Roofing & Solar in Fort Worth, Texas

Licensed, certified, and actually local. Free inspections across Fort Worth and Tarrant County — available 24/7.

NTX Solar & Construction has been putting roofs on North Texas homes for over twenty years. In Fort Worth, that means knowing Tarrant County's permit desk, knowing which storms actually hit which neighborhoods, and knowing the difference between a roof that needs replacing and one that needs a $300 repair.

Cowtown. Panther City. Funkytown. Fort Worth is the seat of Tarrant County and spills over into Denton, Johnson, Parker and Wise counties — the 11th largest city in the country, and the one that takes the first hit when a supercell comes off the Parker County line.

Hail and storm history in Fort Worth

Fort Worth is on the western edge of the metroplex, which puts it at the leading edge of storms organizing out of Parker and Wise counties. Fort Worth usually takes the day's first hit, not the tail end.

  • On record 227 hail reports within ten miles since 2004
  • Largest stone 3.00"
  • Peak season April, with 100 reports — more than double any other month

Storms Fort Worth homeowners remember

  • May 5, 1995 — the Mayfest storm — softball-size hail onto 10,000 people at an outdoor festival. Over 400 injuries, 60 hospitalized, and roughly $2 billion in damage. It held the record as Texas’ costliest hailstorm for two decades
  • April 24–29, 2026 — six straight days of severe weather — 226 hail reports, 37 severe wind reports, 11 confirmed tornadoes, and flash flooding with water rescues in Tarrant County
  • April 26, 2026 — 2.75" baseball-plus hail in River Oaks and 2.50" in White Settlement

The Fort Worth housing stock — and what it means for your roof

  • Population 1,028,117
  • Median year built 1994
  • Median home value $303,000
  • Owner-occupied 57.0%
  • Single-family homes 242,351

242,351 single-family detached homes — by far the largest pool of roofs in our service area, and the lowest median home value of the ten cities at $303,000. Fort Worth is a value market with a genuine volume of pre-1960 historic stock that needs a roofer who has actually worked on plank decking before.

Neighborhoods we work in around Fort Worth

  • Fairmount — one of the largest collections of craftsman bungalows in Texas
  • Ryan Place, Mistletoe Heights and Berkeley Place
  • Arlington Heights, Monticello, Crestline and North Hi Mount
  • Crestwood — 1920s and '30s original craftsman
  • Tanglewood, Westcliff, Park Hill and University Place near TCU
  • Wedgwood, South Hills and Candleridge — mid-century ranch
  • Ridglea, Ridglea Hills and Ridgmar
  • Mira Vista, Montserrat and Bellaire Park North
  • Walsh and the Parks of Aledo on the west side
  • Oakhurst and Como

Fort Worth's housing stock is genuinely split in two. Nearly 19% of it was built before 1960 — the Near Southside and Westside historic districts, often with plank decking and historic-district review to work around. Another 43% went up after 2000 out toward Alliance, far south and far west. Those two jobs could not be more different, and we quote them differently.

Fort Worth roofing permits — what's actually required

Here's something most Fort Worth homeowners don't know: the City does not require a building permit for a shingle-only re-roof. The moment any decking, lathing, sheathing, rafters or ridge boards get replaced, a permit is required — and on a storm-damaged roof that happens more often than not.

When a permit is required, the applicant has to be a registered building contractor ($168.75/year). Fort Worth doesn't have a separate roofing category — roofing falls under building contractor. Be careful with anyone who tells you “no permit needed” before they've even looked at your decking.

City of Fort Worth permit information →  ·  Texas does not license roofing contractors at the state level. Requirements are set city by city, which is exactly why the permit rules below differ so much from one suburb to the next.

We pull the permit. You should never be asked to pull your own permit so the contractor doesn't have to register. That shifts the liability to you.

Solar in Fort Worth: the local facts

Fort Worth is served by Oncor, and sits in the deregulated Texas retail market — Oncor delivers the power, and you choose your retail provider. That matters for solar because Texas has no statewide net metering mandate. What you're paid for exported power is a feature of the plan you pick, not a guarantee. We'll show you which providers currently offer a real buyback before you commit to a system size.

