Frequently Asked Questions

Answers from our Carrollton-based roofing & exterior team. For anything not covered here, call 833-ANY-ROOF or contact us.

Roofing

What’s included in a full residential roofing system?

A complete system includes tear-off, deck inspection/repairs, synthetic underlayment, ice/water barrier in vulnerable areas, premium shingles with factory ridge caps, code-compliant flashing, and balanced attic ventilation—plus optional gutter integration. Learn more about our process on the roof installation page.

How long does a roof installation take in the DFW area?

Most homes are completed in 1–2 days once materials are on site. Complexity, weather, and deck repairs can add time. We’ll give you a schedule up front and keep you posted daily.

Do you offer free roof inspections and estimates?

Yes. We provide a free, no-obligation inspection with photos and an itemized estimate. Call 833-ANY-ROOF or request your appointment.

Do you install specific shingle brands?

We install leading manufacturers—Atlas, GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed—and recommend the best fit for your budget, style, and performance goals.

How do I choose between roof repair and replacement?

If damage is localized (a small leak or a few lifted shingles), repair is often best. Widespread granule loss, repeated leaks, or an older roof may justify replacement. See our roof repair guide or book an inspection.

Insurance & Storms

What should I do after hail or wind damage?

Document what you see safely from the ground, then schedule our free inspection. We’ll photograph damage, protect openings if needed, and advise whether a claim is appropriate.

Do you meet with my insurance adjuster?

Yes. We coordinate with your adjuster, provide documentation, and help align the scope to code and manufacturer requirements—so your home gets fully restored.

How long do I have to file a roof claim in Texas?

Policies vary, but many carriers allow up to a year from the storm date. File promptly and keep all documentation. Our team can help you navigate next steps.

Can you provide temporary protection if I have an active leak?

Yes—our crews can deploy emergency tarping to prevent further damage, then schedule permanent repairs as soon as possible.

Solar

Will solar panels void my roof warranty?

No. Because we handle roofing and solar together, we mount systems to manufacturer and code standards so roof warranties remain intact. See our solar page for details.

Do you install battery storage with solar?

Yes—home battery options provide backup power and help optimize energy use. We’ll size storage based on usage and goals.

How many solar panels does a typical DFW home need?

Most homes require 15–25 panels depending on roof size, shade, and electricity usage. We design to your needs and budget.

Gutters

Do I need new gutters with a new roof?

Not always. If your existing system is undersized, damaged, or poorly sloped, we’ll recommend replacement. We install seamless systems sized for Texas downpours. Learn more on our gutters page.

What are gutter guards and do they work?

Gutter guards help keep leaves and debris out, reducing maintenance. The right product depends on your trees and roof pitch—we’ll recommend options during your estimate.

Windows

Will energy-efficient windows really lower bills?

In Texas, modern low-E, double-pane windows can significantly reduce heat gain and improve comfort. Results vary by home and exposure—see our windows page.

How long does window replacement take?

Most 10–15 window projects take 1–2 days depending on access and trim work. We protect interiors and clean up thoroughly.

Painting

What prep is included with exterior painting?

Power washing, scraping, sanding, caulking, spot-priming, and masking for clean lines. We use coatings rated for North Texas weather. More on our painting page.

Do you offer low-VOC interior paint options?

Yes—we offer low-VOC paints for healthier indoor air quality with durable finishes.

Fences

Which fence materials last longest in Texas?

Cedar with metal posts performs well for privacy fencing. Aluminum and vinyl provide long life with lower maintenance. See options on our fences page.

Do you handle staining or sealing?

Yes—oil or water-based stains and clear sealers to protect against sun and moisture, with a recommended re-coat schedule.

Warranties & Maintenance

What warranties come with a Lioncraft roof?

Manufacturer material warranties vary by system, and Lioncraft backs workmanship with a lifetime labor warranty. We’ll review coverage details with your estimate.

How often should I schedule roof maintenance?

Have your roof checked annually and after major storms. Proactive repairs extend service life and preserve warranty eligibility.

Are you based in Carrollton, TX?
