Metal Roofing in San Antonio Built for South Texas Sun, Wind and Hail Season

Metal roofs are everywhere in South Texas, from ranch houses outside Devine and Hondo to brick homes in San Antonio, and they fit the climate well. A metal roof reflects a good part of the sun's heat instead of soaking it up like dark shingles, which can help keep the attic cooler through a long Texas summer. It also sheds the heavy, short bursts of rain we get without holding water.

We install two main systems. Standing seam has raised seams and concealed fasteners, for a clean, modern look and fewer exposed screws to maintain. R-panel is an exposed-fastener panel that costs less and is very common on country homes, barns and shops. Both go on over proper underlayment, with trim, ridge, valleys, flashing at chimneys and pipe boots done carefully, because the details are where a metal roof either stays dry or starts to leak.

Our photos show metal roofs in silver galvalume, charcoal, red, terracotta, bronze and blue, so you can pick a color that fits your home. South Texas also sees strong spring winds and hail storms; a well-fastened metal roof holds up to wind, and heavy hail can still dent panels, so we talk honestly about what to expect.
