Decatur, TX General Contractor for Concrete, Remodeling, and Roofing Since 2006
TriStar Built is the Decatur, TX general contractor homeowners, business owners, and historic-district property stewards call when a project has to withstand Wise County's expansive clay soils, Cross Timbers storm exposure, and 2021 IBC permitting. We have been a locally owned, fully insured team providing concrete, roofing, and remodeling services in Decatur since 2006. Our crews build across the Wise County Courthouse square and every residential and commercial neighborhood around it.
About TriStar Built in Decatur, TX
Decatur, TX is the seat of Wise County, a community of 6,538 residents anchored by the 1896 Wise County Courthouse, the Waggoner Mansion ("El Castille") on East Main Street, and a historic Town Square that still operates under Texas Main Street Program design guidelines. TriStar Built has worked inside this environment since 2006, delivering five core services to Decatur property owners: concrete driveway installation, concrete foundations and slab work, home remodeling, commercial roofing, and residential roofing.
Every project is engineered for Wise County's Western Cross Timbers geology, the high-plasticity, expansive clay soils that swell more aggressively than the Denton County Blackland Prairie next door, and built to the City of Decatur's 2021 International Building Code, with Historic Preservation Commission review when the site sits within the downtown district. Our crew holds the current Best of Town Decatur recognition (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024), a 2018 Golden Hammer award, and active memberships with the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association (NTRCA) and the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).

Concrete Driveway Installation in Decatur, TX
Decatur driveways live and die by the soil beneath them. Wise County's high-plasticity expansive clay moves vertically as much as 2–3 inches between wet spring seasons and dry summer heat, which is why we over-build every driveway slab with reinforced rebar, engineered subgrade preparation, and control joints placed on a schedule the soil actually respects. Whether the property is a 1920s bungalow off Main Street or a new build on acreage outside the city limits, we pour concrete driveways in Decatur, TX that last, and we pull the Decatur permit with you when required.
Broom finish, exposed aggregate, stamped concrete, and integral color are all appropriate finishes for Decatur Historic District review when the driveway is visible from a public right-of-way.
We use moisture-conditioned subgrade, geotextile separation where the plasticity index warrants it, and a minimum 4-inch concrete slab with #4 rebar spaced at 18-inch centers for residential drives. Commercial and heavy-equipment drives go thicker. Every concrete slab we pour in Decatur carries an engineered soil report on file.
Annual crack sealing, joint re-caulking, and pressure washing. The same crew that installed your drive can maintain it.
Concrete Foundations & Slab Work in Decatur, TX
A foundation in Decatur is a structural answer to Western Cross Timbers clay. We pour post-tension slabs, monolithic slabs, and pier-and-beam foundations across Wise County as a foundation contractor serving Decatur, TX, each one specified against soil test results and the City of Decatur's 2021 IBC adoption. Our foundations carry warranty-backed engineering and pass every required inspection checkpoint (footing, pre-pour, and final) on the first walk when the owner gives us clean site access.
New-build post-tension slabs, pier-and-beam for historic-footprint additions, and structural slab repairs for expansive-clay movement. We work with local structural engineers who are familiar with Wise County soils.
Warehouse floors, retail pad sites along Business 380 and the I-35W frontage, and thickened-edge slabs for equipment loads. We coordinate with Decatur Planning & Zoning and, for sites outside city limits, Wise County directly.
Annual crack sealing, joint re-caulking, and pressure washing. The same crew that installed your drive can maintain it.
Home Remodeling Services in Decatur, TX
Decatur's housing stock splits into three broad eras: Victorian and early-1900s mansions near the courthouse, mid-century ranches in the post-war neighborhoods, and contemporary farmhouse builds on rural acreage outside the city. We provide full home remodeling services in Decatur, TX, for all three, covering kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and whole-house remodel projects. Every historic-district project is designed with the Decatur Historic Preservation Commission in mind, and every suburban and rural remodel is engineered for expansive clay, current 2021 IBC requirements, and the realities of living in a working home while crews are on site.
Cabinetry, counters, lighting, and layout reconfiguration for 1920s craftsman kitchens and mid-century ranch galley conversions. We keep historic moldings where they matter and modernize where they don't.
Full tear-outs, tile work, plumbing reroutes, and accessibility upgrades for single-story Wise County ranches.
Second-story additions, room expansions, and whole-house remodel projects. Historic Commission submittals are handled in-house when the address is inside the downtown district.
Commercial Roofing in Decatur, TX
Commercial buildings in Decatur share one exposure profile: Western Cross Timbers wind events and spring hail. That exposure hits retail on the Town Square, office and professional services off Business 380, and the warehouse and light-industrial stock along the I-35W frontage. As a commercial roofing contractor serving Decatur, TX, we install, inspect, and replace commercial roofs on that exposure every year, and we handle the insurance-claim coordination that follows the storms Wise County experiences every two to three spring seasons.
Post-storm inspections, pre-purchase inspections, and annual maintenance inspections are each documented with photography and a written report, which we send to the insurance carrier when requested.
TPO and modified-bitumen patching, flashing reseals, and penetration re-flashing for restaurant and retail roofs around the courthouse square.
Full tear-offs and replacements in TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, and metal. Materials are selected based on the building's occupancy, insurance class, and visibility within the historic district.

Wise County sits just inside the broader North Texas hail corridor, and we see damaging events often enough that most homeowners file at least one roof claim per decade.

Yes. The City of Decatur requires permits for new construction, additions, structural remodels, reroofs, driveway pours that change drainage, and most mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work; projects within the Historic Downtown District also require review by the Historic Preservation Commission before permits are issued. We handle the permit application and HPC submittal for you.
The City of Decatur has adopted the 2021 International Building Code (IBC), the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) for one- and two-family dwellings, the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC), and the 2021 International Plumbing and Mechanical Codes, each with local amendments published by the Decatur Building Department. Projects inside the Historic Downtown District are also subject to the Decatur Historic District Design Guidelines administered by the Historic Preservation Commission.
Standard residential permits for re-roofs, driveways, and interior remodels are typically issued within 5–10 business days once the City of Decatur Building Department has a complete submittal. Commercial projects run 10–20 business days and may extend further if Planning & Zoning review or a variance is required. Historic District exterior projects add another 15–30 days because they require Historic Preservation Commission sign-off before a permit is released.
Standard inspection checkpoints for new construction and major remodels in Decatur are foundation or pre-pour, framing, plumbing rough-in, mechanical rough-in, electrical rough-in, and final. Re-roofs require a final inspection only. Our Decatur project manager schedules, attends, and closes out every inspection on the project, so you do not have to chase anyone.
Yes, but the permitting authority changes. Wise County handles septic, floodplain, and on-site development permits for unincorporated areas. We are fluent in both City of Decatur and Wise County processes and will route the submittal to the right authority based on the address.
Yes. We provide free post-storm inspections, full photo documentation, and scope-of-loss reports written in the Xactimate-aligned format carriers expect, and our project manager communicates directly with your insurance adjuster, attends the on-roof adjuster meeting when one is scheduled, and keeps written records of every conversation. We have worked with every major carrier operating in Wise County, including State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, USAA, and Travelers.
Residential driveway pricing in Decatur depends on square footage, thickness, finish, and soil conditions, with standard 4-inch rebar-reinforced residential drives typically priced in line with regional Wise and Denton County rates. Decorative stamped concrete and integral-color finishes run higher. Every estimate we send is itemized, so you see exactly where the cost is going.
