Make Roofs Great Again."
After the recent severe winds we had some roof damage that Firewheel took care of. They were fast, responsive, helpful, and very reasonably priced. We're happy with the work, and would definitely recommend them.
Rolling out to your roof…
University Park mixes 1920s to 1950s cottages and Tudors with large new homes on the same tree-lined blocks. We repair and replace roofs across the city, register with the city and pull the re-roof permit.
Make Roofs Great Again.University Park began as a cluster of homes around the young SMU campus, incorporated in 1924, and grew from about 1,200 residents to more than 24,000 by 1950. That growth left a deep stock of 1920s through 1940s homes: Tudors, Colonials, Spanish and Mediterranean revivals, and storybook cottages in the style of Charles Dilbeck, many with steep gables, dormers, slate or clay tile, and copper flashing. Since then, a steady wave of teardowns has put large new homes with complex rooflines right beside the originals in neighborhoods like Volk Estates, University Heights and Caruth Hills. On the older houses, the underlayment and flashing often wear out long before the slate or tile itself.
The Park Cities share the same spring hail and wind that cross Dallas County every year, and University Park's tight lots and dense canopy shape how roofs here age. Mature shade trees line nearly every street, so limbs fall onto roofs in storms, leaves pack valleys and gutters, and shaded slopes stay damp long enough to grow algae and moss. Houses sit close together, which limits sun and airflow on side slopes. Hail is especially costly on slate and tile, where individual pieces crack, and walking on those roofs without care breaks more. The failures we look for most are cracked slate and tile, worn valley metal, leaks at dormers and chimneys, and clogged gutters overflowing at the eaves.
The City of University Park includes a residential re-roof permit in its building fee schedule, and contractors must register with the city before work starts, through its online MyGov system. Permit questions go to the Community Development department, and we pull the permit as part of the job. Most of University Park was platted long before modern HOAs, so many owners answer to city codes and their deed restrictions rather than an association board. If you are moving to a heavier material such as slate or tile, confirm the framing can carry it before ordering. Busy streets near SMU and Snider Plaza also make dumpster placement and crew parking part of the plan.

In University Park, a roof is often part of the home's architecture. Matching original materials on a prewar house, sealing complex new-build rooflines and keeping valleys clear under heavy canopy all call for patient, careful work.
