Fast, Reliable Roofing Company Across University Park
Roofing in University Park is different from roofing anywhere else in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro. The homes here were built with materials most roofers never touch anymore: Vermont slate, clay tile, copper flashing, and heavy wood shake on steep gables and complex rooflines. We work those roofs every week. Our crews know the difference between a 1920s Colonial Revival on University Boulevard and a newer infill build near Caruth Park, and we quote every job the same way: the price goes on paper before any work starts, and it does not move at the door. If you need a roofer in University Park who understands what your house actually needs, call (903) 499-4441 for a free estimate.
Why Brennan Roofing Co Dallas Is University Park’s Preferred Roofing Company
Travis Oakley leads our team, and the standard he holds every job to is named and written down. We call it the Garrison Standard: background-checked, uniformed technicians who show up inside the promised window, a written price before work begins, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair and installation. Here in University Park, where homeowners have had their trust burned by no-show crews and door-step price changes, that accountability is what gets us called back.
Our University Park customers tell us the same thing: they wanted a roofer who answers the phone with a live person, explains what the flashing actually does in plain English, and leaves the job site clean. That is what we do. We are part of the Garrison Partners family, founded in 2000, and while every location is independently owned, the standard is identical. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s Dallas-Fort Worth office, and our crews serve University Park locally.
Styles & brands we work with
Commercial Roofing in University Park
Commercial Roofing in University Park has its own set of demands. The commercial properties here, from the retail strips along Hillcrest Avenue to the multi-family and institutional buildings near SMU, sit on rooflines that need flat and low-slope systems: TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. These are not steep-slope shingle jobs. They need proper insulation, code-compliant drainage, and crews who can stage materials without disrupting tenants or traffic.
Flat and Low-Slope Systems for University Park Properties
A flat commercial roof in University Park runs roughly $7 to $12 per square foot installed, depending on the membrane and the condition of the existing decking. We inspect for ponding water, failed seams, and deteriorated flashing around HVAC curbs and skylights. On older commercial buildings near Mockingbird Lane, the biggest failure point is usually the metal edge detail, not the membrane itself.
What a Commercial Roof Inspection Covers
Every commercial inspection we do in University Park includes a written report with photos, a line-item repair or replacement quote, and clear notes on the remaining service life of the current roof. If the roof needs replacement, we specify materials from GAF, IKO, and Atlas with wind ratings that meet current North Texas code. The price is in writing before we order anything.
Metal Roof Installation in University Park
Metal Roof Installation in University Park is a growing option for homeowners who want a roof that outlasts the hailstorms. Standing seam metal, the most common choice here, runs $14 to $22 per square foot installed on a typical University Park home. That is higher than architectural shingles, which run $5.50 to $8 per square foot, but the metal roof will likely be the last one that house ever needs. For the 1920s and 1930s homes, metal can also be specified in profiles and colors that respect the original architecture instead of fighting it.
Standing Seam and Stone-Coated Steel Options
Where a homeowner is replacing a failing original roof and wants durability without a visibly modern look, we often spec stone-coated steel from Boral or IKO. It gives the impact resistance of metal with the visual weight of clay or heavy shake. On a Tudor or Spanish Eclectic, that difference matters. The neighborhood character in University Park is part of the property value.
Hail-Resistant Materials That Match the Block
North Texas hail is not going away. A standing seam roof with a Class 4 impact rating can also reduce insurance premiums, and in University Park, where premiums on architect-built homes run high, that is real money. We walk every homeowner through the material options plainly so they can choose with confidence, and the price is fixed in writing before we order the panels.
Trusted Brands We Service in University Park
We install and service materials from Atlas, IKO, Boral, and the other leading manufacturer lines, which means we can match materials that are already on your roof or specify the right upgrade for a replacement. For University Park customers, that matters because so many of these homes carry proprietary or era-specific profiles. We keep relationships with local suppliers who stock what our crews need quickly, and when a repair calls for a specific tile or shingle match, we source it before we schedule the work. No surprise substitutions.

AfterCommon Roofing Problems We See in University Park Homes
- Hidden copper flashing corrosion on slate roofs from the 1920s. The slate can have decades of life left while the flashing behind the chimney or along a valley silently fails. We find it before you see a ceiling stain.
- Hail-damaged clay tile that gets quoted for full replacement when half the roof only needs tile matching. We inventory the field tiles, match them, and replace only what is broken. That is a repair bill, not a five-figure replacement.
