residential metal roofing when considering an investment for your home in Texas and every place we operate, residential metal roofing is one of the most solid. We install standing seam or metal shingle roofs that generally outshine asphalt for about 30 to 40 years longer, survive hail with fewer damages and reduce your cooling costs with a Kynar reflective finish. Across five Texas metroplex markets, our residential metal roofing crews install roofs that are backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty and can be passed along with the house to any new owner.
Why Partner with Pro Exteriors for Residential Metal Roofing?
Metal roofing isn’t simply a product. The difference between a roof that’ll perform well for 50 years and a roof that needs repairs within 8 years lies entirely within the finer details: how close the clips are set, whether the panel includes an adequate allowance for expansion, the specifics of penetrations flashing and how ridge cap looks.
Each of our metal roof crews is specifically trained for metal installation and doesn’t get additional instruction as a special add - on option for our primarily asphalt roof - oriented company. These specialized crews result in a lower defect rate on roofs inspected soon after installation compared to industry averages.
We get our panels and shingles from reliable manufacturers that we know by name: McElroy Metal supplies all of our standing seam profiles, while we go with Atlas for all of our metal shingles. We use CertainTeed where their product lines align best with specific project requirements.
These selections don’t come from an online ordering site, they come from extensive testing of their product lines in actual residential metal roofing projects that we have completed for our customers. We simply stop using a product if it doesn’t hold up over time and standardize on it if it does.
At Pro Exteriors, one project contact handles your entire residential metal roofing job from initial quote to final walkaround. We don’t toss you between our sales teams and installation crews, who never communicate with one another.
We hire only estimators who have personally measured your roof and also review the plan for installation with your job foreman. Having this level of continuity between two sets of hands prevents misunderstandings and the callbacks associated with most other roofers’ processes.
What Goes into a Residential Metal Roof Installation?
Installation of a metal residential roof is a multistage process that kicks off long before we ever pick up a panel to install. The exact details vary slightly depending on whether we’re re - roofing an existing system over the deck, tearing off an existing asphalt system to prepare for a metal system or working on new construction.
The costs of materials, labor and timeline will be slightly different in each of these scenarios.
The first step in any metal roof project is decking evaluation. Metal requires a smooth, flat substrate upon which to install. This means that any weak areas in the decking, delaminated OSB or improperly spaced sheathing must be addressed and repaired before we ever touch a nail gun.
This is a crucial step for preventing issues later on and something we never skimp on to try to land a lower bid. If the deck needs repair, we clearly define that requirement, present an accurate quote for the work and get your explicit sign - off to move forward.
Unlike with asphalt roofs, underlayment selection is of much greater importance with metal roofs. We’ll spec synthetic high - temperature underlayment products rated for the higher temperatures metal roofs reach under direct Texas sun.
Using standard felt isn’t an option for these jobs and we do not use it for residential metal roofing. The underlayment works additionally as an extra moisture barrier in any locations where the roof is penetrated and where it meets the edges of the eaves. Depending on your home, your underlayment may vary from just one layer all the way up to three layers!
Choosing the right profile between standing seam metal panels or metal shingles influences both the visual aesthetics and the roofing’s performance. With standing seam roofing, hidden fasteners ensure that the screws are contained entirely within the seam formed between adjacent panels, leading to far superior protection against wind and water damage.
This profile is also generally better suited to lower - slope residential roofs. Exposed - fastener metal shingles work nicely on steeper pitches, where they appear more traditional and have a better feel in older neighborhoods that retain their original architectural character.
We carry physical samples of both McElroy Metal and Atlas’s metal products so that you can take them home to see how each will best integrate with your home’s particular style before making the final selection. Flashing and trim are the primary source of metal roof failures in other businesses that attempt installation, in our business, it’s one part where we never fail to excel.
Correct valley flashing, valley crickets, standard roof pipe flashing boot and drip edge can make a huge difference, requiring a high degree of precision craftsmanship and careful staging during installation. In cases where a standard trim piece can’t be cut to the contours of your specific home or roof, our experienced crews will create custom trim on - site to guarantee a tight, weather - resistant fit.
No guesswork, no compromises, just good craftsmanship. At the conclusion of the project, your final inspection will be fully documented with a detailed set of photos of penetrations, all seams and your ridge work. The photo document package is an excellent resource for initiating an insurance claim if you ever need to do so and it gives you a record of exactly how your roof looked when we completed the installation.
