Roofing is our primary trade. American Prime General Construction is a veteran-led general contractor that self-performs roofing and carries storm work through to full reconstruction. We serve Lewisville from 2100 N Greenville Ave, Ste 106 in Richardson.
Lewisville has taken two separate $50 million hail reports in one afternoon, a confirmed EF1 tornado and a measured 90 mph gust. Its stock is mostly 1980s and 1990s, so most roofs here are on their second or third covering, at the age where the roof edge fails before the field does.

Lewisville’s storm record, by date
NOAA logged 38 qualifying events inside Lewisville’s city limits between 2011 and 2026: 26 hail reports of an inch or larger, 11 measured gusts at or above 58 mph, and one tornado. Wind figures come from NOAA, converted from knots to mph.
Hail
| Date | Hail | NOAA recorded damage | NOAA record |
|---|---|---|---|
| March 23, 2016 | 1.75 in. | $50 million | event 625244 |
| March 23, 2016 | 1.75 in. | $50 million | event 625142 |
| April 3, 2012 | 2.00 in. | $2 million | event 368114 |
| June 11, 2023 | 2.50 in. | $500,000 | event 1105780 |
| March 26, 2017 | 2.75 in. | $20,000 | event 684008 |
March 23, 2016 is the day to check first. Two 1.75 in. reports inside the city each carry a $50 million damage estimate. Hail that size bruises the mat rather than breaking shingles outright, and bruises surface as leaks years later.
Wind and tornado
The hardest gust recorded inside Lewisville is 90 mph on March 2, 2023, with $2 million in damage (event 1088498). May 28, 2024 brought 83 mph ($250,000, event 1186760) and 81 mph ($300,000, event 1186756), then 75 mph on March 4, 2025 (event 1248403) and 64 mph on June 8, 2025 (event 1274455). All are NOAA-measured gusts.
Lewisville also has a confirmed in-city tornado: an EF1 on March 29, 2017, 1.62 miles long and 130 yards wide, $600,000 in damage (event 680327).
Why the address matters more than the label
NOAA names each report for the nearest recognized place, not the jurisdiction. Six reports labeled LEWISVILLE plot inside Flower Mound, including 3.00 in. hail on June 11, 2023 (event 1105783), and three high-wind rows inside Lewisville carry the label CARNEY. We credit those six to Flower Mound, because a claim built on a storm that missed your street gets questioned. Our forensic roof inspection ties damage to events whose coordinates cover your address.
Why Lewisville roofs age the way they do
The median Lewisville home was built in 1997 (ACS 2020–2024, B25035). Of 54,237 units the 1990s are the largest decade at 12,891, with 10,146 from the 1980s — so 23,037 homes, about 42 percent of the city, date to 1980–1999 (table B25034).
That cohort follows a pattern: an original three-tab roof, one replacement in the 2010s after a hail event, and a second coming due now. Original fascia, soffit and gutters are often still in place under those two roofs, which is why edge rot and battered gutters turn up on so many inspections here.
Renters outnumber owners here, 27,874 to 24,041 (table B25003), so many roof decisions are made at a distance. For an investor, the useful output of an inspection is a dated, photographed scope, not a verbal estimate.
Roofing permits and code in Lewisville
Lewisville requires a permit and publishes less about roofing than its neighbors. Here is what it does and does not put in writing.
| Item | What Lewisville publishes |
|---|---|
| Permit required | Yes. Required for remodeling and changes to structures, and “re-roofs & re-decks” is listed by name (Building Services; Building Permits) |
| Residential roof permit fee | Two published answers — see below (fee list eff. 1/1/2024; fee schedule eff. 7/6/2026; budget fee schedule) |
| Contractor registration | Required, $80 annually (fee schedule); registration and permits run through the MGO Connect portal (Building Permits) |
| Code edition | 2021 IRC (Appendices AT, AW) and 2021 IBC, adopted by Ordinance No. 0612-23-ORD, November 6, 2023 (§ 4-31; § 4-26) |
| Roof covering | Amended R902.1: listed Class A, B or C covering, tested to UL 790 or ASTM E108 (§ 4-32) |
| Repair exemption threshold | None published — no change to IRC R105.2 and no roof-repair exemption (§ 4-32) |
| Required inspections | None published for roofing — see below |
| Building Services | 972.219.3470 (Building Services) |
The fee: the city publishes two different answers
Two fee documents list a residential roof permit at a flat $50 (eff. January 1, 2024 and July 6, 2026). The budget schedule instead sets building permit fees on a scale based on International Code Council valuation standards (FY 2024-25 schedule) — valuation-based, not flat. Both are city documents and we will not pick one for you. Ask Building Services which applies before signing anything that quotes a permit cost.
