Aluminum roofing is the corrosion-proof member of the metal family, lighter than steel and immune to rust, with trade-offs Frisco homeowners should weigh honestly.
Aluminum never rusts, weighs less than steel, and forms cleanly around complex roof shapes, which is why it earns a place on certain Frisco homes and details. The honest counterweights: it is softer than steel, so cosmetic hail denting is more likely, and it typically costs more per square than galvalume steel. Inland, steel usually wins on value.
We install and service aluminum roofing in Frisco with free written estimates and inspections recorded in photos. We never waive a deductible, since Texas law prohibits it, and we are not a public adjuster. What you get from us is an honest read on whether aluminum or steel fits your roof and budget.
Aluminum Versus Frisco Hail
Denting is the real question for aluminum in Frisco. Since 2006, hail an inch or larger has fallen on 47 days within 8 miles of the city, and golf-ball size or larger on 22 of them. The largest reported stone was 4.5 inches on March 24, 2019. A softer metal will show marks from storms like those sooner than steel, even when the weather seal holds.
Where aluminum makes sense is on complex shapes and specific details, and on homes whose owners accept cosmetic dents in exchange for a panel that will never rust. With a median build year of 2009 across Frisco’s housing, many owners are choosing a first replacement roof and can weigh that trade fresh. Frisco is in Collin County, and our crews also cover Little Elm and The Colony.

Frisco is young by roofing standards: the median home was built in 2009, and 47% of its 80,353 housing units date to 2010 or later. Many of those homes still have the roof the builder installed, now working through its first hail seasons.

Common questions about aluminum roofing in Frisco
Is aluminum better than steel for Frisco 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 Frisco?
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 Frisco?
NOAA's Storm Events Database lists 47 days since 2006 with hail one inch or larger reported within 8 miles of Frisco, including 22 days with golf ball size stones or bigger. Hail that size was reported in 15 of the last 20 years. The most recent report was 2-inch hail on June 2, 2026.
How old are most homes in Frisco?
The median home in Frisco was built in 2009, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey. 2% of the city's housing units predate 1980 and 47% were built in 2010 or later. Many homes here still have their original builder-installed roof.
