Standing-Seam Metal Roofing
from $18,50024-gauge panels, concealed fasteners, class 4 rated
Standing seam is a different animal from the screw-down barn metal you see on outbuildings. The panels attach with concealed clips — no exposed fasteners drilled through the surface — so the metal can expand and contract through a 40-degree Texas temperature swing without working its screws loose. That one detail is most of why a standing-seam roof runs 50-plus years while screw-down starts weeping at 15.
We roll-form 24-gauge panels to your exact eave-to-ridge lengths, so the field of the roof has no horizontal laps at all. The finish is a Kynar 500® paint system — the same coating on commercial towers — warranted against chalk and fade for decades, over ridge caps, trim, and flashings we bend custom for your roofline.
For insurance purposes, standing seam carries a UL 2218 class 4 impact rating — the highest there is — and most Texas carriers discount premiums for it. We hand you the certification paperwork to send your agent. Hail that would total an asphalt roof typically leaves standing seam with cosmetic dings the street can't see.
Who this is for
Homeowners planning to stay put, hail-weary owners tired of filing claims every few springs, and anyone whose architecture earns a roof you can see from the curb.
Metal Roofing — asked and answered
Doesn't hail dent metal?
Big hail can leave cosmetic dings — the same storm would put functional bruises through asphalt. The difference: dings don't leak, and class 4 metal keeps its integrity. Some owners add cosmetic-damage coverage; we'll walk you through that choice honestly.
How much more than asphalt is it, really?
Roughly 2 to 2.5 times a comparable asphalt replacement up front. Over 50 years it's usually cheaper — you skip one full asphalt replacement, bank an insurance discount every year, and knock a real percentage off summer cooling loads.
Is a metal roof loud in the rain?
That's tin-on-open-rafters barn memory. Over solid decking and underlayment, a standing-seam roof measures within a couple decibels of asphalt in rain. Your attic insulation does the rest.
