Metal Roofing Across Dallas, From Lakewood Tudors to Far North Dallas
What does a metal roof look like on a 1920s Lakewood Tudor, a Lake Highlands ranch or a new two-storey in Far North Dallas? Each calls for a different system, and Permanent Metal Roofing Systems forms or installs every one of them. We install standing seam in steel, aluminum, copper and zinc, along with stone-coated steel and metal shingles, on Dallas homes, and we supply panels, shop drawings and custom flashing for commercial buildings. Most of the city lies in Dallas County, and downtown is about 9 miles from our Mesquite office.

What Dallas Homes Need From a Metal Roof
Dallas housing spans a century. East Dallas and Oak Cliff hold 1920s-40s Tudors and craftsman bungalows with steep front gables, low porch roofs and chimneys that need careful flashing. North Dallas and Lake Highlands are full of 1950s-70s ranches with long, low rooflines. Far North Dallas and the Redbird and Mountain Creek corridors add 1990s-2020s brick-veneer two-storeys. Nearly all of it sits under composition shingle, which dries and sheds granules under Texas sun. For a Kessler Park bungalow we might pair metal shingles with a mechanical lock porch; for a Lake Highlands ranch, snap lock standing seam; for a newer two-storey, stone-coated steel.
We serve Lakewood and East Dallas, Preston Hollow, Oak Cliff and Kessler Park, and Lake Highlands, from White Rock Lake to Love Field and from the Downtown and Uptown skyline out to Far North Dallas.
Why Dallas Roofs Take a Beating
Two recent storms frame roofing in Dallas. On October 20, 2019, an EF3 tornado tore a 15-mile path through Preston Hollow and North Dallas. On May 28, 2024, a derecho pushed 70-80 mph straight-line winds through the city and knocked out power to more than 800,000 North Texans. Wind is the lesson: standing seam held by concealed clips, spaced closer at eaves and ridges, resists the uplift that peels shingles. Hail still matters, so ask about products with manufacturer UL 2218 Class 4 ratings, choose 24-gauge steel to limit cosmetic dents, and check the Class 4 credit your own carrier sets.
- 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

Roof Systems for Dallas Homes and Buildings
Dallas needs the full PMRS range. Mechanical lock in copper or zinc suits historic porch roofs and bays in Lakewood and Kessler Park. Snap lock standing seam fits the long, low ranch roofs of Lake Highlands and North Dallas. Stone-coated steel suits HOA subdivisions. For commercial owners, architects and general contractors near Downtown, Uptown and Love Field, we provide take-offs, shop drawings and roll-formed panels cut to each run.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
A clean, modern roof with no exposed screws to back out, available with Class 4 impact-rated assemblies.
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
Interlocking metal shingles that shed hail and wind and keep a cedar, slate or tile appearance.
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
Valley, wall and step flashing, coping and chimney caps bent to match your roof color and profile.
Run your Dallas roof through the standing seam cost calculator in about a minute; a free on-site measurement turns it into a firm price.
Getting a Metal Roof Approved in Dallas
In Dallas, HOAs are common in newer Far North Dallas and southern Dallas subdivisions but rare in the historic inner-ring neighborhoods, where conservation districts set exterior rules instead. Where an HOA exists, Texas Property Code 202.011 generally bars it from banning impact-resistant or energy-efficient roofing that resembles approved materials, while still allowing color and appearance rules. In a conservation district, we review the district’s standards before choosing a profile. We pull the city permit where required.

Metal Roofing in Dallas: Common Questions
Do Dallas conservation districts allow metal roofs?
It depends on the district. Each conservation district in Dallas sets its own exterior standards, and some address roof materials and profiles. Before we recommend a system, we read the standards that apply to your street and choose a product that fits them, such as metal shingles that echo the original look or standing seam on a rear addition. Then we handle the permit.
What metal roof fits a 1920s Oak Cliff bungalow?
Bungalows usually combine a moderate main roof with a shallow front porch. We often roof the main slopes in a 1-inch snap lock or a metal shingle for a fine-grained look, then switch to mechanical lock on the porch, which is rated down to 1/2:12. Copper on the porch alone is a classic accent that weathers to a deep brown over time.
Does PMRS take on commercial roofing work in Dallas?
Yes. The kinds of commercial buildings we work on include schools, hospitals, hotels and shopping malls. For Dallas projects we provide estimating and take-offs, shop drawings and project engineering. We can supply roll-formed panels, trim and coping to the general contractor or install the roof ourselves, and site-specific engineering is available on request.
Do you offer free metal roofing estimates in Dallas?
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, Dallas is roughly 9 miles away.
