Considering a Metal Roof for Your Home?

Residential metal roofing comes in a range of colors and styles, including popular options like Standing Seam, Stone-Coated Steel, Corrugated Steel with Exposed Fasteners, and Steel Shingles.

One of the biggest benefits of a metal roof is its longevity—it can last over 50 years with minimal maintenance. Metal roofs are highly durable, standing up well against the intense weather in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including extreme temperatures, high winds, and moderate hail.

So, why doesn’t everyone choose metal roofing? The simple answer is cost. Metal roofs have higher upfront material and installation costs due to the specialized skills required. However, the extended lifespan of metal roofs often balances out the initial expense over time.

The Pros and Cons of Metal Roofing Systems:

Metal Roof Pros:

Exceptional Durability: Metal roofs can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. In North Texas, where asphalt shingles may last only 15–20 years before needing serious repair, metal roofing offers remarkable longevity.
Eco-Friendly Choice: Unlike asphalt shingles, which require significant fossil fuels to produce and often end up in landfills after a short lifespan, metal roofs are typically made with a high percentage of recycled materials. Plus, they are fully recyclable at the end of their life, reducing environmental impact.
Energy Efficiency: Metal roofing reflects solar radiant heat instead of absorbing it, as most asphalt shingles do. Some options also come with special reflective pigments to further boost energy efficiency, keeping your home cooler and reducing energy costs.
Modern, Stylish Appeal: Metal roofing offers a unique, stylish look with a wide range of colors and styles to suit any home’s aesthetic. From sleek, contemporary designs to classic profiles, metal roofs add a distinct character to your home.

Metal Roof Cons:

Higher Cost: Metal roofing is generally three to five times more expensive than asphalt shingle roofing, but many homeowners find the aesthetic appeal and longevity well worth the initial investment.
Susceptible to Dents: While durable, metal roofs can dent from large hail or falling branches. Some metal roofing types can’t be walked on, so it’s essential to check these factors when choosing a style that suits your property.
Insurance Considerations: Many insurers offer discounts for Class 4-rated metal roofs but may require a "cosmetic damage waiver," meaning cosmetic dings from hail might not be covered. While this waiver can reduce premiums, it’s important to weigh it against the potential for uncovered aesthetic damage.

Designing Your New Metal Roofing System

A successful metal roofing system is made up of many components and requires expertise for optimal design and installation. Ensuring your new metal roof is installed by knowledgeable professionals is more critical than selecting a specific brand or style. High-quality materials can’t make up for poor workmanship, and an improperly installed roof may leak or fail prematurely. Our team frequently repairs metal roofs that weren’t installed correctly by others for these very reasons.

Condition of Existing Roof and Underlying Structure
Type of Metal Roof System
Style Options within the Selected System
Color Choices
