Arlington, TX metal roofs, formed and installed by PMRS
Metal Roofs for Arlington’s Older Ranches and Newer South Side
Arlington marks the western end of the territory Permanent Metal Roofing Systems covers, about 29 miles from our Mesquite office on a straight shot down I-30. Across this Tarrant County city our crews put snap lock or mechanical lock panels, DECRA stone-coated steel, or metal shingles on houses, and PBR or standing seam on commercial and shop buildings. Because of the distance, Arlington estimates go on the calendar a few days out and are paired with other west-side visits, although the office still returns every call the same business day.

Roof Types We See Around Arlington
Two housing eras split the city. The central and north sections, Downtown and the College Park area among them, are mostly single-story brick ranch and traditional homes from the 1960s through the 1990s. Their wide, low hip roofs have usually been reshingled more than once, and the porch covers and patio additions attached to them are often too shallow for shingles to stay dry. Snap lock fits the main roof there, and mechanical lock, good down to 1/2:12, handles the low parts. Heading south toward Mansfield and into Southwest Arlington, larger two-story brick-veneer homes from the 1990s to the 2010s carry composition roofs over big, steep planes. On those, a stone-coated or steel shake roof preserves the neighborhood’s look while standing up far better to hail.
We roof homes in College Park and Downtown, Southwest Arlington, the Arlington Highlands area and the Entertainment District, and buildings near UT Arlington, Six Flags Over Texas and the ballpark and stadium pair of Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium.
Weather Notes for a Arlington Metal Roof
An EF-2 tornado on April 3, 2012 cut a path of 4.6 miles across Kennedale and the south side of Arlington, tearing roofs off houses close to the I-20 and US-287 junction. South Arlington was struck again by golf-ball hail on May 27, 2024, a day before the derecho damaged buildings and brought down power lines across the city. A roof here therefore needs a plan for hail and for wind. For hail, choose a product its maker rates UL 2218 Class 4. For wind, concealed standing seam clips are spaced tighter where uplift concentrates. Also check whether your policy excludes cosmetic damage, since dents that do not leak may go unpaid.

- Dated storm-damage photos and measurements
- No pressure and no door-to-door storm chasing

Our Metal Roofing Work in Arlington, TX
Arlington’s split housing stock produces two kinds of jobs. Up north and in the city’s center, snap lock replaces worn shingles on the main roof while mechanical lock covers the low porches and patio additions. In south Arlington, where HOAs and hail are both part of life, most owners pick a stone-coated or metal shingle roof that its maker rates Class 4. Commercial and flex buildings along I-30 and I-20 take PBR panels or our 2-inch mechanical lock panel, which can serve as the structural roof on a metal building.

Getting a Metal Roof Approved in Arlington
HOAs are common across the post-1990 subdivisions of south Arlington and rare in the older middle of the city. If you live in an association, a 2011 state law, Property Code 202.011, keeps it from simply banning shingles engineered for wind and hail or for energy savings, provided they look like the shingles already allowed, match or beat their quality, and suit the street. Color and appearance stay under the board’s control. Central Arlington owners can usually skip that step. Either way, PMRS obtains the City of Arlington permit where one applies and schedules the inspections.

Metal Roofing in Arlington: Common Questions
Is a 1960s central Arlington ranch strong enough to carry a metal roof?
Almost always. Steel standing seam and stone-coated panels typically weigh less than the composition shingles they replace, so the framing rarely needs changes. What an older house does need is a sound deck. We look at the sheathing during tear-off and replace any soft or broken boards before underlayment goes down, and low porch sections get mechanical lock instead of snap lock.
Do PMRS crews install metal roofs on Arlington commercial buildings?
Yes. Our own crews install standing seam, 2-inch mechanical lock and PBR panels on offices, retail centers, warehouses and pre-engineered metal buildings. The 2-inch panel can span open framing as a structural roof. On mechanically seamed systems seamed to specification, owners can purchase a third-party weather-tightness warranty as an option.
How do you schedule an estimate in Arlington, at the far west of your area?
Call or send the form, and the office will offer a set appointment, usually grouped with other west-side estimates that week. We measure the roof, check pitch and decking, and go over profiles and colors with you on site. Once the job is booked, panels are formed and the crew arrives on schedule; the 29-mile drive does not change how the roof is built.
Does PMRS repair metal roofs in Arlington that another company installed?
Yes. We trace leaks at seams, screws, pipe boots and flashing on standing seam, PBR, corrugated and metal shingle roofs, whoever put them on, and explain the cause before we fix it.
