Most Rowlett homes went up between the 1980s and the 2000s, which puts a lot of them on their second roof or due for one.
Viva Roofing provides roofing in Rowlett from our Frisco office, about 30 minutes away. Rowlett spreads across Dallas and Rockwall counties on the west side of Lake Ray Hubbard, with the President George Bush Turnpike crossing the city and I-30 just to the south. Much of the city is built around the lake, and many neighborhoods back right up to it.
The housing here is a little older than in the newest North Texas suburbs. Most Rowlett homes were built from the 1980s through the 2000s, so a large share of them have already had one roof replaced, and some are coming due for another. What sits under the shingles matters as much as the shingles themselves.
Rowlett also knows what severe weather can do. The EF-4 tornado that crossed Garland and Rowlett in December 2015 is part of the city's history, and North Texas hail comes through most years. A free inspection with dated photos tells you where your roof stands today.
On a Rowlett house from the 1980s or 1990s, a replacement starts with a full tear-off to the decking. Older decking can be soft at the eaves or around old vents, so we show you every damaged board and put its cost in writing before the new roof goes down.
A leak on a 25-year-old roof is often a worn valley, a cracked pipe boot or tired flashing at a wall or chimney. If a repair will solve it, that is what we quote, and we tell you honestly how much life the rest of the roof has left.
If North Texas hail has marked your Rowlett roof, the claim is yours to file and stays between you and your insurer. We provide the inspection photos, and if the claim is approved we work from the adjuster's approved scope.

A home built in Rowlett in 1990 has lived through more than thirty Texas summers and plenty of storms. Many of these houses were reroofed once already, sometimes over the original layer and sometimes with a mix of shingles from patch jobs since. When we inspect, we look at how the last roof was installed as closely as at the shingles on top, because the shortcuts of an earlier job decide what the next one involves.
Attic ventilation is the other common issue on homes of this age. Too little airflow bakes shingles from underneath and shortens the life of any roof put on top, so we check the vents and call out what we find in the photos.
Many Rowlett neighborhoods sit along the shoreline of Lake Ray Hubbard. Homes there have open views and open exposure: storms crossing the lake reach them with nothing in the way. Lakeside roofs tend to show wear first at the edges and ridges, where wind and wind-driven rain get under the shingles.
If you live near the water, or your roof has been on through a few hail seasons, call (972) 402-5427 for a free inspection. We photograph every slope and give you a written estimate, line by line, before any work starts.
Most Rowlett homes are roofed in asphalt shingles, and a replacement is a chance to choose what comes next. We price a Class 4 impact-resistant shingle next to a standard architectural shingle on the same estimate, so you can compare them directly.
Whichever you pick, the job ends the same way: Mike walks the finished roof with you so you can see what was done before we call it complete.
The floor plan is only a starting point. The price comes from the actual roof area, the pitch, how much decking needs replacing on an older Rowlett house, and which shingle you choose. A free inspection and written estimate, line by line, gives you the real number.
Ask to see the damage. We photograph every slope, date the photos and give them to you, so you can check what we found against your own roof. Our written estimate lists every line before any work starts, and if a repair is enough, we say so.
That rule is written into Florida's building code. Texas has no statewide equivalent, so in Rowlett the answer comes from the roof itself, the city's building code and your insurance policy. We photograph the damage on every slope so you can see how much of the roof is involved.
Probably not, and some have more than one layer. On a replacement we tear off to the decking, show you any soft or damaged boards, and put that cost in writing before the new roof goes on.
Move what you can away from the drip, catch the water, and call for an inspection. Leaks on older Rowlett roofs often start at valleys, pipe boots, ridge shingles or flashing, and a repair can be the right fix.
You file the claim with your insurer, and the claim is between you and them. We provide the inspection photos, and if the claim is approved we work from the adjuster's approved scope.

Mike was responsive and fast. He came back to check on my home after a concerned I had. I got a full roof replacement with class 4 shingles and he answered any questions I had before and after. Now the main part. My roof looks great and he showed me the roof with a drone to show the before and after.
Excellent Roof Replacement Experience! I recently had my roof replaced by Mike with Viva Roofing, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable. The entire process was seamless—they provided a thorough inspection, gave me a clear and fair estimate, and communicated every step along the way. The crew worked diligently, ensuring high-quality workmanship while keeping my property clean and protected throughout the project. The new roof looks fantastic and has already proven its durability through recent heavy rains. I highly recommend Viva Roofing to anyone needing roof replacement or repairs. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction truly sets them apart!
