Clay tile is the original: the terracotta barrel and flat profiles that define Spanish and Mediterranean homes in Lewisville, fired to a color that never fades.
In clay tile, the color runs through the material instead of sitting on top as a coating, so a Lewisville clay roof looks the same in year forty as in year four. Clay is lighter than concrete tile but more brittle, costs more, and rewards installers who respect its handling. On architecture built for it, nothing else looks right.
We install and service clay tile across Lewisville. Every quote is a free written estimate, every inspection is documented with photos, deductibles are never waived because Texas law prohibits it, and we stay in our lane as a roofer rather than a public adjuster.
Clay Tile and Lewisville Framing
Tile is as much architecture as roofing: it has to suit the elevation, and the framing has to be verified for the weight before anyone talks color. Most Lewisville homes, 63 percent, were built between 1980 and 2009, and another 23 percent date to 2010 or later. Each one gets a structural check before we quote clay, because a house framed for lighter roofing needs that answer first.
Brittleness is the other half of the picture. Hail of one inch or larger has hit within 7 miles of Lewisville in 15 separate years out of the last twenty, and the June 11, 2023 storm produced stones of 3.0 inches. Big hail can crack tile, so our post-storm checks include the attic side, not just the surface. Lewisville is in Denton County, and we cover Lake Dallas and Highland Village on the same routes.

Common questions about clay tile roofing in Lewisville
Clay vs concrete tile in Lewisville: what is the real difference?
Clay holds color permanently and weighs less but costs more and is more brittle; concrete is tougher and cheaper with color that mellows over decades. Both need structure rated for tile weight.
Is clay tile practical in DFW hail?
Clay can crack in significant hail, though individual tiles replace readily, which is the system's design logic. Owners committed to the look accept occasional tile replacement as part of a fifty-year roof.
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.
