Metal roofing across a big, varied city
Lewisville is about nine miles northeast of DFW Airport in southeastern Denton County, on the south shore of Lewisville Lake. It was part of the Peters Colony, and its first settlers were the families of John King and his son Augustus, who came from Bonham in 1844. Census estimates show it growing from about 125,700 residents in 2020 to about 139,000 in 2025, which makes it one of the biggest cities in Denton County. Lewisville has older neighborhoods near Old Town, decades of HOA subdivisions, homes near the lake, and a lot of commercial property, so "metal roofing in Lewisville" means different things on different streets:
| Property | What we usually recommend |
|---|---|
| HOA subdivision home | Stone-coated steel or metal shingles where a shingle or shake look is expected; standing seam porch and bay accents |
| Older home near Old Town | Standing seam or metal shingles sized to the house, with trim that suits its age |
| Home near Lewisville Lake | Standing seam with coated or stainless fasteners and edge details set for wind off the water |
| Patio, outdoor kitchen or carport | A standing seam or R-panel cover, permitted separately |
| Shop, small commercial or flex building | R-panel or PBR, or a retrofit over the old roof; see commercial metal roofing |
Every kind of metal roof, not just one
Most "metal roofing" searches in Lewisville 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.
Getting a metal roof approved
Many Lewisville subdivisions have HOA architectural rules, and HOA approval comes before the city permit. Committees mostly care about how the roof reads from the street and whether the color fits. Stone-coated steel and metal shingles read as shake or shingle from the curb, and standing seam often gets approved on porches and bays first. We prepare the product sheet, color chip, profile drawing and impact rating so the committee can decide on the first pass. Approval is up to your HOA.
City of Lewisville permits
The City of Lewisville's building permits page lists re-roofs and re-decks among the work it permits, and its building services FAQ says permits must be issued before any construction begins. Permits and inspections run through the city's MGO Connect system, which has its own Roof application. A few more Lewisville rules that matter on a metal roof:
- Contractors register with the city first. The city's registration requirements call for a certificate of liability insurance with at least $100,000 in coverage, and an $80 fee for general contractors.
- A patio cover is a separate permit, and so are siding and window and door replacements, so a project that adds a metal patio roof or new trim gets planned as more than one permit.
- The city publishes a roof inspection waiver request form alongside its inspection documents. We'll tell you whether it applies to your job; we don't skip inspections to save a day.
We register, file in MGO Connect and schedule the inspections. If your neighborhood has an HOA, the HOA approval comes first, and we prepare that packet too.
Hail around Lewisville
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists about 50 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Lewisville from 2016 through the September 2026 update. The worst day was June 11, 2023: 4-inch hail near Grapevine Reservoir, about six miles from the center of town, and 4.25-inch hail near Bartonville. On June 6, 2018, 3-inch hail fell near Coppell and near Carrollton, and on March 14, 2024, 3.5-inch hail fell near Bartonville. Closer in, NOAA lists 1.75-inch hail in Lewisville on May 22, 2024, less than a mile from the center of the city, and the most recent golf-ball-size report nearby was 2-inch hail near Carney on June 2, 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.
Near the lake: wind, humidity and fasteners
Homes near Lewisville Lake see more wind across open water and more humid air than homes a few miles inland. On a metal roof, that shows up in three places: the eaves and rakes, where wind gets under trim first; the fasteners, which should be stainless or coated for the exposure; and the attic, where humid air meets a cool deck. We set fastener spacing at the edges for the exposure, use trim and closures sized to the panel, and check ventilation before the new roof goes on.
Small commercial metal roofs in Lewisville
Lewisville's mix of shops, offices and flex buildings means a lot of older screw-down metal roofs. When the panels are sound, new fasteners and resealed laps can buy years. When they aren't, a retrofit over the existing roof or new full-length panels from our roll formers usually beats patching. We phase the work so the business stays open and provide certificates of insurance before we start. Commercial jobs can carry 10- or 20-year NDL manufacturer warranties.
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.
