Roof Replacement in Flower Mound
A full replacement takes the roof down to the wood deck and builds it back up. On a 1990s house that may be the second time it has been done, or the first.
In Brief
A replacement means tear-off, deck repair where needed, underlayment, new flashing, shingles and vents.
About 40 percent of Flower Mound homes date from the 1990s, so a great many roofs here have reached replacement age within the same few years.
If yours was replaced after the June 11, 2023 hailstorm, this page is probably not the one you need. Try roof inspections.
What the Job Consists Of
A contractor's crew usually works in this order:
- Tear-off. Old shingles, underlayment and flashing come off and go into a trailer in the driveway.
- Deck check. With the plywood or board decking exposed, soft, delaminated or stained sheets are replaced. This is the one cost nobody can know before tear-off, so ask how it is priced per sheet.
- Underlayment. A synthetic sheet over the whole deck, with self-adhering membrane commonly used in valleys and around penetrations.
- Metal. Drip edge at the eaves and rakes, new step flashing where roof meets wall, new pipe boots, and valley metal if the design calls for it.
- Shingles and ridge. Starter course, field shingles nailed to the manufacturer's pattern, hip and ridge caps.
- Ventilation. Ridge vent or box vents matched to the intake at the soffits. See attic ventilation.
- Cleanup. Magnet sweep of the lawn, beds and driveway for nails.
Two-story houses with several hips, valleys and dormers take longer than a simple gable roof, because every change of direction is cut and flashed by hand.
The 1990s Question
Flower Mound grew from about 15,500 people in 1990 to 50,702 in 2000. Houses framed in that decade are now roughly twenty-five to thirty-five years old. A shingle roof from then that was never replaced is very old for this climate, and one that was replaced once in the 2000s or 2010s may be coming due again.
Then there is 2023. If the roof was replaced after that June's hail, it is young. If you bought the house since and do not know, the storm page lists where to look for a date.

What a Written Quote Should Say
- The shingle by manufacturer, product line and color, and its impact class if it has one.
- The underlayment type, and where self-adhering membrane goes.
- Whether all flashing and pipe boots are replaced or reused. Reused flashing is a common shortcut.
- The price per sheet for replacing bad decking.
- How many vents come off and what goes back.
- Who obtains the town permit, if one is required. One local real estate guide from October 2025 lists roof replacement among the jobs that need a Flower Mound permit; confirm with the town.
- The warranty on materials and the separate warranty on labor, in writing.
- A certificate of general liability insurance.
Texas does not license roofing contractors. This site also stays out of insurance: it does not file, negotiate, adjust or settle claims. If a policy is involved, that part is between you and your insurer.
Questions on This Page
How long does a replacement take?
Many single-family roofs are torn off and re-covered in one to three working days once materials are on site. Steep, cut-up two-story roofs take longer, and so does any job where a lot of decking has to be replaced.
Can new shingles go over the old ones?
Some codes allow a second layer in some cases, but it hides the deck from inspection, adds weight and usually shortens the life of the new layer. Most contractors here will quote a tear-off. Ask the town what it permits.
Do I have to be home?
Not for the whole job, but be reachable. The deck check after tear-off is when a contractor may need a decision from you about extra sheets.
