Metal roofing installers serving Crandall, Texas
Crandall Metal Roof Installation, Downtown to Wildcat Ranch
Crandall began in the early 1880s as a stop on the Texas Trunk Railroad, and its population has roughly doubled since 2020 as new subdivisions filled in around the old core. Permanent Metal Roofing Systems roofs both halves of town with standing seam formed to the length of each run, DECRA stone-coated steel and metal shingles, and our crews cover local shops and businesses too. Crandall is in Kaufman County on the US 175 corridor, about 17 miles southeast of our Mesquite office, so estimate visits fit easily into a normal week.

The Houses of Crandall and the Metal Roofs That Suit Them
Downtown, the houses date from the railroad years and the decades after, early 1900s through mid-century, and many have plank decking, a sagging porch roof or more than one generation of old roofing stacked up. Out on the edges of town, Wildcat Ranch, Travis Ranch Estates and other production subdivisions built since 2019 are nearly all topped with standard builder-grade shingles. Each half needs its own approach. An older downtown house gets a full strip, new sheathing where the planks need it, snap lock across the main slopes and a mechanical lock section over any low porch. A newer home trades its builder roof for stone-coated steel or a metal shingle that keeps the look the HOA signed off on.
We cover Travis Ranch Estates, Wildcat Ranch and historic downtown Crandall, where scenes for the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde were shot, along with homes across Crandall ISD on the US 175 corridor.
Weather Notes for a Crandall Metal Roof
On March 26, 2025, storm reports placed golf-ball hail, 1.75 inches across, just outside Crandall. Stones like that bruise and split composition shingles, and on a metal roof they test the gauge and profile you chose. DECRA rates its stone-coated panels Class 4 under UL 2218, and the granular texture disguises small marks. On standing seam, a 24-gauge panel is stiffer than a 26-gauge one and dents less readily, though a hard strike can still leave a cosmetic mark. Each insurer decides its own credit for Class 4 roofs. The open country along US 175 leaves many lots exposed to wind, so our crews tighten the clip spacing at eaves and rakes.

Our Metal Roofing Work in Crandall, TX
Because most Crandall homes are new production builds inside HOA sections, stone-coated steel and metal shingles are the practical upgrade: textured, hail-rated by their makers and straightforward to get approved. For the railroad-era houses downtown, and for anyone who wants clean lines and a roof meant to last for decades, standing seam is the better fit. On older houses we also replace worn chimney caps and eave flashing with pieces bent to fit. Barns and shops on acreage outside town take PBR or corrugated panels.
Standing Seam Roofs
Snap lock and mechanical lock panels with concealed clips, formed in Mesquite or on site and run the full length of each Crandall roof slope.
Stone-Coated Steel
Steel panels coated in stone granules for the look of shake, shingle or tile, with impact ratings from the manufacturer.
Metal Shingles and Shakes
Aluminum and steel shakes and slate-look shingles for homeowners who want metal performance without a ribbed look.
Corrugated and PBR Roofs
Exposed-fastener panels that cover big outbuildings for less than standing seam, installed with sealing-washer screws.
Copper and Zinc Roofing
Copper accents over a porch or bay window, or a full zinc roof that weathers to a soft gray.

Getting a Metal Roof Approved in Crandall
Crandall’s newer master-planned sections, Wildcat Ranch among them, are governed by HOAs; the old town is not. Owners in those sections have a state law in their corner. Texas Property Code 202.011 shields wind- and hail-rated shingles, and energy-saving ones, from an outright association ban when they resemble the neighborhood’s roofs, are equal in quality or better, and fit the setting. The HOA still controls color and appearance, so expect an architectural request naming the product and color. Downtown owners skip that step. In both places, PMRS files for the city permit when Crandall requires one.

Crandall Metal Roof Questions
My Wildcat Ranch house is only a few years old. Why would I replace the roof now?
Most owners wait until a storm forces the decision. When golf-ball hail, like the March 2025 storm near town, ruins a builder-grade roof, the claim usually pays for another shingle roof that faces the same risk. If the roof has to be replaced anyway, upgrading to stone-coated steel or a metal shingle means you are not buying shingles twice.
Can PMRS roof a barn or shop on acreage outside Crandall?
Yes. PBR and corrugated panels are built for barns, shops, equipment sheds and barndominiums, and our mobile roll former can produce them to length right on your property. The color can match your house. For a shop that will be insulated and cooled, or one you see every day from the porch, standing seam with concealed clips gives a cleaner finish.
What does a 1900s house in downtown Crandall need under a new metal roof?
Typically a complete tear-off. A house that old may have board decking with open gaps, or several layers of past roofing hiding soft spots. Our crew removes everything to the boards, adds sheathing where the plank deck needs it, then lays underlayment before the panels go down. Chimney caps and eave flashing are bent in-house to suit older, out-of-square lines.
What should Crandall owners do first after a hailstorm?
Photograph the roof and any ceiling stains, then call us before signing anything. We document the damage with dated photos and measurements and write a scope for your adjuster. Your carrier decides coverage, and Texas law makes the deductible yours to pay.
