AfterNew Construction in Dallas, TX
New construction roofing in Dallas means installing a roof on a home that has never had one. For most homeowners, that happens once: when a house is being built from the ground up. The roof goes on after framing and sheathing, and before any interior finish work begins. At Brennan Roofing Co Dallas, we install new construction roofs the same way we install replacements: with a written price before any work starts, background-checked uniformed technicians on site, and a one-year written guarantee on the finished job. Call (903) 499-4441 if you’re building in Dallas or any surrounding community like Garland, Mesquite, Irving, or Plano, and need a roofing crew that shows up when they say they will. If you’re weighing a full re-roof on an existing home, see our Roof Replacement & Installation in Dallas page instead.
We source new construction materials from manufacturer lines including Atlas, IKO, and Boral, so your builder or architect has real options without hunting down specialty suppliers. The Garrison Standard applies to every new construction job we take: the number goes on paper first, the crew is who we say they are, and the work carries a written 365-Day Done Right Promise.
When You Need New Construction
Most people don’t think about new construction roofing until a contractor or architect tells them it’s time to schedule it. Here’s when that happens in the Dallas market:
- Your home is being framed or is at the dried-in stage. Once framing and sheathing are complete, the roof needs to go on before interior work begins. Delaying it stalls everything else.
- Your builder asked you to select a roofer directly. Some Dallas custom builders handle roofing with their own subs. Others hand that decision to the homeowner. If it’s your call, you need a roofer who can work on a builder’s schedule and meet inspection deadlines.
- You’re building an addition with a new roofline. A second-story addition, a garage wing, or a covered patio in neighborhoods like Lakewood, Casa Linda, or Preston Hollow typically means new roof decking and underlayment tied into the existing structure.
- You’re putting up an ADU, guest house, or workshop. Detached structures in Dallas need their own roofing, permitted and inspected just like the main house.
- Your architect specified a material that needs an experienced installer. Slate-look shingles from Boral, designer lines from IKO, and architectural profiles from Atlas all install differently. A roofer who only does one type isn’t the right fit.
- Your lender requires a signed roofing contract before closing. Construction loans in Dallas often require a fixed bid from a licensed roofer before the draw is released. We provide that bid in writing.
Our New Construction Process
- Plans review and material takeoff. You or your builder sends us the roof plan. We measure the square footage, calculate slope, and identify any areas where the Dallas climate changes how we build. That means accounting for hail exposure, high wind zones, and the way our wet spring and fall seasons affect underlayment choices.
- Written bid, in your hands before anything starts. You get a line-item price on paper. Material, labor, tear-off if any, fasteners, drip edge, flashing, underlayment, warranty registration. The number does not move at the door. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it applies to new construction the same as it does to a repair.
- Material selection with the builder or homeowner. We walk through what’s specified and what could work better. If the plan calls for Atlas Pinnacle architectural shingles, we’ll quote that. If you’re weighing IKO Dynasty versus a Boral tile profile, we’ll show you real samples and explain the cost difference in plain terms. No pressure to upgrade. Just facts.
- Installation on schedule. Our crew is dispatched with a written work order for your address. They’re background-checked and in uniform. The foreman walks the site before we load materials. We stage everything to avoid blocking your street or your neighbors’ driveways.
- Inspection coordination and punch-out. We stay through the city inspection where the builder needs us there. If the inspector flags anything we’re responsible for, we correct it before we leave. If something fails in the first year, we come back free under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. That’s in writing.
New Construction Pricing in Dallas
New construction roofing in Dallas typically runs $5.50 to $9.00 per square foot installed, depending on material choice and roof complexity. That puts most new single-family homes in the $14,000 to $34,000 range for the roof alone. Higher-end options like Boral tile or steel can push past $45,000 on a larger custom home. Here’s how the common material lines break down for a standard 2,800 to 3,200 square foot Dallas home:
| Material Type | Typical Installed Cost (Dallas) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Atlas architectural shingles | $5.50 – $7.00 / sq ft | Solid middle option, Class 3 or 4 impact-rated profiles available. |
| IKO Dynasty architectural shingles | $5.75 – $7.25 / sq ft | High-profile look, strong wind warranty when installed to spec. |
| Boral stone-coated steel or tile profile | $9.00 – $14.00+ / sq ft | Top-end durability; heavier decking requirements can add framing cost. |
| Standing seam metal | $9.00 – $12.00 / sq ft | Popular for modern builds in East Dallas and Oak Cliff. |
What moves the number in Dallas:
- Slope and cut-up design. A simple 6/12 gable roof is the cheapest to roof. High-pitch designs, valleys, dormers, and complicated hip roofs add labor and waste.
- Decking condition and code. New construction decking is new, so no tear-off or re-nailing. But if the plan calls for Boral or tile, the structure may need upgraded sheathing thickness or additional rafters.
- Flashing complexity. Chimneys, skylights, vent stacks, and wall intersections all need custom flashing. More penetrations mean more labor on day one and fewer leak paths if done right.
- Season. Demand for new construction roofing in Dallas peaks in late spring and early fall. Booking during those windows can put you on a waitlist. Winter installs are common but weather-dependent.
Call (903) 499-4441 and we’ll put a written estimate together. The quote is free, it’s itemized, and it doesn’t expire in 48 hours.

FAQs – New Construction
How much does new construction roofing cost in Dallas?
New construction roofing in Dallas typically costs $5.50 to $9.00 per square foot installed, or roughly $14,000 to $34,000 for a standard new single-family home. Material choice is the biggest variable: Atlas or IKO architectural shingles sit at the lower end, while Boral tile profiles and standing seam metal run higher. Call (903) 499-4441 and we’ll give you an exact written number for your plans.
Can you roof a house in Dallas the same week the framing is done?
Yes, in most cases. If the plans are finalized and the decking is inspected, we can often schedule our crew inside a few business days of the call. Weather is the real variable: Dallas thunderstorms and hail season can delay installs, but we prioritize new construction jobs so your build isn’t held up. Call (903) 499-4441 with your framing date and we’ll put a schedule together.
Is it cheaper to roof during construction than to replace later?
Yes. New construction roofing skips the tear-off, disposal fees, and decking repairs that a replacement roof in Dallas often requires. You might save $2,000 to $6,000 compared to re-roofing the same house later. The labor is the same, but the prep is faster and the material waste is lower on a new deck.
What warranty do I get on a new construction roof in Dallas?
Every Brennan Roofing Co Dallas new construction roof comes with the manufacturer’s material warranty, which varies by brand and product line, plus our 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. That’s a one-year workmanship guarantee covering our installation. If something fails because of our work, we come back and fix it free. It’s not a verbal promise; it’s on paper.
