Synthetic shake delivers cedar's texture without its maintenance calendar. It is engineered polymer for Lewisville owners who love the look but not the upkeep.
Synthetic cedar shake gives a Lewisville home the split-wood texture of cedar without the upkeep real wood asks for. Quality polymer lines are molded from actual shakes, carry Class 4 hail ratings and strong fire ratings without any treatment, and skip the cleaning-and-treatment cycle that cedar needs in a DFW climate. The honest trade is character: cedar weathers into individuality, while polymer stays uniform.
We install and service synthetic shake across Lewisville, and every job starts with a free written estimate and an inspection documented with photos. If a storm claim is part of the picture, we never waive the deductible, because Texas law prohibits it, and we work as your roofer, not as a public adjuster.
Why Polymer Shake Makes Sense on Lewisville Roofs
Lewisville’s housing is mostly late twentieth century. The median home was built in 1997, 63 percent of houses date from 1980 to 2009, and only 14 percent predate 1980. Homes of that era rarely wore real wood shake, so choosing a shake look here is usually a design upgrade at replacement time, and polymer delivers it without committing the owner to a wood maintenance schedule.
Hail is the other reason owners land on this material. Since 2006, the area within 7 miles of Lewisville has logged 34 days with hail of one inch or larger, 14 of them golf-ball-size or bigger, and the largest stone measured 3.0 inches on June 11, 2023. Polymer shake flexes and rebounds where wood splits, which is what the Class 4 rating is meant to show. Lewisville sits in Denton County, and the same crews install synthetic shake in Highland Village and Hickory Creek.

Common questions about synthetic cedar shake in Lewisville
Synthetic shake vs real cedar in Lewisville: the honest comparison?
Cedar wins on authentic character and ages into individuality; synthetic wins on maintenance, fire rating, and hail resistance. Budget long-term care into cedar's price when comparing.
Do synthetics fade?
Quality lines are through-colored and UV-stabilized, so expect gradual mellowing over decades rather than the peeling or streaking of coated products.
Do you install this on shops and outbuildings near Lewisville?
Yes. Barns, workshops, and outbuildings are first-class projects out here, not afterthoughts, and the material conversation (usually metal-forward) covers them alongside the house.
