How You Can Prepare For the Unexpected When It Comes To Your Home
Episode Overview
In Episode 003 of Know Your Home, host Dan O’Malley sits down again with Daniel Cook, owner here at Cook DFW Roofing & Restoration, to explore the top 3 most expensive home repair and improvement projects.
Do you know the top three most expensive home repair projects you’ll face as a homeowner?
On this episode of Know Your Home, host Dan O’Malley sits down with Daniel Cook, owner of Cook DFW Roofing & Restoration, to break down the three major systems that can cost homeowners the most money when they fail: HVAC systems, foundation repairs, and roof replacements.
The truth is, if you own a home long enough, you will eventually deal with one—or sometimes all—of these repairs. With people spending more time in their homes than ever before, major systems are working harder and aging faster. Understanding what these systems do, how long they last, and how to prepare financially for their replacement can save homeowners from major stress when the time comes.
Daniel explains why HVAC systems are often the first major system to fail, how foundation problems can develop over time—especially in areas like North Texas with expansive soils—and why your roof is one of the most critical components protecting everything inside your home.
Most importantly, this episode focuses on how homeowners can prepare ahead of time, rather than being caught off guard by a repair that can easily run into the tens of thousands of dollars. From preventative maintenance to long-term planning, this conversation helps homeowners understand the real costs of homeownership and how to protect their investment.

Dan O’Malley:
Your home is your most valuable asset, so it’s important to know everything you can to protect it and your family. I’m your host, Dan O’Malley, along with your home expert and owner-operator of Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration, Daniel Cook, and we are going to Know Your Home. On today’s episode, we are going to dig into the three most expensive home repair projects that you will encounter as a homeowner. Daniel, why is that so important nowadays?
Daniel Cook:
Well, Dan, it’s becoming more and more important every single day. I just read an article that said this last year, in 2025, they got data showing that more homeowners, especially in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, are staying in their homes longer than they have in the last 25 years. Instead of people flipping out of their homes like it was very popular to do every two, three, or four years, now the average just got to 7.7 years in DFW, and it’s even higher in the nation at 8.6. If you look back in the early 2000s in DFW, it was just over two years that people would stay in their homes before they sold and got another one, and the average in the country was 4.2 years. So people are just starting to stay in their homes longer. It’s not as convenient to flip your home and buy another one. You’ve got interest rates going against you, the cost of homes is going up, and it’s just not as easy to get homes that you just want to dump and get another one now.
Dan O’Malley:
Yeah. And because of that, that means as you stay in your home longer, you’re going to be required to do more maintenance, to do more projects to keep it up, right? So now that we know people are spending more time in their homes, it’s likely you’re going to have to do some major repairing or replacing of things. So what are the three most expensive home repair projects?
Daniel Cook:
Well, first off the bat, and especially in Texas, we love our air conditioning, and unfortunately that can get costly. That depends on a lot of variables, but an average system could run you anywhere from $12,000 to $15,000 once you replace it. And when they replace these units, the refrigerant they’re using is changing all the time. So you almost have to replace the entire unit as a whole instead of, like before, sometimes you could replace just the outside piece, or sometimes just the inside, or maybe just the heater portion. Now it just doesn’t make sense, so unfortunately you get stuck replacing an entire system.
Dan O’Malley:
And number two?
Daniel Cook:
Number two is foundation work. We know that the state of Texas has some hard soil, limestone, and different things like that. And we also know that unless we really take care of our foundations by keeping them at a consistent moisture content, making sure we have excellent drainage, making sure we are out there—and we laugh about this—watering our concrete around our home, we’re going to have some foundation problems. And you’ll notice those really quickly inside your home when you start opening and shutting the doors and you have bowing and sometimes flooring issues and different things like that. And that right there can run you a pretty good amount of money. I’ve seen foundation repairs run from $7,500 up to $20,000 or $25,000 depending on the severity that happens on your particular home.
Dan O’Malley:
And then number three?
Daniel Cook:
Well, the dreaded roof. We have a lot of weather around here, and your roofs take a beating. Those are an expensive item. They are the most important thing on the exterior of your home, though, because without the roof being in good shape, you’re going to risk having a lot of water damage on the inside, and it just magnifies all the different bad things that could happen inside and in your attic and all kinds of stuff. Roofs are going up in expense as well. Our average roofs are somewhere between $12,000 and $20,000 in the DFW market depending on the size of your home and anything your roof requires. But those are your top three.
