What We Install in the Park Cities
Metal Roofing
Standing seam, R-panel, and stone-coated steel. The system most often specified where hail performance and service life matter more than up-front cost.
Slate Roofing
Natural slate installation and repair. Structural load gets verified before anything is specified, and repairs are matched rather than patched.
Tile Roofing
Clay and concrete tile, plus lift-and-relay when the underlayment fails before the tile does.
What These Roofs Require
Original Slate and Tile
Much of the Park Cities went up between the 1930s and 1950s, and a great deal of that original slate and clay tile is still in service. It is repairable well past the point most crews would call it finished.
Access and Staging
Narrow drives, alley access, and mature trees over the roofline make these properties harder to stage than a suburban lot. That gets planned before the truck arrives.
Matching Matters
On a home of this age, a repair that does not match reads as a patch permanently. Sourcing slate to match quarry, color, and thickness is most of the work.
Two Cities, Two Different Roofs
Highland Park and University Park are separate municipalities with different housing and different roofing problems. Pick the one you're in.
Highland Park Roofing
A town of roughly 10,000 with pre-war estate housing, much of it still under original slate or clay tile. Constrained access and tight town standards on exterior work.
University Park Roofing
Developed through the 1930s to 1950s, with estate properties in Volk Estates alongside cottages near SMU — and decades of teardown-and-rebuild in between.

Does S&B Roofing serve the Park Cities?
Yes. S&B Roofing & Exteriors serves the Park Cities from our office at 525 Keller Pkwy in Keller, (817) 281-6433. Inspections are free and include a written report with photos.
What exactly are the Park Cities?
The Park Cities are the town of Highland Park and the city of University Park — two separate incorporated municipalities surrounded by the city of Dallas, along with the SMU campus. They share a school district and a general character, but they are governed separately and their housing stock differs.
Do Highland Park and University Park need different roofing approaches?
Often, yes. Highland Park skews earlier, with a higher concentration of pre-war estate homes still under original slate and tile. University Park runs a wider range, from estate properties in Volk Estates to cottages near SMU, and has seen far more teardown-and-rebuild. The material you are standing under matters more than the city line.
Do you work in Preston Hollow?
Yes, though Preston Hollow is a Dallas neighborhood rather than part of the Park Cities. It sits adjacent and shares much of the same estate-scale housing and specialty roofing.
Why does specialty roofing experience matter here more than in the suburbs?
Because the material is different. Slate is hung rather than nailed tight, and tile cracks when it is walked incorrectly. Both punish crews trained only on asphalt shingle. On Park Cities roofs the failure mode is almost always workmanship rather than material.
Slate, tile, and metal roofs can take hail damage that is hard to judge from the ground. Our storm and hail damage page covers how we inspect and document it.
