Roof Replacement Cost in Granbury, TX
Replacement quotes in Granbury and the rest of Hood County move with squares of roof, pitch, stories, existing layers, and whether the deck is sound. A lake-home hip roof in Harbor Lakes is a different job than a simple gable on a ranch tract near Acton — even if both are “about 30 squares.”
This page explains the line items that should appear in a written proposal so you can compare bids. It is not a price list. Local material and labor change with storm seasons.
What “a square” does not tell you
Roofers price by the square (100 square feet of roof surface), not by the heated square footage of the house. Steep pitch, multiple valleys, and dormers add labor even when the footprint looks small from the street. Two-story access, limited driveway staging, and HOA dumpster rules around Pecan Plantation or DeCordova also show up as mobilization or site-protection lines.
Ask each bidder to state:
- Number of squares and pitch
- Tear-off vs overlay (and how many layers are up there now)
- Underlayment type and where ice-and-water goes
- Ventilation (ridge, soffit, or both)
- Flashing scope (chimney, walls, skylights)
- Manufacturer warranty vs workmanship warranty
Tear-off vs overlay
Overlay (new shingles over old) is cheaper up front and sometimes tempting after hail. It is the wrong answer when you already have two layers, the deck is soft, or ventilation is wrong. Tear-off lets the crew see decking and replace rotten sheets before the new roof goes down. Your Bid Packet should ask every contractor to recommend one method and say why.
How to compare Hood County quotes
Request the same scope in writing. If one bid includes a full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, and new pipe boots, and another is “shingles only,” the lower number is not a savings. Use a Bid Packet so roof age, material, and insurance-or-cash goals are identical on every proposal.
Storm weeks after a Hood County hail event can stretch start dates. Ask for an estimated start window and what happens if a second storm hits before your date.
