Historic Tile Roof Restoration in Third Ward

Clay Tile Roofing in Third Ward

Riverside Terrace's grand homes were built by the same architects and craftsmen as River Oaks — and their surviving tile roofs deserve the same preservation-grade care.

Third Ward contains one of Houston's most architecturally significant and historically resonant neighborhoods: Riverside Terrace, where the 1930s and 40s produced grand homes — Mediterranean villas, Georgian and Moderne designs — built by the same architects and to the same standards as River Oaks across town. Clay tile crowns many of them still, original roofs now 80 and 90 years old on a housing stock that generations of families preserved through every chapter of the neighborhood's story.

These roofs get our full preservation approach. Original tile is salvaged and returned; failed underlayment, flashing, and fastening beneath it is renewed to modern standards; and matching for any shortfall comes from the reclaimed pre-war stock we source for historic work across the inner loop. On homes undergoing restoration — and Riverside Terrace's renaissance has many — we protect tile through construction phases and coordinate with the architects and owners bringing these houses back.

We work in Third Ward with the respect its history commands. That means craft that honors what the original builders achieved, dealings that honor the families who kept these homes standing, and pricing that's straight — restoration guidance aimed at keeping irreplaceable roofs on irreplaceable houses, in a neighborhood that knows exactly what it has.
