Argyle General Contractor for Equestrian Estates, Master-Planned Homes, and Commercial Builds Since 2006
TriStar Built is the Argyle general contractor families, equestrian-property owners, and I-35W commercial tenants call when a project has to clear the Town of Argyle's 2015 IBC permit path, the Agricultural Preservation District and Equestrian Overlay, and the tree preservation ordinance that protects mature pecan and oak canopies. We have been a locally owned concrete, roofing, and remodeling contractor in Argyle since 2006. Our crews build from the Argyle Equestrian District and Bonnie Brae Street estates out to Canyon Falls, Harvest, Waterbrook, and the Heritage development at I-35W and Robson Ranch Road.
Across Argyle: TriStar Built's Equestrian and Master-Planned Contractor Profile
Argyle is an incorporated Denton County town of roughly 5,200 residents (2026 estimate, up from 4,403 in 2020), shaped by rolling wooded hills, the Argyle Equestrian District's large-lot estates, and three commercial arteries: I-35W, FM 407, and FM 1171.
The Town's housing mix ranges from 1-to-5-acre equestrian properties along Bonnie Brae Street to 1990s-and-later master-planned communities. Three of the largest are Harvest (Hillwood's 12-acre-lake agrihood), Canyon Falls (1,200 acres at the Argyle, Flower Mound, and Northlake tri-corner), and Waterbrook (105 acres at Hwy 377 and Frenchtown Road). TriStar Built has worked across this footprint since 2006, delivering concrete driveway installation, concrete foundations and slab work, home remodeling, commercial roofing, and residential roofing for Argyle ISD, Denton ISD, Lewisville ISD, and Flower Mound ISD households.
Every Argyle project is engineered for Denton County's expansive clay of the Blackland Prairie, the Town's 2015 IBC permit path, the Agricultural Preservation District and Equestrian Overlay zoning, and the tree preservation ordinance that protects mature pecan and oak canopies. Active memberships include the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association (NTRCA) and the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).

Concrete Driveways Across Argyle's Equestrian Lots and Master-Planned Subdivisions
Driveways in Argyle pour across two distinct property profiles: 1-to-5-plus-acre equestrian estates with rolling-terrain access drives, and 40-to-70-foot master-planned subdivision lots in Harvest, Canyon Falls, and Waterbrook. We pour concrete driveways for Argyle homes with rebar reinforcement, soil-specific subgrade conditioning, and control joints cut on a schedule that the Denton County clay actually respects. Whether the property is a Bonnie Brae equestrian parcel or a lot adjacent to Harvest Town Center, our crews handle the Town of Argyle permit and the pour as a single coordinated job.
We design and pour long-access driveways and trailer-turnaround aprons for Argyle Equestrian District properties, with thickened-edge slabs and granular-base subgrades for two-horse and four-horse trailer loads. The Equestrian Overlay setback dimensions are confirmed during the Town of Argyle permit submittal, so the apron sits inside the buildable footprint.
We pour driveways in Harvest, Canyon Falls, and Waterbrook subdivisions with HOA-approved finish selections (broom, exposed aggregate, stamped, integral color) and 4-inch slabs reinforced with #4 rebar on 18-inch centers. Each pour package goes to the HOA architectural committee in parallel with the Town of Argyle permit application.
Argyle's rolling wooded hills mean grade changes block to block, so subgrade preparation and drainage design vary lot to lot. We use moisture-conditioned subgrade on expansive-clay sections, geotextile separation where the plasticity index warrants it, and engineered grade-away detailing. Hence, water clears the slab edge before it reaches the house.
Foundations and Slab Work for Argyle's Rolling-Terrain Sites
A foundation in Argyle addresses Denton County's expansive clay of the Blackland Prairie, the Town's rolling-terrain drainage variations, and the Agricultural Preservation District or Equestrian Overlay conditions when a parcel sits within one. We pour post-tension slabs, monolithic slabs, and pier-and-beam foundations across Argyle, a foundation contractor familiar with the Town's 2015 IBC, Denton County floodplain administration for Barton Creek tributaries, and the tree preservation ordinance. Our foundations pass every footing, pre-pour, and final inspection on the first walk when we have clean site access.
We pour pier-and-beam and drilled-pier foundations on multi-acre equestrian estates where lot lines transition across grade and soil profiles. Barn pads, indoor-arena slabs, and accessory-structure foundations are designed in conjunction with the main residence, so the geotechnical report covers all structures on the parcel.
We prepare stamped plans, site drawings, geotechnical reports, and MEP details to the Town of Argyle Building Department's 2015 IBC standard. Permit timeline runs 5 to 10 business days for residential and 15 to 30 business days for commercial once the submittal is complete, and we keep the architectural overlay reviews on the same calendar.

