Metal Roofing in Fort Worth TX
Metal roofs last decades longer than shingles, stand up to Texas hail and wind, and lower your energy bills. We install standing seam and R-panel metal systems for residential and commercial properties across the DFW area.
Our Metal Roofing Process
- 1
Consultation & Design
We discuss your goals — durability, aesthetics, budget — and help you choose the right metal profile (standing seam or R-panel), gauge, and color for your building.
- 2
Measurements & Engineering
Precise measurements ensure panels are fabricated to fit. For standing seam, panels are often roll-formed on-site to eliminate end laps on long runs.
- 3
Deck Prep & Underlayment
We inspect and repair the deck, install synthetic underlayment for a secondary moisture barrier, and address any ventilation or insulation needs.
- 4
Panel Installation
Panels are installed with proper expansion allowances, sealed trim, and flashing at all transitions. Standing seam clips allow thermal movement without stress on fasteners.
- 5
Trim, Flashing & Final Inspection
Ridge caps, valleys, eave trim, and wall flashings are installed. We do a full inspection, clean the job site, and walk you through the finished product.
Signs Metal Roofing Is Right for You
- You want a roof that lasts 40–60+ years with minimal maintenance
- Hail damage is a recurring problem and you're tired of re-roofing every 10–15 years
- You want to reduce cooling costs — metal reflects solar heat
- Your property's aesthetic calls for a clean, modern look
- You're building a barndominium, workshop, or agricultural structure
- You want a roof that can handle sustained high winds
Metal Roofing Systems We Install
Standing Seam
Concealed-fastener panels with raised seams that interlock. Available in 24- and 26-gauge steel or aluminum. Accommodates thermal expansion, resists wind uplift to 140+ mph, and offers a clean modern aesthetic.
R-Panel (Exposed Fastener)
Rib-profile panels secured with self-drilling screws. Economical, fast to install, and available in dozens of colors. Ideal for workshops, agricultural buildings, and cost-conscious residential projects.
Metal Shingles
Stamped metal panels that mimic the look of slate or shake. Same longevity and performance as panel metal with a traditional aesthetic for homes with HOA or historic requirements.
Color & Finish Options
Kynar/PVDF finishes resist fading for 30+ years. We carry a full spectrum of colors from matte charcoal to bright galvalume. Samples available at consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between standing seam and R-panel?
- Standing seam uses concealed clips — no exposed fasteners — which means no potential leak points and a cleaner look. R-panel uses exposed screws through the panel face. Standing seam costs more but lasts longer with less maintenance.
- Is a metal roof louder in the rain?
- Not noticeably. With proper decking and underlayment beneath the panels, rain noise inside the home is comparable to an asphalt shingle roof. It's louder on open-frame structures like carports.
- Does metal roofing attract lightning?
- No. Metal roofing does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike. In fact, because metal is non-combustible, it's actually safer than other materials if a strike does occur.
- How much does a metal roof cost compared to shingles?
- Metal typically costs 2–3x more than architectural shingles upfront. But it lasts 2–4x longer and requires far less maintenance, so lifetime cost is often lower. We can break down the comparison for your specific project.
- Can you install metal over existing shingles?
- In some cases, yes — if the deck is sound and local code allows it. However, we generally recommend a tear-off so we can inspect and repair the decking. We'll advise based on your specific situation.
