Frisco: big roofs, HOAs and a lot of hail
Frisco sits on State Highway 289 and Farm Road 720 about 30 miles north of Dallas, mostly in Collin County with a part in Denton County, and Census estimates show about 237,000 residents. Most of its homes are newer and master-planned, with tall two-story elevations, big simple roof planes and HOA architectural review. Those big planes are where metal shines, and the HOA is where the conversation starts.
Frisco hail is the reason most owners call
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 69 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Frisco from 2016 through the September 2026 update, the highest count of the towns on this page. The largest was 4.5-inch hail near Allen on March 24, 2019. On June 11, 2023, 3.5-inch hail fell near Carney, about two miles from Frisco, and this year the list includes 2-inch hail near Carney on June 2, 2026, about three and a half miles away.
Many Frisco owners are on their second or third hail claim in the same house. Every shingle roof put back the same way is waiting for the next storm. Metal won't stop hail from falling and very large stones can dent it, but a steel roof doesn't lose granules, crack or curl, so it keeps the water out after storms that end shingle roofs. 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.
Every kind of metal roof, not just one
Most "metal roofing" searches in Frisco 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.
Getting metal past a Frisco HOA
Every Frisco HOA writes its own rules, and some were written before anyone asked about metal. What tends to work:
- Stone-coated steel or metal shingles in a profile that reads like the shingle, shake or tile roofs on your street.
- Standing seam accents over the porch, a bay or the entry with a Class 4 designer shingle on the main roof.
- Full standing seam in a muted color like charcoal, dark bronze or black, especially on modern and farmhouse elevations.
We put together the product sheet, impact rating, color chip and a profile drawing for the committee. Approval is the HOA's call, and we'll help you ask the right way.
Frisco reroof permits
The City of Frisco requires a reroof permit, and contractors must be registered with Frisco Building Inspections before most permits are issued. Frisco offers self-service permits when a roof is replaced with the same material. Going from shingles to metal is a change of material, so we check with Building Inspections first and file the way the city asks. A final inspection closes the permit.
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.
