A country town with a lot of roof per lot
Argyle is on U.S. 377 about six miles southwest of Denton. Peters Colony families settled the area between 1850 and 1867, when it was known as Pilot Knob or Waintown, and ran cattle on open range. The Texas State Historical Association says it grew as city residents moved out for a country setting, and Census estimates show it growing from 4,399 residents in 2020 to about 6,372 in 2025. A lot of Argyle is acreage and estate lots, often with a main house plus a barn, shop, arena cover or guest house, alongside newer HOA neighborhoods.
That means a metal roofing call in Argyle is often about more than one building:
| Building | What we usually recommend |
|---|---|
| Main house on acreage | 24 or 26 gauge standing seam, snap-lock on steep roofs and mechanically seamed on low pitches |
| House in an HOA neighborhood | Standing seam where allowed, or stone-coated steel or metal shingles where the rules call for a shake, tile or shingle look; standing seam porch accents |
| Barns, horse barns and arena covers | R-panel or PBR in long, single-length sheets; standing seam where looks matter |
| Shops and barndominiums | R-panel or standing seam, with condensation control under any living or conditioned space (barndominium and shop roofs) |
| Guest houses, cabanas, RV and boat covers | Matched to the house, or R-panel / corrugated on covers |
Every kind of metal roof, not just one
Most "metal roofing" searches in Argyle start with standing seam, but it isn't the only right answer. Here's what we install and where each one fits:
| Metal system | What it looks like | Where it fits best |
|---|---|---|
| Standing seam | Flat pans with raised seams, fasteners hidden | Full roofs on modern, farmhouse and transitional homes; porch and bay accents |
| Stone-coated steel | Steel with a stone granule finish shaped like shake, tile or shingle | Owners who want metal's strength but a traditional look a neighborhood is used to |
| Metal shingles and metal tile | Pressed steel panels in shingle, slate or tile profiles | Homes where the street view has to read as shingle, slate or tile |
| Copper accents | Bright copper that weathers to brown, then green | Bay windows, turrets, entry roofs, dormers and cupolas on traditional homes |
| R-panel, PBR and corrugated | Ribbed panels with exposed screws and washers | Shops, barns, garages, pool cabanas, boat and RV covers |
We don't quote prices on the web because pitch, size, tear-off and detail work move them too much. We'll give you a written number for each option that makes sense on your roof.
Matching the house and the barn
Because we run our own roll formers, we can put the same color and similar lines across the house, the barn and the shop, and form each panel to the full length of its roof. On a barn that means no mid-slope laps to leak. On an exposed-fastener roof, the screws and washers are the part that ages, so we use the right fastener for the panel and lay them out straight; on standing seam there are no exposed fasteners at all. See barn roofing.
Town of Argyle permits and HOAs
The Town of Argyle says permits are required before new construction, additions, alterations or repairs of existing buildings, and every contractor must register with the town each year before permits are issued. We keep our registration current, file through the town's online portal, and confirm the requirements for your scope before work starts. If you're in an HOA neighborhood, we prepare the product sheet, color chip and impact rating for the architectural committee first. For acreage, we confirm which jurisdiction your address falls under before we file anything.
Hail in southern Denton County
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists more than 60 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Argyle from 2016 through the September 2026 update, one of the highest counts of any town we serve. On June 11, 2023, 4.25-inch hail fell near Bartonville, less than six miles away, and 3.5-inch hail fell near Bartonville about two and a half miles from Argyle the same day. On April 1, 2024, 3.4-inch hail was reported near Justin, and on May 27, 2024, 2-inch hail was reported at the Roanoke-area airport. The Storm Prediction Center's 2026 reports include 1-inch hail 3 miles northwest of Keller and 1.5-inch hail 2 miles southeast of Haslet on August 26, 2026 and 1-inch hail just east-northeast of Keller on September 21, 2026.

Metal isn't hail-proof. Very large hail can dent steel, and some policies treat cosmetic dents differently from leaks, so read the policy before you choose. A 24- or 26-gauge panel won't crack, curl or shed granules the way shingles do. See Class 4 metal roofs and insurance. Texas insurers must offer a premium credit for UL 2218 impact-rated roofs, but each company sets its own amount, and Class 4 earns the largest. We can't promise a discount; ask your insurer for their figure in writing. After a qualifying install we fill out TDI Form PC068 for you. If you file an insurance claim, we document the damage and meet your adjuster on the roof. Texas law requires you to pay your deductible, and a contractor may not waive, absorb or rebate it. We never will. In Texas you generally have 1 year from the date of loss to file; check your policy.
Why it matters that we form our own panels
- One piece from eave to ridge. We cut standing seam and R-panel to the length of each roof plane, so long runs don't need mid-slope laps.
- 24 or 26 gauge on every standing seam and R-panel roof. See 26 vs. 29 gauge.
- No waiting in a panel shop's queue after a hailstorm, when everyone needs a roof at once. Metal lead time is typically 1 to 2 weeks.
- Flashings bent for the panel, not caulked: walls, chimneys, valleys, skylights and pipes.
- Every inspection comes with a free digital photo report, so you see what we see.
