Durable Metal Roof Systems for the DFW Metroplex
Replacing your roof every 15-20 years drains your budget and disrupts your life. Metal roofing systems eliminate this cycle entirely. Our steel and aluminum roof installations here at Veteran Brothers Roofing & Restoration deliver 50-70 year lifespans with Class 4 hail protection and energy savings up to 40% in North Texas heat, backed by manufacturer warranties that outlast traditional materials by decades.
Understanding Metal Roof Systems
Metal roofing represents a fundamental shift from petroleum-based shingles to engineered steel, aluminum, or copper panels designed for permanent protection. These systems reflect solar radiation rather than absorbing it, keeping Dallas-Fort Worth homes cooler while providing superior resistance to hail, wind, and fire.
When North Texas homeowners face their second or third asphalt shingle replacement, many discover metal roofing eliminates this recurring expense. The initial investment pays dividends through decades of maintenance-free performance, reduced cooling costs, and increased property values.
Our installations utilize standing seam systems with concealed fasteners, eliminating the leak points that plague exposed fastener designs. Each panel interlocks mechanically, creating a continuous weather barrier engineered for the temperature extremes and storm conditions common across the Metroplex.
Residential Metal Roofing Systems
Homeowners throughout Greater Fort Worth choose metal roofing to escape the replacement cycle inherent to asphalt shingles. Our residential steel roofing withstands 120+ mph winds and 2.5-inch hail while maintaining curb appeal through stone-coated finishes that replicate traditional materials.
Standing seam installations provide clean lines and modern aesthetics, while stone-coated metal profiles deliver the dimensional look of architectural shingles or clay tiles. Both systems reflect Texas heat, reducing attic temperatures by 50+ degrees compared to dark asphalt surfaces, directly lowering your monthly utility bills.
We install 26-gauge and 24-gauge steel systems with Galvalume coatings that resist corrosion for 50+ years. Color retention warranties ensure your roof maintains its appearance decades after installation, protecting both your investment and your home’s market value.
Commercial Metal Roofing Applications
Commercial buildings demand roofing systems that minimize lifecycle costs while maximizing weather resistance. Our TPO-over-metal and standing seam commercial installations protect flat and low-slope structures common in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Metal roofing’s fire resistance meets stringent commercial building codes while providing the wind uplift ratings required for large roof expanses. The reflective properties reduce HVAC loads, critical for warehouses and retail spaces facing Texas summer temperatures.
We design commercial systems around your operational needs, scheduling installations to avoid business disruptions while ensuring proper drainage and ponding prevention. Every project includes comprehensive warranties covering both materials and our installation workmanship.

Our Metal Roofing Installation Process
Comprehensive Roof Assessment
Our metal roofing specialists evaluate your existing roof structure, decking condition, and ventilation system. We measure roof pitch, calculate panel lengths, and identify any framing reinforcement needed to support your new metal system, ensuring structural adequacy before material selection begins.
Custom System Design
Every metal roof installation receives engineered drawings specifying panel layout, fastener locations, and thermal expansion accommodations. We select appropriate gauges, coatings, and profiles based on your roof’s exposure, ensuring optimal performance in DFW weather conditions.
Decking Preparation and Underlayment
We inspect and repair roof decking, replacing any compromised sheathing before underlayment installation. High-temperature synthetic underlayment provides secondary water protection while accommodating the thermal loads metal roofing generates in Texas heat.
Panel Installation and Seaming
Standing seam panels installed with concealed clips that allow thermal movement while maintaining weathertight seals. Our crews mechanically seam each panel joint, creating continuous waterproof barriers from ridge to eave without exposed fasteners that can fail over time.
Trim and Flashing Integration
Custom-fabricated flashings seal every roof penetration, valley, and edge condition. We integrate these components using proper lap sequences and sealant applications, eliminating the leak paths that develop when trim pieces are improperly detailed.
Final Inspection and Warranty Registration
Every installation concludes with comprehensive quality verification and thermal imaging documentation. We register your manufacturer warranty, provide maintenance guidelines specific to metal roofing, and schedule your first annual inspection to ensure long-term performance.
Metal Roofing Challenges We Solve
Frequent Roof Replacement Cycles
Asphalt shingles require replacement every 15-20 years, creating recurring expenses that drain household budgets. Metal roofing eliminates this cycle with 50-70 year lifespans, making it the last roof you’ll ever install on your Dallas-Fort Worth home.
