When North Texas hail, heat, and humidity meet your asphalt roof, performance matters. CountBricks helps Fort Worth homeowners choose the right roof shingles, price every nail in seconds, and lock in timelines before storms strike again. This 1,000-word guide explains material options, local code requirements, and how CountBricks streamlines everything from blueprint takeoffs to the final invoice.
• Summer temperatures often hover above 95°F, causing lesser shingles to curl
• Spring hail averaging 1.5 inches in diameter can bruise or crack brittle surfaces
• Humid nights encourage algae growth that stains unprotected roofs
CountBricks specifies shingles rated for 130 mph wind uplift, Class 4 impact resistance, and algae-fighting copper granules. These standards safeguard resale value while qualifying many homeowners for insurance discounts.
1. Architectural Asphalt: Dimensional look, 30-year limited warranty, cost-efficient
2. Designer Laminated: Thicker profile, 50-year limited warranty, higher curb appeal
3. Cool-Roof Reflective: ENERGY STAR® certified, lowers attic temps up to 15°F
4. Impact-Resistant Class 4: Reinforced mats resist hail, often yield premium savings
5. Synthetic Slate: Lightweight polymer blend, luxury look without structural upgrades

Fort Worth requires a roofing permit for any re-decking or full shingle replacement. CountBricks adds permit fees automatically and flags:
• Maximum two existing shingle layers before tear-off is mandatory
• Minimum 22-gauge drip edge around the perimeter
• Class A fire-rated assembly for detached garages within 5 feet of the home
Staying compliant avoids re-inspection delays that can stretch projects into the next storm cycle.
