About Architectural Metal Panels: A Metal Roofing Company in Forney, TX

Who is Architectural Metal Panels?

Architectural Metal Panels began in New Jersey as a fabrication-first metal company. For more than ten years we formed and installed standing seam metal roofing, aluminum composite panels and custom sheet metal on homes and commercial buildings across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, most of it won by referral from one finished building to the next.

In 2026 the whole company moved to Texas. Not a branch office: the roll formers, brakes and shears, and the crews who run them, relocated to 107 Industrial Dr in Forney, on the east side of Dallas-Fort Worth. We chose North Texas because it is one of the fastest-growing metal roofing markets in the country, and for a plain reason. Hail Alley wears out shingle roofs, and owners here are ready for a roof they buy once.

The owner has spent 26+ years in metal roofing. That experience shows in details most people never see: clip spacing that lets a panel move through a 100-degree afternoon and a January freeze, flashing bent to the wall rather than caulked to it, and coping that sheds water toward the roof side of a parapet. We are a small company. The person who measures your roof is responsible for the finished job, and our address is one you can drive to.

How do we work?

Five steps, in the same order on a porch roof and on a 20,000-square-foot wall panel job: measure, draw, fabricate, install, warranty.

1. Measure. We measure the roof or walls ourselves, photograph every penetration and parapet, and check decking, slope, drainage and attic ventilation. For wall panels we take elevations and note the substrate and openings.
2. Shop drawings. Standing seam and wall panel jobs get a panel layout and trim details before anything is cut, so you can see seam lines, panel widths and where each flashing lands. Commercial jobs get a submittal package for the architect.
3. Fabricate. Panels, coping and flashing are formed in Forney to the drawings, in the gauge and finish on your quote. Large standing seam roofs are roll-formed on site so each panel runs eave to ridge in one piece.
4. Install. Our own crews install over high-temperature underlayment with floating clips and the manufacturer details, pull permits where a city requires them, and finish each day with cleanup and a magnetic sweep for fasteners.
5. Warranty. You receive our transferable lifetime workmanship warranty in writing, the manufacturer finish warranty, and the product labels and installation certificate your insurer may ask for.

What are our credentials?

Texas issues no state roofing license, so the useful checks are insurance, registration and a physical address. Our credentials: Fully Insured. We carry liability coverage and will send certificates of insurance before you sign, register with cities that require contractor registration, such as Dallas and Fort Worth, and pull permits where they are required.
