Aluminum roofing is the corrosion-proof member of the metal family, lighter than steel and immune to rust, with trade-offs Flower Mound homeowners should weigh honestly.
Aluminum will not rust, weighs less than steel, and bends cleanly around complicated roof shapes, which is why it earns a place on certain Flower Mound homes and details. It also has two honest drawbacks. It is softer than steel, so cosmetic hail denting is more likely, and it usually costs more per square than galvalume steel. Inland, steel tends to win on value. We start every aluminum conversation with a free written estimate and a photo-documented inspection. On insurance work we never waive a deductible, which Texas law prohibits, and we are not a public adjuster.
Weighing aluminum against Flower Mound hail
The hail record around Flower Mound is the main thing to weigh with this metal. Since 2006 there have been 15 days with golf-ball hail or larger within 7 miles of the city, and the biggest stone on record measured 4.25 inches on June 11, 2023. Aluminum keeps shedding water after impacts like that, but a softer metal shows dents sooner, so we talk through how much cosmetic marking you can live with before you choose it over steel. The housing side matters too. With a median build year of 1997, many homes are on roofs that are due for a material decision, and a sound deck takes metal well, so we check the substrate first. Cedar Crest covers Flower Mound and the rest of Denton County, including nearby Double Oak and Highland Village.

Common questions about aluminum roofing in Flower Mound
Is aluminum better than steel for Flower Mound 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 Flower Mound?
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 Flower Mound?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 34 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 7 miles of Flower Mound, including 15 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 14 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 1.25-inch hail on April 28, 2026.

The median home in Flower Mound was built in 1997, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 5% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 21% were built in 2010 or later. Many homes here are reaching the age when original roofs come due.
