Arlington Metal Roofing for Ranch and Two-Storey Homes
Does a Mesquite-based metal roofer really cover Arlington? Yes, though at about 29 miles west of our office it sits at the far western edge of the area we serve. Permanent Metal Roofing Systems serves Arlington homeowners with standing seam, stone-coated steel and metal shingles, and puts standing seam or PBR panels on commercial buildings. Arlington is in Tarrant County, a straight run west on I-30. We book Arlington estimates ahead and group them with other west-side visits, so expect a scheduled appointment rather than a same-day stop.
- 20+ years of experience
- Lifetime limited warranty
- Free written estimates
Roof Types We See Around Arlington
Central and north Arlington are predominantly 1960s-1990s single-storey brick ranch and traditional homes, including the older streets around Downtown and College Park. Their low, broad hip roofs have likely been through several shingle cycles, and attached porches or patio covers are often too flat for shingles to stay watertight. Snap lock standing seam fits the main roof, and mechanical lock, rated down to 1/2:12, handles the low sections. South Arlington, toward Mansfield and in Southwest Arlington, is larger 1990s-2010s two-storey brick-veneer homes with composition roofs. There, stone-coated steel or a metal shingle keeps the subdivision look and adds impact resistance on big, steep roofs that are costly to replace again.
We serve Downtown and College Park, the Entertainment District, Arlington Highlands and Southwest Arlington, plus homes and businesses near UT Arlington, AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas and the I-30 and I-20 corridors.
Weather Notes for a Arlington Metal Roof
An EF-2 tornado tracked 4.6 miles through Kennedale and south Arlington on April 3, 2012, tearing roofs from homes near I-20 and US-287. Golf-ball hail returned to south Arlington on May 27, 2024, and the May 28, 2024 derecho damaged buildings and downed power lines citywide. That history calls for both hail and wind planning. A UL 2218 Class 4 rated product handles the hail side, and concealed standing seam clips spaced for uplift handle the wind. Check your policy for a cosmetic-damage exclusion, since dents that do not leak may not be covered.
- Honest advice on what Class 4 does and does not cover, including cosmetic denting
- Dated storm-damage photos and measurements
- No pressure and no door-to-door storm chasing

Our Metal Roofing Work in Arlington, TX
Arlington’s split housing stock drives two kinds of work. In the older central and north neighborhoods, snap lock standing seam with mechanical lock on low porches replaces tired shingle roofs. In south Arlington, Class 4 stone-coated steel and metal shingles suit HOA two-storeys in a hail-prone area. Commercial buildings along the I-30 and I-20 corridors can use PBR or structural 2-inch mechanical lock.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Concealed-fastener standing seam in 24-gauge Galvalume, aluminum, copper or zinc, with Kynar 500 finishes built for Texas sun.

Getting a Metal Roof Approved in Arlington
HOAs are common in south Arlington subdivisions built after 1990 but rare in the older central neighborhoods. Where one applies, Texas Property Code 202.011 generally means it cannot forbid an impact-resistant or energy-efficient roof that resembles approved materials, though it can still regulate color and appearance. Owners in the older central neighborhoods can usually skip that review step entirely. Whichever applies, we pull the City of Arlington permit where required and handle the inspections.

Metal Roofing in Arlington: Common Questions
Will my central Arlington ranch need structural work for metal?
Rarely. Metal roofing typically weighs less than the composition shingles it replaces, so the framing on a 1960s-1990s ranch is usually fine. What older homes do need is a sound deck, so we inspect it at tear-off and replace soft or damaged sheathing. Low porch roofs may need mechanical lock instead of snap lock.
Do you roof commercial buildings in Arlington?
Yes. The kinds of commercial buildings we work on include schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers and pre-engineered metal buildings, using standing seam, 2-inch mechanical lock or PBR panels. We also provide take-offs, shop drawings and project engineering for general contractors and architects, and we can supply fabricated panels, trim and coping to another contractor’s crew.
What if south Arlington hail dents a metal roof?
Small dents are usually cosmetic: the panel still sheds water and keeps working. Many Texas policies now carry a cosmetic-damage exclusion, so dents that do not leak may not be covered. Heavier 24-gauge steel and textured stone-coated profiles hide hail marks better, so weigh that when choosing, and read your policy before a storm.
Do you offer free metal roofing estimates in Arlington?
Yes, and they come in writing. A PMRS estimator measures the roof, looks at the decking and flashing, lays out panel and color choices, and itemizes the price. From our Mesquite office, Arlington is roughly 29 miles away.
