Multi-family and HOA roofing in Dallas

Twenty buildings, one storm, one insurance claim and a board that meets monthly. Multi-family roofing is a scheduling job as much as a roofing job.

Quick answer

Multi-family and HOA roofing in Dallas is scoped building by building: each roof is inspected and photographed, the scope lists every slope, and the replacement is phased so no resident loses parking or access for more than a day. We handle shingle, metal and low-slope roofs across a community under one contract, with a single point of contact for the board or manager.

The job

Roofing a community instead of a house

An apartment complex or townhome HOA has the same roof problems as a house, multiplied and shared. One hail storm hits every building the same way, the claim covers the whole property, and the board is deciding for owners who will never see the roof.

So the work starts with a document: a per-building condition report with photos, which becomes the claim scope, the bid package and the phasing plan. Then each building is torn off and dried in the same day, in an order the manager approves.

Budget

What sets the price on a community roofing project

Multi-family work is priced per square across the property; these factors move the bid.

  • Total squares

    Volume lowers the per-square rate; a hundred squares is priced differently from two thousand.

  • Building count and access

    Many small buildings cost more per square than a few large ones.

  • Material

    Class 4 shingles, metal or TPO on flat sections change the number most.

  • Decking allowance

    Older communities carry a higher per-sheet allowance.

  • Phasing

    A single mobilization is cheaper than five.

  • Claim scope

    Insurance-funded projects are priced to the adjuster's scope plus supplements.

  • Resident logistics

    Notices, parking control and daily cleanup are built in, not extra.

Phasing plan for a multi-building roofing project

Apartment complex re-roofs

Garden-style apartments usually have a dozen or more identical buildings, which lets the crew move fast once the first building sets the pattern for the rest. We stage dumpsters and material per building so no parking lot is blocked for the whole project, notify residents forty-eight hours ahead by notice and text, and finish each building before the next starts. Carports and breezeway roofs are scoped separately because they are often a different material, and because the last contractor often skipped them entirely.

Townhome and condo communities

Attached units share a continuous roof but separate owners, so the scope has to be written per unit even when the work is continuous. We photograph each address, note which slopes were damaged, and keep the tear-off line at a party wall each day so no unit is left open over a neighbor. Skylights, satellite dishes and solar panels on individual units are handled with that owner directly rather than through the board, and noted unit by unit in the scope.

HOA bid packages

A board needs three comparable bids, and bids are only comparable when every bidder prices exactly the same scope. We supply a written scope with per-building square counts, material and underlayment specs, decking allowance, flashing details and warranty terms, so the other bids can be checked against it line by line by anyone on the board. We will present the package at a board meeting, walk through the phasing, and answer questions from owners who want to know what they are paying for.

Phased replacements

Not every community can fund every roof at once. We rank the buildings by condition, replace the worst ones first, and schedule the rest across the quarters or years the budget allows, while keeping the older roofs repaired and claim-ready. Each phase carries the same shingle, underlayment and flashing details so the community ends up with one roof system instead of five, and the warranty paperwork is filed per building as each phase closes so the board has a complete record.

Roofing in Dallas

What we see on Dallas roofs

DFW averages one significant hail event a year that generates roof damage across the whole metroplex, and after a large one the demand spike tightens contractor availability for months. For a community that means the roofs get inspected and documented the week of the storm, before the claim window and the crew calendar both fill. The Dallas insurance timeline of roughly three to four weeks from inspection to completion on a single home stretches on a multi-building property, so the phasing plan is written around the adjuster's schedule, not ours.

    Per-building squares, materials and details in writing for the board.

  3. Claim support

    Storm damage documented; adjuster met on the roofs; supplements filed.

  4. Phasing plan

    Building order, dates and parking plan approved by the manager.

  5. Resident notice

    Forty-eight hour notices per building, with a contact number.

  6. Tear-off and dry-in

  7. Closeout

    Permit inspections closed, warranty documents and photos delivered per building.

Timeline

How long a community re-roof takes

A garden-style building is torn off and finished in one to two days, so a twelve-building property runs three to four weeks of roofing with the crew moving daily. Townhome rows go by party wall, a few units a day. Add the claim timeline in front of that; the phasing plan sets dates only once the adjuster's scope is agreed.
