Roof repair and replacement in Plano
Plano sits seventeen miles north of downtown Dallas, in one of the most hail-reported corridors in the Metroplex, and it is one of the few cities around here that inspects the attic as part of every re-roof permit.

Quick answer
Penfold Construction repairs and replaces roofs across Plano from its Dallas service office. The City of Plano requires a roof permit on re-roofs larger than a quarter of the roof, with a final inspection that includes the attic, so we pull the permit, reconnect every vent, and document hail damage slope by slope when a storm is the reason for the work.
Plano
A city that inspects the attic, not just the shingles
Plano's building inspections department requires a roof permit on re-roof projects, and work covering no more than 25 percent of the roof is exempt. The final roof inspection goes into the attic to confirm the vent piping comes through the roof, the rafters are in position, and the water heater and air conditioning exhaust vents have been reinstalled.
Those are the details a rushed crew misses, and they are the ones that cause trouble later: a disconnected water heater flue is a safety problem, not a cosmetic one. On a Plano re-roof we reconnect every vent, replace the ventilation that needs it, and leave the attic ready for the inspector. Where an old roof is wood shake, slate or tile, the city requires it to come off before new roofing goes on.
Storm record
One of the most hail-reported corridors in North Texas
Storm records show more than 220 hail reports within ten miles of central Plano since 2004. In 2016 alone there were 26, with stones up to about 4.25 inches; in 2026, golf ball-size hail fell around the city on April 27, among a dozen reports by late May.
With that frequency, many Plano roofs have been replaced more than once. When the next storm comes, we inspect each slope, photograph the hits and the dented vents, and price Class 4 shingles alongside standard ones so the next replacement is less likely.
