Our Metal Roofing Process

From Consultation to Completion – We Handle Every Step

We guide you through the entire metal roofing journey, from material selection to final inspection. Our certified crews ensure a seamless installation with manufacturer-backed warranties.

  1. Free Consultation & Inspection – We visit your home, inspect your current roof, and discuss your goals. We take measurements and check for any underlying issues. You receive a detailed estimate with GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed metal options.
  2. Material Selection & Ordering – We help you choose the right metal profile (standing seam, screw-down, or stone-coated steel) and color. We handle ordering from our trusted suppliers to ensure factory-direct pricing and warranty coverage.
  3. Permitting & Scheduling – Our team obtains all necessary permits from your Houston-area municipality. We coordinate a start date that fits your schedule, typically within 2–3 weeks.
  4. Pre-Installation Prep – We protect your landscaping, set up safety equipment, and remove the old roofing material. We inspect the decking and replace any damaged sections to ensure a solid foundation.
  5. Underlayment & Flashing Installation – We install synthetic underlayment (e.g., GAF Deck-Armor) for superior leak protection. All valleys, eaves, ridges, and penetrations are flashed with durable metal flashing by our factory-certified installers.
  6. Metal Panel Installation – Our crew installs the metal panels according to manufacturer specifications. We use hidden fasteners for standing seam to maximize weather tightness. Every seam is sealed and inspected.
  7. Final Inspection & Cleanup – We walk the roof with you, check all flashings and trim, and ensure proper drainage. Our crew performs a magnetic sweep and removes all debris. You receive a final warranty package and maintenance tips.

Real Job, Real Results

Katy Homeowner Gets 50-Year Standing Seam Metal Roof After Hail

After a 2024 hailstorm damaged their aging shingles, a Katy family on Cinco Ranch Blvd called us. We handled everything — inspection, adjuster coordination, and installation.

Location: Cinco Ranch, Katy TX 77494 Year: 2024 Materials: 24-gauge Galvalume standing seam panels, closed-cell spray foam deck seal Scope: Full tear-off of 22-square 3-tab shingle roof, substrate inspection, and standing seam metal installation

The homeowners had filed an insurance claim but their adjuster initially scoped only partial replacement. We documented 47 impact strikes across 14 squares using our hail mapping protocol and submitted a supplemental estimate directly to the carrier.

The claim was approved for full replacement within 11 days.

We installed 24-gauge Galvalume standing seam panels with a 50-year paint warranty. Attic ventilation was upgraded at the ridge to prevent the heat buildup common in Katy's humid summers. The crew completed the job in two days.

Outcome: Insurance covered $18,400 of the $21,200 total. The homeowners' out-of-pocket cost was their $2,800 deductible. The new roof carries a lifetime structural warranty and qualifies for a homeowner's insurance discount.

Common Questions

Metal Roofing in Houston — Your Questions Answered

We've been installing metal roofs across Houston since 2010. Here's what homeowners ask us most before committing to metal.

How long have you been installing metal roofing in Houston?

We've been roofing Houston since 2010 — that's 16 years of standing seam, corrugated, and custom metal installations. We're Texas licensed #RCAT-19274 and have handled everything from inner-loop townhomes to Katy acreage.

What types of metal roofing do you offer?

We install standing seam (both concealed fastener and exposed fastener), stone-coated steel, and corrugated panels. We source from top manufacturers like Berridge and McElroy, and stock 24- and 26-gauge steel, plus aluminum for coastal corrosion resistance.

Is metal roofing more expensive than asphalt shingles?

Upfront, yes — expect to pay 2–3 times more than GAF Timberline shingles. But a Houston metal roof lasts 40–70 years vs. 20–30 for asphalt. You'll save on insurance discounts, no future tear-offs, and lower energy bills (our textured standing seam cuts summer attic heat by up to 25%).

How long does a metal roof last in Houston's climate?

With proper installation — which we do with concealed fasteners and waterproof underlayment — a steel standing seam roof easily lasts 50+ years. We've seen our own installs from 2010 still looking new after Harvey's 130 mph gusts and every hail season since.

Do you handle insurance claims for metal roof replacements?

Absolutely. We document damage with photos and detailed scopes, then coordinate directly with your adjuster. Many of our metal roof jobs start as storm claims — we help you get every dollar you're owed under your policy, then install a roof that's hail- and wind-resistant up to 140 mph.

What warranties do you offer on metal roofs?

We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on every metal roof we install. Plus, our manufacturer warranties cover material defects for 30–50 years depending on the panel and finish. As a GAF Master Elite® Certified contractor (yes, even for metal), you get the strongest backing in the industry.

Can you install a metal roof over an existing shingle roof?

In some cases, yes — we can install a standing seam system over a single layer of asphalt shingles if the deck and structure are sound. But we always recommend a full tear-off to inspect for rot and ensure the metal fasteners bite into solid wood. We'll be honest about what's best for your home.
