It is the event most Garland homeowners think of when they think about roofs, but the everyday threat is less dramatic: straight-line wind from spring storms, crossing the open water of Lake Ray Hubbard and lifting shingles on the east side of town, and hail that follows the same storms.
No roof survives a direct hit from a strong tornado. What a good installation does is survive the ordinary storms, the 60 and 70 mph gusts that come every year. That comes down to details you can ask about:
Much of Garland was built from the 1950s through the 1980s, so many roofs here are on their second or third replacement. On those houses, a full tear-off matters: older jobs sometimes left a second layer over the first, which hides soft decking and adds weight. Ask for everything to come off to the deck and for a per-sheet price on any decking found bad. Re-roofing generally needs a City of Garland building permit, which your roofer should pull.

Wind-rated architectural shingles installed to the manufacturer's high-wind instructions, usually with six nails per shingle and starter strips at the edges. Ask what wind warranty comes with them.
Not a direct hit from a strong one. A well-installed roof resists the ordinary high winds that come with North Texas storms every year.
On older homes especially, yes. Removing every old layer lets the roofer find soft decking and avoids trapping problems under the new roof.
Re-roofing generally requires a City of Garland building permit, and your roofer should pull it. Small patch repairs usually do not.