Oncor does run incentive programs for solar paired with battery storage through approved participating providers. Oncor publishes eligibility rules but does not publish dollar amounts publicly — so we won't quote you a number we can't stand behind. We'll confirm what's actually available for your address and system before it goes in your proposal.

Most of Fort Worth is Oncor territory, but Tri-County Electric Cooperative serves parts of northern Tarrant County. We verify the actual delivery utility by address before we discuss any utility program — especially on the Alliance side.

Before you sign anything solar in 2026

Important 2026 update: the 30% federal residential clean energy credit (Section 25D) expired for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. Any contractor still advertising “30% off from the federal government” on a cash or financed home solar purchase in 2026 is quoting a credit that no longer exists. Third-party owned structures (lease/PPA) are treated differently under Section 48E. We'll walk you through what actually applies to your situation — and we'll tell you to talk to your tax advisor before you sign anything.

Fort Worth roofing & solar updates

Updated August 25, 2026 for Fort Worth homeowners.

Why Fort Worth attics run hot — and what it's costing you

A poorly ventilated attic in a Fort Worth summer can reach 150°F. That heat does three things, all of them expensive:

  • It cooks your shingles from underneath. Asphalt shingles are rated on the assumption that the deck can breathe. Trapped heat ages them from the back side, and it is the single most common reason a 30-year shingle fails at eighteen.
  • It voids warranties. Most manufacturers require a specific intake-to-exhaust ventilation ratio. If yours isn't met, the warranty language usually gives them an out.
  • It drives your electric bill. Your A/C is fighting a 150-degree heat source sitting directly above your ceiling.

The fix is usually cheaper than people expect and it is almost always about intake, not exhaust. Homes get more roof vents added over the years while the soffit intake stays blocked with insulation or paint — which means the new vents just pull conditioned air out of the house. We check the balance, not just the vent count.

Solar panels and your roof warranty in Fort Worth

Mounting an array means putting dozens of penetrations through a roof you just paid for. In Fort Worth that raises two questions worth settling in writing before anything gets drilled.

Who warranties the penetrations? If your roofer did the roof and a different company mounts the panels, you now have two contractors who can each point at the other when a leak appears at a mount. Getting both from one company eliminates that argument entirely — which is a large part of why we do both trades.

What happens when the roof needs work later? Panels have to come off and go back on. Know the cost of removal and reinstall now, before you sign, and get it in the contract.

Also: flashed mounts, not sealant-dependent mounts. A mount that relies on a bead of sealant to stay watertight is relying on something with a shorter life than your roof.

What that warranty on your Fort Worth roof actually covers

"Lifetime warranty" is on almost every Fort Worth roofing flyer, and it almost never means what people think.

There are two separate warranties on your roof:

1. The manufacturer's material warranty. Covers defects in the shingle itself. Real, but manufacturing defects are rare — most roof failures are installation or ventilation problems, which this does not cover. "Lifetime" typically means a full-value period of ten years or so, then prorated coverage declining to very little. And it's usually conditional on the ventilation spec being met and on the roof being installed by an approved contractor.

2. The contractor's workmanship warranty. Covers the installation. This is the one that matters, and it's worth exactly as much as the company standing behind it. A five-year workmanship warranty from a company that's been here for years beats a lifetime warranty from a phone number that stops working.

Ask for both in writing. Ask what voids each one.

We actually work here

We're not a call center routing your job to whoever answers. Here's the Fort Worth our crews drive past every week:

  • The Fort Worth Stockyards and the Stockyards Championship Rodeo
  • The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo every January and February at Dickies Arena
  • Sundance Square downtown
  • The Cultural District — the Kimbell, the Modern, the Amon Carter
  • TCU Horned Frogs football on a fall Saturday
  • Panther City — the nickname is old enough that the pro lacrosse team took it
  • Mayfest — which in this town means something very specific to anyone who was here in 1995

We also serve Arlington, Keller, North Richland Hills, Benbrook, Saginaw, White Settlement, Crowley and Aledo.
