Exotic Roofing Done Right
We install and repair premium specialty roofs that boost curb appeal, protection, and long-term value.
Exotic Roofing System
Your Pillar Roofing Concierge will guide you through the Residential Exotic Roofing materials available today. These roofing systems can add curb appeal, improve durability, and help your home stand out while still protecting it from Texas heat, wind, rain, and hail.
Exotic Roofing Material is not a one-size-fits-all service.
Each product has its own structure needs, installation methods, weight, underlayment requirements, flashing details, ventilation considerations, and maintenance plan.
Exotic Style Choices:
Natural Slate roofing for a timeless, upscale look and long service life Clay Tile roofing for classic beauty, color depth, and strong weather resistance Concrete Tile roofing for durability and architectural style
Synthetic Slate or synthetic shake both look like natural materials with less weight Synthetic Cedar-Look specialty for homeowners who want a warm, custom appearance Stone Coated Steel roofing including designer profiles that create a clean, high-end finish
Your Pillar Roofing Concierge will compare the pros and cons of each option, for both appearance and performance.
Exotic Roofing Materials
Stone Coated Steel Material
Stone Coated Steel: is manufactured from galvanized steel panels that are formed into profiles resembling traditional shake, slate, shingle, or tile roofing. The steel is then coated with natural stone granules that are bonded to the surface, creating the rich texture and appearance of conventional roofing materials while maintaining the strength of a steel roof system.
Synthetic Slate Material
Synthetic slate roofing is manufactured from advanced polymer and composite materials designed to replicate the appearance of natural quarried slate. The molds are created from real slate pieces, producing realistic textures, edges, and shadow lines while providing a lighter-weight alternative to traditional stone roofing.
Synthetic Cedar Shake Material
Synthetic cedar shake roofing is made from engineered polymers and composite materials that mimic the texture and character of hand-split cedar shakes. These products are molded from real wood profiles, creating the authentic appearance of cedar without using natural wood materials.
Synthetic Tile Material
Synthetic tile roofing is manufactured from durable composite and polymer materials engineered to resemble traditional clay or concrete roof tiles. The material is molded into authentic tile profiles and colors, providing the distinctive Mediterranean and Spanish-style appearance homeowners desire while utilizing modern materials.

Exotic Roofing Considerations
Specialty roofing is a major investment, so it is important to understand the practical side of the project too. We make sure our customers know what to expect before work begins.
Structural support: Natural slate and tile, are heavier and may require structural review or reinforcement.
Roof pitch and design: Certain roofing materials perform best on specific slopes and architectural styles.
Installation skill: Proper installation is key to preventing leaks, premature wear, and cosmetic issues.
Maintenance needs: Some Exotic Roof Systems need occasional maintenance to stay in top shape.
Budget and lifetime value: Costs are higher, but homeowners like the beauty, longevity, and performance.
Turret & Conical Roof Sections
Turrets & Conical Roof Sections are among the most distinctive architectural features found on custom homes.
Often referred to as "The Witch's Hat" roofs due to their steep, tapered design, these structures require specialized craftsmanship and precise shingle installation techniques.
Unlike standard roof planes, every shingle must be carefully cut and aligned to follow the curved shape of the roof while maintaining proper water shedding and visual symmetry.
The Turret becomes a striking focal point that adds character, elegance, and architectural value to the home.
Our team takes pride in creating clean, uniform shingle patterns that accentuate the beauty of these unique roof structures while providing the same long-lasting protection and performance as the rest of the roofing system.
Specialized Repair for Exotic Roofing Systems
Unlike traditional asphalt shingles, these premium roofing materials often utilize unique fastening methods, custom accessories, and manufacturer-specific installation requirements.
Proper repairs are essential to maintain the roof's appearance, performance, and long-term value.
Exotic roofing materials such as synthetic Slate, synthetic Shake, Stone-Coated Steel, and specialty tile roofing systems require specialized repair techniques and product-specific knowledge.
Your Pillar Roofing Concierge, we carefully match materials and follow manufacturer-recommended repair procedures to help preserve the integrity and beauty of your specialty roofing system.
Special Custom Roofing Details
Premium Raised Ridge Caps: "The Crown of Your Roof"
The ridge is the highest and most visible point of your roof, making it one of the most important details in both appearance and performance. While many roofing systems use basic cut shingles at the ridge, premium raised ridge caps are specifically engineered to create a bold, dimensional profile that enhances the overall look of the home.
Premium Raised Ridge Caps: provide deeper shadow lines and a more pronounced architectural appearance, giving the roof greater depth, character, and curb appeal. From the street, this upgraded profile creates a finished, custom look that stands out from standard roofing installations.
Beyond aesthetics, Premium Raised Ridge Caps are manufactured to withstand the unique stresses that occur at the peak of the roof. They offer improved durability, enhanced wind resistance, and are designed to work seamlessly with modern ridge ventilation systems. This helps protect the most exposed area of the roof while contributing to proper attic ventilation and long-term roof performance.
At Pillar Roofing, we believe the details matter. That's why we offer Premium Raised Ridge Caps options that complement your roofing system and provide the distinctive appearance of a professionally crafted roof. It's a small upgrade that makes a remarkable difference in both beauty and protection.

