Southlake — standing seam metal roof
A modern home whose owners wanted the last roof they'd ever buy — and one that looked the part.
The problem
A forever home wanted a forever roof
The owners had built their Southlake house to stay in. The clean modern lines called for something better than another 25-year shingle, and they were tired of the cycle — re-roof, wait fifteen years, re-roof again. They came to us asking one question: what do we install once and never think about?
What we did
24-gauge steel, seamed to the roof
We installed a concealed-fastener standing seam system in 24-gauge steel — heavy enough to stay flat and resist oil-canning across the long, low slopes. The finish is a matte Kynar bronze, a commercial-grade PVDF coating warranted 40 years against fade. Panels were roll-formed to length and locked at raised seams, with every fastener hidden and clipped to solid decking, so nothing penetrates the water plane.
Underneath, a high-temp synthetic underlayment handles the heat that builds under metal in a Texas summer. The result reflects heat instead of absorbing it, shrugs off wind, and — installed over decking the way we do it — is no louder in a storm than the shingles it replaced.

They wanted to install a roof once. This is that roof — and the first real storm since, they slept straight through it.Next project — Prosper
