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.

Irving roofing & solar updates

Updated October 19, 2026 for Irving homeowners.

Reading an Irving roofing estimate line by line

Two bids on the same Irving 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.

What that warranty on your Irving roof actually covers

"Lifetime warranty" is on almost every Irving 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.

The HOA conversation before you go solar in Irving

If your Irving home is in an HOA, Texas law is more on your side than most people realize — but there's a process.

Texas Property Code § 202.010 makes any HOA rule that outright bans a solar energy device void and unenforceable. What your association can still require:

  • Prior written approval — which cannot be unreasonably withheld once the conditions below are met
  • Panels that don't extend past the roofline
  • Panels that conform to the roof slope, with edges parallel to the roofline
  • Frames, brackets and visible hardware in silver, bronze or black
  • An alternate location — unless your preferred spot produces more than 10% more energy, per NREL modeling

One exception: a developer can prohibit solar during the initial development period in subdivisions of fewer than 51 planned units, which occasionally applies in the newest phases around here.

We handle the submittal. Approval is usually straightforward when the design meets the statute up front.

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.