Dan O’Malley:
All right. So now as homeowners, how can we prepare for an HVAC replacement?
Daniel Cook:
Well, the best thing to do for preparation is maintenance. You need to have your system looked at twice a year: once in the spring before you go through the summer, and once in the fall before you go through winter. Those critical times to look at your equipment, clean it, maintain it, and make sure it’s in optimal running condition will extend the life of those units. I’ve seen units last 20 years, and I’ve seen units last four years. Why? Well, because you just can’t put something out there and start running it to death without giving it some time to catch up and doing some maintenance. It’s just like our bodies. You can’t go 24 hours a day without food and water and shelter. But as people, we just think AC is built to run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and it doesn’t need anything.
Dan O’Malley:
Yeah, that’s not the truth.
Daniel Cook:
Yeah, absolutely. You’ve got to think—you can get on some really nice programs with your HVAC providers around here. I know personally we have a couple of companies right here that charge you a small monthly fee, like $29.99, and that goes toward the two services you need twice a year. When they come in, they briefly go up in your attic, they check your system, make sure there’s no dirt on any of the major components, and then they go outside in the springtime and usually wash off your condenser and make sure there’s no debris or dirt collecting around the fins and everything. They just do the checks you need to do. Now, as far as your AC filter, that’s your responsibility. You need to have some type of alarm somewhere in your house or something that says, “Hey, it’s time to change my AC filter out.” And the general rule of thumb is about every three months. Now, there are differences in that too. If you live in a highly dusty area and you’ve got a lot more dust cycling through your home, then that probably needs to be every 60 days. If you’re an individual and you have a smaller home and you don’t have a lot of pets, you don’t have a lot of traffic in that house, maybe you only need to do it every four months. But you all need to figure that out based on your needs.
Dan O’Malley:
And you mentioned pets in there. If you’re running a rescue group out of your house, you may need to do that filter every 30 days type of situation.
Daniel Cook:
Absolutely.
Dan O’Malley:
Now, I know a lot of people have their guard up when it comes to HVAC because for some reason people have been told that the maintenance program for your HVAC company, whichever one you prefer, is some sort of scam. When in reality, what you’re saying right now is that’s not a scam. It’s just smart, so that way your system is taken care of on a regular basis.
Daniel Cook:
Yeah. I mean, is changing your oil a scam in your car? No. If you don’t change your oil, your engine’s going to lock up eventually. Everything in our house, everything we use, needs some type of maintenance. And that’s just the thing. Can you do it yourself? Absolutely. Do you want to take your time, crawl up in your attic when it’s 110 degrees, pull apart your covers, check all your contacts, check your drain pan, blow it out if it needs it, add the mildew fighter that—as water collects in your drip pan—sometimes makes a gunky mixture that clogs up the drain? Are you going to know where your primary or secondary drain is? Will you be checking the balance on your drain pan to make sure it’s proper? Are you going to go outside and clean the condenser with a hose and brush it off slightly and take the cage apart and turn the disconnect and all those things? So if you have a good HVAC company—and I’m not going to lie, there are bad contractors in every business, right?—but make sure you do your research. If there’s a company out there that’s got a great name and they want to be there for you in the emergency before you need a system, that’s who you want. There are so many companies out there that just want to walk in and sell you a system. That’s not what you need to be looking for. You need to be looking for whoever wants to make sure your system lasts 15 or 20 years.
Dan O’Malley:
Before we get into more detail on foundation repair and roof replacements and repair, staying with HVAC just for a little bit longer, how many SEERs do I really need? Because I know that’s an HVAC term. To me, that’s sort of like, do I need a V6 or a V8 engine kind of thing? Some people might say, “I got a 24 SEER,” and they have no idea what that is. Is there a range of how many of those things you actually need in your home?
