Roofing & Solar in McKinney, Texas

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

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

The Collin County seat, the fastest-growing city on our list at +20.8% since 2020, and the newest housing stock of the ten — a median build year of 2007.

Hail and storm history in McKinney

Collin County is squarely in the DFW hail corridor, and McKinney sits fifteen miles from the single worst hail event in North Texas record-keeping.

  • On record 56 ground-spotter reports and 124 radar detections in the past 12 months
  • Largest stone ping-pong-ball and half-dollar locally; a 5.25" stone regionally
  • Peak season March through May

Storms McKinney homeowners remember

  • April 11, 2016 — the Wylie supercell — 80% of homes in Wylie affected, over $300 million in damage in that city alone, and a 5.25-inch hailstone, the largest ever recorded in the NWS Fort Worth forecast area. That storm tracked across Collin County
  • March 25, 2025 — ping-pong-ball and half-dollar hail reported in McKinney, golf-ball size nearby
  • September 21, 2025 — ping-pong-ball hail and 60 mph gusts near Melissa and Princeton

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

  • Population 236,001
  • Median year built 2007
  • Median home value $471,800
  • Owner-occupied 63.8%
  • Single-family homes 54,718

About 68% of McKinney's housing was built between 2000 and 2019. The 2000–2009 wave alone is a third of the city's stock and is now 17 to 26 years old — builder-grade shingles at end of life, that have already absorbed the 2016 and 2025 hail. McKinney also has the highest median household income of the ten cities at $124,215.

Neighborhoods we work in around McKinney

  • Stonebridge Ranch — 6,000 acres, 72 villages, median build year 2001
  • Craig Ranch
  • Adriatica Village — the Croatian-themed district, with genuine tile and Mediterranean rooflines
  • Trinity Falls in north McKinney
  • Tucker Hill — brownstone and colonial architecture
  • Hardin Lake
  • Historic Downtown McKinney, around the 1876 courthouse
  • Village of Eldorado, Painted Tree, Auburn Hills and Chapel Hill

Something only a local gets right: McKinney addresses fall into seven different school districts — McKinney ISD plus Frisco, Prosper, Allen, Melissa, Lovejoy and Celina. And Adriatica is a genuinely specialized roof. If a bid for an Adriatica tile roof reads like a bid for a Stonebridge Ranch asphalt roof, something is wrong.

McKinney roofing permits — what's actually required

McKinney requires a permit for all roofing projects, and the work has to comply with the 2021 IRC.

Permit fee: $200 flat. Fees are set by the city and change — we confirm the current amount when we pull yours.

McKinney does not charge a fee or require a form for general contractor registration. The inspection is a building final, and the code details they check are the ones cheap crews skip: drip edge is required on all asphalt shingle projects, damaged roof vents and flashing must be replaced rather than reused, and roof-penetrating exhaust vents need proper termination with dampers and screens.

City of McKinney 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 McKinney: the local facts

McKinney 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.

McKinney 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.

Updated October 19, 2026 for McKinney homeowners.

The McKinney fall roof checklist

Fall is the cheapest time to fix a roof problem in McKinney, because you're fixing it on your schedule instead of during a February ice event.

  • Clear the gutters — properly. Not just the troughs. Check that downspouts actually discharge and that water is getting away from the foundation. A clogged downspout backs water under the shingle edge.
  • Look at every penetration. Plumbing boots are the number one leak source on North Texas homes and the rubber collar is usually the first thing to fail — often years before the shingles do.
  • Check the flashing where the roof meets a wall. Step flashing that's been caulked instead of replaced is a repair with a countdown on it.
  • Trim branches back. Anything overhanging the roof drops debris into valleys and gives squirrels a bridge.
  • Look at the ceilings inside. Faint brown rings near vents, in closets, or at the top of an exterior wall are early leaks.

Skylights, chimneys, and other things that leak in McKinney

When a McKinney homeowner calls about a leak, the shingle field is rarely the culprit. It's almost always a penetration:

  • Plumbing vent boots. The rubber collar cracks from UV and heat, typically well before the shingles wear out. The most common leak we find, and one of the cheapest to fix — if you catch it.
  • Chimney flashing. Needs step flashing and counter flashing let into the mortar joint. Caulk over the top of the old flashing is a repair with an expiration date.
  • Skylights. The unit itself has a service life; so does its flashing kit. If a skylight is older than about twenty years and you're replacing the roof anyway, replacing the unit at the same time is far cheaper than doing it separately.
  • Wall-to-roof transitions on two-story McKinney homes, especially where siding meets a lower roof.
  • Satellite dish mounts drilled straight through the deck and forgotten.

Ventilation, insulation, and the McKinney energy bill

A roof replacement is the one moment when the entire top of your McKinney house is open and accessible. It's the cheapest opportunity you'll ever have to fix what's underneath it — and most people don't get offered the chance.

Worth doing while we're up there:

  • Correct the intake/exhaust balance. Most homes are exhaust-heavy and intake-starved, which is worse than no ventilation at all.
  • Add a radiant barrier to the underside of the decking on a re-deck.
  • Seal attic bypasses — the gaps around can lights, top plates and chases where conditioned air escapes into the attic.
  • Bring insulation up to depth in a house that's settled to half its original R-value.

None of it is expensive relative to the roof itself. All of it is expensive to do later.

We actually work here

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

  • Money magazine's #1 Best Place to Live in America in 2014 — and people here still bring it up
  • The Historic Downtown Square and the 1876 Old Collin County Courthouse, now the Performing Arts Center
  • The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary — 289 acres and 6.5 miles of trails
  • Erwin Park — 212 acres and ten miles of mountain bike trail
  • McKinney National Airport, with Avelo commercial service starting November 2026
  • Oktoberfest in late September and Arts in Bloom in April
  • Red White and Boom — the July 4 parade and fireworks

We also serve Frisco, Allen, Plano, Prosper, Melissa, Princeton, Fairview and Celina.
