Wise County · Chico, Texas
Chico Roofing for Town Homes, Rentals and Ranch Buildings
Chico once billed itself as the oil capital of Wise County, and many of its homes date from those oil and quarry years. Texas Metal Panels serves Chico homeowners, landlords and ranch owners with standing seam and exposed-fastener metal, Class 4 architectural shingles, siding, seamless gutters, windows and soffit and fascia. We work in town along SH 101 and FM 1810 and on acreage across northwestern Wise County, and we line up longer trips so the house, the rental and the barn can be handled together.

Built Around the Homes of Chico
Downtown Chico and nearby streets hold older frame and brick homes from the town’s oil and quarry era, with a sizable share of rentals, while ranch acreage along FM 1810 adds barns, shops and equipment sheds. Older homes typically show worn or patched shingles, deteriorated flashing around chimneys and vents, and fascia damaged by overflowing gutters. Rentals often have had minimal maintenance between tenants. On outbuildings, exposed-fastener panels lose their seals and rust at laps. Class 4 shingles or metal suit the houses, while re-screwed or replaced panels keep barns and sheds serviceable.
We serve downtown Chico, the SH 101 corridor and FM 1810 ranchland, plus homes near the crushed-stone quarries and acreage toward Lake Bridgeport to the southwest.
Hail and Storm Risk in Chico
Wise County’s hail season peaks in April; the county logged 16 hail reports in 2026 by late May, and the April 25, 2026 EF-2 tornado struck Runaway Bay about 10 miles south of Chico. Older roofs and aging barn panels are the most vulnerable. We install UL 2218 Class 4 roofing and wind-rated metal, explain that impact-resistant credits vary by carrier, and inspect houses and outbuildings after storms so you can decide on a claim with documentation.
- Roofing independently tested for impact resistance (UL 2218 Class 4), with its limits explained honestly
- Storm-damage inspections that separate real damage from wear
- A written, all-inclusive scope before any work begins

Exterior Services We Provide in Chico
Chico work blends older-home repair with ranch roofing: flashing and fascia replacement, Class 4 or metal roofs on houses and rentals, and screw-down metal on barns, shops and equipment sheds. Seamless gutters with well-placed downspouts keep water away from older foundations and out of outbuilding doorways, and landlords get photos and simple scopes for each property.

Seamless Gutters
Seamless 5- and 6-inch gutters and guards sized for North Texas downpours, moving water away from foundations on expansive clay soil.

HOA Approval and Permits in Chico
Chico is largely HOA-free, so most owners pick roofing and siding without association review, though rural tracts may have deed restrictions. Where an HOA does exist, Texas Property Code §202.011 generally prevents it from prohibiting impact-resistant or energy-efficient shingles that resemble and match approved materials. We pull the City of Chico permit where required and confirm county rules for ranch properties outside town.

Frequently Asked Questions in Chico
How thorough is a Chico roof inspection?
We check shingles or panels, flashing at chimneys, vents and walls, ridge and valley condition, gutters and downspouts, and the decking and ventilation from the attic when accessible. We also look at barns and shops if you ask. You get photos and a plain summary of what needs attention now and what can wait.
Can you fix a leaking chimney or vent on a Chico home?
Yes. Most leaks around chimneys and plumbing vents come from failed flashing or cracked rubber boots rather than the shingles themselves. We replace step and counter flashing, install new vent boots and seal properly. If the roof is near the end of its life, we explain whether a repair or full replacement is the better value.
Is exposed-fastener metal acceptable on a Chico house?
It is a common, budget-friendly choice on Texas homes. Exposed-fastener panels cost less than standing seam, but their screws and washers need checking and replacement roughly every 10 to 15 years. Standing seam hides the fasteners and lasts longer with less upkeep. We price both so you can compare long-term cost.
Do you offer free estimates in Chico?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation in-home estimates throughout Chico and the rest of Wise County. A specialist inspects your roof or exterior, takes measurements and photos, and gives you a written, all-inclusive price, usually during the same visit.