Daniel Cook:
It changes all the time. As the efficiency of AC units has developed, SEER is basically the efficiency rating that the system is going to have when it’s in your personal home. Now, just because you have a 20 SEER or 22 SEER and the neighbor has a 16 SEER doesn’t mean your utility bills are going to be astronomically different. It could be a different system setup altogether. How your ductwork is run, how many square feet your house has compared to your neighbors, how many rooms and windows face the west and south compared to your neighbors—there are a lot of variables in this whole calculation. There are some relatively medium numbers that the installation tech can go through. How is your system on the outside? How hot does it get? Is it in the shade, or is it on the south side of the house in July? All of these factors come into play. So you really need—and that’s a great question for your HVAC tech—when the time comes for your system to be replaced, don’t get caught up in the words necessarily. Make sure you understand what they mean for your particular home and operation. And I plan on having one of our trusted HVAC partners on the podcast later so he can go more in depth into what he looks at and how the systems are prepared.
Dan O’Malley:
Yeah. Because I think a lot of people are worried about what you mentioned earlier, which is someone coming in and just wanting to sell me a new system—or not only sell me a new system, but they’re trying to sell me the Bugatti of HVAC systems when all I need is a Chevy.
Daniel Cook:
Right. Yeah, absolutely.
Dan O’Malley:
All right. So let’s go into a little more detail on foundation repair. This is something that a lot of times homeowners don’t hear about very often, unless your local meteorologist has recently retired and they’re allowed to do endorsement commercials. A lot of times it’s for foundation repair. Nolan Ryan got in on foundation repair advertisements as well. I do know a little bit about it only because a good chunk of my mother’s house was breaking apart and I told her, “Mom, that’s not right. You need to call a guy.”
So, foundation repair is very frightening and very expensive. Why is it such a problem in Texas, Daniel?
Daniel Cook:
Well, our soil out here, as everybody knows if they’ve ever done a garden or tried to dig a post into the ground here, is very, very hard—clay, limestone. You get down about a foot and a half and you’re starting to hit solid rock in a lot of places. Well, that’s good and bad. As we have our wet months, we have a lot of moisture, and then we go through extreme dry periods and all that moisture gets sucked out of the ground and it starts cracking and everything. Even with sprinklers in your yard, sometimes you don’t get enough moisture around the foundation or your slab, basically. So you have to put a lot of emphasis on making sure you’re protecting your slab.
Some people use soaker hoses. There’s a particular way to install those. A lot of people put them in wrong. They run them all the way next to the foundation, and you can’t do that. You’re supposed to have them a little bit away from the foundation so the soil has about a foot that gets some expansion and soaks into a nice area.
There are so many variables to this. It’s strictly based on the drainage around your home. Do you have proper drainage? Do you need French drains? I can’t tell you how many of the new neighborhoods we go into where the houses are set up on little areas above the sides because they want runoff. The problem is the sides just collect water. So it looks like you have two creeks on the side of your home and it takes three or four days for that to dry up, and then it’s a mud pit and grass won’t grow. So drainage is so important. Sometimes you have to implement French drains. You have to modify the diversion of the water. All of these things come into effect on the foundation.
It’s very important that you keep an eye on your foundation, and it’s very important that you do everything you can to keep it at the right moisture level, because foundation repairs can get scary fast. You’re talking about a small foundation repair could be $7,000 or $8,000. I’ve seen large foundation repairs at $25,000 or $30,000. It strictly depends on what your needs are and how severe it is before you catch it and do something about it.
Dan O’Malley:
So speaking of catching it, what do I need to look out for to see clues that I may have a foundation problem?
Daniel Cook:
Doors that won’t shut all of a sudden. Doors that get really tight trying to open them. You’ll start seeing vertical cracks—and when I say vertical, I mean angled vertical cracks—around the top of doors on the edges of the corners. You’ll start seeing cracks that go out, but they don’t go straight up. They go at a vertical-horizontal kind of angle. That’s a very big foundation telltale. You’ll start seeing them above your windows and doors because that’s where your framing is. You have your framing inside your home and then you’ve cased a window or door in. It doesn’t have the ability of shifting or moving that much, so it causes pressure on that jamb, and that’s what causes the sheetrock to pop out. Because that door is actually twisting and popping the sheetrock out at a vertical. Those are very common things. I’ve even seen floors buckle inside people’s homes if they have hardwood floors or plank floors. Sometimes your windows won’t be able to shut because they get so bound up inside that casing. So those are a few things. Definitely something you need to keep an eye on.
