Metal roofing for a big, established town
Flower Mound covers about 20,000 acres between Grapevine Lake and Lewisville Lake in southern Denton County. The Handbook of Texas says it was settled soon after Sam Houston settled a tribal dispute in the area in 1844, and the Peters Colony settlers named it for a 50-foot mound covered in Indian paintbrush. Today it's one of the largest towns we serve, with Census estimates showing about 79,500 residents.
Flower Mound has more variety than its subdivisions suggest: master-planned neighborhoods with architectural rules, older homes on bigger lots, and acreage with shops and barns. If you're specifically after a standing seam roof, our standing seam in Flower Mound page goes deep on that. This page covers the rest of the metal options and where each one fits:
| Property | What we usually recommend |
|---|---|
| HOA neighborhood home that has to read as shingle or shake | Stone-coated steel in a shake, shingle or tile profile, or pressed metal shingles |
| Traditional brick or stone home with a turret, bay or arched entry | Copper or standing seam on the feature, with a designer, slate-look or tile main roof |
| Mediterranean-style home | Stone-coated steel in a tile profile, a lighter alternative to concrete or clay tile |
| Modern, farmhouse or transitional home | A full standing seam roof |
| Shop, barn, detached garage or pool cabana on a larger lot | R-panel or PBR, or standing seam to match the house |
Every kind of metal roof, not just one
Most "metal roofing" searches in Flower Mound 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, 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.
Stone-coated steel: metal that doesn't look like metal
In a lot of Flower Mound neighborhoods, the architectural committee wants every roof to fit the street. Stone-coated steel is how owners get metal's strength there. The panels are formed steel with a bonded stone-granule finish, shaped to look like shake, a dimensional shingle or barrel tile from the street. They're far lighter than concrete tile and don't split or curl like wood. We bring real samples, the manufacturer's impact and wind ratings, and a color board for the committee. See stone-coated steel roofing.
Copper and metal accents on traditional homes
Many larger Flower Mound homes are brick and stone with a bay, turret or arched entry out front. That's where a small amount of metal makes the biggest difference. Copper ages from bright to brown to green over the years; painted standing seam keeps its color and costs less. Either one gets its own flashing where it meets the main roof and the wall, so the accent doesn't become the leak.
Getting a metal roof past a Flower Mound HOA
Committees mostly care about three things: how the roof reads from the street, whether the color fits the neighborhood palette, and whether the product is a recognized manufacturer's system. We prepare the product sheet, color chip, profile drawing and impact rating so the committee can decide on the first pass, and we don't order material until you have the approval in hand. Approval is always up to your HOA.
Town of Flower Mound permits
The Town of Flower Mound's residential permit guidelines say that to have your roof replaced, a permit must be obtained, and that roof replacement or re-covering must comply with the Town's currently adopted codes. The Town's current building permit fee schedule lists a $220 reroof fee. We prepare and file the application for you and schedule the inspections.
The same guidelines require a building permit for patio covers, porches and other shade structures. If you're adding a standing seam porch or patio roof, not just replacing an existing one, that's its own permit, and we plan both together.
Hail around Flower Mound
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 56 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Flower Mound from 2016 through the September 2026 update, one of the highest counts of any town we serve. June 11, 2023 was the worst day: NOAA lists 4.25-inch hail near Bartonville, about a mile from the center of Flower Mound, 4-inch hail near Grapevine Reservoir about two miles away, and 3-inch hail near Lewisville. On March 14, 2024, 3.5-inch hail fell near Bartonville about two miles from town; on April 1, 2024, 3-inch hail fell near Smoots to the west; and on May 27, 2024, 1.75-inch hail fell near Bartonville again.
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.
Wind off Grapevine Lake and Lewisville Lake
Homes near open water in and around Flower Mound take more wind across the lake and more humid air than homes a few miles inland. On a metal roof, that shows up first at the eaves and rakes, where wind gets under the trim; at the fasteners, which should be stainless or coated for the exposure; and in the attic, where humid air meets a cool deck on spring mornings. We set clip and fastener spacing at the edges for the exposure, use trim and closures made for the panel, and check ventilation before the new roof goes on.
Shops, barns and pool cabanas
On bigger Flower Mound lots, the house is often only one of the roofs. We put R-panel, PBR or standing seam on detached garages, shops, barns and pool cabanas in 24 or 26 gauge, in a color that matches the house, and our own crews build pool houses, outdoor kitchens and pergolas too. See our guide to covered outdoor kitchens and pavilions.
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.
