Roof Replacement in Commerce, TX

The Roof Replacement Project at 906 Roseanne Drive

In early June 2026, we completed a full roof replacement at 906 Roseanne Drive in the Enlow Place Addition neighborhood of Commerce, TX. The project covered 20.80 squares of roofing and involved the installation of CertainTeed Landmark shingles in Georgetown Gray — a durable, architecturally dimensional product that delivers both long-term weather protection and genuine curb appeal.

The homeowner, Becky, had already been through one chapter with us before this project began. Following a home purchase inspection, she'd called us for minor repairs and came away satisfied with our honesty and our pricing. When hail storms moved through Commerce this past spring and caused damage to her roof, gutters, and screens, she came back to us — this time for the full replacement her home needed. That kind of repeat trust is something we don't take lightly.

The project was completed in coordination with Wellington, the homeowner's insurance carrier, and moved efficiently from inspection through claim to installation. The finished roof now stands as a reliable, warrantied system built to handle whatever the North Texas climate brings next.

Why This Commerce Homeowner Chose Wortham Brothers

Becky's experience captures something we hear often from homeowners in Commerce and across the region: they came to us initially for a smaller job, found the process straightforward and the pricing fair, and returned when something larger came up.

Here's her account in her own words:

> "I had used Wortham Brothers and Luis Lopez last year for this home for minor repairs following a home purchase inspection and found them to be honest and reasonable in their pricing. This spring, hail storms blew through Commerce and I talked with Luis again to inspect and eventually replace the roof, gutters, and screens that were damaged. The company was very efficient and fair in handling the claim. I recommend using Wortham Brothers." — Becky Burkett

What stands out in Becky's experience is the consistency. The same person she trusted for a minor repair — Luis Lopez — was the person she called when the damage became serious. That continuity matters. A full roof replacement is a significant investment, and homeowners deserve to work with someone who already understands their home and their expectations.

We've been a family-owned roofing contractor since 1986, and we've completed more than 128,000 roofs across the DFW region and surrounding communities. Our BBB A+ rating, held continuously since 1992, reflects decades of that same consistent standard — honest assessments, fair pricing, quality installations.

The CertainTeed Landmark System

The roofing system installed at 906 Roseanne Drive is built around CertainTeed's Landmark shingle line, one of the most widely respected product families in residential roofing. We're a CertainTeed ShingleMaster certified contractor, which means we're authorized to install their products at the highest tier and offer the most comprehensive warranty coverage available through that manufacturer.

# Why Landmark Shingles

CertainTeed Landmark shingles are a dual-layered, architectural (dimensional) product. Unlike older three-tab shingles, the dimensional construction adds visual depth and significantly improves resistance to wind uplift — a real factor here in Commerce, where spring and summer storms routinely bring sustained winds alongside hail.

The Georgetown Gray color selected for this project is a versatile, cool-toned blend that reads as a classic neutral against a wide range of exterior palettes. It reflects heat moderately well, which matters during the extended stretch of 95-plus-degree days that Commerce and the broader Hunt County area see each summer.

# Warranty Coverage

Because we hold CertainTeed ShingleMaster certification, the installation at 906 Roseanne Drive qualifies for enhanced warranty coverage. Our standard offering includes lifetime material coverage paired with a 10-year workmanship warranty — meaning the homeowner is protected against both product failure and installation defects for a full decade.

That warranty structure isn't just a selling point. It's what separates a properly credentialed installation from a cut-rate job that leaves homeowners exposed when something goes wrong.

Working Through Insurance

Roof damage insurance claims can stall, shrink, or disappear entirely without someone experienced guiding the process. The claim for this Commerce project was filed with Wellington, and from inspection to payout to installation, the process moved efficiently.

We work with insurance carriers regularly. Our role is not to inflate claims or manufacture damage — it's to ensure that legitimate damage is documented accurately and completely so the homeowner receives the coverage they've paid for. That means thorough photo documentation, proper scope writing, and clear communication when a supplement is needed.

A few things homeowners in Commerce should understand about the insurance process for roof damage:

Get a professional inspection before you call your carrier. A roofing contractor experienced in insurance work will identify all damage — including items like flashing, gutters, and ventilation components — that a homeowner might miss. Incomplete claims often result in partial payouts.

Storm damage doesn't require a named storm. The hail that damaged Becky's property wasn't tied to a specific named weather event, but the physical damage was documented and covered. Insurance coverage is tied to the nature and extent of the damage, not to a storm appearing on the news.

Supplementing is legitimate and often necessary. Material prices change. When an approved scope underestimates actual replacement costs, we work with the carrier to bring the settlement in line with what the job actually requires.