Dan O’Malley:
Real quick, back to the watering of the foundation. So if you see your neighbor out there—hopefully in their black socks up to their knees and sandals—watering directly onto that concrete slab, that’s not the proper way to do it?
Daniel Cook:
Clothing aside, I mean, if you’re going to be diligent and you can do that pretty consistently, I don’t suggest just spraying it down because it’s going to evaporate really quickly. You’re just letting that water slide down the slab and then around the edges, basically.
Dan O’Malley:
So it is okay to do that, but earlier you had said the ideal is to have the soaker hose about a foot away. So maybe do both?
Daniel Cook:
Yeah. I mean, it just depends on what kind of time you have. If you’re able to go around your property every evening and really spray down the foundation and spray down that section around your home, that foot or so away, that’s okay as long as you’re pretty consistent with it. But the problem is, are you going to do that for 100 days in a row in July, August, and September? I don’t know. Most people probably won’t have that much time or won’t want to be out there when it’s 110 degrees. So the soaker hoses are probably your best, easiest, most convenient way of doing it as long as they’re installed properly and have a dedicated water source. I’ve seen people have timers on those. I’ve seen people have shutoff valves that they keep on nonstop and activate when they need to. And it all depends on your home. Sometimes they need to be running for 10 or 15 minutes. Sometimes I’ve heard as much as 30 or 40 minutes because they’re putting out a small amount of water. It’s not like they’re soaking the ground in five minutes.
Dan O’Malley:
Number three on our list of the most expensive home repair projects you will face as a homeowner, and that is the roof. It is very near and dear to your heart, Daniel Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration. Let’s get into the roof. It is scary when you have roof problems as a homeowner. There might be a little leak you’ve noticed in one room of the house, or after a storm you see some shingles around your yard, and now you have to call in a roofer to tell you what’s wrong. How do we prepare for that as a homeowner? What can we do to help our roof situation?
Daniel Cook:
Yeah. Number one most important thing is an annual checkup. We’ve talked about that several times. If you want to protect your roof, have it checked out once a year. And that’s a very simple, easy thing to do. We take care of all of those for any client that’s ours. We go up there, we check all the flashings. We check the nails, make sure they’re fully sealed and not having any kind of open fasteners. We check the shingles to make sure they’re fully adhered. There are no shingles that are loose or missing. We check the accessories, make sure those are fully adhered to the decking still, no exposed fasteners, everything’s working like it should. We look at the sides where the siding meets up to the roof and make sure there are no gaps or areas water can fall between. Then overall we walk around the whole roof and make sure there’s nothing we see—even easy things like trees rubbing along the edges of roofs. That’s very common, and those wear the shingles out. Then all of a sudden you have huge gaps of shingles missing on your roof because the trees rubbed them off.
Those are all things we find. And by coming out once a year and repairing those little things, you don’t have one large issue hit you all at once. When all those shingles are missing and then you get a rainstorm and all of a sudden you’ve got water coming in your house, that’s the worst time to figure out that you need a roof.
Also, by doing some of those preventive maintenance items, just like with everything else, sometimes your roof can be extended because it’s not getting other damage that could have been prevented. So yes, we have a lot of storms and hail and wind and things like that, but once a roof is actually properly installed, the materials we use can withstand a lot of those things. It just needs a little bit of help annually, and you’d be impressed how much longer your roof can potentially last you.
Dan O’Malley:
What is the average lifespan of a roof?
Daniel Cook:
The DFW market is one of the worst in the world. About 7.5 years. So if we’re going to stay in your house eight to nine years now, you’re almost guaranteed you’re going to be replacing a roof sometime while you own your home.
Dan O’Malley:
And I don’t care what the manufacturers of the roofing materials say. They can say this is a 20-year roof, this is a 30-year roof. Well, that’s under perfect conditions. And as we know, North Texas is far from perfect conditions. So that’s why it’s important for homeowners to understand that just because a roof may have been replaced last year and you just bought the house three months ago, that doesn’t mean that roof is perfect. It might have issues already. Not the least of which are storm-related conditions, but you don’t necessarily know if it was installed properly in the first place.
