Metal Roofing in Leander
Standing-seam and metal panel roofs built to shed Texas hail and last for decades, installed from our Leander shop and out across TX, every job backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.
A metal roof you put on once
Most homeowners who call us about metal are tired of patching the same shingle roof every few years. A standing-seam metal roof solves that. The panels run unbroken from ridge to eave, the fasteners are hidden under the seam where weather cannot reach them, and a good install holds for forty to fifty years instead of fifteen.
We install standing seam and exposed-fastener metal panel systems on homes, ranch buildings and light commercial across TX. We do it the right way instead of trying to make a quick nickel, which on a metal roof means proper underlayment, correct clip spacing for thermal movement, and clean flashing at every valley, chimney and wall. Cut those corners and a metal roof oil-cans, rattles in the wind, or leaks at the penetrations within a couple of seasons.

How we install a metal roof
We measure and get on the roof first
Before any number, we walk the roof and the attic. Pitch, deck condition, ventilation and the existing flashing all change how a metal system goes on. You get a straight read on what the roof needs, with photos, not a sales pitch.
Tear-off, deck repair and underlayment
We strip the old roof, replace any rotted or soft decking, and lay a high-temp synthetic underlayment under the metal. The deck is the part you never see again once the panels go down, so this is where doing it right actually matters.
Panels, clips and hidden fasteners
Standing-seam panels are set with clips that let the metal expand and contract through Texas heat without buckling. The fasteners sit under the seam, out of the weather. We detail every valley, ridge, sidewall and pipe collar so water has nowhere to sneak in.
Ventilation, cleanup and the warranty
We finish the attic ventilation to our Lomanco-certified design so the roof breathes, sweep the property with a magnet for stray fasteners, and hand you the lifetime workmanship warranty plus six years of annual weatherproofing.
Standing seam vs. metal panel, and which fits your home
The two metal systems we install most are standing seam and exposed-fastener metal panel, and they suit different jobs. Standing seam is the premium residential choice: the raised vertical seams lock the panels together with no screws showing on the surface, so there is nothing for sun and weather to chew on over the years. It is the system we put on the brick and stone homes around Leander and the Hill Country where the roof is part of how the house looks from the street. It costs more up front, and it earns that back by lasting decades with almost nothing to maintain.
Exposed-fastener panel, sometimes called R-panel or ag-panel, screws straight down through the metal into the deck. It goes on faster and costs less, which makes it the right answer for shops, barns, ranch outbuildings and budget-conscious roofs where the look matters less than the price and the protection. The trade-off is the gaskets under those screws: they are the part that ages, so an exposed-fastener roof wants a look every few years to catch any backing-out fasteners before they weep. We are honest about that when we quote it, because pretending a cheaper system is maintenance-free is exactly the quick-nickel move we built this company to avoid.

Plenox SolutionsColor and gauge matter too. A lighter Kynar-finish color reflects Texas heat and takes load off the attic, which pairs with good ventilation to keep the whole roof cooler and longer-lived. A heavier-gauge panel resists hail dents better, and in a hail-prone market like Central TX that is worth talking through. When you call, we bring color chips and we tell you which gauge actually makes sense for where you live, not just the one with the fattest margin. If a storm has already hit your metal roof, our metal roof repair crew handles panel replacement and leak work without a full tear-off, and our hail damage team documents the dents for your insurance claim.
Built right, then stood behind
A metal roof is a long bet, so the people who install it should still be standing behind it years later. Our crew is licensed, insured and OSHA-certified, which means the work happens safely and to code, not in a hurry by whoever was available. The attic ventilation on every metal roof we build follows our Lomanco-certified design, because a metal roof over a baking attic still fails early, just slower than shingles do.
Every metal install carries a lifetime workmanship warranty, so the quality of our installation is covered for as long as you own the roof. On top of that we include six years of weatherproofing done annually, where we come back, check the seams, sealant and penetrations, and seal anything that has moved before it can leak. That is how a relationship lasts longer than the install, and it is the part of the job most roofers skip the moment the check clears.
Metal roofing questions
Straight answers about cost, hail, noise and warranty. If yours is not here, call (432) 288-5562 or send it through our contact page.
How long does a metal roof last?
A properly installed standing-seam metal roof commonly lasts forty to fifty years, two to three times the life of a typical asphalt shingle roof. The metal itself outlasts the fasteners and sealant, which is why our six years of included annual weatherproofing matters: we keep the small stuff sealed so the panels reach their full life.
Is a metal roof worth the higher cost?
Up front a metal roof costs more than shingles. Over its life it usually costs less, because you are not re-roofing every fifteen years and the maintenance is light. In a hail market like Central TX it can also help with insurance and resale. We will give you the real numbers for your home so you can decide, not a one-size answer.
Will a metal roof be loud when it rains or hails?
No, not when it is installed over solid decking with proper underlayment the way we build them. The myth comes from barn-style metal nailed straight onto open purlins. A residential standing-seam roof on a decked, vented attic is no louder inside than a shingle roof.
Can metal roofing handle Texas hail?
Metal handles hail well, especially in a heavier gauge. Large hail can leave cosmetic dents on lighter panels without causing a leak, while standing-seam systems generally protect the structure better than shingles do. When you call we will talk through the gauge that makes sense for where you live and your hail risk.
Do you repair existing metal roofs or only install new ones?
Both. We install new standing-seam and panel roofs, and our metal roof repair crew fixes leaks, replaces damaged panels and re-secures backed-out fasteners on roofs other companies put on. We will tell you honestly whether a repair will hold or whether the roof has earned a replacement.
