Roofing Contractor in The Colony, TX

The Colony began in 1973 as a planned community built by Fox & Jacobs, and that origin still decides how roofs age here. Whole streets of similar homes went up within a few years of each other along the east shore of Lewisville Lake, so roofs on the same block wear out together and face the same storms. We reach The Colony from Irving in about 35 minutes (21 miles) by SH 121, past Grandscape.

Fox & Jacobs Streets and Roofs That Age Together

Many original Fox & Jacobs homes have simple gable roofs, which are straightforward to replace but drain slowly and show sun wear across the whole surface. By now many have been re-roofed more than once, and the patchwork of shingle colors on any given block shows which houses were re-roofed after which storm.

Underneath, decking on these homes has carried several layers of nails and decades of small leaks. Newer neighborhoods closer to SH 121 and in Austin Ranch date from later decades and wear on a different schedule.

Fox & Jacobs built quickly and to a pattern: single-story brick-front houses, low-to-moderate pitches, attached garages and a few box vents for the attic. So the same weak points repeat from house to house. Soffit intake is often thin, which lets attic heat age the shingles from below. Early houses were usually built without drip edge, and decades of gutter overflow have softened the fascia and the first course of decking. Lewisville Lake supplies the rest of the risk: western streets catch wind straight off the water, and a hail cell crossing the lake tends to land on several blocks of same-age roofs at once.

Lakeshore Wind, Hail and Pipe-Boot Leaks in The Colony

Homes on the western streets near the lake and Stewart Creek Park take wind straight off open water. Lifted ridge caps and creased tabs are the result, and a timely roof repair keeps them from turning into leaks.

The other common leak is around plumbing vents. Rubber pipe boots crack in the sun long before the shingles fail, and our pipe boot and vent repair work replaces them cleanly.

Should Your Whole Block Get Roof Replacement After a Lake Storm?

Not automatically. When hail crosses Lewisville Lake it can hit an entire street, but each roof's age and damage differ. We provide hail damage roof repair or full roof replacement based on test squares on your roof, not your neighbor's.

From Stewart Creek Park to Grandscape and Austin Ranch

Main Street (FM 423) runs north–south through The Colony and splits the original Fox & Jacobs neighborhoods down the middle. West of it, the streets roll down toward Lewisville Lake, where Stewart Creek Park and the Shoreline Trail follow the water and The Tribute's golf neighborhood sits along the shore farther north. On the south and east sides, SH 121 carries traffic past Grandscape, the large shopping and entertainment district that has grown up since the mid-2010s. Austin Ranch, at the south end, adds apartments and newer homes with steeper roofs and HOA guidelines to follow.

We come up SH 121 from Irving and turn onto Main Street or Paige Road, so most of the city is only a few minutes past the tollway exit. Mention whether you live lakeside or near Grandscape when you call, since it changes the route.
