What Crandall Homes Need From a Metal Roof
Crandall has two very different housing stocks. The historic downtown keeps early-1900s and mid-century homes from its rail-town days, which may have board decking, older porch roofs and more than one layer of past roofing. Since 2020 the population has roughly doubled through 2019-2025 production subdivisions such as Wildcat Ranch and Travis Ranch Estates, where builders typically use standard composition shingles. For the older homes, a full tear-off followed by 1.5-inch snap lock on the main roof and mechanical lock on low porches fits the simple roof lines. For the newer homes, stone-coated steel or metal shingles upgrade the builder roof while keeping the look an HOA expects.
We serve Wildcat Ranch, Travis Ranch Estates, historic downtown Crandall and homes across Crandall ISD along the US 175 corridor, in the town that served as a film location for Bonnie and Clyde (1967).
Weather Notes for a Crandall Metal Roof
Golf-ball (1.75-inch) hail was reported near Crandall on March 26, 2025, the kind of stone that bruises and cracks composition shingles. On a metal roof, that size is where gauge and profile choices show. Stone-coated steel and several metal shingle lines carry manufacturer UL 2218 Class 4 ratings, and their texture hides small marks. On standing seam, 24-gauge resists dents better than 26-gauge, though cosmetic dents can still happen. Ask your carrier about Class 4 credits, which each company sets for itself. Open country along US 175 also brings wind, so we tighten clip spacing at the eaves and rakes.

Our Metal Roofing Work in Crandall, TX
Stone-coated steel and metal shingles matter most in Crandall because most homes are new production builds in HOA sections, where a textured roof that resists hail is the practical upgrade. Standing seam suits the older downtown homes and owners who want a long-life roof with clean lines. Metal gutters, chimney caps and custom flashing round out older houses whose original details have worn out.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Snap lock and mechanical lock panels with concealed clips, roll-formed in-house and cut to the length of each Crandall roof run.
Stone-Coated Steel
Steel panels coated in stone granules for the look of shake, shingle or tile, with impact ratings from the manufacturer.
Metal Shingles and Shakes
Aluminum and steel shakes and slate-look shingles for homeowners who want metal performance without a ribbed look.
Shop, Barn and Porch Panels
Exposed-fastener panels that cover big outbuildings at a lower cost per square foot than standing seam.
Custom Flashing and Chimney Caps
Custom chimney caps, cricket flashing and trim in steel, stainless steel or copper.

Getting a Metal Roof Approved in Crandall
New master-planned sections of Crandall, such as Wildcat Ranch, are HOA-governed, while the old town is not. Texas Property Code 202.011 generally keeps an HOA from banning impact-resistant or energy-efficient roofing that resembles the materials it approves, though it can still set color and appearance rules. For a Wildcat Ranch home, that usually means an architectural request listing the color and profile. Downtown owners skip that step. In both cases, we pull the city permit where required.

Crandall Metal Roof Questions
My Wildcat Ranch home is new; why replace the roof already?
Most owners wait until a storm forces the question. The case for switching then is that builder-grade shingles are often the first claim after hail like the golf-ball stones near Crandall in March 2025, and a second shingle roof faces the same risk. If your roof needs replacing anyway, moving to stone-coated steel or metal shingles avoids paying for shingles twice.
When is hail season around Crandall, and when should I schedule?
Most North Texas hail falls in spring, roughly March through June, though fall storms happen too. Metal roofs can be installed year-round in dry weather, so booking after the spring storms or before the next season both work. If a storm has already damaged your roof, schedule the inspection promptly so the insurance claim is documented while the damage is fresh.
What does an older downtown Crandall house need under a new metal roof?
Usually a full tear-off first. Early-1900s and mid-century homes may have plank decking, gaps or layers of old roofing that hide soft spots. We remove everything to the deck, replace damaged boards or add sheathing, then lay underlayment before the panels go on. Chimney caps, eave flashing and gutters are bent in-house to fit older, out-of-square lines.
Do you help Crandall homeowners with insurance after hail?
After a storm we photograph and measure the damage, note the date, and write up a scope you can hand to your adjuster. Coverage is your carrier’s decision. The deductible is yours to pay under Texas law, and we never absorb it.
