Metal Roofing Installation & Replacement in Austin, TX
Long-lasting metal roofs engineered for Central Texas heat, hail, and storms
A metal roof is one of the smartest long-term investments you can make for your home. With a lifespan of 40 to 70 years, superior hail resistance, and excellent energy efficiency in the Texas heat, metal roofing outperforms traditional asphalt shingles in nearly every category. Our GAF Master Elite certified crews install standing seam, corrugated, and stone-coated steel systems built to protect your home for decades.
When to Consider Metal Roofing
You want a roof that lasts 50+ years with minimal maintenance
You’re looking to reduce energy costs in the Texas heat
Your home needs maximum hail and wind resistance
You want to increase your home’s resale value and curb appeal
Metal roofing offers the best long-term value for Texas homeowners, and we’ll help you find the right style and finish for your home. Not sure if metal is the right fit? Read our metal vs. asphalt shingles comparison or explore the differences between roofing materials.
Standing seam or exposed fastener: which one for your house?
Most metal roofs on Austin homes use one of two panel types, and the difference matters for leaks over the long run.
Standing seam panels join at raised seams. The fasteners sit underneath, clipped to the deck and covered by the next panel, so nothing that holds the roof down is exposed to sun or rain. The clips also let each panel expand and contract with the daily heat.
Exposed-fastener panels (corrugated or ribbed) are screwed through the face of the panel with rubber-washered screws. They cost less to buy and install, but every screw is a potential leak point, and the washers age in the sun, so these roofs need periodic fastener checks.
Standing seam is the usual specification for a residential re-roof. Exposed-fastener panels are often the practical choice for shops, barns, carports and outbuildings. We also install stone-coated steel, which looks like shingle or tile. Which one suits your home depends on the pitch, the shape of the roof and how long you plan to own it, and that is what the on-site assessment settles.
Metal roof repair, and when a repair is the right answer
Not every metal roof problem needs a new roof. The repairs we see most often on Austin metal roofs are:
- Fasteners that have backed out, or washers that have cracked, on exposed-fastener roofs
- Failed sealant at ridge caps, transitions and trim
- Pipe boots and other penetration flashings that have split
- Individual panels damaged by a fallen limb or foot traffic
A damaged panel can often be replaced on its own, provided the matching profile and finish are still available. Repair stops making sense when leaks are widespread, the panels themselves are corroding, or the decking underneath has rotted.
We photograph what we find and walk you through it, so the repair-or-replace decision is based on the roof in front of us, not a guess from the ground.

What a metal roof costs in Austin
Our Austin roof cost guide puts metal roofing at $18,000 to $30,000+ for most homes, compared with $10,000 to $18,000 for asphalt shingles. We keep one set of figures across the site, so for the full breakdown see what a new roof costs in Austin.
Where your project lands in that range depends on:
- Panel type: standing seam costs more than exposed-fastener panels
- Panel gauge and finish
- The size and pitch of the roof, and how many valleys, hips and penetrations it has
- Whether the old roof has to be torn off, and how many layers
- The condition of the decking underneath
Your written estimate itemises each of these, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Metal in Texas heat and hail
Heat. Metal sheds solar heat quickly, and lighter or reflective finishes reflect more of it, which can help keep attic temperatures down in an Austin summer. The bigger engineering issue in Texas heat is movement: long panels expand and contract every day, which is why clip systems and correct fastening matter as much as the panel itself.
Hail. Hail can dent metal panels. Whether a dent is only cosmetic or affects how the roof sheds water depends on the panel and the size of the hail. Impact ratings vary from product to product, so we tell you the rating of the specific panel we quote rather than a blanket figure. After a storm, we inspect and photograph the roof before any repair conversation.

Can a metal roof withstand Austin hail storms?
Metal holds up well to Central Texas hail. Many metal panels are tested for impact resistance, and some carry a Class 4 rating under UL 2218, the highest class in that test. Ratings vary by product, so we give you the rating of the exact panel we quote. Large hail can still dent metal, and whether a dent affects how the roof sheds water depends on the panel and the hailstone. If your current roof has storm damage, we inspect it and document what we find with dated photos before any claim conversation.
