How a Princeton re-roof gets permitted

Registration

General contractors are among the trades that must register with the City of Princeton. Confirm the roofer's registration is current before you sign.

A roof permit

The city's FAQ says any roof repair or replacement needs a permit, priced at $90. Its 2025 monthly reports list many residential re-roof permits at that fee.

A clear scope

Permit entries describe the work, from shingle line to new felt, ice and water shield and vents. Expect your contract to be at least that specific.

Development Services is at 2000 E. Princeton Drive; the city lists 972-736-6169 for permitting questions. Fees and steps change, so let the roofer confirm them for your job.

April 3, 2014: the tornado near Princeton

On the evening of April 3, 2014, a storm crossing Collin County produced a brief tornado near Princeton. The National Weather Service rated it EF-0, with estimated peak winds of 85 mph and a path of about 1.2 miles. Some structures in the path lost shingles and roof decking.

The same storm dropped hail 2 inches across in Allen and up to golf ball size around McKinney. An EF-0 is the lowest rating on the scale, yet it was still enough to tear the deck off roofs. Strong straight-line winds can do similar damage without any tornado at all.

If a storm like that passes over, assume the roof needs a look even if the house next door seems fine, and stay off it yourself.

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.

What to ask roofers in Princeton

  • Is your company registered with the City of Princeton right now?
  • Will you file the roof permit and include its fee in your price?
  • Does the scope list underlayment, ice and water shield, vents and drip edge by name?
  • How will you price decking that turns out to be damaged?
  • Can I get a liability insurance certificate sent straight from your insurer?

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.

Wind damage, a leak, or an aging roof you want priced? Call and explain. An independent roofer that serves Princeton looks at it and puts the estimate in writing. Many roofers inspect without charge; ask when you talk.

Princeton roofing questions

Does Princeton TX require a permit to replace a roof?

Princeton's city FAQ says a permit is required for any type of roof repair or replacement, and roof permits are $90. Its monthly permit reports list re-roof permits every month at that fee. Ask the roofer to apply for it, include the fee in the written price, and give you the permit number. The Development Services office at 2000 E.

Do roofers in Princeton have to register with the city?

General contractors are on the city's list of contractors that must register with the City of Princeton. Ask the roofer for proof of its current registration before you sign. Fees have been listed at different amounts over time, so the city is the place to confirm. Since Texas does not license roofers, see what else to check.

Was Princeton hit by a tornado?

Yes. On the evening of April 3, 2014, the National Weather Service confirmed a brief EF-0 tornado near Princeton with estimated peak winds of 85 mph along a path of about 1.2 miles. Some buildings in its path lost shingles and roof decking. Wind like that can damage a roof that looks fine from the street, so a roofer's inspection is worth it after any severe storm.

What do I do while I wait for a roofer after storm damage?

Keep everyone off the roof and well clear of fallen wires. Inside, shift furniture away from drips, set a pan or towels under them, and close off any room where the ceiling bulges.
