Thinking about a metal roof, or need work on the one you have? One call connects you with a local roofer who installs and repairs metal roofs on homes, barns, and other buildings.
Dallas sits at the southern edge of Tornado Alley, where spring cold fronts collide with humid Gulf air to produce severe thunderstorms with hail, damaging wind and occasional tornadoes, including the EF3 that tore through North Dallas in October 2019. Summers are long and hot, with several 100-degree days most years that wear down roofing materials. Freezing rain and ice storms show up a couple of times in a typical winter.
Roofs in Dallas have to stand up to spring hailstorms, tornadoes and severe thunderstorm winds, extreme summer heat and UV and winter ice storms and freezing rain. Mention what happened to your roof when you call, so you are connected with a roofer who handles that kind of project.

Do Dallas roof repairs need a permit?
Dallas requires a re-roof permit when a large area or the entire roof is replaced, and a separate building permit if rafters, joists or other roof structure are damaged. Minor repairs to roofing or roof vents, and single-family or duplex re-roof work valued at $500 or less, do not need a permit, though historic, conservation and planned development districts can add requirements.
- Shingle and roof deck replacement uses a roofing permit, while damage to rafters or joists requires a full building permit.
- Homes in historic, conservation or planned development districts may face extra roofing requirements even for otherwise exempt work.
- Re-roofing permits can be obtained at a Building Inspection district office or online.
Check with the City of Dallas Development Services, Building Inspection Division if you are unsure.
Types of Metal Roofing for Homes
Metal roofing comes in several styles that look and perform differently. Metal roofing contractors commonly work with:
- Standing seam panels with raised seams and hidden fasteners
- Exposed fastener panels, often called corrugated or ribbed panels
- Metal shingles designed to look like slate, shake, or tile
- Stone-coated steel with a textured, granular finish
- Steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc, each with different strengths

Metal Roofing in Dallas: questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Dallas?

Minor repairs to roofing or roof vents, and single-family or duplex re-roof work valued at $500 or less, do not need a permit, though historic, conservation and planned development districts can add requirements.

What causes the most roof damage in Dallas?
Dallas sits at the southern edge of Tornado Alley, where spring cold fronts collide with humid Gulf air to produce severe thunderstorms with hail, damaging wind and occasional tornadoes, including the EF3 that tore through North Dallas in October 2019. Summers are long and hot, with several 100-degree days most years that wear down roofing materials. Freezing rain and ice storms show up a couple of times in a typical winter. Common problems local roofers see include spring hailstorms, tornadoes and severe thunderstorm winds, extreme summer heat and UV and winter ice storms and freezing rain.
Which parts of Dallas can I get a roofer in?
Calls are connected with roofing companies that serve Dallas, including Lakewood, Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, Oak Cliff, Kessler Park and Bishop Arts, and nearby areas such as Irving, Garland and Richardson.
Is a metal roof a good choice for my home?
Metal works well for many homes, especially in areas with snow, wildfire risk, or strong sun. It may be less appealing if your budget is tight or neighborhood rules limit materials. A local metal roofer can help you weigh the options.
What is the difference between standing seam and corrugated metal?
Standing seam panels have raised seams and hidden fasteners, which give a clean look and fewer exposed holes. Corrugated or ribbed panels are fastened through the face, which often costs less but means more fasteners to maintain.
