Roofing in Arlington, TX

Arlington, a historic early 20th-century streetcar suburb in far south Dallas, is defined by its quiet, tree-lined streets and a rich collection of Craftsman bungalows, Prairie-style houses, and Tudor Revivals built between the 1910s and 1940s. These homes give the neighborhood its character, but they also come with specific roofing challenges tied to their age and architectural details. Many original wood shake roofs on 1920s bungalows are now prone to rot and present a serious fire risk.

Because Arlington Park is a designated Historic District, any roof replacement visible from the street must be reviewed by the Dallas Landmark Commission. Dallas Roof Master works closely with homeowners to select fire-rated alternatives—such as synthetic slate or cedar-look composites—that match the original historic profiles and meet preservation standards. The low-slope porch roofs common on Craftsman bungalows also require special attention; aging flat roofing materials often lead to ponding and leaks due to inadequate drainage.

We address this with tapered insulation systems and modified bitumen or PVC membranes designed for low-slope applications, ensuring water flows properly and your porch remains dry. Additionally, the neighborhood’s mature live oaks and pecans along streets like 8th Avenue drop heavy limbs during spring storms, which can cause impact damage to asphalt shingle roofs. We install impact-resistant shingles that hold up against falling debris while maintaining the classic look of your home.

Our crew knows Arlington well—we’ve worked on homes near the Arlington Park Recreation Center, Elmwood Park, and along the Bishop Boulevard corridor. When you hire Dallas Roof Master, you get a team that understands the unique needs of your neighborhood and respects its history.
