Granger is a small farming town northeast of Taylor near Granger Lake, with older homes on the town grid, farm properties on the county roads, and a lot of metal roofing.
Granger is Blackland Prairie farm country. The town itself has a few blocks of homes from the early 1900s through the 1970s, many with steep pitches and original decking, and a good share of them under metal, some of it old tin and some exposed-fastener R-panel that has reached the end of its screws. Outside town, along Highway 95 and the county roads toward Granger Lake, it is farmhouses, shops, barns and equipment sheds, and metal is the default roof.
The weather here is completely exposed. There is nothing between Granger and a storm coming across the prairie, so straight-line wind and hail hit at full strength, and metal roofs show it as dented panels, lifted ridge caps and fasteners that have worked loose. Clay soil moves foundations and opens flashing on the older homes.

Roof replacement, shingles, metal and inspections
New roofs installed to the manufacturer spec, not the builder spec, with the underlayment, flashing and ventilation that make a roof last in Central Texas heat and hail.
Granger replacements are often metal-to-metal: taking off worn tin or R-panel and installing new standing seam or R-panel over high-temperature underlayment with new flashing. On the older shingle homes in town it means removing old layers, replacing soft decking, and putting on a roof that fits the house.
Shingle roofing in Granger is often replacing a worn roof on an older home in town, with decking repair, proper underlayment, and a Class 4 shingle because there is nothing between Granger and the hail.
Metal is the roof in Granger. We install standing seam on homes, R-panel on shops, barns and sheds, and replace worn exposed-fastener roofs on both. Farm properties along Highway 95 and toward the lake are a regular part of our work.
Free inspections around Granger often cover more than one building. We walk the house, the shop and the barn, check fasteners, seams, flashing and decking, and give you a photo report with what needs attention on each.
The most common Granger repair is a re-screw: replacing backed-out fasteners and cracked washers across an exposed-fastener metal roof before it starts leaking everywhere at once. Chimney flashing on older homes and wind-lifted ridge caps are the other regulars.
Granger leaks are wind leaks on old shingle roofs and rusted fasteners on old metal. We trace from the attic, replace what let go, and tell you honestly whether the roof has years left.
Storms cross Granger with nothing in the way, and metal shows hail as dents and shingles show it as bruising. We document the damage for your carrier, tarp any active leak, and repair or replace to the approved scope.
Wind damage in Granger is the whole story: shingles gone from exposed slopes, ridge caps lifted, and panels and laps lifted on metal barns and shops. We repair, re-fasten and document it building by building.
Granger emergencies are wind and hail with nothing in the way: ridge caps and panels lifted on metal, shingles gone on the older homes, a barn roof opened up. We secure what is open, stop the water, document it for your carrier, and repair on a written price.
Granger sits on the open prairie and takes hail and wind full force. We document honestly, meet the adjuster, and handle metal roof claims where cosmetic dent exclusions come into play.
Commercial metal roofing in Granger is ag: grain, equipment and livestock buildings, plus shops in town. We replace fasteners and panels, reseal laps, and install new R-panel roofs.
We look, photograph and explain before anything is sold.

FAQ
Granger Roofing FAQs
Do you replace metal roofs on barns and shops?
Yes. R-panel replacement on outbuildings is common work for us around Granger, and we can do the house on the same trip.
Is it worth repairing an old metal roof or should I replace it?
It depends on the panels. If the metal is sound and only the fasteners have failed, a re-screw with new washers can add years. If the panels are rusted through or the seams have opened, replacement is the honest answer.
