Specialty Roofingin Fort Worth, TX
Fort Worth has more historic and estate roofs than people realize: Craftsman bungalows in Fairmount, Prairie homes on Elizabeth Boulevard, and tile and slate estates on the west side. These roofs need repair before replacement, and a crew that knows the material.
Materials and neighborhoods where this work comes up most.
Slate
Natural slate can outlast several shingle roofs. Most problems are failed flashing or broken pieces, not the slate itself.
Clay tile
Common on west side estates. Cracked tiles from hail can often be replaced one by one.
Cedar shake
Natural shake ages and splits in Fort Worth heat. We repair, replace, or show you synthetic options that resist hail.
Copper
Copper valleys, bay roofs, chimney caps and gutters, formed in our own shop.
Historic districts
Fairmount and Elizabeth Boulevard homes need a Certificate of Appropriateness for roofing changes.
Estate homes
Rivercrest, Monticello and Tanglewood homes with complex rooflines and premium materials.
On these roofs, restoring first usually saves the most.
Restoration
- Replace broken slates or tiles individually.
- Rebuild flashing and valleys, often in copper.
- Keeps the original material and look.
- Usually the first thing to try.
Replacement
- Underlayment failed across the roof.
- Material past repair or salvage.
- Reuse salvageable tile or slate where possible.
- Like-for-like keeps historic approval simpler.

Can you repair my slate roof instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. Slate itself lasts a very long time. Most leaks come from flashing or a few broken pieces, which we can replace.
Do I need city approval for a roof in Fairmount?
Yes. Fairmount is a Fort Worth historic district, so roofing changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness before permits. Like-for-like work is usually the simplest to approve.
Can hail-damaged clay tile be fixed?
Usually. We replace cracked tiles individually and match them as closely as possible. Keeping a few spares from the original roof helps.
Are there hail-resistant options that look like shake or slate?
Yes. Synthetic shake and slate products are available with impact ratings. Check whether your historic district or HOA allows them.
Do you do copper work in-house?
Yes. We form copper valleys, flashing, chimney caps and gutters in our own shop.
