Roofing & Solar in Plano, Texas

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

NTX Solar & Construction has been putting roofs on North Texas homes for over twenty years. In Plano, 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.

Plano is our home base — and it sits dead center in the DFW hail corridor. 224 hail reports within ten miles since 2004, and the largest stone on record is four and a half inches.

Hail and storm history in Plano

Dead center of the DFW hail corridor. Plano has the second-highest report count and the single largest recorded stone of any city we serve.

  • On record 224 hail reports within ten miles since 2004
  • Largest stone 4.50" — bigger than a grapefruit
  • Peak season April, with 82 reports; May second with 47

Storms Plano homeowners remember

  • April 27, 2026 — 1.75" golf-ball hail in Richardson, four miles out
  • May 6, 2025 — 1.50" hail in Sachse
  • 2016 — insurance industry reporting names Plano and neighboring Wylie among the year’s significant Texas hailstorms, in a record season that topped $5 billion in statewide losses

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

  • Population 293,028
  • Median year built early 1990s
  • Median home value $465,900
  • Owner-occupied 56.9%
  • Single-family homes 70,355

Around 40% of Plano's housing predates 1990 and another 28.6% is 1990s — so roughly two-thirds of Plano homes are 25 years old or more, sitting in the highest-frequency hail cluster in the metroplex. If you're in east or central Plano and you haven't had your roof looked at since the last big April storm, you're overdue.

Neighborhoods we work in around Plano

  • Willow Bend and Polo Estates
  • Deerfield — 24-hour security and the holiday light displays
  • Whiffletree — 1980s custom homes
  • Kings Ridge in the northwest corner
  • Lakeside on Preston
  • Ridgeview Ranch
  • Forest Creek and Pitman Creek
  • Timber Brook near Oak Point Park
  • The Downtown Plano Arts District around Haggard Park

East and central Plano is 1970s and '80s brick ranch on big lots with mature trees. West Plano is newer and pricier. That matters for one specific reason: ZIP 75075 — east-central Plano — has the most damaging hail reports of any ZIP in the city, and it happens to be exactly where the oldest roofs are.

Plano roofing permits — what's actually required

Plano requires a permit — with a threshold worth knowing: re-roof work not exceeding 25% of the roof does not require a permit. Anything larger does.

Permit fee: $75. Fees are set by the city and change — we confirm the current amount when we pull yours.

General contractor registration runs $100/year plus $10 per vehicle ID tag. Plano runs two inspections, and the second one catches shortcuts: the final includes an attic inspection verifying vent piping through the roof, rafters in position, and water heater and A/C exhaust vents properly reinstalled. Metal panel, metal shingle and concrete or clay tile also need a separate underlayment inspection and non-combustible underlayment.

City of Plano 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 Plano: the local facts

Plano 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.

Plano roofing & solar updates

Updated October 19, 2026 for Plano homeowners.

Reading a Plano roofing estimate line by line

Two bids on the same Plano 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.

Insurance claims on a Plano roof: what we can and can't do

We help Plano homeowners through the claims process constantly, so let's be precise about the line, because some contractors aren't.

What we do: inspect and document damage thoroughly, meet your adjuster at the property, provide a detailed scope and photos, point out damage that got missed, and explain what the adjuster's estimate actually says.

What we don't do: negotiate your claim on your behalf or act as your public adjuster. In Texas that requires a separate license, and a roofing contractor who offers to "handle your claim for you" is describing something they may not be licensed to do.

The one to walk away from: anybody offering to "waive your deductible," "eat the deductible," or "cover it in the paperwork." Your deductible is your obligation under your policy. An arrangement to conceal it is insurance fraud, and it's your name on the claim. We will never propose it, and we'd encourage you to report anyone who does.

Skylights, chimneys, and other things that leak in Plano

When a Plano 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 Plano homes, especially where siding meets a lower roof.
  • Satellite dish mounts drilled straight through the deck and forgotten.

We actually work here

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

  • The Plano Balloon Festival every September at Oak Point Park — running since around 1980
  • Legacy West and The Shops at Legacy
  • Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve — 800 acres, the city's largest — plus 200-acre Arbor Hills
  • 4,337 acres of parks and more than 82 miles of trails
  • The Texas Pool — 168,000 gallons, shaped like the state of Texas
  • The Heritage Farmstead Museum and the Interurban Railway Museum
  • Southfork Ranch just down the road

We also serve Frisco, Allen, Richardson, McKinney, Murphy, Wylie and Carrollton.
