A place to start when a Plano house needs its roof or its walls looked at, written by people who read the city's handouts so you do not have to.
You call or fill in the form. The request goes to one independent roofing or siding contractor who works in Plano. That contractor contacts you, looks at the house, and gives you a price. If you go ahead, the agreement is between the two of you.
This site does not climb on roofs, hang siding, employ crews, file permits or hold any contract for the work. It introduces. Everything after the introduction belongs to the contractor.
Because in Plano that is the fact that explains the rest. About 64% of the city's housing units were built from 1970 through 1999 (2019–2023 American Community Survey five-year estimates). A house from the middle of that span has had time to wear out one roof and start on another, and its siding, trim and eaves are exactly as old as it is.
A site that talked mainly about storms would be describing a few days a year. The age of the house is there every day.
Texas does not license roofing contractors or siding installers. There is no state board, no exam and no number to print. The Roofing Contractors Association of Texas offers a voluntary credential, which is a trade association program and not a state license.
What can be checked: the company's City of Plano contractor registration for the current year, general liability insurance, workers' compensation where there are employees, a local address, manufacturer certification for the product being installed, and the workmanship warranty in writing. The permit page explains the city registration.
Insurance. What a policy covers and how a loss is handled are for you, your agent and your insurance company. Texas law restricts what contractors may advertise in that area, and this site keeps well clear of it. You will find one plain statement on the storm inspection page and one in the questions list, and nothing else.
Guesses. Where this site has not found a source for something about Plano's houses, such as what share of them are brick, or what roofing was used in a given decade, it says so and leaves the answer to the contractor standing in front of your house.
Houses here sit on concrete slabs at ground level, with older ones on pier-and-beam. Storage, and often the air handler, go in the attic or the garage. The weather that wears a house down is hail, straight-line wind, long summer heat and the occasional hard freeze. Those facts shape every page here: why the attic gets inspected, why a ceiling stain may be an air conditioning drain, why the bottom row of siding sits so close to the ground.
The questions page covers the common ones.
