Lorena roofing questions.
Do you make the drive to Lorena from Waco for roof work?
Yes — Lorena is part of our 26-city flat-pricing service area. No travel surcharge. We work the McLennan County country corridor (Lorena, Bruceville-Eddy, Bellmead, Elm Mott) on the same per-square pricing as Waco.
Are metal roofs a good fit for Lorena ranch homes?
For larger acreage ranch homes, yes — standing seam metal roofs (typically Galvalume or pre-painted Kynar 500 finish) run $9-$14/sq ft installed, last 40-70 years, and qualify for Class 4 IR insurance discounts. For typical Lorena residential, GAF Timberline HDZ at half the cost is usually the better value.
How much does a new roof cost in Lorena?
A typical Lorena-area home (2,000-2,800 sq ft, 25-30 squares of roofing surface) runs $14,000-$22,000 for GAF Timberline HDZ or Owens Corning Duration with full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield, ridge venting, and 1-year Glacier labor warranty. Two-story homes or homes with multiple roof planes run $18,000-$28,000. Class 4 IR shingles add roughly $1,200-$2,500 — typically paid back through carrier premium discounts within 3-5 years.
How long does a Lorena roof replacement take?
From signed contract to install start: typically 2-4 weeks. For active hail claims with finalized insurance scope: 1-2 weeks. Tear-off and install runs 1-2 days for most Lorena homes. Larger or steeper homes with multiple planes can run 2-3 days. Shingles arrive on-site within 7-14 days of contract signing.
What’s GAF Master Elite and why does it matter in Lorena?
GAF Master Elite is the top tier of GAF’s contractor certification — fewer than 2% of GAF-certified contractors in North America hold it. The requirement set includes background checks, ongoing training, insurance verification, manufacturer-verified install quality, and customer satisfaction tracking. For Lorena homeowners, Master Elite status means GAF backs the install workmanship for 25 years (Golden Pledge warranty) — not just the shingle product. Glacier holds Master Elite status, which is why we can register Golden Pledge warranties on Lorena installs.
