What we see on Weatherford metal buildings
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Leaks at hundreds of screws | Washers aged by sun and heat | Re-screw with oversize fasteners; see exposed-fastener roofing |
| Rust at end laps and eaves | Water held in laps | Treat and coat, or new one-piece panels |
| Dripping inside on cool mornings | Condensation, not a leak | Insulation and vapor control; see shops and barndos |
| Dents and cracked light panels after hail | Storm damage | Document, then replace damaged panels and light panels |
Options, cheapest to most complete
- Re-screw and seal when panels are sound
- Re-screw and coat with an acrylic or silicone system
- Retrofit new panels over the old roof, with room for insulation
- Tear off and re-panel with 24- or 26-gauge R-panel, PBR or standing seam
We form standing seam and R-panel/PBR in 24 or 26 gauge on our own roll formers, cut to the measured length of each run. Metal lead time is typically 1 to 2 weeks. Each panel is formed to the measured run, so a long shop gets one-piece panels with no end laps.
Low-slope sections and office additions get TPO, mod bit or a coating, and we tell you when metal isn't the right answer for a pitch.
Weatherford code and permits
The City of Weatherford adopted the 2021 International Building Code and 2021 International Existing Building Code effective June 10, 2025 (Ordinance O2025-22). Inside city limits a permit is required for roof replacement or major roof repair, and contractors doing permitted work must be registered with the city and carry at least $300,000 in general liability insurance. Commercial permits go through plan review by each city department, which the city says can take from a few days to several weeks, so we build that into the schedule. Under the 2021 IBC reroofing rules both cities have adopted, a new roof generally can't be laid over an existing roof that is water-soaked or deteriorated, or over one that already has two or more layers. A moisture survey tells us which applies.
Parker County hail record
| Date | What NOAA logged |
|---|---|
| March 16, 2023 | 2- to 3-inch hail a few miles northwest of Weatherford |

Source: NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database, Parker County, TX. Parker County logged 43 reports of golf-ball-size (1.75-inch) or larger hail from 2016 through mid-2026. A report shows where hail was seen, not whether a given roof was damaged.
We document the damage with photos and measurements and can be on the roof when your adjuster inspects. We don't adjust or negotiate claims; you work the claim with your insurance company. Texas law requires you to pay your deductible, and we never waive or rebate it. In Texas you generally have 1 year from the date of loss to file; check your policy.
Keeping the shop working
- Sections dried in the same day; no open roof overnight
