Synthetic slate and shake systems reproduce premium roof aesthetics in engineered polymer that is lighter than the natural materials they emulate, with impact ratings suited to Lewisville hail country.
Synthetic roofing exists because slate’s weight and cedar’s upkeep turn away many Lewisville homeowners who love those looks. Engineered polymer tiles solve both: a fraction of slate’s weight, none of cedar’s treatment schedule, and Class 4 impact ratings across most product lines. The honest trade is authenticity up close and a shorter track record than the centuries-old materials they imitate.
Every synthetic estimate is free and put in writing, with inspection photos attached. We do not waive deductibles, because Texas law bars it, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster.
Polymer shake and slate for Lewisville homes
Lewisville’s hail record is the main reason owners ask about synthetics. Hail an inch or larger has hit within 7 miles on 34 days since 2006, 14 of them golf-ball size or bigger, and the June 11, 2023 storm reached 3.0 inches. Polymer profiles rebound where wood splits and brittle materials crack, which is what their Class 4 rating is for.
The housing fits the product well. With a median build year of 1997 and 63 percent of homes from 1980 through 2009, many Denton County houses here are due for a replacement decision, and a lightweight synthetic offers the slate or shake look without slate’s weight or cedar’s maintenance. We install composite roofing in Lake Dallas and Highland Village too.

Common questions about composite / synthetic roofing in Lewisville
Do synthetic roofs look fake in Lewisville?
From the street, good synthetics read convincingly as slate or shake, because molds are cast from natural materials. Up close the uniformity shows; most owners consider it a fair trade for weight and hail performance.
How do synthetics handle DFW hail?
Most quality lines carry Class 4 impact ratings, and the polymer flexes where slate cracks and cedar splits. It is one of the category's strongest arguments in Lewisville.
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.
