Concrete tile delivers tile aesthetics and longevity at a friendlier price than clay, the pragmatic tile choice for most Frisco homes designed to carry it.
Concrete tile stands up to impact better than clay, comes in profiles that mimic barrel tile, slate, and shake, and costs meaningfully less. Weight is its design constraint: it is the heaviest common residential roofing and needs a structure rated for it. Where the framing supports it, concrete tile delivers strong value per decade on a Frisco home.
Cedar Crest installs and services concrete tile roofing throughout Frisco, beginning with a free written estimate. Our inspections are documented with photos, including the attic side. We never waive a deductible, which Texas law forbids, and we are not a public adjuster. Our guidance centers on whether your structure and budget suit concrete tile.
Concrete Tile Weight and Frisco Framing
Across Frisco’s housing, 47 percent of units were built in 2010 or later, so most framing here is recent. That does not mean every roof was built to carry tile. Before we recommend concrete, we confirm the deck and framing are rated for the load.
Big hail cores can crack concrete tile, and Frisco gets them. Golf-ball hail or larger has fallen within 8 miles of the city on 22 days since 2006, and a 4.5-inch stone was recorded on March 24, 2019. That is why our post-storm checks include the attic, not only the surface. Frisco sits in Collin County, and the same crews cover Prosper and Little Elm.

How old Frisco homes are
Frisco is young by roofing standards: the median home was built in 2009, and 47% of its 80,353 housing units date to 2010 or later. Many of those homes still have the roof the builder installed, now working through its first hail seasons.

Common questions about concrete tile roofing in Frisco
Is concrete tile too heavy for my Frisco house?
That is a structural question with a real answer. Homes designed for tile carry it fine; converting a shingle-framed home to tile requires an engineering check first. We do not skip that step.
Does concrete tile fade?
Surface color mellows over the decades, and most owners consider aged concrete tile handsome. Unlike coatings on metal or asphalt, there is no film to peel; the color change is gradual and even.
Is upgrading from builder-grade shingles worth it in Frisco?
Usually at the first replacement or claim: Class 4 impact-rated systems earn many Texas carriers' premium discounts, and newer communities' HOA standards generally approve them easily. The math works hardest on homes facing decades of DFW hail.
How often does hail hit Frisco?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 47 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 8 miles of Frisco, including 22 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 15 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 2-inch hail on June 2, 2026.
How old are most homes in Frisco?
The median home in Frisco was built in 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 2% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 47% were built in 2010 or later. Many homes here still have their original builder-installed roof.
