Metal roofing has come a long way from the old barn roof look. Today's metal roofs come in styles that fit right in on a suburban home, and more Texas homeowners are choosing them every year. If you are thinking about metal for your home, here is what you should know.
Serving Missouri City, Sugar Land, and Stafford, we install metal roofs across Fort Bend County that are built for Texas heat, hail, and wind.
Why Texas Homeowners Choose Metal
It handles our weather. Metal stands up to hail, high winds, and driving rain better than just about anything else you can put on a roof. Around here, that matters.
It beats the heat. Metal reflects solar heat instead of soaking it in like some other materials. Your attic stays cooler, which your air conditioner will appreciate during a Texas summer.
It lasts. Metal roofs are known for long service life, far longer than a standard shingle roof. If you plan on staying in your home for many years, metal can be a smart long-term choice.
It is low maintenance. No curling, no cracking, no algae streaks. An occasional inspection is about all it asks for.
Metal Roofing Styles
Standing seam. Clean vertical lines with raised seams. This is the most popular choice for homes. Sleek, modern, and excellent at shedding water.
Metal shingles. Made to look like traditional shingles, slate, or tile, but with the toughness of metal. A good fit if you want the metal benefits without changing the look of your home.
We will walk you through the options and help you pick what fits your house, your budget, and your taste.
Is Metal Right for Your Home?
Honest answer: metal costs more upfront than shingles. There is no getting around that. What you get for it is a tougher roof, a longer service life, and less maintenance over the years.
Metal makes the most sense if you plan to stay in your home a long time, if your roof takes a beating from storms, or if you just want the last roof you will have to think about for a very long while. If you are selling in two years, shingles are probably the smarter money. We will tell you straight which one fits your situation.

Metal Roof Repair
Already have a metal roof with a problem? Loose panels, leaking fasteners, damaged flashing? We repair those too, and our repair work is covered for 2 years.
Metal Roofs and Gulf Coast Storms
Living on the Gulf Coast means your roof has to handle more than sunshine. Metal holds up well against hail, and metal panels nd their fasteners are designed to resist wind uplift when a big storm rolls through. That is why many homeowners in Fort Bend ounty pick metal after their old roof has already been through one storm too many.
Every metal roof we install carries our 10-year labor warranty. If anything about our workmanship fails, we come back and make it right at no cost to you. Read exactly what is covered on our roof warranty page.

Metal Roofing Questions
How long does a metal roof last?
A metal roof lasts 40 to 70 years in Texas with proper installation, often two to three times longer than asphalt shingles.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
Not really. The decking, underlayment, and attic insulation deaden the sound to about the level of a shingle roof.
Will my HOA approve a metal roof?
Many Fort Bend County HOAs approve metal roofs in neutral colors. Check your HOA guidelines first, and we can provide samples and documentation.
Do you offer metal roof inspections?
Yes. Our roof inspections are free, and we take photos so you can see exactly what we see. If your metal roof is in good shape, we will tell you that too.
