Rowlett, TX metal roofs, formed and installed by PMRS
Metal Roofing for Rowlett’s Lakeside Two-Storeys
Rowlett is one of our nearest neighbors, about 8 miles from our Mesquite office, and wind off Lake Ray Hubbard shapes nearly every roof decision there. Homes get standing seam, stone-coated steel or a metal shingle from Permanent Metal Roofing Systems; commercial buildings around Downtown Rowlett and the Sapphire Bay lakefront get standing seam or PBR, trimmed with metal bent in our shop. Most of Rowlett lies in Dallas County, with a portion in Rockwall County, and the crews who put the roofs on are our own.

Roof Types We See Around Rowlett
Around the lake, in Waterview, Lakeview Pointe and similar communities, most homes are brick-veneer two-storeys from the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. A great many of their roofs were replaced together after the 2015 tornado, so a big group is now about ten years old and has already been through several hail seasons. Tall walls and open water nearby expose a two-storey to far more wind than an inland ranch. On HOA streets that expect a shingle or shake profile, stone-coated steel is the fit. If the board permits standing seam, the 1.75-inch snap lock panel is a structural choice with greater uplift capacity for lake-facing homes, and mechanical lock goes further still.
We serve Lakeview Pointe, Waterview, Bayside and Sapphire Bay, Downtown Rowlett around the DART Blue Line station, and lakeside streets on both ends of the President George Bush Turnpike bridge.
Rowlett Hail, Wind and Heat: What a Roof Faces
On December 26, 2015, an EF4 tornado tore through Rowlett, and more than 1,100 homes near the Dalrock Road and Schrade Road corridors were destroyed or heavily damaged. Nothing on a house survives the core of an EF4. A large share of the damage in such a storm, though, happens on the fringes, where the wind is weaker, and that is where fastening pays off. Concealed standing seam clips, set closer together at eaves, rakes and ridges, hold against uplift far better than shingle tabs and adhesive strips. For hail, a 24-gauge panel shows fewer cosmetic dents than a 26-gauge one, and stone-coated systems with a maker’s UL 2218 Class 4 rating are the textured alternative.
- Impact-rated standing seam, stone-coated steel and metal shingle options
- Heavier 24-gauge panels that resist cosmetic hail dents better than thinner steel
- Clip spacing and fastening planned for Texas wind uplift

Roof Systems for Rowlett Homes and Buildings
In Rowlett, wind resistance decides most roofs. Lake-facing homes are where clipped standing seam does its best work, and the same panels suit the commercial and mixed-use buildings near Downtown Rowlett and Sapphire Bay. For HOA two-storeys in Waterview and Lakeview Pointe, a stone-coated shake or tile profile keeps the expected look. At the edges, hip caps, rake trim and eave flashing bent in our shop hold the perimeter tight, leaving the wind less to grab.
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
Corrugated and PBR panels for homes, shops, barns, carports and porches around Rowlett.
Copper and Zinc Roofing
Copper accents over a porch or bay window, or a full zinc roof that weathers to a soft gray.
Metal Roof Repair
Loose fasteners, failed sealant and storm-damaged panels repaired or replaced one section at a time.
How much will it cost? That depends on size, pitch, profile, metal and tear-off, so we measure first. Our cost guide walks through the seven factors.
Rowlett HOA Rules and City Permits for Metal
HOAs are a fact of life in Waterview, Lakeview Pointe and the other master-planned lakeside subdivisions. There, Texas Property Code 202.011 means a board cannot outlaw a shingle intended to withstand wind and hail or to boost energy efficiency, provided it resembles the community’s shingles, is more durable, is at least equal in quality and matches the surrounding look; color and appearance remain its call. That usually makes stone-coated steel and metal shingles an easier approval than standing seam. We prepare the submittal with samples and then obtain Rowlett’s permit where one is needed.

What Rowlett Owners Ask About Metal Roofs
Can a metal roof hold up to a Rowlett tornado?
Not to a direct hit. An EF4 like the one in 2015 destroys nearly any building in its core. Where metal earns its keep is in the far more common winds: straight-line gusts and the weaker circulation around a tornado’s track. With hidden clips set tighter at the edges and machine-seamed panels, a metal roof stays attached in winds that peel shingles away.
My Rowlett roof went on after the 2015 tornado. Is it due?
It may be. A roof put on in 2016 is about ten years old now and has been through several hail seasons. Signs to check are granules washing off, lifted tabs and dented roof vents. We can look the roof over and write up an estimate for metal, so this time the replacement lasts for decades rather than starting another short shingle cycle.
Which finish holds its color on a lake-facing Rowlett roof?
PVDF paint, the Kynar 500 type, is the finish for full sun off the water, because it resists fading and chalking far better than polyester paints. On our standard PVDF colors the coil coater gives a 40-year finish warranty. Lighter colors and cool-pigment shades bounce back more summer heat too, which helps the attic of a tall two-storey.
What should Rowlett 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.
