Roofing & Solar in Irving, Texas

Licensed, certified, and actually local. Free inspections across Irving and Dallas County — available 24/7.

NTX Solar & Construction has been putting roofs on North Texas homes for over twenty years. In Irving, that means knowing Dallas 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.

Irving has the oldest housing stock of any city we serve — a median build year of 1986 — and the highest hail radar detection count. That combination is not a coincidence in the damage we see here.

Hail and storm history in Irving

Full DFW hail-corridor exposure, and the highest radar hail detection count of the ten cities we serve — 146.

  • On record 146 radar hail detections
  • Largest stone tennis-ball size
  • Peak season April and May

Storms Irving homeowners remember

  • April 26, 2026 — tennis-ball-size hail with 60 mph gusts, under warning language that people and animals outdoors would be injured
  • April 3, 2012 — DFW hail and 22 tornadoes — roughly 110 aircraft damaged at DFW International, right next door
  • June 13, 2012 — up to three-inch hail from four supercells, falling for more than 30 minutes in places
  • May 5, 1995 — the Mayfest storm — golf-ball to softball hail across Dallas County

The Irving housing stock — and what it means for your roof

  • Population 257,076
  • Median year built 1986
  • Median home value $315,600
  • Owner-occupied 38.1%
  • Single-family homes about 40,000

A median build year of 1986 means the typical Irving house is on its second or third roof already. Irving is a replacement-cycle market, not a first-replacement market — and with the lowest median home value of the ten cities at $315,600, it's a market where the honest conversation about repair versus replace actually matters.

Neighborhoods we work in around Irving

  • Las Colinas — 12,000+ acres, developed from 1972, one of the first planned communities in the country
  • Valley Ranch — built out through the 1980s; the Cowboys practiced here from 1985 to 2016
  • Cottonwood Valley
  • Hackberry Creek Estates and Village
  • University Hills, near the University of Dallas
  • La Villita
  • The Lakes of Las Colinas and Water Street on Lake Carolyn
  • Bear Creek — the historic community and the Jackie Townsell Heritage Center
  • Heritage Crossing and the South Irving core

Las Colinas is the newer half of Irving; South Irving and the Heritage Crossing core are meaningfully older. One local nuance a real Irving contractor knows: parts of Valley Ranch feed Coppell ISD and Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, not Irving ISD — and Las Colinas has genuine tile and Mediterranean rooflines that a shingle-only crew has no business touching.

Irving roofing permits — what's actually required

Irving requires a roof permit for any roofing or re-roofing over one square — that's 100 square feet, so effectively every real job. No plans required for a re-roof.

Permit fee: $100 for single-family and townhouse, $150 for multifamily or commercial. Fees are set by the city and change — we confirm the current amount when we pull yours.

A useful Irving quirk: the city normally requires a homestead exemption on file with the Dallas Central Appraisal District before a homeowner can pull their own permit — but roof permits are specifically exempt from that requirement. Inspections: 972-721-2600.

Irving building department: 972-721-2600

City of Irving 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 Irving: the local facts

Irving 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.

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.

Irving is HOA country. Texas Property Code § 202.010 makes any HOA rule that flatly bans a solar energy device void. Your HOA can still require prior written approval, panels that don't extend past the roofline and that follow the roof slope, and frames or brackets in silver, bronze, or black — but approval cannot be unreasonably withheld once those conditions are met.

    Low-slope and membrane systems for Irving businesses and property managers.

    Full reconstruction, interior finishes, concrete, framing and garage work.

Irving roofing & solar updates

Updated August 25, 2026 for Irving homeowners.

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

A poorly ventilated attic in an Irving 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.

Questions worth asking any roofer working in Irving

Copy these. Ask them of us and of everyone else you're considering:

  1. Are you registered with the City of Irving, and can I see it? Requirements differ by city — a contractor who works here knows theirs cold.
  2. Where is your office? Not a P.O. box.
  3. Who is actually on my roof — your crew or a subcontractor? Either can be fine. Evasion about it isn't.
  4. What's your general liability limit, and can I get the certificate directly from your carrier?
  5. What does your workmanship warranty cover, for how long, and who honors it if you're not in business?
  6. Will you put the full scope in writing before I sign anything?
  7. What happens if you open the roof and find bad decking? Get the per-sheet number now.

A contractor who gets annoyed at these questions has told you something useful.

Gutters, drip edge, and where Irving water actually goes

Roofing and drainage are one system, and in Irving the failure usually starts at the edge rather than the field.

  • Drip edge is the metal flashing at the eaves and rakes that directs water into the gutter instead of behind it. Several cities we work in require it by code. Without it, water wicks back onto the fascia and rots it from behind.
  • Gutter apron at the eave does the same job where the gutter meets the roof edge. It's cheap and it's routinely skipped.
  • Downspout discharge. Water dumped at the foundation is a foundation problem in North Texas clay — and foundation movement cracks masonry and racks door frames long before it shows on the roof.
  • Valley detail. Open metal or closed-cut, both work when done right. Neither works when a crew relies on caulk.

We look at the whole water path, not just the shingles.

We actually work here

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

  • The Mustangs of Las Colinas — nine bronze horses galloping across a granite stream at Williams Square
  • Toyota Music Factory and the Pavilion
  • The Mandalay Canal, the gondolas, and the Las Colinas Flower Clock
  • Campion Trails — 22 miles along the Trinity
  • The Irving Arts Center, a Smithsonian Affiliate
  • The Ruth Paine House Museum and the Heritage House Museum
  • Texas Stadium — gone since 2010, but ask anyone who's been here twenty years and they'll still point at the spot

We also serve Coppell, Grand Prairie, Farmers Branch, Carrollton, Euless and Grapevine.
