Lake town, county seat, and a permit desk that checks names

Granbury is the seat of Hood County, a city of 10,958 people at the 2020 census that grew up around a courthouse square. Several buildings on that square, the Granbury Opera House among them, are registered historic landmarks. In 1969 a dam on the Brazos River created Lake Granbury, a long and narrow lake that winds right through town.

For roofing in Granbury, the fact that matters most is quieter than the lake or the square. The City of Granbury says only contractors and subcontractors registered with the city can obtain a building permit. That registration gives a homeowner something concrete to verify, which is rare in a state that does not license roofers.

DFW Expert Roofers is not a Granbury roofing company. It is a free phone line: an automated assistant answers, asks what happened to the roof, and hands your call to a locally owned, independent roofer that accepts Granbury calls. From there the roofer looks at the house, sets the price and handles the job, and you pay that roofer directly.

Checking a roofer the Granbury way

These steps follow the City of Granbury's own permit page, its Building Inspections FAQ and its Residential Construction Guidelines.

  1. Ask if the company is registered with the City of Granbury. Registration comes before any permit. A firm that is not registered files an application with Building Inspections first.
  2. Confirm it with the city, not the salesperson. Building Inspections can tell you whether a contractor is registered and current.
  3. Ask whether your job needs a permit. The city's monthly reports show residential and commercial re-roof permits being issued. Find out who applies for yours.
  4. Check every name on the permit. Granbury's FAQ says the general contractor and all subcontractors must be registered, current and listed before the permit is issued.
  5. Keep the permit with your house papers. It records who did the work and when, which can help with a later sale or claim.

Homes outside the city limits, in other parts of Hood County, are not under the City of Granbury's permit desk. If you live outside town, ask the roofer which rules apply to your address and confirm with the county.

May 15, 2013: the night Granbury learned about roofs and wind

On the evening of May 15, 2013, a tornado struck the southeast part of Granbury. The National Weather Service office in Fort Worth rated it EF4, the strongest of that night's outbreak, with winds it estimated near 180 mph; early reports gave a range up to 200 mph. Six people died, all in the Rancho Brazos subdivision, where damage was put at about $143 million.

The same storm system dropped an EF3 tornado near Cleburne in Johnson County, and by May 17 the NWS had confirmed 16 tornadoes from that night across North Texas.

No roof is built to survive the core of an EF4. What that night left behind for Granbury owners is more practical: after a widespread storm, roofers, adjusters and door knockers arrive all at once. A homeowner who already knows to ask about city registration, insurance certificates and written scopes is in a better spot than one who signs with the first truck on the street.

Leave the roof to the roofer. A wet or storm-hit roof is slippery, and damaged decking can give way, so keep off it and keep the ladder put away. Stay clear of any downed power line and report it to your electric provider (the City of Granbury runs its own electric system, so check the name on your bill), or call 911. Inside, pull furniture and electronics away from the drip, set out a bucket or towels, and keep everyone out of a room where the ceiling is sagging. Take photos from the yard and from inside, then call your insurance company and a roofer.

Four reasons Granbury callers dial the line

Wind and hail after a spring storm

The 2013 tornado showed how hard storms can hit Hood County. When a storm passes, owners ask for a roofer to look at the roof and write down what it finds before the insurer's adjuster comes out.

Shoreline homes with nothing to slow the wind

Houses that face open water along Lake Granbury have fewer trees and roofs around them to break a gust, so loose ridge caps and lifted shingles show up there first.

A re-roof that needs a permit

Owners planning a full replacement inside city limits want a company that can pull the permit itself, which in Granbury means one that is registered with Building Inspections.

Wanting a name that the city knows

Callers like that registration gives them something to confirm. The line connects them with one local company; they can still check it and compare other bids.

Roof work Granbury owners ask about most

Storms drive many calls here, from wind-torn shingles to a tarp needed overnight, along with checkups on roofs that have simply aged.

No state license for roofers. Texas does not license roofing contractors. A 2025 bill that would have had the state license re-roofers (HB 3344) cleared a House committee but never got a floor vote, and it died when the session ended. That puts the checking on you: ask for a certificate of liability insurance sent to you by the roofer's insurance agent or insurer, a written contract that lists the full scope, the permit or contractor registration your city requires, addresses of nearby jobs, and proof the shingle warranty was registered. The line does none of this checking for you. How to check a roofer in Texas.

Your deductible is yours to pay. The Texas Department of Insurance warns that a contractor may not waive your deductible, rebate it, or pad the estimate to cover it, and that a contract of $1,000 or more paid with insurance money must include a notice that you owe the deductible. Your insurer may ask for proof you paid it. A contractor also may not act as a public adjuster on a property it works on or may work on. If a roofer offers to "take care of" the deductible, hire someone else.

Shingles in the yard after a night of wind, or a stain spreading across the ceiling? Call and describe it. A roofing company that covers Granbury takes the call, looks at the roof in person and gives you its own written price.

What Granbury homeowners ask about roofing

How do I find good roofing companies in Granbury TX?

Start with the one public record Granbury keeps: contractor registration. The city issues permits only to registered contractors, so ask each company whether it is registered with Granbury Building Inspections and confirm it with the city. Then ask for a liability insurance certificate mailed by the insurer, a written scope, and nearby addresses to drive past. Texas does not license roofers, as the guide to checking a roofer explains.

Do Granbury roofers have to register with the city?

A roofer who wants a City of Granbury permit does. The city's permit page says only registered contractors and subcontractors can obtain permits, and its FAQ adds that every contractor on the job must be registered, current and listed on the permit before it is issued. A company that says it never needs a permit inside city limits is worth a second question, and a call to Building Inspections.

Does a new roof in Granbury need a permit?

Granbury's monthly permit reports list re-roof permits for both homes and commercial buildings, so the city does issue them. Rules can depend on the job and on whether the house is inside city limits, so ask Building Inspections before work starts, and write into the contract which party applies for the permit and pays the fee.

What should I do if a storm damages my roof in Granbury?

Keep off the roof and away from any line that is down. Move belongings out from under drips, then photograph the damage from the yard and from inside, with the date. Call your insurer and ask how wind and hail claims and deductibles work on your policy. A roofer can then look in person. The storm damage steps page goes further.
