Insured North Texas roofers installing, replacing, repairing, and maintaining metal roofs on Highland Park homes
A metal roof is built to handle years of changing weather, but not all metal roofing systems are built the same way. Standing seam roofing uses raised panels with concealed clips instead of exposed screws through the face of the roof. That design helps protect against leaks because there are no exposed fasteners or rubber gaskets sitting in the sun and weather.
At Acorn Roofing, we’ve been roofing homes in Highland Park and the greater Dallas area for nearly a decade. For homeowners planning to stay in their home for years to come, metal roofing can be a smart investment in lasting protection.
Standing seam panels run ridge to eave in continuous lengths and lock at raised vertical seams, either snapped or mechanically seamed depending on profile and pitch. Concealed clips hold them to the deck and let them move as they heat and cool, which keeps the attachment out of the weather. On solid decking over underlayment, they are also far quieter in rain than the open purlin roofs people picture. Our metal roof page covers the profiles we carry.
Panels screwed through the face cost less and go up faster, which suits a detached garage, pool house, or covered porch more than a primary elevation. The trade-off is the gasketed screws: they are the wear item and need checking and retorquing on a schedule. Flat profiles are on our flat panel metal roofing page.
Metal goes over a clean deck, not over old shingles. We tear off the sheathing, replace anything soft, and install high-temperature synthetic underlayment before any panel is set, because a metal roof runs hotter than the asphalt it replaced and ordinary felt is not rated for it. See our Highland Park roof replacement sequence.
Most metal roof calls are not panel failures. They are backed-out fasteners, sealant that has given up at a pipe boot or curb, valley metal that has been walked on, or flashing detailed poorly at a wall. We separate cosmetic oil canning, a waviness in flat panel areas and not a defect, from the seam and fastener problems that let water in.
Metal roofs leak at their edges and interruptions, not in the field of the panel. We detail drip edge, rake and eave trim, valley metal, ridge closures, step and counter flashing at chimneys and walls, and boots at every pipe, which are also where uplift begins in a North Texas thunderstorm.
An annual look means checking fastener condition, sealant at penetrations, clip movement, vent function, and debris packed into valleys under Highland Park’s tree canopy. Scheduled visits run through the Roof Shield Care Club.

A metal roof in Highland Park is permitted and inspected by the Town of Highland Park, not the City of Dallas, and that changes both the paperwork and the order of the work. Highland Park is a separate municipality of 2.24 square miles with its own building department.
The Town’s Community Development and Building Inspection department lists the 2024 International Code Council family as the codes it enforces, requires permits for repairs, remodeling, and new construction, and requires contractors to be registered with the Town on top of any state license their trade calls for.
One line in the Town’s rules matters more than the rest on a metal roof: inspections must be obtained before concealing work. On a standing seam system, the clips, the fastener pattern, and the underlayment all vanish under the panels. Before that moment, attachment can be verified by anyone standing on the deck. After it, nobody sees it again without taking the roof apart.
We at Acorn Roofing pull the permit, build to the codes the Town enforces, and schedule that pre-cover inspection into the job rather than around it. The Town also limits construction to Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with none on Sunday or Town holidays, so we sequence panel delivery and seaming to fit a Highland Park block.

Panel work rewards a crew that stages properly and does not leave a house open overnight, which matters on a narrow Highland Park street. Travis’ account of a full replacement turned on exactly that, on a shingle roof rather than a metal one.
“With a quick turnaround, they were able to get a new roof up for our house in less than a day. They took time to make sure the job was done right, the details were what set it apart.”
Detail work is the whole game on metal, where trim, closures, and seam lines are visible from the street when the crew leaves. Read this review on Google.

A metal roof is a long decision, and what determines whether it lasts is settled before the first panel is set: the deck, the underlayment, the profile, and the attachment. We can measure your Highland Park roof, recommend a system for its pitch and elevation, and put the scope in writing first.

Can a metal roof go over my existing Highland Park shingles?
We do not install panels over old shingles. The existing roof comes off to the sheathing so the deck can be inspected and repaired, and so high-temperature underlayment can go down. Overlaying hides deck damage, traps heat against material not rated for it, and leaves an uneven plane that shows through a panel roof.
How does a metal roof handle North Texas hail?
Metal handles hail differently from asphalt rather than being immune to it. Asphalt loses granules and the mat bruises, which is a functional failure. Metal is likelier to dent, which is usually cosmetic, and how much depends on gauge, profile, and what sits under the panel. Impact resistance is classified by the UL 2218 test, so ask which class a quoted panel carries and ask your carrier how it treats cosmetic denting.
Is a metal roof more energy efficient in Highland Park?
A metal panel reflects more solar radiation than a dark asphalt shingle, so less heat conducts into the assembly on a summer afternoon. The gain depends on the finish, the color, and whether the attic is ventilated and insulated properly, which is why we check ridge and soffit venting during the estimate rather than promising an unmeasured number.
What does a metal roof cost in Highland Park?
We do not publish a range. The number depends on the panel profile and gauge, the finish, the pitch and complexity of the roof, how many valleys and penetrations need custom flashing, and what the deck needs once the old roof is off. Estimates are free and come in writing with the scope itemized.
Who permits and inspects a metal roof in Highland Park?
The Town of Highland Park does, through its own Building Inspection department, not the City of Dallas. Permits are required for repairs, remodeling, and new construction, inspections must be obtained before work is concealed, and contractors must be registered with the Town. Construction runs Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with none on Sunday or Town holidays.
