Cement town, commuter town, storm track

Midlothian sits in the northwest corner of Ellis County, about 25 miles southwest of Dallas. For decades it has been known for heavy industry: three cement plants and a steel mill operate there, and the town is still called the "Cement Capital of Texas," an industry that began with a cement plant started in 1959. The 2020 census counted 35,125 residents.

The newer homes on the edges of town and the older ones near downtown share one thing: they sit under the same spring storm track as the rest of North Texas. The weather service has surveyed two tornadoes in and around Midlothian in the past seven years.

When a roof goes wrong, the first question is usually who to call. DFW Expert Roofers is one answer that costs nothing. It is a phone line, not a contractor: an automated assistant picks up, writes down where in Midlothian you live and what the roof is doing, and connects you with an independent, locally owned roofing company.

Two tornadoes the weather service surveyed in Midlothian

October 20, 2019: EF-1 on the north side. The same night tornadoes tore through north Dallas, the National Weather Service office in Fort Worth surveyed a tornado that began near Highway 67 and 9th Street and traveled east about 2.8 miles. It rated the damage EF-1, with peak winds near 100 mph. Several churches and retail buildings lost windows and had roof damage.
April 4, 2022: EF-0 along East Wyatt Road. A smaller tornado, rated EF-0 with peak winds near 85 mph, ran about 1.4 miles along East Wyatt Road near Ward Road. The weather service noted roof damage to homes and damage to trees.

Neither storm was large by Texas standards, but EF-0 and EF-1 winds are exactly the range that peels shingles, lifts ridge caps and drops limbs on roofs. Damage like that can leak for weeks before anyone spots it inside.

What Midlothian asks of the roofer

A permit for roofing

Roofing is on the city's list of projects that need a building permit, and the city keeps a roof permit application of its own. Permits come before the work, not after.

City registration first

Midlothian says a contractor must be registered with the city to get a permit. There is no fee, and registration can be done in person, by email, by fax or through the MyGov portal.

ID and insurance on file

The city asks registering contractors to bring a picture ID, proof of insurance and any license that applies. Ask the roofer for the same insurance certificate, sent to you by its insurer.

Building Inspections is at 215 N. 8th Street. For permits and contractor registration, the city's help line is 972-775-7134 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Requirements can change, so confirm before work starts.

After wind or hail in Midlothian

The first hour after a storm is about safety and records, not repairs. Here is a short order of operations that keeps you off the roof:

Check the ceilings and the attic hatch area for drips, and set out buckets or towels.
From the yard, photograph missing shingles, bent vents, dented gutters and fallen limbs. Date the photos.
Keep clear of any line that is down and report it to the utility or 911.
Call your insurer and ask how your policy treats wind and hail and what your deductible is.
Then call a roofer. If the roof is open, ask the roofing company about temporary covering before the next rain.

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 Oncor or your local electric utility, 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.

Five questions for any Midlothian roofing company

Are you registered with the City of Midlothian? If the answer is vague, call the city's help line before you sign.
Who pulls the roof permit, and when? It should be the roofing company, before the first shingle comes off.
What exactly is in the price? Tear-off, decking, underlayment, flashing, vents and cleanup, item by item.
What does the workmanship warranty cover, and for how long? Get it in writing, separate from the shingle maker's warranty.
How will you handle my insurance claim paperwork? A roofer can document damage, but you file the claim, and under Texas rules no contractor may negotiate the claim for you or absorb the deductible.

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.

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.
