Most Plano houses are old enough to need a second roof and a hard look at the walls. Call or write, and an independent local contractor takes it from there. This site makes the match; it does not do the work.
Say the build year when you call. It is the most useful single fact about a roof.
A roof put on a 1993 house when it was new is more than thirty years old. Whether yours is that roof or its replacement decides everything else.
Siding, trim, fascia and soffit are the same age as the house and do not get replaced on a schedule. They get found.
A permit is required for residential re-roof work exceeding 25% of the roof area.
Existing wood shake, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile must be removed before the new roof goes on.
The final inspection includes the attic.
Roofing companies fall under the city's general contractor registration, renewed every year.

Texas does not license roofers, which leaves homeowners with little to check. Plano's registration and permit are two things you can check. The permit page walks through both.
The build year, the problem, and which side of the house. By phone or by form.
Your request goes to one independent contractor who works in Plano. It is not sold around.
On the roof and in the attic, or around the walls with a probe. You get photographs.
The quote, the permit and the agreement are between you and the contractor.
Most of Plano fits one description. These eight places do not, because of when they were built or whose rules apply.
Under the city's re-roof handout, yes, when the work exceeds 25% of the roof area. The final inspection includes the attic. The permit page has the details.
No. This site passes your request to an independent roofing or siding contractor who works in Plano. That contractor quotes the job and does it.
Texas has none, so ask for what does exist: the company's current City of Plano contractor registration, proof of liability insurance, a local address, and the workmanship warranty in writing.
Possibly on some walls and not others. A siding inspection sorts them before you spend on paint or boards.
Tell a local contractor how old the house is and what you have noticed. The rest follows from that.
