BENEFITS OF METAL ROOFING

DURABLE

ENERGY EFFICIENT

COST EFFECTIVE

Metal roofs can withstand the impact of hail much better than traditional asphalt shingles. This enhanced durability can translate into savings on insurance premiums. Many insurers in Austin offer reduced rates for homes with metal roofing.

Metal roofs are known for their excellent energy efficiency. The metal panels reflect solar radiant heat, rather than absorbing it, which helps keep buildings cooler during the Texas summers. Some colors offer exceptional SRI values.

Standing seam metal roofing is a cost-effective long-term option. With a lifespan of 30 plus years, it far outlasts traditional roofing materials, reducing the need for costly replacements. Although the intial installation cost may be higher, the long-term savings in maintenance, energy, and durability, make it smart investment for Texas homeowners.

COST FACTORS

  • Type Of Metal

    Not all metal is created equal. Some manufacturers offer finishes that greatly increase the aesthetic value of the roof. Ask about premium color options and finishes.

  • Flashings

    All metal roof flashings need to be staggered in order to maintain watertightness. If the existing siding material needs to be changed, additional costs will be incurred.

  • Underlayment

    Underlayment selections matter. Lower sloped roofs (less than 3/12) require specialized peel & stick membranes that can resist the heat of a metal roof in theTexas summer.

  • Access

    Steeper roofs require specialized safety devices and protocols during installation. Two story and higher roofs also come with a unique set of issues and risk.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS?

Roofing a home with a standing seam metal roof involves a systematic process to ensure longevity & performance:

  • Cover yard with tarps to protect plants

  • Remove the existing material

  • Inspect the underlying deck for any damage

  • Install new underlayment

  • Measure & cut panels to fit

  • Install using a concealed fastener system

  • Install custom fabricated trim pieces

  • Clean property & haul off debris

When Picking A Contractor

Metal roofing requires installation by a qualified contractor, because the precision and expertise involved in installing the panels is crucial to ensuring the roof's integrity and performance.

Proper installation affects everything from the roof's durability to its ability to prevent leaks. Additionally, opting for lower-priced, poor-quality roofing services often leads to subpar materials and workmanship, which can result in costly repairs and shorter roof lifespan.

Investing in a reputable contractor ensures that the roofing is done right the first time.
