Read across the rows. Highland Village grew more than sixfold in the 1970s and had reached nearly half its present size by 1990. Flower Mound's big decade was the 1990s. By 2000 Highland Village was three quarters built, and it has added little since 2010.
For roofs and siding this means a larger share of houses from the 1980s and early 1990s than you find across the line in Flower Mound. Those houses are thirty-five to forty-five years old. Their roofs have almost certainly been replaced at least once, and their original exterior wood and siding, where it survives, is among the oldest in the area.
U.S. census counts as relayed in the place's Wikipedia entry, read October 2026, for both places. The share of 1980s houses is inferred from population growth, not from a year-built table.
The Same Storm
Highland Village is one of the four communities the Cross Timbers Gazette named for baseball-size hail on the evening of June 11, 2023. On an older house the storm landed on a roof that might already have been a second-generation covering in its own middle age, and on trim with four decades of paint.

What to Have Checked on an Older House
- Decking. A roof that has been replaced before may have had shingles laid over tired decking. The next tear-off is the time to fix it. See roof replacement.
- Flashing. Metal reused through one or two re-roofs can be as old as the house.
- Ventilation. Older soffits are sometimes solid or painted shut. See attic ventilation.
- Siding and trim. Forty-year-old boards at gables and chimney boxes. See siding repair.
- Trees. Mature oaks over a roof mean leaves in valleys and limbs within reach of shingles.
Questions From Highland Village
Does Highland Village have its own permit office?
Highland Village is its own city, separate from Flower Mound, so its rules are its own. This site did not read them. Ask the city or your contractor before work begins.
Is my roof likely to be the original?
On a 1980s house, very unlikely. The question is how many times it has been replaced and whether the last time was before or after June 2023.
Do you cover the lake side of the city?
Yes. Give the address on the form.
