Preston Hollow roofing a roofing contractor needs to be well - acquainted with Preston Hollow homes before starting any work.
It’s a Dallas district characterized by larger lots, established live oak trees and a mix of 1950s ranch - style homes and more modern ones built on lots where the older houses had been torn down over the last two decades.
Homeowners’ associations are active and picky, the Architectural Review Committee has its own schedule and priorities and homeowners notice when an unrelated contractor fails to comply.
Our work throughout Preston Hollow since the early 2000s has acquainted us with which product lines sail through the ARC first submission, which products must be adjusted or changed later on and what contractors get approved when required.
HOA - Aware Roofing in Preston Hollow
In Preston Hollow, a homeowner who wishes to make any change to the home’s exterior - including replacing the roof - must first submit a formal application and proposal to the Preston Hollow HOA’s Architectural Review Committee.
Approval can take 15 to 30 days but has been as long as over six weeks due to either project complexity or incomplete submissions.
We pride ourselves on turning in complete, comprehensive packages on day one: product data sheets, product color swatches linked with an ARC approved color, copies of current state licenses and a project letter addressed with ARC’s requirements for scope information.
Approved roofing colors in Preston Hollow consist of neutral - colored materials that typically lean toward dark charcoal gray, weathering browns, andslate colors.
Bright or bold, stark, high - contrast colors generally result in objections from committee members.
Most current homes in the area have installed roofs that fall within the approved palette since 2011 when Preston Hollow homeowners voted on guidelines for roofing.
Even if your existing roof predates these guidelines, roof replacement would make you compliant, a factor you need to be aware of when selling the home.
These types of details are noted when we survey your home, we don’t wait for the ARC to return a revision on what needs to change later on.
In some portions of Preston Hollow, contractorpre - approval also is required by the HOA.
We maintain current documentation so your HOA contact has the required documents within 24 hours of their request.
Storm and Hail History
Preston Hollow has seen several significant hail events pass through it, especially along the corridor between north of Royal Lane and LBJ Freeway, within the North Dallas corridor.
In April 2021, large hail fell throughout the north and east sides of Dallas County in the path of the supercells that swept north and east through Dallas County.
In May 2023, winds in Dallas exceed 70 mph, with hail in parts of north and east Dallas County, many homes having installed roofs longer than 12 years had their shingles lose their granulates, ridge caps lifting upward or shattering entirely.
Many Preston Hollow homes have a mix of heavy tree cover over them.
Even with a substantial tree canopy that provides a wonderful aesthetic to Preston Hollow homes, impact damage varies greatly by slope.
On many roofs that experienced impact from large hail, there might be significant damage, dents or loss of granulate to one slope, but none or minimal damage to an adjacent side of the same slope.
This uneven distribution caused some homeowners to submit lower - than - deserved estimates with their insurance claims.
Our process thoroughly inspects every roof slope, providing dated photographs that are geo - tagged and also submitted timestamped.
This evidence supplies your adjusters a total scope of damage so they can be confident in approving your claim.
This provides less guesswork for the adjusters, reduces your exposure of out - of - pocket payments for deductible amounts for the hail damages and ensures a swifter approval.
Homes We’ve Already Served Here
Pro Exteriors has performed roofing services on homes all over Preston Hollow across numerous streets and in clusters across the neighborhood.
Most recently, we completed the replacement of a 1960s brick ranch located at the corner of two streets.
The old wood underlayment in many places didn’t even require to be removed, the rotted deck planks simply were removed for redecking and afterward, new underlayment and shingles were applied.
The color chosen matched one from the approved list specified by the HOA’s ARC.
Additionally, we renovated a large chimney chase on a custom 2008 build.
In this case, a former roof contractor used improper flashing and placed field shingles over flashing, but as this was found to cause minor leaks under severe rainstorms, we repaired the flashing details and applied matching shingles across the roof area.
A third project on a newer transition style home involved a client upgrading from a three - tab shingle to a thicker dimensional shingle product.
We coordinated all ARC communications and approvals for that project.
ARC approval was given within 18 days and installation was finished over two days.
Our project archive includes photographs of each of the three homes as well as other satisfied customers: project archive
Materials We Recommend for Preston Hollow Homes
For a majority of homes, we use three roofing manufacturers whose products routinely satisfy Preston Hollow’s ARC requirements and have proven reliable to handle both North Texas weather and Texas hail.
- **Owens Corning Duration Series: ** The Owens Corning Duration series comes with SureNail technology and is rated for winds up to 130 miles per hour (mph).
This type of wind resistance is ideal given the severity of hailstorms that can and have impacted homes located here in North Dallas.
Among its collection are some outstanding color selections such as Teak, Driftwood and Estate Gray.
These selections seamlessly fit within Preston Hollow’s list of accepted roof colors as outlined by the neighborhood’s ARC.
- **GAF Timberline HDZ: ** The LayerLock technology coupled with an impact - resistant upgrade option through the Timberline Armor Shield II, both integrated into the Timberline HDZ line, give these shingles the highest impact resistance rating, Class 4.
Some home insurance providers in Preston Hollow offer a reduction on homeowner insurance policies by accepting this rating, so many homeowners choose the Class 4 option while still fulfilling aesthetic demands required by the HOA ARC.
- **CertainTeed Landmark Pro: ** CertainTeed Landmark Pro dimensional shingles feature a bolder shadow line, making it a superior selection to standard architectural - grade shingles if your home’s pitched rooflines are visible from the street level.
This design provides a visually stronger, more robust roof that has appeared aesthetically pleasing when it appeared in photographs used for ARC submissions on many Preston Hollow homes, notably Moire Black and Weathered Wood which passed ARC approval during our last few projects in the area.
Each of the aforementioned roofing product manufacturers offer a limited workmanship warranty when professionally installed by a certified roofer.
Pro Exteriors currently maintains its certification with Owens Corning, GAF and CertainTeed.
