Why so many Colleyville roofs are coming due at once
Colleyville was incorporated in 1956 on State Highway 26 in northeastern Tarrant County. According to the Texas State Historical Association, it grew from 12,724 residents in 1990 to 22,807 in 2010, and the Census Bureau estimates about 25,727 today. A lot of its homes went up during that growth, which means a lot of 15- to 35-year-old roofs on their first or second replacement. Colleyville lots also run larger than most of the suburbs around it, so many properties have a shop, a detached garage or a barn as well as the house.
Where metal fits on a Colleyville property
- The house: standing seam on farmhouse and transitional homes, or stone-coated steel and metal shingles when you want metal without the metal look on a traditional brick home.
- Accents: standing seam or copper over the porch, a bay or the entry, with a designer shingle on the main roof.
- Shop, garage and barn: R-panel or PBR in a matching color, or standing seam if the building is close to the house and seen from the street.
- Low-slope porches and patio covers that leak with shingles: mechanically seamed standing seam works at pitches shingles can't handle.
Every kind of metal roof, not just one
Most "metal roofing" searches in Colleyville 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 an HOA 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.
Colleyville re-roof permits
The City of Colleyville requires a permit on all re-roof projects, and roofing contractors must register with the city. Its inspection covers the outside of the house and an attic check of vent piping and exhaust vents, and the city offers virtual re-roof inspections. On a metal roof we replace the vent flashings and pipe boots with ones made for the panel, which is what the inspector wants to see anyway. Fees and steps change, so we confirm them with Building Inspections before your job starts.
Hail around Colleyville
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 36 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Colleyville from 2016 through the September 2026 update. The closest big one was 2.75-inch hail in Bedford on May 27, 2024, about two miles away, the same day 2.75-inch hail fell in Euless and Hurst. Earlier, 3-inch hail fell in Keller on April 28, 2021, and the list includes 1.75-inch hail in east Fort Worth and Tarrant County as recently as March 2025.
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.
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.
