Old Denton houses, and historic district rules

Denton is two cities in one. Around the square and the two universities, many houses date from the early 1900s through the 1950s, some in the city's local historic districts. Out along I-35 and toward Lake Ray Roberts, the houses are newer and the neighborhoods newer still. Both need roofs, but the old part of town has rules the new part does not.

If your house is in one of Denton's historic districts or is a designated landmark, changing the roofing material, or sometimes even its color or profile, can need approval from the city's historic preservation office before work starts. Replacing like with like is usually simpler. Ask the city before you pick a new material, and have your roofer build the approval into the schedule.

What older roofs hide

A hundred-year-old Denton house may have board decking with wide gaps, cut for wood shingles long ago, several layers of later roofing on top, and chimneys that were never properly flashed. Shingles need a solid deck, so on those houses the price of new sheathing is often the biggest variable in the quote. A full tear-off shows what is there; any roofer quoting a 1920s house sight unseen is guessing.

Older Denton houses often need new sheathing before new shingles.

North Texas hail reaches Denton County too, and university rentals mean many roofs are managed by landlords rather than the people living under them.

Common questions

Does my Denton roof need historic approval?

Only if the house is in a local historic district or is a designated landmark, and usually only when the material, color or profile changes. Check with the city's historic preservation office first.

Why is new decking on my old house so expensive?

Many older homes have gapped board decking meant for wood shingles. Asphalt shingles need a solid deck, so new sheathing may be needed across the whole roof.

Are roofers licensed in Texas?

No. Ask for a certificate of insurance and local references.

Can a roofer cover my deductible?

No. Texas law requires you to pay it.

Which areas do you take calls from?

All of Denton, from the historic neighborhoods near the square and the universities to the newer areas along I-35, Loop 288 and toward Lake Ray Roberts, plus Corinth and Argyle.
