There is no state where metal roofing is more popular than Texas. Western States Metal Roofing has proudly served the Dallas region for years by delivering quality metal roofing and siding products to the area.

The metal roofing supplier that you work with is one of those key parts which is why choosing the right metal supplier is so important.

Homes or buildings with a steep slope roof have the opportunity to design a roofing system that is the showpiece of their property since it’s on full display.

However, that doesn’t mean the type of roof you choose for a low slope isn’t important. 

Farmhouses have become one of the most popular architectural styles of today. There are several features that have become synonymous with farmhouse architecture: white paint, simple landscaping, a wraparound porch, and of course, a metal roof.
