Recent Metal Roof Job: Hartlee Field Road, Denton
On Hartlee Field Road in Denton, we installed a metal barn roof and then painted it white. A white finish reflects the summer sun, which keeps a metal building cooler, and it adds a protective layer over the panels and fasteners. You can watch our crew applying it on our Denton page.
Metal Roofs for Homes
A metal roof on a home is a long-term choice, so we start with a free inspection and an honest conversation. We go over panel and color options, how the roof will handle North Texas hail and wind, and how it will look on your house before you decide. If a metal roof isn’t the best fit for your home, we will tell you, and we also install shingle roofs, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles and tile roofing.
Metal Roofs for Barns and Buildings
Barns and other metal buildings need a roof that keeps out wind-driven rain and stands up to the sun. We install new metal roofs on these buildings and can paint a metal roof white, like the Hartlee Field Road barn. For larger flat and low-slope roofs on commercial buildings, see our commercial roofing page.
Metal Roof Patio Covers
We also build patio covers with metal roofs. A metal patio cover is a good match for a house with a metal roof or for a clean, modern look, and it can be finished with ceiling fans and lights underneath. See patio covers for the styles we build.

Standing Seam Metal Roofs
A standing seam metal roof is the premium choice in metal roofing. The panels run from the ridge to the eave, and the seams between them stand up above the flat of the panel, where they are locked or snapped together. The fasteners are hidden under the seams instead of screwed through the face of the panel, so there are no exposed screws or rubber washers to dry out in the sun and leak years later. A standing seam steel roof also lets the panels expand and contract with the Texas heat, which keeps the roof flat and tight.
Standing seam works on homes, additions, porches and patio covers, and it is the look most people picture when they think of a modern metal roof. It also pairs well with solar, which we cover below.
Steel Roofing, Galvanized and Corrugated Metal
Not every building needs standing seam. Exposed-fastener panels such as corrugated metal roofing and R-panel are a strong, economical choice for barns, shops, sheds and some homes. Galvanized steel roofing is coated with zinc to resist rust, and painted or coated finishes add color and reflect the sun. Galvanized metal roofing is common on barns and shops on the rural edges of DFW, and like the Hartlee Field Road barn in Denton, a metal roof can be painted white to reflect the summer sun.
For steel roof installation on exposed-fastener panels, the details matter: screws driven straight and snug, not overtightened, in the right spot on the panel, with sealed laps and closures at the ridge and eaves. If you are looking for steel roofing near me, we install it on homes and buildings across DFW.
Metal Shingles and Stone-Coated Steel
Metal shingles give you the strength of metal with the look of a traditional roof. Steel shingles are formed into individual pieces or panels that look like shingles, shakes, slate or tile, and stone-coated steel adds a layer of granules bonded to the metal for texture and a quieter roof in the rain. We install Decra stone-coated steel. Many stone-coated metal roof shingles carry a Class 4 impact rating, which makes them a strong choice in hail country, and they fit in on streets where an exposed metal panel would look out of place.
Metal Roof vs. Shingles
- Lifespan. A metal roof can last for decades, often longer than an asphalt shingle roof.
- Heat. Light-colored and coated metal reflects more sun than most shingles, which helps keep the attic cooler.
- Hail. Large hail can dent some metal panels even when it does not cause a leak, while Class 4 shingles and stone-coated steel are built to resist impact. We walk you through how each option handles hail.
- Cost. Metal costs more up front than shingles. Over the life of the roof, the gap narrows.
- Look and HOA. Some neighborhoods allow metal, some do not. We follow HOA rules and can provide product details for an approval request.
We install both, so we can price a metal roof and a Class 4 shingle roof side by side.
What Drives Metal Roof Cost
Metal roof cost depends on the panel type (standing seam, exposed fastener or stone-coated), the gauge and finish of the steel, the size and pitch of the roof, how many valleys, dormers and penetrations it has, and whether the old roof has to be torn off first. We give you a free written estimate with the panel and finish spelled out.
Solar on a Metal Roof
A standing seam metal roof is one of the best roofs to put solar on. Solar mounts clamp onto the raised seams, so the panels go up without drilling holes through the roof, and the metal roof will likely last as long as the solar system does. Different Roofing is a solar company too, so we can plan the roof and the panels together. See solar installation.