When installed correctly, a turret becomes a striking focal point that adds character, elegance, and architectural value to the home. Our team takes pride in creating clean, uniform shingle patterns that accentuate the beauty of these unique roof structures while providing the same long-lasting protection and performance as the rest of the roofing system.

"Pillar Roofing replaced my roof and gutters last month and they did an excellent job. Steve and George are awesome! They were very quick to respond and answer any questions that we had. I highly recommend Pillar if you need a new roof!!"
"Can’t recommend Pillar Roofing enough! Steve and Wayne came out within a day of my talking to them, took their pictures and came back with several bid offers, everything from a full rebuild to simply minimal patching. We went with the middle road of doing a liquid TPO, which they got done in record time, and hauled off all their materials. No leaks on that project since, and we had them back out for another roof that started leaking after that terrible 2022 north Texas rainstorm. Same story, record time for the bid, and they got it done with no hassle on our end. Highly recommended! John Lee Harrison- The Armstrong Foundation"

"EXTREMELY SATISFIED CUSTOMER! When I was first shopping for roofers for a major skylight leak I couldn’t even find an honest roofer. We have cameras all around our house. We had two roofers give us a quote to replace the entire roof that didn’t even get on top of our roof! BLAKE from Pillar Roofing came out and then met with me to go over his quote and suggested we get an insurance adjuster out because he saw some hail damage. Our roof was over 20 years old. So we did and the inspector agreed. Blake walked me through the entire process and answered all my questions. His crew showed up even earlier than Blake advised on both days. They cleaned up after demo and after install. They completed the job when Blake advised. The roof looks amazing and all my neighbors are asking for their number! Blake is extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain the process to me and everything he advised was true to what occurred. Blake is personable, patient, and very responsive. I felt completely at ease working with Blake on this major project! I am extremely pleased with Pillar Roofing!!!"

This is an outstanding roofing company."

The man who came to inspect my roof was punctual, very friendly and thorough explaining my options and the procedure. After the insurance agent came to inspect the roof as well, a date was set and that morning the crew arrived and replaced the roof and cleaned up by 5 pm. The roof looks great. The crew was nice. I'm happy. Thank you."

"I could not have asked for better service. I was hit by the two major hail storms in Wylie. After the first one, I contacted Blake Joyce to look at my roof.........wasn't sure if I needed to contact my insurance company. He came out right away and confirmed the call. Needless to say, the second one hit and I then had hundreds of holes in my roof..........water coming in everywhere. My adjuster was already scheduled to come out the day after. Once he gave the OK......Blake had his crew were out to cover the roof that night..........by Friday (which was before the next big rain that came) he had our beautiful new roof going and finished Saturday morning. Thank you Pillar/Blake Joyce for the awesome job done and being so kind and patient! Karen Clevenger"
"Pillar handled the storm repair on my house in Wylie, TX in 2017. They repaired my roof, repaired my gutters, replaced my siding, and recommended a great guy to help repair and update my AC unit. They handled all the arrangements with me remotely as I was living out of state at the time. Their customer service was a huge help to me. They were honest, responsive, and understanding. I highly recommend this family owned company. Thank you Pillar!"
"Pillar Roofing was really great. We had our roof ruined in the spring hail storm of 2017 and they were among many roofers we talked to. Pillar gave us a reasonable quote, they were on time and the work was really terrific. And they cleaned up after the job! I highly recommend them."
"Got hit pretty bad with the Murphy Hail Storm last Spring. Steve the owner was personally engaged as well as several of his staff. He took us through the entire process and explained what to expect and the timing from start to finish. He worked directly with our Insurance company and assured all our damage was repaired and even pointed out things to the adjuster that we had no clue were covered. Very satisfied with the results and the professionalism of the crew. While I hope we never have to go through that again, you can be sure we will be calling Pillar Roofing if we do."

"Great company, great customer service!"
"I recently (late 2014) had a fairly major interior and exterior paint job, and woodwork replacement, done to my house. Our house is completely painted brick and fascia, a rather large job. I couldn't be happier with the level of service I received from Pillar Construction. I am a very picky person and they more than satisfied me. I would be happy to answer any questions from a perspective customer, or anyone else, but can't say enough good things about the services performed. They exceeded my expectations!!"
