Real slate looks superb and weighs more than most house frames were built to carry. Polymer slate gets the look without the load: it is cast from real slate molds, goes on with standard installation techniques, and carries a Class 4 hail rating. For a Flower Mound homeowner who wants a slate roofline on a conventionally framed house, it is the practical route. Cedar Crest provides a free written estimate for synthetic slate, and our inspections come with photos so you can see what we saw on your roof. We never waive an insurance deductible (Texas law prohibits it), and we do not act as a public adjuster on claims.
Slate style on Flower Mound’s conventionally framed homes
Nearly three quarters of Flower Mound homes, 74 percent, were built from 1980 through 2009, and another 21 percent date from 2010 or later. Those houses were framed for conventional roofing rather than stone, which is why polymer slate is usually the realistic way to put a slate profile on them. Brittle materials are a poor bet here anyway. The area has logged 34 days of hail an inch or larger since 2006 within a 7-mile radius, and hail of that size showed up in 14 separate years. A molded polymer tile absorbs those hits instead of cracking the way natural slate can. Flower Mound sits in Denton County, and the same crews that install synthetic slate here also work in Trophy Club and Highland Village.
