Most Arlington homeowners who ask us about metal have been through two or three hail claims already. A metal roof will not make you hail-proof, but it handles storms far better than shingles, and we make the panels in our own shop.
The reasons that come up most.
Impact-rated metal resists the hail that ruins shingles. Large hail can still leave cosmetic dents.
Metal can last decades longer than shingles in Arlington's climate.
Standing seam works on lower slopes where shingles are not allowed under Arlington code.
Reflective finishes cut heat on long, low-pitch south Arlington roofs.
Ask your insurer whether impact-rated metal lowers your Texas premium.
Panels and trim made in our shop to your roof's exact lengths.
Both are common on Arlington homes.
Measurements, panel layout and color, plus HOA paperwork if needed.
City permit filed while panels are made in our shop.
Tear-off, decking repair, high-temperature underlayment.
Panels, trim and flashing by our crew.
City inspection scheduled, warranty in writing.

More upfront than shingles. Over the life of the roof it can cost less, since you may avoid replacing it again.
Often, yes. Standing seam is rated for lower slopes than shingles. We confirm with your roof's pitch.
Check your HOA guidelines. We provide samples and specs for your submission.
