METAL ROOFING · FORT WORTH TX
Standing seam fabricated on site at your home. Class 4 hail-rated systems built for North Texas weather, installed start to finish by DW Construction.
WHY METAL IN FORT WORTH
We install residential metal roofing across Fort Worth — standing seam, stone-coated steel, and metal shingle systems for homes from Westover Hills to the Alliance corridor.
Fort Worth sits in the heart of hail country. The DFW metroplex logs more severe hail events than nearly any other major U.S. market, and summers regularly push past 100 degrees for weeks at a stretch. That combination — impact and heat — is exactly what wears asphalt shingles out early, and exactly what makes metal the logical roof for a Fort Worth home.
Metal roofing reflects solar radiation rather than absorbing it, which lowers attic temperature and the cooling load that follows. The coatings used on modern standing seam and stone-coated steel panels are engineered for UV stability, so they hold their color and reflectivity across decades of Texas sun rather than fading and granulating the way asphalt does.
The insurance argument is straightforward. Most Texas carriers offer a premium credit for UL 2218 Class 4 impact-rated roofing, and metal is one of the few materials that earns that rating without qualification. On a dwelling policy, the discount typically runs 20 to 35 percent — meaningful enough that it factors into the decision for homeowners running the long-term math on a new roof.
THE DIFFERENCE
Most roofing contractors order standing seam panels from a sheet-metal shop, have them trucked to the job, and field-trim them to fit. We do it differently. DW Construction brings a portable roll-former to your property and runs each panel on site, cut to the exact length your roof requires.
The difference is measurable. Continuous panels from ridge to eave mean fewer transverse seams. No freight handling means no panels damaged in transit or bent loading off a truck. Flashing ties in tighter because the panel edges are clean factory-formed edges, not shop cuts adjusted in the field.
When a roofline has valleys, dormers, or varied ridge heights — common on the custom homes we work on — on-site fabrication is the only way to get panel lengths right without splicing.
SYSTEMS WE INSTALL
Three profiles cover the range of what we install on Fort Worth homes. Each has a distinct look and a set of conditions where it fits best. We will walk you through which is right for your roof during the estimate.
The system most homeowners picture when they hear the words metal roof. Continuous vertical panels with concealed fasteners and mechanically seamed joints, running from ridge to eave without exposed screws. Best for modern and transitional architecture, steep roofs, and homeowners who want a clean linear profile. We install 24-gauge steel with Kynar 500 PVDF coatings — the coating engineered for UV and fade resistance across decades of Texas sun.

Structural-grade steel panels coated in acrylic and finished with stone granules. The result is a panel that performs like metal but reads as shake, shingle, or barrel tile from the curb. Class 4 impact rated, 120 mph wind rated, and backed by a 50-year warranty. Best for homeowners who want metal performance with a dimensional, traditional profile rather than the clean lines of standing seam.

Stamped metal panels pressed into shingle, shake, or tile profiles. Offered in a range of profiles and painted finishes, these systems give you the impact and fire performance of metal behind the silhouette of a traditional roofing material. A fit for homes where an HOA or architectural review board requires a specific profile, or where the homeowner prefers the look of shingle or tile without the maintenance and replacement cycle.

PRICING
These are our actual installed ranges, with tear-off of the existing roof included:
Every estimate is itemized. You see the panel cost, the tear-off, the underlayment, the flashing and trim, the labor, and the permit — line by line, not a lump sum.
What moves the price within that range:
IMPACT PERFORMANCE
The standard for impact resistance is UL 2218, which runs Class 1 through Class 4. Class 4 is the highest. The test drops a 2-inch steel ball onto the roofing sample from 20 feet, twice in the same spot. To pass Class 4, the material cannot show evidence of cracking, splitting, or rupture.
Asphalt shingles can earn a Class 4 rating. The rating reflects performance on the day the shingle was tested. After years of UV exposure and thermal cycling, asphalt shingles lose granules and flexibility — the same hail impact a new shingle survives can crack an aged one. Metal does not lose impact resistance with age. A standing seam panel hit by hail in year 20 performs the same as it did in year 1.
Insurance carriers know this. A Class 4 metal roof typically qualifies for the same or better premium credit than a Class 4 asphalt shingle, and the metal roof will still be on the house when the asphalt roof would have needed replacement.
FORT WORTH SPECIFICS
We install metal roofing across Fort Worth and the surrounding communities. In Westover Hills, the large estates and steep rooflines are a natural fit for standing seam. In Benbrook and Ridglea, where hail has come through repeatedly, homeowners are replacing asphalt with metal for the impact rating alone. In North Fort Worth and the Alliance corridor, new construction and custom homes give us the opportunity to install metal from the start rather than retrofitting.
The City of Fort Worth requires a roofing permit for a roof replacement, and the contractor of record is responsible for pulling it. We handle that paperwork on every Fort Worth job — the permit, the inspection, and the documentation you need for insurance and for resale.
