Roof Replacement in Aubrey, TX
Somebody has told you the roof needs replacing, and Aubrey Roofing Co is where you check that against the roof itself. On housing this age the answer is no more often than yes.
Check the opinion before you price the job
The houses here sit in the middle of a roof's life. A roof that age is usually a repair candidate, sometimes a monitor-it candidate, and occasionally a genuine replacement. The people who tell you otherwise on a doorstep after a storm are working from a script that does not know your build year. So when is it the right call?
Three situations qualify: damage spread widely enough that chasing it approaches the cost of starting again, a covering already carrying two layers so nothing more can go over it, or decking that has been wet long enough to lose its grip on fasteners. Each of the three is a finding. Each one is visible to somebody standing on the roof, and none of them needs you to take a word for it.
What an Aubrey roof replacement includes
A replacement is a sequence, and each step is a place where a corner can be cut invisibly. The five below are where that happens.
- 01Tear-off to the deck
- Everything comes off, which is the only way the sheathing underneath is ever seen. A quote that assumes an overlay is quoting a different job.
- 02Decking repair where it is found
- Soft or delaminated sheathing is replaced by the sheet. This is the line that moves a number mid-job, so it belongs on the estimate as a per-sheet rate before work starts.
- 03Underlayment, edge and flashing
- Drip edge, valley protection and the metal at walls and penetrations. Most leaks on a young roof begin at one of these details rather than in the field.
- 04The roof itself
- The grade you chose, fastened to the manufacturer's pattern, which is also what a workmanship warranty is measured against.
- 05Cleanup and the magnet pass
- Nails come off the driveway and the lawn. Worth naming because it is the step most often skipped once the trailer is loaded.
Get the measurement before the sales conversation
Every step below happens before anyone asks you to sign anything. Here is the order they happen in.
A roofer measures the roof
Planes, pitch and squares counted on site, because the count is what the whole estimate is built on.
A roofer photographs the findings
What is on the covering, what is at the details, and what can be seen of the deck, dated and sent to you.
The estimate names its lines
Grade, tear-off, decking rate, and what happens if more decking turns up than expected.
When replacement stops being the second choice
The findings that settle it, as opposed to the ones a doorstep conversation leans on. Each of these is checkable from the roof.
- Damage spread across a large share of the surface, so chasing each spot approaches the labor of re-roofing
- Two layers already on the deck, which is the ceiling under the residential code and leaves no room for another
- Decking that has been wet long enough to soften, because fasteners will not hold in it whatever goes on top
- Repairs that keep moving to new spots instead of holding at one, which says the shingles have stopped performing rather than failed at a detail
- A roof surface late enough in its life that a repaired patch would soon be surrounded by the next failure
What a roof replacement runs in Aubrey
A typical house here runs near twenty-four squares, and replacement is priced by the square, a hundred square feet at a time. What moves the number is the pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck turns out to need underneath.
The figure for your roof comes from the measurement and names its own lines.

Replacing a roof that is not old yet
A roof built in the 2010s that needs replacing almost always got there through weather. Hail does not wait for a roof surface to reach the end of its service life. It bruises the mat, strips granules, and takes years off a roof that would otherwise have had them. That changes what a replacement conversation should sound like here. The question is not whether the roof is old enough. It is whether one storm, or several, did enough to it that repairing around the damage costs more than starting again.
- 01Age is not the argument here
- On houses this age, a roofer leading with the build year is leading with the weakest thing they have.
- 02The deck is the unknown
- Everything above it can be assessed from on top. What the sheathing is doing only becomes visible once the covering comes off, which is why the estimate should price that possibility instead of discovering it.
A replacement on a roof this young should come with a reason you can see in a photograph. If nobody can show you one, the answer is probably not yet.
