These FAQs cover premium and specialty roofing systems for homes and buildings across the Fort Worth area. For standard shingle options and pricing, see our Roof Replacement, Materials, Cost & Financing FAQs.
Texas Select Construction installs a wide range of specialty and premium roofing systems for properties across Fort Worth and North Texas, including natural slate, clay and concrete tile, copper roofing and metalwork, cedar shake and wood shingles, standing-seam metal, and high-performance synthetic and composite systems such as DaVinci, Brava, and Inspire. We also offer historic roof restoration for older and architecturally significant buildings.
These materials offer longer life spans, distinctive looks, and stronger performance against hail and heat than standard shingles. Specialty roofing is a growing focus for our team because it lets property owners match a roof to the architecture and the Texas climate rather than settling for a one-size-fits-all product. During a free assessment, we can show you samples, explain the performance differences, and help you weigh the higher upfront cost against decades of added service life and curb appeal.
Yes to both. Texas Select Construction installs standing-seam metal roofing throughout North Texas, and we also install traditional and architectural asphalt shingles. Many homeowners come to us specifically because they want one roofing contractor who can do both and give an unbiased comparison.
Standing-seam metal costs more upfront but lasts longer, resists hail and fire well, and reflects heat effectively in the Texas climate, with clean lines that suit both modern and traditional homes. Architectural shingles are more affordable and still perform well, especially in impact-resistant grades. Because we install both, our recommendation is based on your building, budget, and how long you plan to stay — not on which product we happen to sell. You can explore our metal roofing and asphalt shingle service pages to compare.
Slate, clay, and concrete tile roofs require specialized knowledge, and Texas Select Construction repairs these systems for properties in the Fort Worth area. Cracked or slipped tiles, broken slate, failed underlayment, and damaged flashing are common issues, and an improper repair can do more harm than good — walking a tile or slate roof incorrectly, for example, can break more pieces than it fixes.
Our team handles these materials with the care they demand, sourcing matching pieces where possible and protecting the surrounding roof during the work. Because slate and tile can last for decades, a quality repair is usually well worth it compared with replacement. If you have a slate or tile roof in Tarrant County that needs attention, we can assess the damage and recommend the right fix.
Yes. Texas Select Construction installs copper roofing and architectural copper metalwork for homeowners and building owners in the Fort Worth area who want a distinctive, long-lasting roof. Copper is prized for its beauty, the natural patina it develops over time, and a service life that can stretch for generations. It is often used for accents such as bay windows, dormers, and turrets, as well as for full standing-seam roofs.
Copper work rewards craftsmanship, because the soldering, seaming, and detailing determine both the look and the long-term watertightness. Our team handles these details carefully and can show you examples and options before fabrication. If you are considering copper for a feature area or an entire roof on your North Texas home or building, we welcome the conversation.
Yes. Texas Select Construction installs and repairs cedar shake and wood shingle roofs for properties across the Fort Worth area. Cedar offers a warm, natural look that suits certain architectural styles beautifully, and quality cedar roofing, properly maintained, can last for decades.
Wood roofing does require more upkeep than synthetic or metal options, and it performs best when installed correctly with proper ventilation and treatment. We can explain the maintenance involved and help you decide whether natural cedar or a synthetic product that mimics its look is the better fit for your home and the Texas climate. If you have an existing cedar roof in Tarrant County that needs repair or replacement, our team can assess its condition and lay out your options.
Synthetic and composite roofing systems replicate the look of premium materials — slate, cedar shake, or tile — using engineered polymers that are lighter, tougher, and often more affordable to install than the natural product. Texas Select Construction installs leading synthetic systems including DaVinci, Brava, and Inspire for properties across North Texas.
These systems are popular in the Fort Worth climate because they pair high-end curb appeal with strong impact and weather resistance, and many carry high impact ratings. They also avoid some of the maintenance and weight concerns of natural materials, while delivering a look that is hard to distinguish from the real thing. During a free assessment we can show you samples and explain how each product performs, so you can decide whether a synthetic roof fits your home and budget.
Yes. Historic roof restoration is a specialty service for Texas Select Construction, and it calls for a different approach than a standard replacement. Older and architecturally significant buildings in the Fort Worth area often feature slate, tile, copper, or wood roofing chosen to match the original design, and preserving that character while meeting modern performance standards takes care and experience.
We assess the structure, source period-appropriate materials where possible, and use methods that respect the building’s history. Whether your property is a historic home, a church, or a landmark commercial building in Tarrant County, we can evaluate the roof and recommend a restoration approach that protects both its appearance and its integrity. If other contractors have been hesitant to take on your historic roof, we welcome the opportunity to take a look.
