Area profile

Where The Colony started, and where its oldest roofs sit.

Original Town is the city's first core, the late-1970s and 1980s single-family neighborhoods near Lewisville Lake that were here before the 1990s and 2000s buildout spread across the rest of The Colony. On a roof, being first means being oldest. A standard asphalt shingle roof runs a couple of decades, so an original covering from this era is well past that, and even a home that has been re-roofed once may be on a covering that is itself getting on in years.

On homes this old the sound work is usually a full, careful read rather than a chase after one bad spot. A roofer grades the whole field for brittleness and granule loss, checks flashing that may predate the current shingles, and dates every photo, so plain age is never billed as storm damage and a real hit is never lost inside old wear. When a roof is genuinely at the end, a roofer lays out a clean replacement and the shingle options that suit an older home, in writing, rather than papering over a covering that is done.

On a roof here

On the oldest housing in town, age leads the read.

An old roof keeps its history in the layers, and reading it right calls for an unhurried, in-order look. These are the things a local roofer puts on record first around Original Town.

i On the record

01Where the whole covering stands: On roofs from the late 1970s and 1980s the real call is the state of the whole field, so a roofer grades it for brittleness and granule loss first.
02Layers and flashing from another decade: An old roof may hold an earlier re-roof and flashing set long ago, so a roofer reads the layers and the metal at valleys and walls first.
03Plain age against a fresh hit: On a covering this worn a new hail bruise can vanish into ordinary decay, so a roofer dates the photos to keep storm damage and old age apart.

A roof with this many years behind it earns a patient free inspection, since the story down in the layers rarely reads from the driveway.

Questions

Questions from Original Town's older streets.

What homeowners near the original core ask most.

Q1My Original Town home still has what looks like an old roof. How do I know it is time to replace it?

Age is the strongest clue here: a standard asphalt roof runs a couple of decades, and the original late-1970s and 1980s housing is well past that. The surer answer is the roof itself, where brittle, curling shingles and worn, bald spots say more than any date. A roofer grades the whole field on foot and gives you a straight read, in writing.

Q2My house was re-roofed years ago. Does that change things?

A past re-roof can change things, though one done years back may itself be aging now. A roofer reads the current covering and the flashing beneath it, notes how much life is really left, and tells you plainly whether you are looking at a targeted repair or a covering that has reached the end. Nothing is assumed from the paperwork alone.

Q3Can a new roof still suit an older Original Town home?

Usually, yes. A roofer weighs shingle profile and color against the existing roofline so a new roof reads as though it belongs, and the shingle options run from architectural asphalt to heavier profiles that suit an older home. Any subdivision or HOA guidelines get settled before the order goes in, not discovered partway through.

Q4After a hailstorm, should a roof this old get inspected?

Getting a roof this old inspected after a hailstorm makes sense. On a worn covering a fresh hail bruise can vanish into ordinary decay, so it is easy to miss real, claimable damage. A roofer separates a genuine hit from plain age, dates the photos, and can walk you through insurance help if what is up there warrants a claim.

Q5Do the roofers cover the older streets near the lake?

Yes. The original neighborhoods nearest Lewisville Lake inside ZIP 75056 are everyday coverage. Send the form and a local roofer follows up to set an on-foot look at your roof, on your schedule.

No push, and nothing owed for the look.