Daniel Cook:
Yeah. And those are things that a home inspector will check when you go through the home-buying process. They’ll check the roof, but it’s still a good idea to call someone like Daniel Cook to come check it because he does roofs every single day. A home inspector will give you kind of a quick glance at certain things, whereas all the guts of it—that’s what a roofer knows. So keeping that in mind, that statistic you just said—DFW’s average roof lifespan is 7.5 years. People are now staying in their homes for over eight years, which means odds are you’re going to have to get a new roof on that house at least once every 10 years, just to use a simple figure.
Dan O’Malley:
How much do roofs cost?
Daniel Cook:
Well again, it’s based on the home that you have. We have some roofs that are $12,000 or $13,000, and unfortunately on some larger homes with more cut-ups and more pitch and different things like that, those roofs can get up to $20,000 and $25,000 if not more. And something you said earlier—this is why they changed it—you probably don’t even know this, but when you shop for shingles, they no longer label them by age. They don’t put a 20-year or 30-year shingle out there anymore. The roofing business got in trouble because of the exact reason you said: people buy a 20-year shingle and it only lasts seven years, and they get mad. So the shingle manufacturers stopped marketing that because it wasn’t happening. They couldn’t defeat the weather, and they couldn’t hold up 20 years in a market like ours. So 20-, 30-, and 50-year shingle labels have been removed from packaging. Now shingles are based on classifications—Class 2, Class 3, Class 4, and other materials made with different things.
And then the other thing you mentioned that a lot of people misunderstand is that a home inspector, like you said, will inspect the property for any known faults or visual things, but necessarily—especially if you have a high-pitch roof, a two-story home with a high-pitch roof—those inspectors aren’t going to be getting on top of those roofs. A lot of times they use drones and they miss some things. And they put in their reports every time: recommend having a certified roofing expert come inspect the roof. We’re only doing this to the best of our abilities.
So even if you buy a home, you need to be prepared that you probably need to have a roofer come out and really check the roof properly.
Dan O’Malley:
Great information as always on those three most expensive projects you will experience as a homeowner. Especially as you mentioned, Daniel, we’re staying in our homes longer, which means we’re going to have to tackle some of these things. Fingers crossed that you never have to tackle more than one at a time.
Daniel Cook:
No, you don’t.
Dan O’Malley:
But if you do, there are excellent experts out there who can help you, like Daniel Cook.
Now that we’ve covered those three things, we want to touch on a few things that we’ll be covering on future episodes of Know Your Home. We’ll be covering these topics and more, such as Daniel?
Daniel Cook:
Yeah. I mean, windows—that’s a very popular topic. A lot of people are put off when they understand how much windows actually cost. Windows are scary because there are so many different kinds and so many different ways you can produce them: single pane, double pane, triple pane, vinyl, interior vinyl. One of my project managers received a quote and it was almost $45,000 to replace the windows in his home. Now, that’s a high quote. That’s not normal. He had, I think, like 36 windows at his house. It’s almost like a house made of glass. But anyway, windows are key. We’re going to have some window experts on the show talking about windows and how to prepare yourself for those costs.
We’re going to talk about wood siding and trim outside your home. Those are volatile situations with our heat and moisture and warping. Paint—how to protect your wood, how to keep it up, keeping your paint fresh, the different styles and levels of paint you can buy. There’s a big difference between homebuilder paint and what you need to apply after you paint your home the first time. So we’ll have some representatives from paint companies talking about that.
Fences—we all know fences are notorious for not lasting very long here. We have a lot of wind, a lot of soil movement, posts getting bent and falling apart. So we’ll talk about how to prevent that and how to make your fence better. We’ll have some fencing experts and materials experts there. Staining—that’s a key item for outside wood. Staining will increase the life of that wood, allow it to stay a little more moist, not dry out as much, and give it a protective barrier.
We’ll also talk about garage doors. We’ll have a garage door expert come in. There are so many different things about a garage door that most people don’t understand. Maintenance on your garage door is necessary. Once a year, have them come out, lube the track, check all the rollers, make sure the chain is right. Those things will extend the life of your opener as well as the door. There’s nothing worse than getting home and your garage door breaks and you figure out how to get in because you don’t have a front door key. I’ve done it myself.
