We believe in offering you the best solutions when it comes to your Fort Worth roof. Our expert workmanship and excellent service prove why we’re number one, whether that’s installing a new metal roof or replacing your cedar rooftop, to offering your an assortment of roof color choices to excellent maintenance plans and professional insurance claims assistance.

We understand the importance of a fully functional roofing system. Installing a professional rooftop and maintaining it over the years can cost you a pretty penny. That’s why we at Texas Select Construction are determined to install a highly durable, minimal maintenance rooftop for your home that will protect you for years to come.

The lifespan of your roof is dependent on things such as environmental conditions, exposure to the elements, and the quality of your roof’s installation. Living in Fort Worth means that your roof is regularly exposed to things such as tornadoes, storms, heavy rainfall, hail, severe winds, and more. These environmental conditions can significantly impact the lifespan of your rooftop and lead to its accelerated degradation.

Let’s look at how long your roof type typically lasts in Fort Worth.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Asphalt shingles are one of the leading roofing materials among homeowners in the Fort Worth area. Thanks to its affordability and easy installation, it is a highly popular roofing option. However, their lifespan can be anywhere between 10-30 years. While there are shingle variations that can last around 50 years if you live in an area that experiences frequent stormy weather, the lifespan of your asphalt rooftop will be significantly reduced.

Cedar Roofing

Cedar creates stunning rooftops capable of lasting nearly half a century. However, because cedar is a natural material, it requires meticulous maintenance and needs to be regularly coated in fire retardants and protected against bug infestations. In areas like Fort Worth, which regularly experiences high temperatures, it’s essential to keep an eye out for your rooftop as the intense heat can dry out your rooftop, reducing its protective features.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is believed to be the most environmentally friendly roofing material available. The metal roofing is often made from 100% recycled materials. Not only is the roof eco-friendly, but it is also cost-effective as it has a lifespan of 30-50 years, and with proper maintenance, you can stretch this lifespan to nearly 70 years. For an area that experiences frequent stormy weather conditions, metal is the perfect roofing material for your home.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofing can add a pleasant, tailored aesthetic to your home. The tiles are made from terracotta clay, ceramics, or concrete. When properly maintained, your tile roof can last you about 100 years. However, homeowners with tile roofs need to be on the lookout for cracking tiles, especially in areas with sweltering climates. Tile roofs also do not do well with a lot of foot traffic. In areas that experience high wind speeds, it’s vital that your tile rooftop is secured correctly because the last thing you want is heavy roof tiles flying through the air.

I used Texas Select Construction to replace my ten year old roof with a brand new roof. David and John came out to my house and provide a detailed estimate. The work was performed earlier than expected and completed all work in one day. Crew worked after dark to do a thorough clean up including rolling the yard to pick up all roofing nails. Texas Select Construction has the best customer service. I have recommended them to my family, friends and neighbors.

David and John were amazing to work with on the install of our new Class 4 roof and custom covered patio. They took a dream and a photo and made it a reality. It was exactly what I wanted. We had a small hiccup with flawed shingles and they immediately stopped the job, remedied it with the supplier, and had the job completed the next day. They were on time, took pride in workmanship, and delivered on every promise. The crews cleaned up after themselves and handled our home with care. Texas Select … More also took amazing care of a few friends and clients. We’re very happy that we chose to work with Texas Select Construction!

In October of 2022, I contacted Texas Select to help rebuild my house after a fire. David and his crew met with us and discussed what they could do and gave us a general timeline for the project. We had never built a house before and needed someone we could trust to get our home rebuilt. David worked with us and built the home we wanted. He kept us involved and informed all the way. By August we were back in our house.

We just had our roof done by Texas Select and are very happy. John was great in explaining everything to us. We had never had our roof done before and we were confused by the process and the insurance company. He took the time to explain everything to us. He also made sure everything that he said would be done did get done. We were so impressed by him that we decided to go with him over a family member that also owns a roofing company. John is a very nice and professional guy. He left us feeling … More confident about our budget and our home. John also recommended a better ventalation system then the one the other company qouted us for. They even came back and fixed a few things that got a little messed up in the process and they made it right. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get roof work done.

Texas Select Construction is hands down the best roofing contractor I have EVER dealt with. John Naylor not only anticipated but took care of every need/question that arose. He is very thorough throughout the entire process starting with the inspection, explaining the process, dealing with the insurance company, overseeing the re-roof, to helping pickup any nails that might have fallen in the street or on my neighbors property! I was kept updated during every phase of the job! They did what … More they said, when they said they would do it, the communication was great! Texas Select is my roofer for LIFE!

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Texas Select Construction. From the first contact with Andy, our roofing coach, until the last nail was meticulously cleaned from our property, we could not have had a better experience. The entire crew worked so hard in this awful heat and did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Texas Select Construction. Request Andy. He will take care of you!
