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 October 19, 2026 for Fort Worth homeowners.

Reading a Fort Worth roofing estimate line by line

Two bids on the same Fort Worth roof can differ by thousands, and the difference is almost never the shingle. It's what's in — or missing from — these lines:

  • Decking. Is replacement included, or priced per sheet as an extra? Both are legitimate; only one is a surprise on the invoice.
  • Underlayment. Synthetic or felt? What weight?
  • Ice and water shield in valleys and around penetrations.
  • Drip edge. Required by code in several of the cities we work in. If it isn't on the estimate, ask.
  • New pipe boots, new flashing, new vents — or reusing the old ones.
  • Ventilation. Is anyone correcting the intake/exhaust balance, or just putting back what was there?
  • Cleanup and magnet sweep, and how many times.
  • The workmanship warranty — its length, and who backs it.

Ask both bidders to price the same scope. Then the number means something.

Repair or replace: how we decide on a Fort Worth roof

We'd rather repair your Fort Worth roof than sell you one you don't need. Here's the actual decision framework:

Repair usually makes sense when the roof is under about fifteen years old, the damage is localized to one slope or one detail, the shingles are still pliable, and you can still source a reasonable color match.

Replacement usually makes sense when the shingles have lost significant granule coverage across multiple slopes, tabs crack when lifted (that's the asphalt at the end of its plasticity), there are multiple layers already, the decking is soft, or you're repairing the same roof for the third time.

The honest middle ground: sometimes the roof has five years left and a repair buys exactly that, and that's the right call — especially if you're selling, or if you'd rather replace it on your own schedule than an emergency one. We'll say so.

How long a roof replacement actually takes in Fort Worth

Most Fort Worth single-family homes are a one-day tear-off and install — larger or steeper roofs run two. Here's the honest timeline around that day:

  • Inspection and estimate: same week, usually within 48 hours.
  • Insurance approval, if applicable: the variable. Days to several weeks depending on your carrier and adjuster scheduling.
  • Permit, where the city requires one: typically quick, but it varies by city and by season — everyone in the metroplex is pulling permits at once after a big April storm.
  • Material delivery: usually the day before or morning of.
  • Install day: crew arrives early. Expect noise, expect debris, expect the driveway to be occupied.
  • Cleanup and magnet sweep: same day, and we come back.
  • Final inspection, where required: scheduled after.

Move cars out of the driveway, take fragile things off the walls, and plan for pets to be somewhere quiet.

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.
