Real slate is striking and extremely heavy, and most Euless homes were never framed to carry it. Polymer slate closes that gap. It is cast from real slate molds, goes on with standard installation techniques, and is rated Class 4 for hail, so a home that could never hold the stone can still wear the slate look. We start with a free written estimate and an inspection documented with photos. Deductibles are never waived, as Texas law requires, and Cedar Crest is not a public adjuster; we are the contractor who builds the roof.
Slate style for Euless homes built around 1986
The median Euless home was built in 1986, and 55 percent of the city’s housing dates from 1980 to 2009. Those framing packages were designed for lighter roofing, which is why a composite slate that installs like a standard system fits this stock so well. Only 13 percent of homes were built in 2010 or later, so most roofs we inspect here sit on an existing structure with its own history, and the deck gets checked before anything new is installed. Weather sets the rest of the terms. The largest hail recorded within 5 miles was 3.0 inches on April 13, 2007, and 13 of the last 20 years saw hail of an inch or more. Brittle materials crack under that; a Class 4 polymer slate is built to take it. Our Tarrant County crews cover Grapevine and Colleyville with the same system.
