A golf community in a big-hail corner of DFW
Trophy Club began in 1973 as a planned community built around a country club and a golf course designed by Ben Hogan, and today it has about 13,700 residents (Census estimate). Its homes run from the original golf-course neighborhoods to newer sections, nearly all under HOA guidelines. It also sits in one of the worst hail corridors we serve.
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists more than 50 reports of hail 1.75 inches (golf-ball size) or larger within about 10 miles of Trophy Club from 2016 through the September 2026 update. The largest was 4.25-inch hail near Bartonville on June 11, 2023, about four and a half miles away, and the same storm brought 4-inch hail near Grapevine Reservoir. On May 27, 2024, 2-inch hail was reported at the Roanoke-area airport, about three miles from town. The Storm Prediction Center's 2026 reports include 1-inch hail 3 miles northwest of Keller and 1.5-inch hail 2 miles southeast of Haslet on August 26, 2026 and 1-inch hail just east-northeast of Keller on September 21, 2026.
That's why the Trophy Club owners who call us about metal usually have the same story: the roof has been replaced after hail, maybe twice, and they want the next one to be the last for a long time. 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.
Every kind of metal roof, not just one
Most "metal roofing" searches in Trophy Club 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.
Older golf-course homes vs. newer sections
- Original golf-course homes from the 1970s and 1980s can have more hips, valleys and roof-to-wall joints, and sometimes old decking that needs replacing. Those details decide the price more than the panel does. Stone-coated steel or metal shingles suit many of these traditional homes.
- Newer sections have bigger, simpler planes over great rooms, which is where full-length standing seam panels look and work best.
- Golf-course lots take stray balls. Steel shrugs off most of them, but a direct hit can leave a small dent, and we'll tell you that up front.
HOA approval and Town of Trophy Club permits
Most Trophy Club neighborhoods want the roof material and color approved before work starts. We provide product sheets, color samples and impact ratings for your HOA submittal. The Town of Trophy Club requires a re-roofing permit (its fee schedule lists $85), filed through the town's online portal by a contractor registered with the town. We handle the filing and the inspection.
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.
