Brava Roof Tiles in Frisco, TX: HOA Approval, Hail, and What It Costs

Most Frisco homeowners who call us about Brava ask the same three questions, usually in this order: will my HOA approve it, will it really survive the hail, and what does it cost. We are a Brava Preferred Contractor certified on all three product lines, and these are the answers we give at the kitchen table.

Will a Frisco HOA Approve a Brava Roof?

Usually, yes. But approval is something you get before you sign a contract, not after. Nearly every Frisco neighborhood, from Starwood and Stonebriar to Newman Village, Phillips Creek Ranch, and Richwoods, has an architectural review committee and written roofing standards. Most of those standards were written years ago around asphalt shingles, wood shake, or clay tile, long before composite tile looked the way it does now.

What a committee is actually judging is how the roof reads from the street: the profile and thickness of the tile, the color, and whether it sits comfortably next to the neighbors. That is where Brava does well. The tiles are molded from real slate, hand-split cedar, and clay barrel tile, so the shadow lines and texture are what the committee expects to see from the original material.

Texas law also helps, within limits. Section 202.011 of the Texas Property Code says an association cannot prohibit an owner from installing shingles designed to be wind and hail resistant, as long as they resemble the shingles already used or authorized in the subdivision, are more durable and of equal or better quality, and match the look of the surrounding homes. Notice the word “resemble.” The statute is strongest when the new roof looks like what the neighborhood already allows, such as composite shake replacing wood shake. It does not settle whether a slate or barrel-tile profile belongs on a street of asphalt shingles. That decision stays with your committee. Read your own deed restrictions, and treat this as background rather than legal advice.

When we prepare a submittal, we give the committee physical tile samples, manufacturer spec sheets, the Class 4 impact and fire-rating documentation, the exact color selection, and photographs of a finished installation. We have worked through this process with committees in Southlake, Westlake, and Colleyville.

How Brava Handles Collin County Hail

Frisco sits in one of the most hail-active corridors in the country, and that is the reason most homeowners start looking past asphalt. Brava carries a Class 4 impact rating under UL 2218, the highest available. The test drops a 2-inch steel ball from 20 feet onto the same spot twice, and the tile has to survive both strikes without cracking.

It is also wind rated to 188 MPH with ring-shank nails and 211 MPH with a screw-down fastening schedule.

Most Texas carriers discount the dwelling portion of your premium by 20 to 35 percent for a Class 4 roof. The discount is not automatic. Your agent needs the documentation, and we provide the certification and product specifications at closeout.

Five Things to Do Before You Sign

1. 1Pull your deed restrictions and architectural guidelines and read the roofing section.
2. 2Look at physical samples on your own roof, in daylight, in the color you are considering.
3. 3Submit to your architectural review committee and get the approval in writing.
4. 4Confirm your installer is certified by the manufacturer, because the warranty depends on the fastening schedule being followed.
5. 5Ask for an itemized estimate that separates materials, labor, and tear-off.
