, document the exact formulation and discuss any exposure from the building’s operation.
Manufacturer warranty reference15–25 years · varies by PVC / KEE product
GAF’s limited material warranty lists standard EverGuard PVC 50 mil at 15 years and 60 / 80 mil at 20 years. Listed PVC KEE 50 / 60 / 80 mil periods are 15 / 20 / 25 years. Terms and product identity control.
Illustration · generic materialSynthetic rubber membrane
EPDM
Reference: Carlisle Sure-Seal EPDM
A thermoset rubber membrane used in adhered, mechanically fastened and ballasted assemblies, depending on the selected system. Field seams use specified tapes or adhesives rather than the hot-air welding used for TPO and PVC.
Compare seam accessories, attachment, surfacing and service access together. Confirm the exact membrane and approved assembly.
For your DFW propertyFor EPDM, compare attachment, seam accessories, access protection and the requested manufacturer program.
Manufacturer warranty reference5–30 years · eligible system programs
Carlisle publishes EPDM system submittal options from 5 through 30 years, with different membrane, attachment and project requirements. A proposed period requires manufacturer eligibility and approval; it is not automatic coverage for every EPDM roof.
02 / The wider material guide
Other commercial roof systems
Open a system to see how it is built and what to compare. Selection depends on the building, its existing condition and the proposed work.
04SBS modified bitumenAsphalt-based sheets
Reinforced asphalt sheets modified with styrene-butadiene-styrene. Base and cap sheets form a specified assembly, with application methods that vary by product, including approved self-adhered, cold-applied or heat-applied systems.
Compare in the estimate: Identify every ply and its application method. Coordinate the work process with the occupied building below.
Johns Manville SBS systems ↗05APP modified bitumenAsphalt-based sheets
Asphalt modified with atactic polypropylene and manufactured as reinforced roofing sheets. Many APP systems use heat application; the approved method depends on the exact sheet and specification.
Compare in the estimate: Compare the complete base-and-cap assembly, substrate and flashing details. Include the required work controls in the proposal.
Johns Manville APP systems ↗06Built-up roofing (BUR)Multiple-ply asphalt roofing
A roof membrane built on site from alternating layers of bitumen and reinforcing felts. Surfacing is specified as part of the system; gravel is one possible finish, not the definition of every BUR roof.
Compare in the estimate: Record the number of plies, surfacing, existing layers and removal plan. Review the assembly weight and the condition of the supporting deck.
Johns Manville BUR systems ↗07Commercial metal roofingPanel systems
Standing-seam and exposed-fastener panels serve different roof designs. A structural panel system, an architectural panel over a deck and an insulated metal roof panel are distinct assemblies.
Compare in the estimate: Confirm the panel’s slope, support, attachment and thermal-movement requirements. Include curbs, transitions and drainage in the comparison.
MBCI metal roof systems ↗See metal profiles on this page →08Spray polyurethane foam (SPF)Spray-applied insulation & roofing
Roofing-grade foam is applied on site and paired with a protective surfacing system. Elastomeric coatings are commonly used to protect the foam from ultraviolet exposure and routine surface wear.
Compare in the estimate: Define substrate preparation, foam and coating specifications, application conditions and future inspection or recoating responsibilities.
SPFA roofing technical resources ↗09Reinforced liquid-applied membranesPolyurethane, PMMA & related resins
Compatible resin and reinforcement cure into a continuous waterproofing membrane. Product families include polyurethane and PMMA, with different primers, cure conditions and detailing requirements.
Compare in the estimate: Ask whether the proposal is a complete reinforced waterproofing system, localized flashing or a maintenance coating. Specify the intended use and required build-up.
Sika roofing and waterproofing resins ↗10Silicone, acrylic & urethane coatingsRestoration of suitable existing roofs
Coatings may form part of a restoration system over a compatible existing roof. Product chemistry, substrate condition, moisture, adhesion and drainage determine whether the proposal is appropriate.
Compare in the estimate: Identify wet or damaged areas and required repairs before coating. A coating proposal should explain preparation and coverage, not conceal an unsuitable substrate.
GAF commercial roof coatings ↗11Shingles, tile, slate & other sloped coveringsSteep-slope commercial roofs
Offices, shops and other commercial buildings can have sloped roofs using asphalt shingles, clay or concrete tile, slate, wood or synthetic coverings where suitable. The building’s use alone does not determine its roof covering.
Compare in the estimate: Select for the measured slope, deck, load and manufacturer instructions. Evaluate transitions to any adjoining low-slope membrane separately.
NRCA roofing-material guidance ↗See shingle product examples →12Protected membranes, roof gardens & paversSpecialty assemblies above waterproofing
Vegetation, pavers or protective layers are placed above an underlying waterproofing assembly. These are complete roof configurations; plants, ballast or paving do not replace the waterproofing membrane.
Compare in the estimate: Review structural capacity, drainage, access to the membrane and maintenance. Coordinate any solar equipment with the selected roof system as well.

