The pages below explain what each kind of roof job involves, so you can read a bid with confidence and spot a weak one.

How to choose a roofing contractor in Lubbock

Texas has no statewide roofing license, so the checks that matter here are local and on paper. Before you sign with any roofer, confirm four things:

• City registration. Inside city limits, the City of Lubbock requires a contractor re-roofing a home to be registered and to carry a $20,000 compliance bond or $100,000 in general liability insurance. Ask for the registration and check it with the City.
• A permit pulled by the roofer. The City requires a roofing permit to tear off and replace shingles, lists that permit at $75, and inspects the job after completion. Since October 1, 2026, the City has also asked the contractor to file a Residential Roof Replacement Affidavit before the final inspection is scheduled.
• A written, line-item bid. The Texas Department of Insurance suggests getting at least three bids, so you can spot a price that is too high or too good to be true.
• No deductible deals. Under Texas Business and Commerce Code §27.02, a contractor may not offer to waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible. A roofer who offers that is one to walk away from.

Our questions to ask a roofer before you sign list goes through scope, materials and payment, and the storm chaser red flags guide covers the door-knockers who arrive after every big storm.

What Lubbock roofing companies see most

Hail. When a roof is bruised, cracked or stripped of granules, start with hail damage roof repair, which explains how the damage gets documented slope by slope.

Wind. IBHS notes that a shingle resists wind only while its sealant strip holds; once that bond breaks, gusts can crease or tear the tab. Lifted shingles and loose flashing are the bread and butter of roof repair in Lubbock. This Old House's March 2026 guide puts the average repair at $531 nationally; your roofer's written quote is the number that counts.

Leaks. Water usually gets in at pipe boots, valleys, walls and chimneys, often some distance from the stain on the ceiling. Our roof leak repair page covers what to note before the roofer arrives.

Worn-out or storm-totaled roofs. When damage covers every slope, a full roof replacement may make more sense than patching. This Old House's October 2026 guide puts asphalt shingle roofs at about $5.16 per square foot nationally. Many owners also price impact-rated shingles or metal roofing in Lubbock at that point. Not sure what you have? A roof inspection gives you a written baseline first.

Residential roofing across the South Plains

Lubbock's storm record shows why roofs here wear out on a different schedule than in milder places. On May 20, 2020, baseball-size hail hit parts of south-central Lubbock, and the National Weather Service reported many damaged roofs. On June 23, 2023, a storm produced hail estimated at 4.5 inches at 98th Street and Upland Avenue, with a report near Wolfforth estimating 2.75 inches and about 1.75 inches just south of Slaton. On June 5, 2025, the NWS logged hail up to tennis-ball size inside the city and an 80 mph gust at Reese Center.

Wolfforth caught 1.75-inch hail again on May 28, 2024, while much of southwest Lubbock saw only small stones. Two houses a few miles apart can come out of the same storm with very different roofs, which is why a local inspection matters more than a neighbor's claim. Wolfforth and Slaton set their own permit rules, so ask the roofer which city office handles your address.

Common questions

How do I find a good roofer in Lubbock?

Ask at least three roofers for written bids, check each one's City of Lubbock registration and insurance, and make sure the roofer will pull the permit. Compare the bids line by line rather than by total.

Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Lubbock?

Yes, inside city limits. A tear-off and replacement needs a City roofing permit, listed at $75, and the job is inspected when it is finished.

Does a roofer in Lubbock need a state license?

No. Texas does not license roofers statewide. The City of Lubbock instead requires registration plus a compliance bond or liability insurance for contractors re-roofing homes inside city limits.

What should I do first after a hailstorm?

Stay off the roof, photograph what you can see from the ground, and keep water out of the house. Our after a hailstorm guide walks through calling your insurer and getting an inspection.
