A Keller roof is usually big enough that the real risk is a plane nobody looked at, rather than a defect somebody missed. Several hips running into one another, screened porches, a long unbroken ridge — each of those faces is either in the photographs you are shown or it is not, and the ones left out are the awkward ones. So ask for the set slope by slope before you ask about price. Keller's general permit categories do not settle the requirement for every roofing scope. Ask Building Services to classify the proposed covering, decking and structural work.

What is different here
Three things that decide how a roof job goes in this city, and that are not the same one town over.
Keller publishes general construction and permit guidance. Those general categories alone do not settle the permit requirement for every roofing repair or replacement. Ask Building Services to classify the proposed covering, decking, and structural work.
Substantial family houses on larger lots, predominantly built from the 1990s onward, with a smaller pocket of older property near the original town centre. Steep, complex roofs with significant total area.
Coverage becomes a procedure problem. On a roof with this many planes, a walk-around that is decided on the day will miss something; the parts most likely to go unchecked are the ones awkward to reach, which are also the ones nobody else has checked either.
Local context
Hail reaches this part of northern Tarrant County most springs. A regional observation is background and not a finding: what matters on a roof this size is whether every plane was actually looked at after the event, not just the accessible ones.
Confirm the jurisdiction that actually issues the permit — boundary addresses are commonly wrong about this — then the current permit and inspection path, any HOA or historic requirement, and how decking is handled if the deck turns out to need work.
Photographs of every plane with the date attached, a written note of anything that could not be safely reached, the permit and inspection record where one applies, and the product and colour actually installed. That file is what makes the next decision on this property cheaper.
Nearby
Confirm the jurisdiction for your address and the requirements for the proposed work. City coverage does not confirm every service at every property.
Questions
Ask for the photographs by plane rather than a summary. A fixed route produces a set that covers every slope; a walk-around produces a set that covers whatever was easy to stand on.
The general wording alone does not establish the answer for every re-roof. Give Building Services the proposed scope and ask which permit, submission and inspection requirements apply. Include any decking replacement, structural changes or change of covering.
Only if it is being used. A long ridge is the most efficient place to exhaust attic air, and on many houses of this era it carries a vent along part of its length and nothing along the rest — or a vent sitting over a slot cut too narrow in the deck to move much air. What decides it is the opening under the cap, which is visible only while the ridge is open. Ask for a photograph of it before the cap goes back on.
Coverage is confirmed against your specific address before anything is scheduled, rather than assumed from a list of place names. Ask and you will get a straight answer either way.
Assessment request
Short, routing-only questions. Nothing here asks you to diagnose the roof yourself.
