Metal Roofing & Sustainability
When choosing a new roof, environmental impact is an increasingly important consideration. Metal roofing stands out as one of the most sustainable roofing options available today:
Recycled Content
Most metal roofing contains at least 25% recycled content, significantly reducing the environmental footprint compared to petroleum-based roofing products.
100% Recyclability
At the end of its long service life, metal roofing is 100% recyclable, preventing landfill waste and allowing the material to be reused in new products.
Energy Conservation
Reflective properties reduce heat island effect and lower cooling demands, potentially saving thousands of kilowatt-hours over the roof's lifespan.
Rainwater Collection Compatibility
Metal roofing is ideal for clean rainwater collection systems, an increasingly important consideration in water-conscious regions.
Solar Panel Integration
Metal roofs provide ideal platforms and greater ease of attachment for solar panel installation, supporting renewable energy adoption.
Reduced Replacement Waste
With a lifespan 4-5 times longer than conventional roofing, metal roofs significantly reduce the waste generated by frequent roof replacements.

How long do metal roofs last in Central Texas?
Quality metal roofing systems in Central Texas typically last for many decades with proper installation and minimal maintenance. Standing seam and stone coated steel systems, as well as other metal options often provide 60-75 years of service—approximately 5 times longer than traditional asphalt shingles. The exceptional longevity is a key factor in the overall value proposition despite the higher initial investment.
Are metal roofs noisy during rain and hailstorms?
This is a common misconception. Properly installed modern metal roofing with solid decking, underlayment, and insulation is no louder than other roofing materials during rainfall. The solid roof deck and attic space provide significant sound buffering. Some homeowners actually prefer the subtle ambient sound of light rain on their metal roof. During extreme weather like hail, metal roofs may be somewhat louder than other materials, but not to the disruptive extent often imagined.
How do metal roofs perform in severe weather and hailstorms?
Metal roofing excels in severe weather conditions common to Central Texas. Quality systems are rated for wind resistance up to 140+ mph, significantly higher than conventional roofing. While extremely large hail can cause cosmetic denting in some metal roofing, the structural integrity and water-shedding capabilities typically remain intact—unlike asphalt shingles which can lose granules and protective capacity. Many metal roofing systems carry Class 4 impact resistance ratings, the highest available.
What is the cost difference between metal roofing and traditional asphalt shingles?
Metal roofing typically costs 2-3 times more than standard asphalt shingles for initial installation, with standing seam and stone coated steel systems at the higher end and R panel and corrugated panels somewhat less. However, when considering the total lifecycle cost, metal roofing often proves more economical. A single metal roof can outlast 5 complete asphalt shingle replacements in Texas, offers energy savings throughout its lifespan, may qualify for insurance discounts, and can increase resale value—factors that offset the higher initial investment.
Can a metal roof be installed over my existing roof?
In many cases, yes, metal roofing can be installed over existing asphalt shingles, eliminating the time, expense, and landfill waste of tear-off. However, this depends on several factors including local building codes, the condition of the existing roof, and the type of metal roofing system being installed. We conduct a thorough assessment to determine if overlay installation is appropriate or if removal of the existing roofing is necessary for optimal results. Standing seam systems typically require tear-off, while some metal shingle systems are designed specifically for overlay applications.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter in summer?
Contrary to this common concern, quality metal roofing with reflective finishes actually helps keep homes cooler in hot weather. Metal roofs reflect solar radiation rather than absorbing it like darker asphalt shingles. Combined with proper ventilation and insulation, this reflective quality can reduce cooling costs by 10-25% during hot Texas summers. For maximum energy efficiency, lighter colors and specifically designed "cool roof" finishes offer the best heat reflection, though even darker metal roofs outperform asphalt shingles in energy efficiency.