No published roofing inspections is a documented absence, not an oversight
Neither the Building Permits page, the fee documents, nor the codified amendments state whether a decking, mid-roof, nailing or final inspection is required for a re-roof. The city posts a standing note that its permit documents are being revised, and the “re-roofs & re-decks” handout listed on that page has no document behind it (Building Permits).
So the sequence is whatever Building Services confirms by phone and whatever your contractor documents. Where no mid-roof look is required, the photographs of decking, underlayment, starter course and fastening are the only record that exists, which is why we take them at every stage of a roof replacement.
One code point here is stricter than the model text: the amended R902.1 drops the qualifier limiting the rule to roofs near a lot line, so a listed covering is required city-wide (§ 4-32).
The roof edge: fascia, soffit, drip edge and gutters
On Lewisville’s 1980s and 1990s stock the roof edge is usually older than the roof itself, and it holds the most deferred damage. Fascia, soffit, drip edge and gutters are one system: water leaves the shingles, crosses the drip edge and lands in a gutter that carries it clear of the fascia. Break any link and the board rots.
- Drip edge is code, not an upgrade. It runs at eaves and rakes, segments lapped at least 2 in., vertical leg at least 1½ in. extending ¼ in. below the sheathing, 2 in. back onto the roof, fasteners no more than 12 in. on center (IRC R905.2.8.5). Underlayment goes over it at eaves and under it at rakes. Reusing bent or rusted edge metal is the most common shortcut we see.
- Gutter dents are diagnostic. Hail dents in aluminum are typically smaller than the stone that made them, and hail does not scratch or crease metal — creased or scratched dents, or two marks about 16 in. apart, are ladder or mechanical damage (InterNACHI hail damage guidance).
- Soffit carries your intake ventilation. Attics need net free ventilating area of at least 1/150 of the vented space, or 1/300 where 40 to 50 percent of it sits within 3 ft of the ridge (R806.2 minimum vent area). Blocked or painted-over soffit strangles that intake and cooks the shingles from below.
- Rotted fascia is a drainage failure, not a carpentry one. Replacing the board without fixing gutter pitch, downspout size or a missing apron only buys a few years.
We do this work with a replacement or on its own; details are on our gutter, fascia and soffit repair and replacement page.

One Richardson-Based Contractor for the Whole Recovery
Complex rooflines mean more penetrations, valleys and flashing — where damage hides. Our inspections cover the full system, including the edge details most bids skip.
We inspect and scope the construction damage, coordinate qualified mitigation and remediation professionals when specialized services are required, and manage the reconstruction through completion. We are not a public insurance adjuster and we do not negotiate claims on your behalf. Learn more about our storm restoration and build-back work, or contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Lewisville?
Yes. The city requires a permit for remodeling and changes to structures, and re-roofs and re-decks are listed by name. Lewisville publishes no roof-repair exemption threshold, so there is no stated cutoff below which a permit is skipped. Contractor registration is $80 annually.
How much is a roof permit in Lewisville?
The city publishes more than one answer. Two fee documents list a residential roof permit at a flat $50, while the budget schedule sets building permit fees on a valuation scale based on International Code Council standards. Confirm which applies with Building Services at 972.219.3470.
What roofing inspections does Lewisville require?
Lewisville does not publish one. Neither the Building Permits page, the fee documents, nor the codified amendments state whether a decking, mid-roof, nailing or final inspection is required, and the city notes its permit documents are being revised. Call Building Services at 972.219.3470.
What roofing materials hold up best in Lewisville?
Repeated 1.75 to 2.75 inch hail plus gusts measured up to 90 mph, so impact resistance and correct edge and fastening detail both matter. The city also requires a listed Class A, B or C covering city-wide, tested to UL 790 or ASTM E108. We can review impact-resistant shingle classes and the premium discounts some carriers attach to them.
Should gutters and fascia be part of a hail claim?
Often, yes. Hail dents in aluminum gutters are typically smaller than the stone that caused them, and hail does not scratch or crease metal, so creased dents or paired marks about 16 inches apart are mechanical damage instead. We document the roof edge separately from the field shingles.
Do you perform mitigation and remediation in Lewisville?
Specialized mitigation and remediation work is performed by qualified service providers. APGC coordinates those services and manages the repair and build-back portions of the work.
Can you help document the construction scope?
Yes. We provide photographs, measurements, construction estimates, repair scopes and material specifications for the reconstruction work. We do not act as a public insurance adjuster.
If your roof dates to 2016 or earlier, or you have not checked the fascia line since the 2023 and 2024 wind events, start with a documented inspection. We photograph and measure, say plainly whether it is a repair or a replacement, and provide written construction scopes when a claim is involved. See our other service areas.
