Grapevine, TX metal roofs, formed and installed by PMRS
Metal Roofs for Grapevine, an 1840s Town With 1980s Streets
Grapevine was settled in the mid-1840s, before Fort Worth existed, yet about half of its houses were built in the 1980s and 1990s. Permanent Metal Roofing Systems roofs both: historic homes that need a Certificate of Appropriateness, and brick two-storeys that need a roof able to stand up to wind coming across the airport and the lake. We install standing seam in painted steel, copper or zinc, along with DECRA stone-coated steel, steel shakes and shingles, and PBR or corrugated panels for outbuildings. At about 32 miles from our Mesquite office, Grapevine is one of the nearer Tarrant County cities on our schedule. We form standing seam on our own roll formers and give every homeowner a free estimate in writing, itemized after we measure.

Roof Types We See Around Grapevine
Census estimates put Grapevine’s median home at 1993. The 1980s were the busiest decade, producing almost 29 percent of today’s houses, and the 1980s and 1990s together account for about half. Most of those are brick traditional two-storeys with steep composition roofs, and plenty have been re-shingled at least once. The College Street Historic District is a different world. Its design guidelines describe houses from every stage of Grapevine’s growth: vernacular cottages and Queen Anne homes from roughly 1870 to 1900, Prairie and Arts and Crafts houses and bungalows from 1900 to 1930, minimalist traditional cottages, and 1950s and 1960s ranches, with pitches running from steep Victorian forms to low ranch slopes. Newer custom homes near Grapevine Lake round out the mix.
We serve homes throughout Grapevine, from the Main Street, College Street and Cotton Belt Railroad historic districts to the streets off Northwest Highway and Lucas Drive and the custom homes near Grapevine Lake.
Grapevine Hail, Wind and Heat: What a Roof Faces
Two EF-1 tornadoes crossed Grapevine on the morning of December 13, 2022. The first, about 100 yards wide with winds near 110 mph, ran from the Sam’s Club area toward the Gaylord Texan and tore at the roofs of several single-family homes; the second struck Grapevine Mills. The city tallied about 45 affected structures and five minor injuries, and homes along Lucas Drive near Northwest Highway were left with roof damage. Wind is the steady threat here: on August 4, 2025, the DFW Airport weather station on the city’s southeast side recorded an 89 mph gust. On exposed lake and airport-side homes we favor mechanically seamed standing seam with tight perimeter clip spacing, and, where hail worries an owner more, a stone-coated or steel-shake product that its manufacturer rates Class 4.

Our Metal Roofing Work in Grapevine, TX
On Grapevine’s 1980s and 1990s two-storeys, metal shakes, steel shingles and DECRA stone-coated steel are the common picks, because they keep the look of a traditional roof on steep, multi-gable designs. Lake-area custom homes often suit standing seam, and some justify copper or zinc on porches, bays or the whole roof; our mechanical lock panels can be run in 16-ounce copper or Rheinzink zinc. In the historic districts, the choice starts with the guidelines, and metal has a local precedent: buildings in the Cotton Belt Railroad district range from board-and-batten wood to corrugated steel industrial structures. Shallow porch roofs on ranch-era houses are a job for mechanical lock, which is rated for slopes as gentle as 1/2:12.

Getting a Metal Roof Approved in Grapevine
Grapevine requires a permit for every residential re-roof, and its requirements sheet ties the work to Chapter 9 and Section R908 of the 2021 International Residential Code. Roof vents have to be connected and flashed under the same permit, and the final inspection must be called in or the permit expires. We file the permit and book that final. In the Main Street, College Street and Cotton Belt Railroad historic districts, and on designated landmarks, any exterior alteration needs a Certificate of Appropriateness before work starts. City staff can sign off routine items within a few days, while bigger changes go to the Historic Preservation Commission, which meets monthly. Outside the districts, HOA review is common in lake-area subdivisions and those built after 1990.

Metal Roofing in Grapevine: Common Questions
My house is in Grapevine’s College Street Historic District. Can it get a metal roof?
Possibly, but the Certificate of Appropriateness comes first. The district guidelines favor keeping or faithfully matching original character-defining features, roofs included, so a request is strongest when the metal profile and color suit the era of the house. Talk with the city’s historic preservation staff early; the application needs plans drawn to scale plus material and color samples, which we provide. The certificate is separate from the building permit, so you need both.
Our home sits near DFW Airport. How do you fasten a metal roof for gusts like the 89 mph reading in 2025?
Suction is strongest at eaves, rakes, ridges and corners, so those zones get the most attention. On standing seam we shorten the spacing of the concealed clips there and prefer mechanically seamed panels, whose folded seams hold together better under uplift than snap-together seams. Edge trim is bent in-house to fit each eave and rake. Metal shingles and stone-coated steel follow the manufacturer’s high-wind fastening instructions wherever the maker publishes them.
Is Galvalume steel a good choice for a house right by Grapevine Lake?
Yes. Galvalume substrate warranties exclude salt-marine settings and constant water spray, not a freshwater lake view, so inland Grapevine is well within its intended use. On lakefront lots the bigger questions are exposure to wind across open water and the finish. The coil coater backs the standard PVDF colors we use with a 40-year finish warranty, and a lighter shade reflects more summer sun. Copper and zinc remain options where the architecture calls for them.
Does PMRS repair metal roofs in Grapevine that another company installed?
Yes. We trace leaks at seams, screws, pipe boots and flashing on standing seam, PBR, corrugated and metal shingle roofs, whoever put them on, and explain the cause before we fix it.
