Highland Park homes are some of the oldest and most distinctive in Dallas County. Development began in 1907, and the town's streets are full of homes in traditional and historic styles, where the roofing material, ridge details and gutters have to match the architecture. Zeus Exteriors, LLC is a family-owned roofing and exterior contractor with a 5.0-star Google rating across 183 reviews. We handle careful roof repair and replacement, chimney and flashing work, and gutters, and every job starts with a free 9-point inspection.

Highland Park streets and housing
Early additions
Highland Park started in 1907. The Lakeside addition followed in 1910, with more additions in 1915, 1917 and 1924. Many original-era homes have been renovated over the years, and their roofs often hide several generations of flashing and decking.
Beverly Drive
Beverly Drive has notable Beaux-Arts, Italianate and Spanish Colonial Revival homes, where tile, slate-look and custom metal details are common.
Turtle Creek
Large estate homes along Turtle Creek, some designed by noted architects such as Anton Korn, have lawns that run down to the creek and complex, steep rooflines.
Storms near Highland Park
NOAA records few events in Highland Park itself, but damaging hail and tornadoes have hit just outside town:
- May 16, 2021: an EF0 tornado formed at Williams Park, northwest of Highland Park in University Park, and moved into Goar Park (NOAA report).
- June 13, 2012: baseball-size hail caused heavy roof damage in the Lakewood area of Dallas, east of town (NOAA report).
- July 8, 2009: golf-ball-size hail fell at Skillman St and Richmond Ave (NOAA report).
Because these older homes often have tile, slate-look or custom roofs, we document storm damage carefully before anyone walks on fragile materials.
Roofs on older Highland Park homes
- Tile and slate-look roofs on Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean homes.
- Designer shingles matched to traditional and Tudor-style homes.
- Chimney caps, crowns and step flashing on masonry chimneys.
- 4–6 inch seamless gutters matched to the house's trim.
One reviewer had us replace a chimney cap and repair two chimney crowns on a historic Queen Anne Victorian. That's the kind of detail work older Park Cities homes need.
Respecting the architecture
On older Highland Park homes, a roof has to work and also look like it belongs. We match ridge details, gutter profiles and the color and texture of the roofing to the style of the house, and we handle chimney caps, crowns and step flashing with the same care. For tile and slate-look roofs, we set up roof access and walking paths so the inspection doesn't crack anything, and we protect landscaping and hardscape throughout the job. Neighbors on these close-set streets get a heads-up before we start.
Highland Park reroof permits
Highland Park requires roofing contractors to register with the town and to obtain a building permit for a reroof. Registration, permits and inspections are handled through the town's online OpenGov portal. The town's master fee schedule lists the current reroof permit and contractor registration fees. We register and pull the permit before work begins.
Filing a hail or wind claim in Highland Park
On older Highland Park homes, a claim may involve matching specialty materials. We document the existing product so your adjuster can price a proper match. We're a roofing contractor, not a public adjuster or attorney; your insurance company decides coverage. Texas law (Business & Commerce Code §27.02) prohibits contractors from waiving or rebating your deductible, so we never offer to.
- Look from the ground, not the ladder. Check gutters, downspouts, window screens and the A/C unit for dents; those are clues the roof was hit too.
- Book a free inspection. We send you dated photos and a straight answer on whether there's claimable damage.
- Know your policy. Confirm your deductible and how long you have to report damage before you file.
- Meet the adjuster together. We'll walk the roof with your adjuster and show every documented hit.
- Approve the scope and the start date. We order materials, pull the permit and schedule the install.
