Concrete tile delivers tile aesthetics and longevity at a friendlier price than clay, the pragmatic tile choice for most Carrollton homes designed to carry it.
Concrete tile stands up to impact better than clay, comes in profiles that mimic barrel tile, slate, and shake, and costs meaningfully less. Weight is its design constraint: it is the heaviest common residential roofing and demands a structure rated for it. Where the framing supports it, concrete tile delivers strong value per decade on a Carrollton home.
We confirm that fit with a free written estimate and a photo-documented inspection. Deductibles are not waived, per Texas law, and Cedar Crest is a contractor, not a public adjuster.
Framing Checks Before Concrete Tile in Carrollton
Carrollton’s 54,365 housing units have a median build year of 1988, and 58 percent were built from 1980 to 2009. Much of that stock was framed for lighter roofing, so a concrete tile quote here starts in the attic, checking decking and framing before any profile is picked. Homes built in 2010 or later, 16 percent of the total, get the same check.
The payoff is impact resistance in an active hail area. Since 2006, 26 days have brought hail an inch or larger within 6 miles of Carrollton, and the largest stone measured 3.0 inches on June 6, 2018. Big cores can still crack concrete tile, so post-storm checks cover the attic side as well as the surface. Our Dallas County crews serve Lewisville and Farmers Branch too.

Common questions about concrete tile roofing in Carrollton
Is concrete tile too heavy for my Carrollton house?
That is a structural question with a real answer. Homes designed for tile carry it fine; converting a shingle-framed home to tile requires an engineering check first. We do not skip that step.
Does concrete tile fade?
Surface color mellows over the decades, and most owners consider aged concrete tile handsome. Unlike coatings on metal or asphalt, there is no film to peel; the color change is gradual and even.
Should we match the original material when re-roofing in Carrollton?
Not automatically. A roof on its second or third cycle is a chance to rethink: Class 4 asphalt for the insurance math, metal or premium systems where the home and horizon justify them. We quote the honest options against your actual house.
