Polymer shake is molded from real cedar shakes, so it carries the texture of wood without the cleaning-and-treatment cycle that cedar demands in a DFW climate. Quality synthetic lines carry Class 4 hail ratings and strong fire ratings with no added treatment. The honest trade is character: real cedar weathers into something individual, while polymer stays uniform year after year. Cedar Crest installs and services synthetic cedar shake in Flower Mound, and every project starts with a free written estimate and an inspection documented with photos. If insurance is involved, we will not waive your deductible, because Texas law forbids it, and we are a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster.
Why a polymer shake suits Flower Mound roofs
Flower Mound’s median home was built in 1997, and 74 percent of its housing went up between 1980 and 2009. Many of those homes have reached the age where the builder’s original roof is being reconsidered, and plenty of owners want a shake look the builder never offered. Only 5 percent of homes predate 1980, so the framing questions tend to be simpler than in older towns. Hail is the other reason this product fits. Within 7 miles of the city there have been 34 days of hail an inch or larger since 2006, 15 of them golf-ball size or bigger, and the largest stone measured 4.25 inches on June 11, 2023. A polymer shake flexes under impact where cedar splits, which is what a Class 4 rating is meant to show. Our Denton County crews also cover Double Oak and Bartonville on the same routes.
