Aluminum roofing is the corrosion-proof member of the metal family, lighter than steel and immune to rust, with trade-offs Aubrey homeowners should weigh honestly.
Aluminum never rusts, weighs less than steel, and forms well around complex roof shapes. The honest counterweights in Aubrey: it is softer than steel, so hail cosmetic denting is more likely, and it typically costs more per square than galvalume steel. Inland, steel usually wins on value; aluminum earns its place on specific homes and details.

Aluminum in Aubrey, specifically
Aluminum Roofing behaves differently on Aubrey roofs than the brochure version suggests. This is growth-corridor stock: recent builds, builder-spec roofs, and owners discovering the difference between the shingle the builder chose and the one they would choose. Metal changes the calculation on those houses: a step up in wind rating and service life, with panels that ride out gusts that lift shingle tabs.
The permit runs through Aubrey’s building department; we handle the filing and the inspection scheduling as part of the job. Hail is the tax every DFW roof eventually pays. Steel takes cosmetic dents and keeps the water out, a trade most metal owners accept happily. Nearby Denton and Lewisville see the same crews and the same spec, so the install you would get has local addresses attached. The next step costs nothing: a documented inspection and a straight answer on whether this system fits.

Hail near Aubrey
Reported hail is less frequent around Aubrey: NOAA lists 10 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger within 4 miles. Fewer reports can also reflect fewer storm spotters in smaller communities, so a quiet record is not a guarantee. Hail that size was reported in 9 of the last 20 years. The largest stones on record nearby measured 2.75 inches (baseball size) on April 3, 2014. The most recent report: 1.75-inch hail on April 8, 2024.
April 3, 2014: 2.75-inch hail (baseball size)

Common questions about aluminum roofing in Aubrey
Is aluminum better than steel for Aubrey roofs?
Usually not inland. Steel resists hail denting better and costs less. Aluminum wins where corrosion is the enemy, which matters most near salt water rather than in DFW.
Does aluminum dent in hail?
It is softer than steel, so cosmetic denting is more likely in a significant hail event, though the weather seal typically survives. Policies treat cosmetic denting differently; ask your carrier.
Is upgrading from builder-grade shingles worth it in Aubrey?
Usually at the first replacement or claim: Class 4 impact-rated systems earn many Texas carriers' premium discounts, and newer communities' HOA standards generally approve them easily. The math works hardest on homes facing decades of DFW hail.
How often does hail hit Aubrey?
NOAA lists 10 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger within 4 miles of Aubrey. Smaller communities have fewer storm spotters, so reports tend to undercount what actually falls. The most recent report was 1.75-inch hail on April 8, 2024.
How old are most homes in Aubrey?
The median home in Aubrey was built in 2013, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 10% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 59% were built in 2010 or later. Many homes here still have their original builder-installed roof.
