Why Ridgeline Roofing Co. of Dallas Is Richland Hills’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
We’ve replaced roofs on Timberline Drive, Garden Springs, and along Boulevard 26 in Richland Hills enough times that we can spot the plank sheathing before we even pull the shingles. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team has handled dozens of jobs in this one-square-mile city, and the pattern is consistent: 1950s ranch, low-slope gable, original 1×6 boards underneath two or three generations of 3-tab shingles. Richland Hills homeowners don’t need a sales pitch. They need someone who won’t act surprised when the decking crumbles.
Clint Harwell has run Ridgeline Roofing Co. since day one, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something’s not right, we come back. No forms to file, no phone tag. We stand behind it - no paperwork, no arguing. Our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, including the middle of a storm when the out-of-town crews are already packing for the next city. Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and every inspection gets photo documentation from your actual roof, not a driveway conversation.
We’re not the cheapest bid you’ll get after a hail event. We’re the bid from a company that plans to be in Dallas in thirty years, hiring local apprentices into journeymen, not chasing the next storm cell to Oklahoma.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Richland Hills
Full Roof Replacement
A full roof replacement in Richland Hills almost always means more than new shingles. Because the city’s housing stock is almost entirely 1950s-1960s tract homes with original board sheathing, we budget for deck repair on nearly every tear-off. We recently replaced the roof on a 1950s ranch-style home on Timberline Drive in Richland Hills. When we stripped the old layered 3-tab shingles, we found rotted 1×6 plank sheathing from a prior unrepaired hail leak. We sourced GAF Timberline HDZ shingles (Class H impact resistant) and replaced all damaged deck boards with 7/16 OSB, upgrading the home’s wind load capacity to meet current code before the next spring storm season. Done right - and if it’s not, we make it right.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt remains the practical choice for most Richland Hills homes, but we don’t install entry-grade 3-tab on a full replacement anymore. The northeast Tarrant County hail corridor demands better. We specify architectural or impact-rated laminate shingles from Atlas and Tamko, brands that hold granules through our brutal summer UV cycles. A typical asphalt replacement on a 1,400-square-foot Richland Hills ranch runs $8,500-$14,000, including the deck work we know we’ll find. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Metal Roofing
Metal makes sense for Richland Hills homeowners who’ve replaced their roof twice already and want to stop. Standing seam or quality screw-down panels from Boral handle hail better than asphalt, reflect heat, and outlast the stacked shingle jobs common in this zip code. Metal runs $14,000-$28,000 installed, depending on gauge and whether we’re replacing plank sheathing with solid decking first. We will be there when we say, and most metal jobs finish in three to four days.
New Construction
Richland Hills is fully built-out, so new construction roofing here is mostly additions, ADUs, or teardown-rebuilds on the few remaining lots. We coordinate with Tarrant County inspectors and local framers to spec proper underlayment and ice-and-water shield at eaves - something the original 1950s builders skipped, and something we correct on every neighboring full replacement we touch.

Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Richland Hills Homes
- Unrepaired hail damage to original plank sheathing leads to hidden rot. Water gets past damaged shingles, soaks the 1×6 or 1×8 boards, and the decay isn’t visible until tear-off. Homeowners get quoted for shingles and find they’re paying for deck replacement too. We catch this early with our photo-documented inspections, so the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.
- Multiple stacked 3-tab re-roofs without full tear-offs create uneven surfaces. We’ve stripped roofs in Richland Hills with three layers of shingles. Each layer adds weight and prevents proper sealant adhesion. The result: blow-offs in high winds, and a roof that fails before its warranty period. We don’t install over more than one layer, and we prefer a clean deck.
- Low-slope roofs on older homes lack proper underlayment at eaves. The original builders didn’t always install ice-and-water shield. During Tarrant County supercell storms, wind-driven rain pushes up under the shingles and rots the fascia and soffit from behind. We correct this on every full replacement.
- Storm-chaser crews descend immediately after any significant hail event. Because Richland Hills is barely one square mile with uniform housing age, a single storm puts the whole city’s roof inventory in play. Out-of-town contractors knock every door, sign every homeowner they can, and vanish. We urge Richland Hills residents to vet any contractor against Tarrant County permit records before signing. We’ve been at our Dallas address since 1984. You can find us.

FAQs - Roof Replacement & Installation in Richland Hills
Because nearly all Richland Hills homes built between the 1940s and 1960s have original 1×6 or 1×8 plank sheathing rather than modern plywood, the boards are often rotted from prior unrepaired hail leaks by the time we strip the shingles. We find soft or compromised decking on the majority of our Richland Hills tear-offs. We replace damaged boards with 7/16 OSB to current code, and we include this possibility in our upfront estimate so you’re not surprised mid-job. Call (888) 309-8379 for a free inspection - we’ll show you the photos from your actual attic and roof.
Tarrant County requires roofing materials rated for 110 mph wind uplift, which matches the International Residential Code for this region. We specify Class H impact-rated shingles or equivalent metal systems on every Richland Hills job, and we install to manufacturer specifications for wind warranty coverage. That means six nails per shingle in wind zones, proper starter strip placement, and sealed valleys. If your contractor isn’t talking about nail pattern and uplift rating, they’re not talking about code. Call (888) 309-8379 and we’ll walk you through what’s on your house now versus what should be.
Yes. Tarrant County handles permitting for Richland Hills, and a roof replacement requires a building permit with deck inspection. We pull permits on every job, schedule the county inspector, and don’t collect final payment until sign-off. Some storm-chaser crews skip this step or ask homeowners to pull the permit themselves. That’s a red flag. Our 42 years in this market means we know the Tarrant County inspection schedule and don’t leave you in permit limbo. Call (888) 309-8379 - we handle the paperwork.
No. We won’t install over more than one existing layer, and we strongly prefer a clean deck. Three layers exceeds the structural load the original 1950s trusses were designed for, and the uneven surface prevents proper sealant adhesion. We’ve stripped triple-layer roofs in Richland Hills and found crushed plank sheathing underneath. The right fix is full tear-off, deck repair as needed, and a single proper roofing system. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what’s under there. Free estimates: (888) 309-8379.
Within the same season, ideally before the next severe weather cycle. Hail damage cracks shingles and displaces granules, and the Texas summer sun bakes the exposed asphalt. Wait too long and you’re looking at sheathing rot, interior water damage, and a more expensive job. We offer 24/7 live-answer phones and can usually inspect within 24-48 hours of a storm event. Because Richland Hills is so small, a single hailstorm can flood the area with out-of-town contractors. Get your inspection from a company that’s been in Dallas since 1984. Call (888) 309-8379.