- Mismatched drip edge and fascia profiles on Colonial Revivals. A modern metal edge on a 1930s facade stands out immediately, and University Park HOAs notice. We custom-fabricate or source profiles that match the original lines.
- Improperly re-nailed shingle roofs that lose their wind rating. On additions or replacements, the nailing pattern has to match the manufacturer’s spec or the 130 mph wind rating is void. We verify it on every single job.
Pricing for Roofing Company in University Park, TX
Here on the page is what University Park homeowners should expect to plan for. Architectural shingle replacement on a standard University Park home runs $5.50 to $8 per square foot. Standing seam metal runs $14 to $22 per square foot. Targeted slate or clay tile repair, including flashing work, typically runs $1,200 to $4,500 depending on the access and the extent of hidden decking damage. A full slate or clay tile replacement on a large original home starts around $40,000 and goes up with custom fabrication. The biggest cost swings on this tier are material lead times and the condition of the decking we cannot see until the old roof comes off. That is exactly why we put the price in writing before any work starts, with a line-item scope so you know what you are approving. Call (903) 499-4441 to schedule your free estimate.
One thing worth saying plainly: University Park’s 1920s slate roofs were often installed with original copper flashings that have outlasted the slate itself, so our most common call is not replacement. It is identifying and repairing hidden corroded flashings before a leak ever shows on the ceiling. When a contractor tells you the whole roof is done, ask them to show you the flashing condition first. We will. The Roofing Company in University Park work we do usually saves the roof, and the money stays in your pocket.
On a 1930s Tudor on Haynie Avenue, our crew matched a missing section of Vermont slate, rebuilt the original copper step flashing at a chimney, and replaced rotted decking below the valleys, all while protecting the homeowner’s mature live oaks. Because the architectural shingles we specified on a separate addition were GAF Timberline HDZ, we re-created the nailing pattern to keep the 130 mph wind rating intact. That is what discipline looks like on a University Park roof.
Local failure modes are real and expensive. Pushing full replacement of a 90-year-old slate roof that only needs targeted flashing repair destroys curb appeal and wastes serious money. Substituting architectural shingles for original clay tile without disclosing the change in roof weight, drainage, and historic character is not a service, it is a downgrade. Failing to match the custom drip edge and fascia profiles on 1920s Colonial Revivals leaves a visibly modern picture frame around the eaves that draws HOA attention. The Roofing Company team that works these streets knows the difference, and our written standard holds every job to it.

FAQs About Roofing Company in University Park
We match slate by color, size, thickness, and quarry source. Vermont slate from the 1920s has a specific texture and weathering pattern, and we source from suppliers who carry the same dimensions. The patina difference between a 90-year-old slate and a new one will mellow, but we also blend the new pieces by pulling slate from less visible slopes and reusing it where it shows. The repair should be invisible at street level. Call (903) 499-4441 and we will put eyes on the roof and give you a written quote.
In most cases, a clay tile roof can be repaired, not replaced. We inventory the field tiles, identify how many are cracked or broken, and match them from the original manufacturer or a compatible line we carry through Boral and IKO. Hail on tile rarely damages the entire roof. What often gets overlooked is the underlayment below the tile, and a proper repair means checking that layer, not just swapping tiles. We give you the repair scope and the replacement scope side by side, in writing, so you decide on the numbers, not a pitch.
Copper flashing failure is the number one hidden problem we find on University Park’s original slate and tile roofs. The slate itself can last 75 to 100 years, but the copper at the chimney, valleys, and wall intersections corrodes over decades. By the time water reaches your ceiling, the flashing has usually been failing for a season or more. We inspect the flashing condition as a standard part of any University Park roof visit, and we show you photos of what we found. A free estimate includes that inspection.
Yes, in most cases. University Park enforces building codes that require permits for roof replacement, and many neighborhoods have their own architectural review guidelines that govern materials, colors, and profiles. This is not optional paperwork. We handle the permit application and work with the HOA’s standards from the first quote, because a roof that violates the neighborhood’s rules will cost you more to correct than to do right the first time. We pull permits and pass inspections as a standard part of every replacement.
Long lead times are not labor delays, they are material and fabrication delays, and we are candid about that from the first estimate. Custom slate, clay tile, and copper flashing for a University Park home can run 6 to 12 weeks depending on the supplier. We lock the material order as soon as you approve the written price, and we do not start tear-off until the materials are in our hands. That sequencing protects your home from sitting exposed, and the price we wrote on day one is the price you pay on installation day. Call (903) 499-4441 to start with a free estimate.