Storm Damage and Insurance Claims
Hail damage forces thousands of North Texas roof replacements annually. Our Class 4 impact-resistant metal systems withstand 2.5-inch hail and 120+ mph winds, significantly reducing storm damage and the insurance claim headaches that follow severe weather.
Excessive Cooling Costs
Dark asphalt shingles absorb solar radiation, superheating attics and increasing air conditioning loads. Metal roofing’s reflective properties reduce heat transfer by 40%, directly lowering utility bills while extending HVAC system lifespan through reduced runtime.
Leak-Prone Valley and Flashing Failures
Traditional roofing relies on multiple penetrations and sealed joints that degrade over time. Standing seam metal systems minimize these vulnerability points through continuous panels and mechanically seamed connections that maintain integrity throughout decades of thermal cycling.
Fire Risk from Wildfire Embers
Suburban sprawl brings homes closer to grasslands where wildfires can spread rapidly. Metal roofing’s Class A fire rating and non-combustible construction provide superior protection against wind-blown embers that ignite traditional roofing materials.
Environmental Impact and Landfill Waste
Every asphalt shingle roof replacement sends tons of petroleum-based waste to landfills. Metal roofing contains 25-95% recycled content and remains 100% recyclable at end of life, eliminating the environmental burden of multiple roof replacements.
Granule Loss and UV Degradation
Asphalt shingles shed protective granules, clogging gutters while exposing underlying materials to UV radiation. Metal roofing maintains factory-applied finishes through advanced coating technologies that resist fading and chalking for 30+ years.
Wildlife and Moss Damage
Squirrels, raccoons, and woodpeckers damage traditional roofing while searching for entry points. Metal’s hardness prevents wildlife penetration, while its smooth surface inhibits moss growth that retains moisture and accelerates material deterioration.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Roofing
How much does metal roofing cost compared to asphalt shingles?
Standing seam metal roofing typically costs $12-16 per square foot installed, compared to $5-8 for architectural shingles. However, metal’s 50-70 year lifespan means you’ll replace asphalt shingles 3-4 times during one metal roof’s lifetime, making metal significantly more cost-effective long-term despite the higher initial investment.
Will metal roofing reduce my homeowners insurance premiums?
Many insurance carriers offer 20-35% discounts for Class 4 impact-resistant metal roofing because it significantly reduces hail damage claims. We provide the documentation needed to request these premium reductions, though discount availability varies by carrier and policy in the DFW Metroplex.
How loud is metal roofing during rainstorms?
Properly installed metal roofing with solid decking and adequate attic insulation produces noise levels comparable to asphalt shingles. The “tin roof” drumming effect occurs only when metal installs over open framing without sound-deadening layers, a scenario we specifically engineer against in every residential application.
Can metal roofing withstand Texas hailstorms?
Our steel roofing systems carry UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance ratings, the highest available. This certification means the material withstands impacts from 2-inch steel balls dropped from 20 feet, equivalent to baseball-sized hail traveling at terminal velocity during severe Dallas-Fort Worth storms.
What metal roofing styles match traditional home architecture?
Stone-coated metal profiles replicate architectural shingles, Spanish tiles, and wood shakes while delivering metal’s performance benefits. Standing seam installations suit modern and contemporary designs, while our color selection includes earth tones that complement traditional North Texas home styles.
How long does metal roofing installation take?
Average residential metal roof replacements require 3-5 days depending on home size and roof complexity. We complete tear-off, decking inspection, underlayment installation, and panel seaming in weather-permitting conditions, coordinating around your schedule to minimize disruption throughout the project.
Do metal roofs attract lightning strikes?
Metal roofing doesn’t increase lightning strike probability, tall structures attract strikes regardless of roofing material. However, metal roofing safely disperses electrical charges if struck, reducing fire risk compared to combustible materials. Many property owners add lightning protection systems for additional peace of mind.
Will metal roofing rust in humid North Texas summers?
Quality metal roofing features protective coatings that prevent corrosion for 50+ years. Galvalume-coated steel combines aluminum and zinc protection, while aluminum roofing resists rust naturally. We inspect coating integrity before installation and offer comprehensive warranties covering corrosion-related failures.
Can I install solar panels on metal roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing provides ideal solar panel mounting through non-penetrating clamps that attach directly to raised seams. This eliminates roof penetrations that create leak risks with traditional racking systems, making metal roofing the preferred substrate for DFW solar installations.
How do I maintain a metal roof after installation?
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance, annual inspections to check fastener tightness and sealant condition, plus periodic cleaning to remove debris from valleys. We provide detailed maintenance schedules and offer annual inspection services throughout Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding Metroplex communities.
