The plate book · BXC’s own photographs

Our recent roofing projects, plate by plate.

Every photograph on this page was taken by BXC on its own jobs around Tyler and East Texas: new roofs from directly above, finished homes from the street, crews in the middle of a tear-off, flat commercial roofs, and rooms rebuilt after water and storm damage. Each plate says what is in the frame and nothing more.

Sheet one

Straight down

A drone over the roof, camera pointing at the ground. From here you can see the pitch changes, the valleys and how the roof sits on its lot.

Reading the plates: each photograph is BXC’s own work, and each caption names only what is visible.

Sheet two

From the street

The finished product is what the neighbours see: brick, stone and stucco homes, a gated street of matching townhomes, and acreage where the roof is the biggest thing in the picture.

Sheet three

Crew at work

A roof is replaced in layers: the old roof comes off, the decking is swept and checked, underlayment dries the house in, and the shingles go on course by course. These plates follow that order.
