Real cedar asks for attention; polymer shake does not. Molded from actual shakes, quality synthetic lines carry Class 4 hail ratings and strong fire ratings without treatment, and never need the cleaning-and-treatment cycle wood demands in a DFW climate. The trade is character: cedar ages into individuality, polymer stays uniform.
We install and service synthetic cedar shake across Highland Park and the surrounding DFW communities. You get free written estimates, documented inspections, and honest guidance on whether this system actually fits your home and budget.
The Highland Park specifics
There is a Highland Park version of the Synthetic Cedar Shake decision, and it is not the generic one. The neighborhoods skew established: multiple roof generations behind them, big tree canopies overhead, and original decking that deserves inspection before anything new goes on. For that housing, the composite pitch is simple: the look that suits the street, minus wood’s maintenance ledger, plus a Class 4 rating.
The permit runs through Highland Park’s building department; we handle the filing and the inspection scheduling as part of the job. When the next core drops through Dallas County, polymer profiles rebound where wood splits and brittle materials crack, which is what the Class 4 rating is for. Because Dallas, Irving, and Garland share our dispatch routes, examples of this exact system nearby are easy to arrange. If the roof is not a fit for this system, the inspection says so; that answer is free too.