Complete Roofing Service
Roofing Based on the Actual Condition of the Property
A roofing estimate should start with the roof that is actually on the building. We review visible shingle condition, flashing, penetrations, vents, transitions, roof edges and storm-related damage before recommending repair or replacement.
When replacement is appropriate, Luna General Contractors coordinates tear-off, decking-related repairs when needed, underlayment, shingles, flashing, ventilation and cleanup. For smaller issues, we can focus the scope on the affected area instead of automatically recommending a full roof.

What We Look For
Common Roofing Problems in North Texas
North Texas roofs can be affected by hail, high wind, lifted or missing shingles, failed sealant, exposed fasteners, deteriorated flashing and age-related wear. Leaks may also appear around pipe penetrations, valleys, chimneys, wall transitions or roof-to-wall flashing.
Finding the source matters because interior staining does not always sit directly below the exterior opening. A useful roofing scope connects the visible symptoms with the likely entry point and the construction needed to correct it.

Roofing FAQ
Questions About Roof Repair and Replacement
These answers explain the construction factors we review. Insurance coverage remains subject to the policy and carrier decision.
Request a Roof EstimateHow much does a roof replacement cost in Dallas–Fort Worth?
Roof replacement cost depends on roof size, pitch, shingle type, number of layers, decking condition, flashing, ventilation, access and disposal. A site inspection is the best way to build an accurate scope and estimate.
Do you provide roof inspections after storms in DFW?
Yes. We inspect visible conditions on shingles, vents, flashing, penetrations and related exterior components, then prepare a repair or replacement scope based on the property.
Should I repair a few shingles or replace the entire roof?
That depends on the affected area, roof age, overall condition, whether compatible materials are available, and whether a repair can be completed without damaging surrounding shingles.
Does homeowners insurance pay for roof replacement in Texas?
Coverage depends on the policy, cause of loss, deductible, exclusions and the carrier's inspection. Storm damage may qualify, while wear, maintenance issues or excluded causes may not.
What is the difference between ACV and RCV on a roofing claim?
Actual Cash Value generally reflects replacement cost minus depreciation. Replacement Cost Value generally reflects the estimated cost to replace covered property, subject to policy terms, limits and deductible.
Can roof depreciation be recovered after the work is completed?
On some replacement-cost policies, recoverable depreciation may be released after covered repairs are completed and documented. The policy and settlement documents control whether depreciation is recoverable.
Do solar panels need to be removed for roof replacement?
If panels cover areas that require roofing work, they generally need to be professionally detached and reset. The scope should address scheduling, roof penetrations, flashing and responsibility for reconnecting the system.
Why does roof pitch affect the project?
Pitch affects measurements, safety setup, access, labor and material handling. Steeper slopes can require additional fall protection and increase the roof surface area compared with the building footprint.
