Roof repair in Fort Worth: what the city requires, then request a roofer
Send us your address and what you see. If your address is in our area, your request goes to our roofing partner who inspects the roof and gives you the scope and price in writing.
What Fort Worth requires, from the city's own pages
- Shingle-only replacement does not need a permit. The City of Fort Worth's roofing FAQ says so.
- Replacing any decking does. The same FAQ says a permit is required if any roof decking is replaced.
- The 2021 International Residential Code applies. The city lists it, with local amendments, as its current residential code.
Dallas Roof Works is a referral service, not the roofer. Our roofing partner does the work. Ask them who applies for the permit and to show you the permit number before work starts.
What we won't do
What we won't do: diagnose your roof from a desk, push a roof you don't need, ask you to sign anything first, or offer an illegal deductible deal.