Gutters—what kind of gutters do you need, how many, how many downspouts? There’s some science to that. We’ll have an expert on gutters and we’ll have an irrigation and drainage expert come on. If you own a pool or a spa, that is a whole other world of maintenance that you’re going to need to know. There are a lot of things you can do wrong that will cost you several thousands of dollars about your pool.
Remodels and refreshes—that’s a big topic. A lot of people stay in their homes longer now, and they get tired of that master bathroom, that bedroom, or they want to redo that kitchen. So we’ll have an episode talking about anticipated cost, what means something will be long lasting, staying away from fads, certain hot colors—those are good subject matters that we get asked about every day.
Dan O’Malley:
Yeah, someone putting in a specific tile that they saw on television and then two years later they realize, “I hate this now.”
These are all things that you can do when you’re in your home longer. You can fall back in love with your house. Just change a few things. It’s not necessarily easy. Some of it is, some of it’s hard. And that’s why Daniel has his company. He can help with things like that, as others do as well. If you want to change a tile, they can do that. You want to change the entire room, do that. Change the layout of the house, they can do that. All sorts of great things that we’ll be discussing on future episodes.
However, because you need to know this stuff, we’ll also cover some of the boring things such as homeowners insurance.
Daniel Cook:
Yep. Everybody needs it, unfortunately. And there are a lot of different policies out there. I tell everybody all the time, please, please, please don’t take an insurance policy based just on premium cost. You need to educate yourself on what the coverage is. Make sure you get two or three different quotes. Compare them equally. Make sure you know exactly what the premiums are paying for. So many things can go wrong in insurance. We’ll have some different insurance folks on a couple of casts and we’ll talk about what they offer and what their company’s mission is. So yeah, super important.
And then of course our taxes are our next biggest expense in our home. There are things you need to look at there too. You need to be responsible with your tax bill. Make sure your home is homesteaded if it’s your primary residence. I’ve seen some homeowners unfortunately not know they have to do that after they buy a home, and they let their taxes go up way too fast because homesteading was never enacted. Also, you can protest your taxes every year too. If you think your home is overinflated for taxes, you can protest that. You have to file a special form with the county and sometimes appear at a meeting or hearing and explain why your taxes should be lowered. That’s a super important thing to do too. So we’ll talk about that.
A lot of people don’t know what private mortgage insurance is either—PMI. They see it on their house payment each month, but they don’t know what it is or what can be done about it. A lot of people don’t put 20% down on their homes, so they get stuck with that PMI bill for the rest of their tenure unless they refinance or something. So that’s something to think about.
And then a couple of things as far as protecting homeowners—contractors. Make sure your contractor is in the market for the right reasons and that they’re running their business correctly. It costs a lot of money to run your business properly. Your general liability insurance is there to protect the property and individuals, and workers’ comp is there to protect the workers that are working on your house. If your contractor doesn’t have both, the homeowner is the one that’s going to take the brunt of that responsibility. And that’s scary. If somebody falls off your roof and that contractor doesn’t have workers’ comp and they need $100,000 in medical bills, your personal insurance on your home is going to have to cover that. It’s going to fall down to the homeowner. A lot of people don’t understand that. Very scary. You’ve got to be careful about who’s working on your home.
And then the last one we talked about briefly: home inspectors. We’re going to have a home inspector on the podcast and he’s going to go over what he finds. One thing that shocks a lot of people is that even when they buy a brand new shiny home, he always suggests having it inspected at the time of purchase and also at that 10- to 11-month mark before a lot of your warranties expire. You’d be amazed at some of the things he’s shown me that he has found on those 10- and 11-month inspections that the homeowner had no idea about. By getting that inspection done, they probably saved themselves thousands of dollars of repairs later down the road.
So we’ve got a lot of topics we’re going to be covering. We’ve got a lot of information. I look forward to getting on it. We’ve got several months of content and it’s going to go by pretty fast, but I hope everybody enjoys them and gets a lot of benefit from these podcasts.
Dan O’Malley:
Looking forward to it. Absolutely. And look, let’s be honest. It’s not your fault that you don’t know about these things. It’s not my fault either that I don’t know about these things. That’s why we’re doing this show.
