Wind-driven leak at the flashing in Colleyville
A leak appeared only during heavy wind-driven rain. We traced it to an opening near the flashing on a roof we installed about two years earlier.

GAF Master Elite certified roofers with 20 years of work across DFW. Many of your Colleyville neighbors already trust us with their roofs.
Colleyville is a quiet town that looks after its homes, the Colleyville Nature Center, and its Grapevine-Colleyville ISD neighborhoods. Lots are large, landscaping is mature, and homes were built with care. Many of those homes are now 30 to 40 years old, so even a well-maintained original roof may be close to the end of its life.
Buford Roofing & Construction is based in Grapevine, right next door, and has worked across this part of North Texas for more than 20 years, with steady work in Colleyville. We know the neighborhoods and home styles, and we know how to replace a roof on a large home with mature trees and a long driveway that needs to stay clean.
Neighborhoods we work in

Established neighborhoods like The Bluffs, Montclair Parc, Broughton, and Ashmore were largely built from the late 1980s through the 1990s. Some homes have been reroofed once, and others still have the original roof.
Larger homes need more material, staging, and cleanup. Steep pitches and multiple roof planes add valleys and transitions where flashing and sealing must be precise.
Trees drop debris into gutters and valleys all year, and their branches can damage a roof without warning.
Tearing off a 30- to 40-year-old roof often uncovers soft spots, old fastener patterns, and rushed repairs. We look for these on every job, a habit built over 20 years of work in this area.
Straight answers, clear photos and work done right the first time.
For isolated problems like a failing pipe boot, cracked chimney flashing, or a few wind-lifted shingles, a targeted repair is the right choice. We find the source, document it, and fix it correctly the first time.
When repairs no longer make financial sense, we handle full tear-offs and replacements across Colleyville, including large custom homes with complex rooflines and many penetrations. We use GAF materials and installation practices that qualify for the strongest available warranties.
Hail damage is often subtle, such as bruised granules, cracked ridge caps, and impact marks on flashing and gutters. We photograph everything and explain what happened and what it means for your roof.
On older homes, early fixes pay off. Our inspections catch deteriorating caulk, worn pipe boots, clogged ventilation, and valley debris before water reaches your ceiling.
Colleyville roofs pass 150 degrees in summer, face pea- to golf ball-sized hail in spring, and see storm gusts of 60 to 80 miles per hour. On a larger, older home, those conditions stress every part of the roof system.
The roofing has to perform across a large surface with many transitions and still suit the home's architecture. We help you find options that meet both needs.
Fewer than 2% of roofing contractors nationwide hold this designation. It requires ongoing training, a proven track record, and following GAF-monitored installation standards.
We offer a lifetime shingle warranty, a 50-year Smart Choice Protection Period, and 10-year Silver Pledge or 25-year Gold Pledge workmanship warranties. We handle registration so coverage starts on day one.
We walk the full roof, photograph common failure points like valleys, wall lines, chimneys, skylights, vents, and ridge caps, and give you a summary that separates cosmetic issues from performance problems.
We narrow the choices to GAF products that fit typical neighborhood guidelines and your home's design, covering color, profile, ridge caps, vent visibility, flashing finish, and warranty tier.
We prepare a packet with the spec sheet, color choice, and scope summary for your review, submit it, and line up the schedule and materials while the association reviews it.
We plan dumpster and material placement, roof access, and protection for landscaping, driveways, and walkways, and most replacements finish in one to three working days once materials arrive.
We clean as we work, run a magnetic sweep across driveways, paths, and beds, and walk the perimeter with you to review key transitions and fix anything that looks off.

From the ground, look for curled shingle edges, bare spots where granules are missing, or an uneven roofline. After heavy rain, check the attic for damp decking, dark stains, or a musty smell. Sun can wear one slope faster than another, so condition matters more than age, and a photo inspection gives the clearest answer.
Not always, but larger homes have more going on. Bigger footprints, steeper pitches, multiple valleys, and visible details put more demand on materials and workmanship. That is where higher-grade components can be worth it.
It starts with a complete tear-off and a close look at the decking for soft spots, fastener problems, or rushed repairs. Then we install underlayment, leak barrier in vulnerable areas, flashing, ventilation, and the shingle system. A bigger roof also needs more planning for staging, material handling, and cleanup so you can still use your property during the job.
Leaves and debris gather in valleys and gutters and hold moisture at the roof edges, and branches can rub shingles or drop limbs. Shade also slows drying after rain, which can cause staining and faster wear. Cleaning gutters regularly and trimming overhanging branches are the easiest ways to extend roof life.
It can be, if the upgrade improves curb appeal, hail resistance, or comes with a warranty that transfers cleanly, since buyers notice exterior condition. If it is mostly a premium label with no visible or performance benefit, the return is harder to justify. A well-documented new roof that looks sharp is a real selling point.
Yes. Chimneys and skylights are where most leaks begin, so we give their flashing close attention. That includes new step flashing along walls, chimney counterflashing, updated pipe boots, and skylight flashing properly tied into the underlayment and shingles.
Most larger homes take one to three working days once materials are on site, and complex roofs can take longer. Steep pitches, multiple ridges and valleys, chimney and skylight work, and weather all affect the schedule. We walk you through the expected timeline in plain terms before work begins.
Real jobs from our crews across the Metroplex.

A leak appeared only during heavy wind-driven rain. We traced it to an opening near the flashing on a roof we installed about two years earlier.

We removed the old deck, cleared debris and built a new weather-treated pine deck with posts set in concrete, a replacement ramp and new stairs for easy access.

A full roof replacement with dark shingles gave this Dallas home a sleek, modern look and a big boost in curb appeal.
