Some homes need more than a new roof — they need a roofing system that matches their architecture, stands up to harsh Gulf Coast weather, and makes a bold visual statement.
That was exactly the case with this waterfront property in Crosby, TX, where our team at STX Roofing took on a complex, multi-level roof replacement designed to deliver both beauty and long-term performance.
A Custom Roof for a Custom Home
This was no ordinary residential roofing job.
The homeowner came to us looking for a solution that would check several boxes: durability, aesthetics, and compatibility with their home’s sharp modern design.
The property sits right on the water, complete with a dock and mature trees surrounding the lot — a picturesque setting, but also one that comes with extra considerations for weather and installation logistics.
Given the home’s upscale stone siding, sharp roof angles, and multiple intersecting ridgelines, it was clear that traditional asphalt shingles wouldn’t do the job justice.
They wanted something that not only lasted but looked the part.
Working with the Elements
From the start, we knew this roof replacement would require careful planning. The home’s position near the shoreline meant the new roof needed to resist high humidity, wind uplift, and the kind of storms Crosby homeowners are all too familiar with. We also had to work around tight property lines, mature trees, and limited rear access.
Our team mapped out a detailed roof installation plan, ensuring safety and cleanliness while protecting landscaping and minimizing disruption. Accessing different areas of the roof — especially with multiple angles and pitches — took precision and coordination.
A Material Upgrade That Made All the Difference
To meet the client’s goals, we installed a premium composite or synthetic slate roofing system. These materials are known not just for their strength, but also for mimicking the timeless look of natural slate without the weight or fragility.
Once complete, the difference was immediate.
The clean lines, consistent shingle pattern, and tight flashing work gave the home a crisp, high-end finish. When compared to the neighboring roofs — most still using traditional asphalt shingles — this property stood out in the best way possible.
Built for the Gulf Coast
Roofing in Southeast Texas is about more than appearance. It’s about resilience.
With hurricane season always looming, homes like this need roofing systems that are built to perform under pressure. The synthetic slate not only handles heat and humidity, but also offers impact resistance — a key feature for homes in storm zones.
From every angle, this roof is now ready to weather what’s ahead — and look good doing it.
