What DFW Homeowners Say 
After the Final Nail Sweep

A roof is more than shingles. It’s an investment in your home, and choosing the right contractor matters. We believe trust is earned through honest communication, quality workmanship, and doing exactly what we say we’re going to do. Our customers’ experiences speak for themselves.

Meet The Owner

Meet Derek - The DFW Roofing Contractor You'll Actually Meet.

One question runs this company: Would you hire us again?

Derek McCarley founded DTM Builds in Sunnyvale, Texas after seeing too many roofing companies prioritize sales and insurance claims over what homeowners actually need. He wanted to build a company that listens first, puts the homeowner’s interests ahead of a commission, and treats every home like it’s his own.

That’s why Derek built DTM Builds around hands-on ownership and personal accountability. He’s not an owner who disappears once the contract is signed. From the initial inspection and insurance adjuster meetings to overseeing production and making sure the final nail sweep is completed, Derek stays involved throughout the process.



Because when your name is on the company, your reputation is on every roof.

“Tell homeowners the truth, do what you said you'd do, and treat every property like a long-term asset. That's the whole business.”.
— Derek McCarley, Owner

No storm chasers. No call centers. Just Derek - The last roofer you'll need to call.

VALUES & MISSION

Why DTM Builds Exists

Nobody gets excited about shingles. What people remember is whether the contractor showed up, told the truth, and finished properly. Our customers’ reviews reflect that commitment.

Our Mission

Most roofing and construction companies in DFW are built around closing the job. DTM Builds is built around what happens after – whether the materials matched the scope, whether the crew cleaned up, whether the homeowner would call again.


 

We exist to give Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners a contractor they don’t have to manage. One who inspects honestly, explains plainly, builds correctly, and is still reachable when something comes up.

Our Values

Honesty, including when it 
costs us the job.

If your roof has serviceable life left, we’ll tell you and price the repair instead. We’ve walked away from replacements other companies would have sold. That’s the point.

What's specified is what gets installed.

No downgraded underlayment, no substituted fasteners, no components swapped for cheaper versions you’d never think to check. If it’s in the scope, it’s on your roof.

Clear language, start to finish.

A written scope you can actually read. Progress updates while the crew is working. No jargon used to hide a number.

We finish the job.

Final walkthrough, corrections completed, magnetic nail sweep, debris gone, warranty documented. The last ten percent is where most contractors disappear. It’s where we’re judged.

Why Choose DTM

You've Got Three Quotes on the Counter. Here's What's Different About Ours.

Most DFW roofing contractors can replace a roof. Fewer can do the rest of what a project actually needs.

You get an owner on site, not the fourth-best rep available that week.

Big roofing outfits run on commissioned sales teams and subcontracted crews that change by the job. DTM is small on purpose. Derek runs your inspection, writes your scope, and is fifteen minutes from your house while the crew is working.

Class 3 and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles provide added protection against hail and may qualify you for a discount on your homeowners insurance. We’ll explain the options and provide documentation for your insurance company. Eligibility and savings depend on your insurer and policy.

We document storm damage with detailed photos, inspection findings, and a complete repair scope. We attend the adjuster meeting, point out the damage we’ve identified, and advocate on your behalf to help ensure the full scope is evaluated and you’re treated fairly.

Beyond roofing, we offer fences, concrete, turf, outdoor living spaces, and exterior and interior remodels and updates. Through our partnership with Aqua Architects, we can also help bring your custom pool to life. Work with our team to coordinate the entire project, from your home to your backyard.

Your roof inspection is free, with clear findings and honest recommendations. If your roof needs routine maintenance, we offer a roof tune-up for $99, normally $299. We’ll explain what’s included before any work begins.

We back our roofing installations with a three-year workmanship warranty, in addition to the standard manufacturer warranty. As certified contractors with TAMKO and IKO, we can also offer enhanced manufacturer warranty options on qualifying roofing systems. Ask us about available coverage and requirements.

Process

What Happens After You Call - From First Call to Final Nail Sweep

Most homeowners have had one contractor experience that went sideways, and it usually went sideways because nobody explained what was coming next. Here’s the whole sequence, so you know what to expect before you commit to anything.

You call. Someone who knows your project answers.

Call Derek or send the form. No call center, no lead broker, no rotating rep. The person you speak with is the person who shows up.

We inspect and document everything.

A free roof inspection covering the full system – shingles, flashing, ventilation, decking, and penetrations – photographed as we go. Roughly 45 minutes, and you’re welcome to follow along.

We explain what we found

You’ll see the photos and hear what they mean. If the roof has serviceable life left, that’s what we’ll tell you.

We explain your options and help with the next steps.

We walk you through your options and how we can assist, whether an insurance claim is warranted or we’re proceeding with a cash bid. For insurance claims, we advocate on your behalf and work to ensure the full scope of damage is covered, with the goal of leaving your roof better than its pre-loss condition.

You choose materials and we schedule.

Shingle line, color, and project details confirmed before anything is ordered. Then a start date and a realistic timeline.

We build it, clean up, and walk it with you.

Progress updates while the crew works, landscaping protected, magnetic nail sweep, debris hauled. Then a final walkthrough together, corrections handled, and your warranty documentation delivered.
