Roof Replacement in McKinney and Collin County
Typical house, asphalt shingle: $8,000 to $16,000
A roof gets replaced when repairing it stops making sense: hail bruising on every slope, shingles worn bald, a deck going soft in several places, or two layers already on and a leak in the second one. The photos from the inspection show which one it is. If one section is bad and the rest is sound, you will hear that it is a repair.
What a full replacement includes
- Permit pulled through your city.
- Tear-off of every layer down to the deck, with the yard and beds protected.
- Deck check sheet by sheet. Soft, delaminated or rotted decking is replaced at the per-sheet price on the estimate.
- Drip edge at the eaves and rakes.
- Underlayment: ice and water membrane in the valleys and around penetrations, synthetic underlayment over the rest.
- Starter strip at the eaves and rakes so the first course seals.
- Flashing: new step flashing at walls, new pipe boots, chimney flashing reset or replaced, kick-out flashing where it is missing.
- Shingles nailed in the manufacturer's zone with the right nail count, so the warranty holds.
- Ventilation: ridge vent or box vents sized to the attic, with intake at the soffits.
- Ridge cap, cleanup, a magnet sweep, and the final city inspection.
Choosing the shingle
Architectural laminated shingles are the standard on most homes now. Impact-rated shingles cost more per square and hold up better to hail. Metal and stone-coated steel cost more again. The estimate lists each option side by side.
Impact-rated shingles are tested under UL 2218, and the Texas Department of Insurance notes that a Class 4 roof, the top rating, gets the largest credit where an insurer offers one. Each company sets its own discount, so call your agent before you pick the shingle. After the job the roofer fills out TDI form PC068 or your insurer's own form, and in September 2026 TDI urged insurers to offer real premium discounts for impact-resistant roofs.
Permits and the HOA
A full re-roof needs a city permit in most of Collin County. Wylie lists residential roofing replacement among the work that requires one, Frisco charges $150 for a reroof permit on its fee schedule effective October 1, 2026, and McKinney's building department publishes its own roof permit packet. Patching a leak or replacing a few shingles usually needs none, and the roofer confirms with your city and pulls the permit before the tear-off.
About a third of Texas homes sit in a community association, and in Collin County's master-planned subdivisions it is most of them, with a committee that approves shingle style and color before a re-roof. Texas Property Code section 202.011 stops an association from banning shingles designed for wind and hail resistance, better heating and cooling efficiency or solar generation, as long as they resemble the approved shingles, are more durable and at least equal in quality, and match the look of the street. You get the product sheet and a color sample for the submission.
What it costs
A full tear-off and asphalt shingle roof on a typical house is $8,000 to $16,000. Size, pitch, layers to remove, decking and the shingle line move it inside that range. Impact-rated shingles and metal sit above it. When the replacement is part of a storm claim, the estimate is written to match the insurer's line items, and the deductible is yours to pay.
