What Is a Metal Roof?

A metal roof is a durable, long-lasting roofing system made from panels of steel, aluminum, or copper. These panels can be installed in styles like standing seam, corrugated, or shingle-style metal, depending on your aesthetic preferences. Some systems feature an insulated core to enhance energy efficiency and structural performance.

Unlike traditional roofing materials, metal roofs are engineered to handle extreme weather, resist fire, and reflect solar heat—making them an ideal solution for Texas homes.

Benefits of Metal Roofing

1. Long-Term Durability

Metal roofs last 40–70 years—two to three times longer than asphalt shingles. They're built to resist cracking, shrinking, and erosion, making them perfect for Texas climates that experience high winds, hail, and harsh UV exposure.

2. Fire Resistance

Metal roofs are non-combustible and carry top-tier fire safety ratings. Unlike asphalt or wood, they won't ignite during wildfires or lightning strikes.

3. Eco-Friendly

Made from recyclable materials, metal roofing supports sustainable construction. Old panels, tear-offs, and scraps can be repurposed, reducing environmental impact.

4. Energy Efficiency

Metal reflects solar heat, helping to reduce your cooling costs by up to 30%. Some metal roofs even qualify for energy efficiency tax credits.

5. Low Maintenance

Say goodbye to frequent repairs. Metal roofs require less upkeep than tile, asphalt, or wood, saving you time and money over the long haul.

6. Lightweight and Strong

Metal is significantly lighter than tile or concrete, reducing strain on your home’s structure. Despite being lightweight, metal roofing excels at withstanding wind, hail, and heavy storms.

7. Boosts Property Value

Metal roofing adds resale value by enhancing curb appeal and offering peace of mind for future buyers. It's a feature that pays for itself.

With rising energy costs, more frequent storms, and growing interest in sustainable materials, metal roofing is a clear choice for future-ready homes. It not only holds up under pressure—it looks good doing it.

Metal roofs also install faster than tile or slate and come in a wide range of finishes, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for performance.
