Standing seam on estate homes
Westover Hills is its own incorporated town off I-30, about six miles west of downtown Fort Worth, bordered by Fort Worth and near Westworth Village. It incorporated in 1939, had about 260 people in the late 1940s, and the Census Bureau estimates about 643 residents today. Its homes are mostly large residences on big lots. On houses like these, standing seam shows up two ways: as the whole roof on modern, farmhouse and Hill Country designs, and as accents — porch roofs, bay windows, low-slope transitions and dormers — on homes whose main roof is slate, tile or shingle. Both have to look intentional, with straight seams, clean transitions and colors chosen to work with stone and brick.
| Use | What we usually recommend |
|---|---|
| Full roof | 24-gauge mechanically seamed or 24/26-gauge snap-lock, in a muted Kynar color |
| Porch and bay accents | Standing seam matched to the main roof's trim or window color |
| Low-slope areas behind tile or slate | Mechanically seamed panels rated for low pitch |
| Guest house, cabana or garage | Matching standing seam so the property reads as one design |
Why we form panels ourselves
We own our roll formers and bring them to the job. Each panel is formed to the exact length of its roof plane, so long runs go on without end laps, and if a panel gets damaged we form another on the spot instead of waiting days on a supplier. We use 24 or 26 gauge on homes and skip 29 gauge (why). See panels roll-formed to length and snap-lock standing seam.
A real standing seam job
We installed standing seam on a brick ranch home near Rhome. That house is near our office, not in Westover Hills, but the steps are the same: tear-off, deck check, synthetic underlayment, new flashing at every wall and pipe, and hidden fasteners under the seam.
Hail on the west side of Fort Worth
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 36 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Westover Hills from 2016 through the September 2026 update. The largest was 3-inch hail on October 10, 2019, reported about 2.8 miles away near the Carswell air base, and the most recent big report was 2.75-inch hail on April 25, 2026 near Hodge in north Fort Worth. Standing seam usually keeps shedding water after storms that ruin shingles, but very large hail can dent it, and we never call a roof hail-proof. Read metal roofs and hail: what to expect. 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.
