Denton County · The Colony, Texas
Metal Roofing for The Colony’s Original Streets and Lakeside Homes
Most of The Colony’s original streets are lined with 1970s and 80s Fox & Jacobs brick homes on small lots, and when those roofs come due, metal is worth a serious look. Permanent Metal Roofing Systems roofs the whole city in metal, using standing seam, stone-coated steel and metal shingles, from those first neighborhoods to Austin Ranch and The Tribute. The Colony is in Denton County on the east shore of Lewisville Lake, about 24 miles northwest of our Mesquite office. Standing seam panels and trim are formed on our own equipment.

Roof Types We See Around The Colony
The Colony’s core neighborhoods are 1970s-80s Fox & Jacobs brick ranches and two-storeys on small lots, with simple gable and hip roofs that have likely been reshingled at least once. With houses close together, a clean, low-maintenance roof matters, and 1-inch or 1.5-inch snap lock standing seam suits these modest roof planes well. A metal shingle is the alternative if you want a traditional texture. Austin Ranch and The Tribute add 2000s-2020s homes with higher-end roofing, often with more complex rooflines; there, stone-coated steel such as DECRA Tile or Shake XD keeps an upscale profile. Lakeside homes get extra attention to edge trim and fastening.
We serve The Tribute, Austin Ranch, Stewart Peninsula and Legends, along with the original Fox & Jacobs neighborhoods near Grandscape, Nebraska Furniture Mart and the SH 121 corridor.
Weather Notes for a The Colony Metal Roof
During the May 28, 2024 derecho an 18-wheeler was overturned on SH 121 in The Colony. Hail of 1 inch fell on March 29, 2025, and 70 mph gusts hit the city on June 8, 2025. Wind is the bigger story here, because open water on Lewisville Lake gives storms a long, unbroken run at lakeside homes. Standing seam handles that with concealed clips spaced closer at eaves and corners, plus trim fastened to suit. For hail, look for a UL 2218 Class 4 rating, and ask your carrier what credit it offers.
- Metal roofing systems with UL 2218 Class 4 ratings available, with the documentation insurers ask for
- Photo-documented roof inspections after hail and wind
- A written, itemized scope you can share with your adjuster

Our Metal Roofing Work in The Colony, TX
Wind exposure near Lewisville Lake and the age of the original housing shape most roofs in The Colony. Snap lock standing seam is a natural fit for the simple Fox & Jacobs rooflines, often with new metal gutters at the same time. In The Tribute and Austin Ranch, stone-coated steel tile and shake profiles fit higher-end homes and HOA expectations while adding Class 4 impact resistance.

Approvals Before a The Colony Metal Roof Goes On
In The Colony, the original 1970s-80s neighborhoods are mostly HOA-free, so owners there usually need only the city permit, which we pull where required. The Tribute, Austin Ranch and Legends are HOA-governed. Texas Property Code 202.011 generally prevents those associations from banning roofing that resists hail and wind or saves energy, provided it resembles the approved materials; color and appearance remain theirs to regulate. We prepare the product data for any architectural review.

The Colony Metal Roof Questions
Is metal worth it on a 1970s Fox & Jacobs home in The Colony?
For many owners, yes. These homes have simple roof planes, so standing seam goes on efficiently and lasts far longer than the shingles it replaces. Tear-off also lets us check decking that may have been through several reroofs. If you plan to stay, a metal roof can be the last roof the house needs for a very long time.
Do lakeside homes on Stewart Peninsula need extra wind detailing?
Yes, they benefit from it. Homes near open water face stronger, steadier winds than homes inland. We tighten clip spacing at eaves, rakes and corners, use hemmed edges and fasten trim to suit the exposure. Site-specific engineering is available on request when a homeowner or builder wants calculated uplift values.
Do the original neighborhoods in The Colony require HOA approval?
Probably not. Most of the original 1970s-80s neighborhoods have no HOA, so the main requirement is the city permit, which we pull where required. If your home is in The Tribute, Austin Ranch or Legends, expect an architectural review. Check your deed records if you are unsure which applies to your lot.
Do you offer free metal roofing estimates in The Colony?
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, The Colony is roughly 24 miles away.
