Roofs Built for Decades of Weather
Roof Replacements in Garland for homes showing wear from UV exposure and repeat hail cycles
North Texas UV exposure and repeat hail cycles shorten shingle lifespan, and Firewheel and North Garland neighborhoods feature large housing stock from the 1990s and 2000s now hitting replacement age. When your roof shows widespread granule loss, curling edges, or multiple leaks across different zones, a full tear-off and replacement addresses the underlying failure rather than patching symptoms. L&R Medina's Roofing strips everything down to the decking, inspects for damage, and replaces all accessories before new shingles go down—nothing is left and built over.
Roof replacement is the company's primary specialty and main revenue focus, and the process reflects that experience. Every layer of the old roof comes off, exposing the decking so any rotted or weakened plywood gets replaced before the new system is installed. Underlayment, drip edge, valley flashing, and ridge vents are all replaced as part of the standard process, not add-ons charged separately after the estimate.

How Full Tear-Off Prevents Future Problems
The tear-off process removes all existing shingles, felt, and accessories, allowing direct inspection of the roof deck for soft spots, nail pops, or areas where water has penetrated over time. Any compromised decking is cut out and replaced with new plywood or OSB that's properly fastened to the rafters, creating a solid base that won't sag or flex under the new shingle load. New underlayment is rolled out across the entire deck, lapped correctly at seams, and sealed around penetrations so water can't migrate underneath even if shingles fail.
Once the replacement is finished, you'll notice that your roof sheds water cleanly without pooling in valleys, attic temperatures drop because ventilation is restored, and interior leaks stop completely. The new shingles lie flat and uniform, creating clean sight lines from the street, and the roof's overall profile looks level without the wavy appearance that comes from layering new material over old. You'll also see that flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents is sealed correctly, eliminating the most common leak points that patching doesn't address.
The owner participates in and understands every step of the installation process, not just the estimate, so decisions about decking repair or accessory upgrades are made by someone who knows how those choices affect long-term performance. Full replacement projects are priced competitively—customers regularly report being quoted double by other companies for the same scope of work—and the company is fully insured with free estimates provided for every property.
Questions Before Starting Your Replacement Project
Homeowners preparing for replacement want to know what the process involves, how long it takes, and what separates a quality install from a rushed job.
How long does a full roof replacement take from start to finish?
Most residential replacements in Garland are completed within two to three days, depending on roof size, pitch, and weather—one day for tear-off and decking inspection, one to two days for underlayment and shingle installation.
What happens if the decking underneath is damaged when you tear off the old roof?
Damaged decking is cut out and replaced with new material during the tear-off phase, before any underlayment or shingles go down, and the replacement cost is discussed before the work proceeds.
Do you replace all the flashing and vents or reuse the old ones?
All accessories—drip edge, valley flashing, step flashing, pipe boots, and ridge vents—are replaced as part of the standard installation, not reused or built over.
How do you handle steep-pitch roofs that other crews won't work on?
The owner is willing to work on steep-pitch properties that other contractors decline, using proper safety equipment and installation techniques to complete the job correctly regardless of roof angle.
Will I get an honest price or will the estimate come back inflated compared to other bids?
L&R Medina's Roofing prices reflect actual material and labor costs without markup layers added by sales-first operations—the owner's pricing is based on field-level expertise, not a commission structure.
