At Best Choice Roofing Metroplex South, we know that North Texas weather doesn’t play by the rules. Living in the Arlington and greater Dallas-Fort Worth area means dealing with everything from scorching summer heat to heavy fall storms. As autumn rolls in, hail and high winds become a serious concern for homeowners, often catching roofs off guard just when temperatures begin to cool. That’s where our expertise and the durability of our metal roofing options, make all the difference.
For years, we’ve helped homeowners across DFW protect their homes with top-quality materials and reliable craftsmanship. Whether you’re recovering from hail damage to a roof, looking to upgrade to a roof that withstands strong winds, or simply trying to stay ahead of the next storm season, our team is here to guide you toward lasting solutions.
Why Autumn Brings Heightened Hail and Wind Risks
Autumn in North Texas is a season of transition, and turbulence. The shift between warm and cold air masses often triggers severe thunderstorms capable of producing large hail and damaging winds. According to the National Weather Service, Texas consistently ranks as one of the top states for hail events, and the DFW area sees its fair share of those impacts each year.
Even small hailstones can cause significant roof hail damage, especially if your shingles are aging or weakened by prior storms. Meanwhile, high winds, often exceeding 60 mph, can loosen, lift, or completely tear shingles away, leaving your roof vulnerable to leaks. Many homeowners underestimate how much wind a roof can withstand until the next big front rolls through. That’s why investing in materials built for performance is key.
The Best Roof for Storms: Why Metal Leads the Pack
When it comes to choosing the best roof for storms, metal stands out for its resilience and longevity. Unlike traditional asphalt shingles, which can crack, curl, or lose granules after repeated hail impacts, metal roofing systems are designed to absorb and deflect damage. The panels are tested to withstand both high winds and hail impact, making them an ideal choice for homes throughout Arlington and DFW’s storm-prone neighborhoods.
At Best Choice Roofing Metroplex South, we install several types of premium metal roofing systems, including:
- Corrugated Metal: A classic choice with ridged panels that provide excellent strength and water runoff. Corrugated steel is particularly cost-effective while still offering impressive dent resistance.
- Standing Seam Metal: Known for its sleek look and interlocking seams, this style minimizes exposed fasteners and adds an extra level of protection against leaks and wind uplift.
- Exposed Fastener Metal: Ideal for utility buildings or budget-friendly upgrades, this system remains durable when properly installed and maintained.
- Metal Shingles: For homeowners who want the beauty of a traditional roof with the strength of metal, metal shingles have a similar look to slate or cedar while standing up to hail and wind damage.
We work with steel and copper roofing options, both known for their incredible durability. Steel roofs, coated to resist corrosion, can take the brunt of a hailstorm without compromising structural integrity. Copper, while softer, develops a natural patina that shields it from the elements and adds timeless curb appeal.
How Metal Roofs Handle Hail and Wind Damage
A well-installed metal roof can resist hailstones up to two inches in diameter without puncturing or compromising performance. While large hail may cause minor cosmetic dents, it rarely affects the roof’s watertight seal or protective coating. Unlike shingles that must often be replaced after a major storm, metal roofs typically only require minor touch-ups or none at all.
As for wind resistance, properly anchored metal panels can endure gusts up to 140 mph, depending on the system, far exceeding what most traditional shingle roofs can handle. That kind of durability gives homeowners peace of mind when storm warnings start flashing across the TV.
If you’ve ever wondered how much wind a roof can withstand, the answer often comes down to material quality, installation precision, and ongoing maintenance, all areas where our team at Best Choice Roofing excels.
