What makes North Texas homes different
Two forces drive a large share of DFW home repair: hail and clay. The metro sits in one of the most hail-prone regions in the U.S., and a single spring storm can trigger roof claims across a whole suburb. Under the house, the Blackland Prairie's expansive clay soils swell when wet and shrink in drought. Over the years that movement cracks slabs, sticks doors, and opens gaps in brick veneer.
Add 100°F summers, the occasional hard freeze like February 2021's Winter Storm Uri, and a state with no general-contractor license, and it pays to know what you're buying. The guides on this site focus on those local realities.
The DFW housing mix
- Pre-1950 neighborhoods in Dallas (M Streets, Lakewood, Munger Place, Winnetka Heights) and Fort Worth (Fairmount, Ryan Place): pier-and-beam foundations, original wood windows, and historic or conservation district rules.
- 1960s–80s ranches in Richardson, Garland, Mesquite, Arlington and Irving: original electrical and cast-iron drains, dated baths, and roofs on their third or fourth replacement.
- 1980s–2000s two-stories in Plano, Carrollton, Flower Mound and Grapevine: kitchens and primary baths due for an update, and original windows with failing seals.
- 2005+ construction in Frisco, McKinney, Prosper, Celina and Little Elm: builder-grade finishes, patios and fences, and outdoor living upgrades.

Frequently asked questions
Is Dallas Home Projects a roofing or remodeling company?+
No. We're a free referral service. We match you with independent local contractors, and you contract with them directly. Contractors pay us for referrals.
Do Texas contractors need a license?+
It depends on the trade. Texas doesn't license general contractors, remodelers or roofers statewide. HVAC contractors and electricians are licensed through TDLR, and plumbers through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Many cities also require contractor registration for permits.
Can you help with an insurance roof claim?+
We can connect you with roofers who regularly work with insurance claims. Remember that Texas law prohibits contractors from waiving or rebating your deductible. Be wary of anyone who offers to.
Which DFW cities do you serve?+
Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Arlington, Irving, Richardson, Garland, Denton and surrounding communities. Coverage depends on which partners serve your ZIP code.
