A shake look for Argyle acreage
Argyle is on U.S. 377 about six miles southwest of Denton. Peters Colony families settled the area between 1850 and 1867, and Census estimates show it growing from 4,399 residents in 2020 to about 6,372 in 2025. Much of it is acreage and estate lots, with Hill Country, farmhouse, Texas ranch and traditional homes that were built to look right with a wood shake roof. On open lots with few trees, those roofs take full sun, full wind and the area's hail.
Real cedar shake needs regular care and can split, cup and lose pieces in storms. Enviroshake is a composite made to look like cedar shake, it weathers toward a natural gray, and qualifying products carry a published UL 2218 Class 4 impact rating.
| Collection | Look | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Enviroshake | Composite cedar-shake profile that weathers toward a natural gray | Hill Country, ranch and traditional homes, and houses replacing cedar shake |
| Enviroslate | Slate look, much lighter than stone | Homes that want a slate look without slate weight (compare tile roofing in Argyle for heavier options) |
| EnviroShingle | Enviroshake's third residential line | We bring samples of all three to compare on the house |
Wind on open lots
Estate lots in Argyle take more wind than a sheltered subdivision. With any shake-style roof, the edges are where trouble starts: eaves, rakes, hips and ridges. Enviroshake's installation guide calls for four nails per piece in marked nailing areas, and we follow it on every piece, including at the edges where the wind loads are highest.
Installed the way Enviroshake requires
Enviroshake's installation page says every jobsite needs a Factory Trained lead installer, each piece gets four nails in its marked nailing areas with a gap between pieces, and Enviroshield synthetic underlayment is required for its Gold-Level warranty. In hail country it also recommends snow guards. We follow that guide on every roof and handle the warranty registration. Enviroshake advertises a transferable 50-year limited lifetime material warranty for registered roofs installed by a Factory Trained Installer.
Pairing Enviroshake with metal on the barn and porches
Argyle properties often have a barn, shop, guest house or pool cabana as well as the main house. A common setup is Enviroshake on the house and standing seam on the porches and outbuildings, formed on our own roll formers in a color that ties them together. Our Clay County ranch estate paired Enviroshake with in-house standing seam; that project is in Clay County, not Argyle.
Hail near Argyle
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists more than 60 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Argyle from 2016 through the September 2026 update. They include 4.25-inch hail near Corinth on March 26, 2017, 4-inch hail near Ponder on May 10, 2021, and on June 11, 2023 3.5-inch hail near Bartonville, about 2.5 miles from Argyle. On April 1, 2024, 2-inch hail was reported near Argyle itself. No roof is hail-proof, but Class 4 is the top rating under UL 2218. Texas insurers must offer a premium credit for UL 2218 impact-rated roofs, but each company sets its own amount, and Class 4 earns the largest. We can't promise a discount; ask your insurer for their figure in writing. After a qualifying install we fill out TDI Form PC068 for you. If you file an insurance claim, we document the damage and meet your adjuster on the roof. Texas law requires you to pay your deductible, and a contractor may not waive, absorb or rebate it. We never will.
