Metal roofing installers serving Dallas, Texas
Metal Roofing Across Dallas, From Oak Cliff Bungalows to Far North
Downtown Dallas is only about 9 miles from our Mesquite office, and the city spreading out from it holds nearly every kind of house a metal roofer works on. Permanent Metal Roofing Systems matches the system to the house: metal shingles or copper accents on a 1920s Lakewood Tudor, snap lock on a Lake Highlands ranch, DECRA stone-coated steel on a Far North Dallas two-story, and mechanical lock in steel, copper or zinc for low-slope porches and modern builds. Our own crews install every roof. Most of the city falls in Dallas County, with edges in Collin, Denton, Kaufman and Rockwall.

The Houses of Dallas and the Metal Roofs That Suit Them
Housing in Dallas covers a full century. In East Dallas and Oak Cliff, Tudors and craftsman bungalows from the 1920s to the 1940s have steep front gables, shallow porch roofs and chimneys that demand careful flashing. Lake Highlands and much of North Dallas are lined with 1950s-70s ranches under long, low rooflines. Brick-veneer two-story homes from the 1990s onward fill Far North Dallas, and in the southwest of the city they line the Mountain Creek and Redbird corridors. Almost all of it is roofed in composition shingle that the Texas sun dries out. We often split a bungalow’s roof between two systems, metal shingles on the steep main slopes and mechanical lock on the near-flat porch. Lake Highlands ranches, with their long simple planes, are snap lock territory, and the newer homes up north usually go stone-coated.
From White Rock Lake and Lakewood to Kessler Park and the rest of Oak Cliff, and from Preston Hollow and Lake Highlands to Love Field and the Uptown and Downtown skyline, PMRS crews roof homes across the city.
Why Dallas Roofs Take a Beating
Two storms shape how Dallas owners think about roofs. On October 20, 2019, an EF3 tornado tracked roughly 15 miles across North Dallas, Preston Hollow included. On May 28, 2024, derecho gusts of 70 to 80 mph swept the city and left upward of 800,000 customers across North Texas without power. Wind is the lesson of both. Standing seam held by concealed clips, set closer at eaves and ridges, resists the uplift that strips shingles. Hail still matters, so look for products their makers rate UL 2218 Class 4, pick 24-gauge steel to limit cosmetic dents, and ask your own carrier what Class 4 credit it offers.
- Honest advice on what Class 4 does and does not cover, including cosmetic denting
- Dated storm-damage photos and measurements
- No pressure and no door-to-door storm chasing

Roof Systems for Dallas Homes and Buildings
Dallas calls for the whole PMRS lineup. Copper or zinc mechanical lock suits historic porch roofs, bays and entries in Lakewood and Kessler Park, and estate homes that want a premium metal throughout. On the long, low ranch roofs found from Lake Highlands across North Dallas, snap lock is the workhorse. Out in the HOA subdivisions at the city’s edges, owners mostly choose DECRA stone-coated panels or a metal shake. For commercial owners near Downtown, Uptown and Love Field, our crews install mechanically seamed roofs on low slopes, roll-formed to each run’s full length.
Standing Seam Roofs
A clean, modern roof with no exposed screws to back out, available with Class 4 impact-rated assemblies.
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
Interlocking metal shingles that shed hail and wind and keep a cedar, slate or tile appearance.
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
Standing seam, flat lock and diamond patterns in metals that age instead of fading.

Getting a Metal Roof Approved in Dallas
Rules depend on where in Dallas you live. Newer subdivisions in Far North Dallas and the southern part of the city commonly have HOAs, while the historic inner-ring neighborhoods rarely do; there, conservation districts set exterior rules instead. Inside an HOA, Property Code 202.011 shields shingles designed for storm resistance or energy efficiency from a blanket ban, so long as they look like what the community has approved, are of the same or higher grade, and blend with the area; color and appearance can still be regulated. In a conservation district, we read the district’s standards before recommending a profile. Either way, we file for the City of Dallas permit where required.

Metal Roofing in Dallas: Common Questions
Will a Dallas conservation district let me put metal on my house?
It varies, because each conservation district in Dallas writes its own exterior rules, and some speak directly to roof materials or profiles. We look up the standards for your street first, then propose a product that fits them. A metal shingle that echoes the original roofline often works on the front, with standing seam saved for a rear addition where the district allows it.
What metal roof fits a 1920s bungalow in Oak Cliff or Lakewood?
A two-system roof is the usual answer. The steeper main slopes take a narrow 1-inch snap lock or a metal shingle, which keeps the scale of an old house, while the porch, often close to flat, gets mechanical lock rated to a 1/2:12 pitch. Some owners roof just the porch in copper, which browns with age and suits the brick and stucco of that era.
Which metal roof suits a 1950s-70s Lake Highlands ranch?
Usually snap lock. Those ranches have long, low planes with few valleys, so full-length panels can run from eave to ridge without a seam across them. A 1.75-inch snap lock in a light or mid-tone PVDF color keeps the low profile of the house and reflects more summer sun than dark shingles. Attached carports or flat patio covers can switch to mechanical lock.
How long does a metal roof installation take in Dallas?
Most homes take a few working days once the panels are formed, depending on size, pitch, tear-off and weather. Your estimate includes a time frame, and our office keeps you posted on the schedule.
