Tile Roof Replacement in University Park

University Park is one of those Dallas neighborhoods where the roof is part of the architecture, not just a cover for it. Mediterranean revival, Spanish colonial, and traditional homes here were drawn around their tile rooflines — the curve of barrel tile against stucco, the way a hipped ridge cuts the skyline, the patina that develops over decades of Texas sun. When a tile roof in University Park needs replacing, the harder problem isn't the roofing — it's preserving what made the home distinctive in the first place.

What This Project Required

This was a complete tile roof replacement on a Mediterranean revival home — full tear-off, deck inspection, new underlayment, and reset of new tile in the original color and profile. Tile roofs reach the end of their service life when the underlayment beneath them gives up, which typically happens after two to four decades of weather exposure. The visible signs are familiar to homeowners here: cracked or slipped tiles after a hailstorm, damp spots in upstairs ceilings during the spring rain stretch, granule wash at the downspouts where the membrane is finally going. Once the underlayment fails, a tile roof stops being weathertight — the tile itself can still look intact from the street while water is finding its way down the rafters.

Our crew handled the tear-off and decking inspection first. On older Park Cities homes the original 1×6 plank decking is often still in place, and we look for any boards that have softened around penetrations or under chronic flashing leaks. New synthetic underlayment was installed across the deck, with appropriate flashing details at every valley, sidewall, and pipe penetration before any tile went back on. The ridge and hip lines were rebuilt to match the home's original detailing, and the field tile was set to follow the original course pattern.

Why Tile Replacement in University Park Has to Be Approached Differently

Tile is not a like-for-like commodity replacement. Profile, color blend, and ridge detailing all change between manufacturers and product runs, and a roof that's been on a home for thirty years rarely has a current SKU available off the shelf. Matching the original — or finding a current product that reads the same from the street — takes time and judgment. On this project the homeowner wanted the new roof to look like it belonged on the home from day one, not like a renovation. We sourced and approved the tile profile and color blend with them before any material was delivered.

The other piece University Park homeowners care about is workmanship that respects the original architecture. The hip lines, the eave returns, the way the tile breaks against the stucco — these are details that show whether a roofer worked through the install carefully or rushed it. Chris Arrington's background in architecture (Texas Tech) shapes how our crews approach tile work: the field is straightforward; the geometry is where the craft sits.

What You Get When We're Done

A new tile roof from our residential roofing team includes a full deck inspection and any decking repair before the underlayment goes down, full tile roof replacement with profile and color matched to the original, rebuilt ridge and hip lines, all new flashings and penetration details, a clean job site at the end of every day, and a documented walkthrough once the project closes. We're family-owned, in DFW since 1983, BBB A+ accredited since 1995, and we work the way we'd want a contractor to work on our own homes — because most of the time, we are.

Serving the Park Cities

Arrington Roofing serves all of the Park Cities and the wider Dallas area. If you're considering a tile replacement, the right time to start the conversation is well before the next significant rainfall — tile failure usually shows up at the underlayment first, and once it's leaking inside, the timeline gets compressed.
