Tile on Argyle acreage
Argyle is on U.S. 377 about six miles southwest of Denton. Peters Colony families settled the area between 1850 and 1867, when it was known as Pilot Knob or Waintown, and Census estimates show it growing from 4,399 residents in 2020 to about 6,372 in 2025. Much of Argyle is acreage and estate lots, and Mediterranean, Spanish and Hill Country-style homes on those lots often carry concrete or clay tile — usually with a barn, shop, guest house or pool cabana nearby that needs a roof of its own.
One property, several roofs
| Building | What we usually recommend |
|---|---|
| Main house | Clay or concrete tile — repaired, re-laid on new underlayment, or replaced |
| Guest house or pool cabana | Matching tile, framed for the weight, or standing seam in a color pulled from the tile blend |
| Barn or shop | Standing seam or R-panel formed on our own roll formers (barn and shop roofs) |
Because we do tile and metal with our own crews, the whole property can be handled in one contract and one schedule.
Repair, lift-and-relay or replace
- Spot repair: a few cracked or slipped tiles, a pipe flashing or a valley on an otherwise sound roof.
- Lift-and-relay: the tile is fine but the underlayment beneath it is failing. We stack the tile, install new underlayment and flashing, and reset the same tile. See tile repair and reset.
- Replacement: tile is broken widely or discontinued, or you want a new color or profile. Compare clay and concrete tile.
Wind and open country
Estate lots with few trees and open pasture take more wind than a sheltered subdivision. Tiles at eaves, rakes, hips and ridges need to be fastened to the manufacturer's high-wind details, not just set and nailed in the field. When we find slipped or lifted tile on an Argyle roof, the cause is often fastening at the edges — and we fix the cause, not just the tile.
Hail in southern Denton County
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, with 4.25-inch hail farther east the same day. Concrete tile can crack or lose its surface in large hail, and clay can break — but tile also breaks when someone walks it wrong. 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.
How we inspect a roof you can't walk like a shingle roof
Slate and tile break under the wrong footstep, so a careless inspection can cause the damage it's looking for. We plan a walk path, step only where the pieces are supported, use roof ladders and pads where needed, and fly a drone over the areas that aren't safe to walk. Every inspection comes with a free digital photo report, so you see what we see. The report separates old breaks, fresh breaks and installation problems, because they lead to very different answers.
Town of Argyle permits
The Town of Argyle requires permits before alterations or repairs of existing buildings, and every contractor must register with the town each year before permits are issued. Switching a house from shingles to tile adds a lot of weight, so we check the framing and confirm the town's requirements for that scope before we start.