If you've had storm damage in Commerce or anywhere in Hunt County and aren't sure whether your roof warrants a claim, a free inspection is the right first step. We'll give you an honest assessment — the same kind Becky described from her first interaction with us.

Why Commerce Roofs Need More Than Standard Materials

Commerce, TX sits in the southern edge of the Southern Plains, which means it falls squarely in the corridor that sees some of the most damaging hail activity in the country. Hunt County averages multiple significant hail events per year, with storms capable of producing stones large enough to crack shingles, dent metal, and compress the granule surface that protects asphalt roofing from UV degradation.

Beyond hail, Commerce roofing systems face:

Summer heat accumulation. Temperatures regularly push past 95°F from June through September, and radiant heat from direct sun exposure adds significant thermal stress to roofing materials. Shingles that aren't rated for high-heat climates can blister, cup, and degrade faster than their rated lifespan.

Freeze-thaw cycling in winter. While Commerce doesn't see the sustained cold of more northern climates, it does experience ice events — sometimes unexpected ones. Water that infiltrates even minor cracks or gaps in flashing can freeze, expand, and cause damage that's difficult to detect until it shows up as an interior leak.

Wind-driven rain. Severe thunderstorms across Hunt County regularly produce wind gusts that force water upward under shingle courses and around penetrations. Proper installation technique — including adequate fastening, correct overlap, and fully sealed flashings — is the primary defense against this kind of water intrusion.

This combination of stressors is why we take product selection and installation quality seriously on every project. A roof that's adequate in a mild climate may underperform significantly in Commerce's conditions. CertainTeed Landmark shingles are rated for high wind resistance and carry impact-resistance ratings that make them well suited to North Texas hail exposure.

What This Means If You Live Near Enlow Place Addition

If your home is in the Enlow Place Addition or the surrounding neighborhoods of Commerce, the project at 906 Roseanne Drive is relevant to you for a simple reason: your roof faced the same weather events.

Hail damage is not always visible from the ground. What looks like a sound, intact roof from the street may have sustained granule loss, soft-spot compression, or cracked tabs that won't become obvious until the next heavy rain — or the one after that. The damage pattern from a single hail event often affects multiple homes in the same neighborhood or subdivision, regardless of how the roofs look from the curb.

We're familiar with the housing stock and roof types common to Commerce. If your home is similar in age or construction to the properties in Enlow Place Addition, it's worth having a qualified inspector take a look — especially if you haven't had a professional assessment since the last major storm season.

Frequently Encountered Problems on Commerce Roofs

Over the years, we've inspected and replaced hundreds of roofs in Commerce and surrounding Hunt County communities. The problems we encounter most consistently include:

Granule loss from hail or age. Granules protect the asphalt layer from UV degradation. Once they're gone — whether knocked off by hail or worn away over time — the roof's lifespan accelerates toward failure.

Improper original installation. Older homes sometimes have roofing that was installed with shortcuts: insufficient fastening, inadequate flashing around chimneys and pipe penetrations, or underlayment that no longer meets code. A new layer of shingles on top of a compromised deck doesn't solve these problems.

Damaged or undersized gutters. Gutters that can't handle the volume of runoff from a steep or large roof create water backup conditions that damage fascia, soffits, and — over time — the roof deck itself. The project at 906 Roseanne Drive included gutter replacement alongside the roof, which is frequently the right call after significant storm damage.

Inadequate attic ventilation. Poor ventilation traps summer heat in the attic, accelerating shingle aging from the underside. It also creates conditions for moisture buildup in winter. A properly ventilated attic extends roof life and improves energy efficiency year-round.

How We Approach Each Project

Every roof replacement we perform — whether it's a 10-square repair job or a complex multi-faceted commercial system — follows the same process.

We start with an honest inspection. If your roof doesn't need full replacement, we'll tell you. If it does, we'll explain exactly why and show you the documentation. We've built our reputation in this industry since 1986 on giving people straight answers, and that's not something we trade away to close a job.

From there, we match the product to the conditions. For Commerce homeowners, that typically means architectural shingles with strong wind and impact ratings from manufacturers we're certified with — including CertainTeed, Owens Corning, Atlas, and GAF. Each of those manufacturer certifications carries its own warranty implications, and we take those seriously.

Installation follows manufacturer specifications exactly. Our certifications require it, and our 10-year workmanship warranty is only as good as the installation it covers. We don't rush work to fit a schedule.

Finally, we handle the administrative side — including insurance coordination when applicable — so homeowners aren't left navigating an unfamiliar process on their own.