Home Remodeling for Argyle ISD Households and Estate Properties
Argyle's housing stock splits into two broad bands: 1-to-5-plus-acre custom estates and equestrian properties along Bonnie Brae and the rural sections, and 1990s-and-later master-planned tract homes in Harvest, Canyon Falls, and Waterbrook. We provide full home remodeling services for Argyle homeowners, including kitchen and bathroom renovations and whole-house remodel projects. Every design runs through the Town of Argyle's 2015 IBC building review and through HOA architectural committees in master-planned communities.
We handle cabinetry, counters, island reconfiguration, lighting, and appliance upgrades for ranch-style and modern-farmhouse estate kitchens across the Argyle Equestrian District. Open-plan reconfiguration and butler-pantry additions are a common scope for owners hosting on-property events.
We complete full tear-outs, tile and plumbing reroutes, and primary-suite expansions for households in Argyle ISD, Denton ISD, Lewisville ISD, and Flower Mound ISD, planning to stay long-term. Accessibility retrofits for owners aging in place across the older Bonnie Brae estate band are a growing share of the work.
We build second-story additions, wing expansions, and whole-house remodel projects on multi-acre Argyle parcels. Where the project changes the building footprint within the Agricultural Preservation District or near a protected tree canopy, we front-load the overlay and tree-preservation packages so that the Town's review timeline is not extended.
Commercial Roofing for I-35W, FM 407, and Heritage Development Tenants
Commercial buildings in Argyle see spring hail, open-prairie wind exposure on the I-35W corridor, and the rapid 2025-2026 build-out at Heritage (the 123.93-acre mixed-use development with the 50-acre Baylor Scott & White wellness campus) and Harvest Town Center (138,000 square feet, anchored by Tom Thumb). As a commercial roofing contractor serving Argyle, we install, inspect, and replace commercial roofs across the I-35W, FM 407, and FM 1171 retail bands, while protecting tenant operations during the reroof.
We perform post-storm inspections, pre-purchase inspections, and annual maintenance inspections on retail, office, and healthcare roofs across the Heritage development and Harvest Town Center. Every inspection is documented with photography and a written report, which we send to the insurance carrier on request.
We complete TPO and modified-bitumen patching, flashing reseals, and penetration re-flashing for FM 407 and FM 1171 retail tenants and office occupancies. We schedule around tenant operating hours so retail and restaurant tenants stay open during the workday.
We handle full tear-offs and replacements in TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and metal across Argyle's I-35W mixed-use footprint. Material choice follows occupancy, insurance class, and the Town of Argyle's 2015 IBC commercial assembly requirements, with healthcare-tenant infection-control protocols followed when applicable.
Residential Roofing for Argyle Equestrian Estates and HOA Homes
Argyle residential roofing is wind-and-hail country with a tree-canopy twist. The North Texas hail corridor puts 1 to 2 significant hail events per decade in Denton County, and Argyle's mature pecan, oak, and cedar canopies drop debris between storms. As a residential roofing company serving Argyle, we install Class 4 impact-resistant asphalt shingles, EuroShield rubber shingles, and standing-seam metal roofs across both equestrian-estate residences and Harvest, Canyon Falls, and Waterbrook tract homes.
We provide free post-storm inspections, full photo documentation, and direct communication with your insurance adjuster on Argyle Equestrian District residences and the rural-acreage band along Bonnie Brae. We have worked every major carrier writing policies across Denton County, including State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, USAA, and Travelers, on Argyle Equestrian District claims and Bonnie Brae acreage roofs.
We handle full tear-off and replacement, including color-matched drip edge, upgraded underlayment, and ridge vent installation, across the Harvest, Canyon Falls, and Waterbrook subdivisions, with HOA architectural-committee color and profile selections confirmed before the tear-off starts. Most Argyle reroofs take 1 to 3 days to complete.
We install Class 4 impact-resistant asphalt, EuroShield rubber, and standing-seam metal roofs, paired with manufacturer warranties and our written workmanship coverage. Valley and chimney detailing are sized for the pecan-and-oak debris load typical of Argyle's tree-canopied lots, and we document the Class 4 rating on every invoice so owners can claim Denton County insurance discounts where carriers allow them.

Yes, the Town of Argyle requires permits for new construction, additions, structural remodels, reroofs, driveway pours, and most mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. Projects within the Agricultural Preservation District, the Equestrian Overlay, or a tree-preservation parcel add ordinance-level review on top of the standard permit. We handle the Town submittal and the overlay review for you.
The Town of Argyle has adopted the 2015 International Building Code, paired with the current National Electrical, International Plumbing, and International Mechanical Codes, each with local amendments published by the Town of Argyle Building Department. Projects inside the Agricultural Preservation District, the Equestrian Overlay, or a designated HOA add ordinance-level or covenant-level review on top of the IBC path.
The Agricultural Preservation District applies to Argyle parcels designated for ranch, equestrian, or large-lot rural use, with minimum lot sizes of 1 to 2 acres in AG zones. New builds and additions inside the district need a zoning-compliance review before the Town of Argyle issues the permit. We prepare the AG-overlay package alongside the standard permit application so the two reviews close together.
The Equestrian Overlay allows livestock on qualifying parcels and protects barn, stable, and accessory-structure setbacks. Building within the overlay requires the Town of Argyle to confirm compliance with setback requirements, livestock-density limits, and accessory-structure ratios before a foundation permit is issued. Our project manager runs the overlay confirmation alongside the geotechnical report, so foundation work is scheduled only after the overlay confirmation is approved.
Argyle's tree preservation ordinance protects mature pecan, oak, and hardwood canopies on developed and developing parcels. Removal or significant root-zone disturbance requires a tree survey, a mitigation plan, and Town review before the building permit is issued. We commission the tree survey and prepare the mitigation submittal during the design phase, so the approval aligns with permit issuance.
Yes. We handle commercial roof installation, inspection, and replacement at Heritage (the 123-acre I-35W mixed-use development with the Baylor Scott & White wellness campus) and Harvest Town Center (138,000 square feet, anchored by Tom Thumb). Material choice follows occupancy, insurance class, and the Town of Argyle's 2015 IBC commercial assembly requirements, with tenant operations protected during reroof scheduling.
The Town of Argyle permits Argyle ISD school-zone properties to operate on parallel tracks. The Town handles building permits regardless of which ISD the address falls within (Argyle, Denton, Lewisville, or Flower Mound). Our project manager files the Town submittal and confirms ISD attendance only when a project's scope or schedule overlaps with school-year traffic, transportation, or safety routing.
