Metal roofing has become increasingly popular in Austin for its durability against hail, fire resistance in our drought-prone areas, and energy-saving reflective properties. We specialize in both standing seam and metal shingle systems that complement Central Texas architecture.
For contemporary homes in West Austin hillsides, we install standing seam roofs with concealed fasteners that withstand 120+ mph winds - critical during our severe thunderstorms. Historic districts like Old Enfield benefit from our metal shingle options that mimic traditional materials while providing modern protection. Every installation includes specialized underlayment that prevents condensation - a common concern in our humid climate - and thermal break strips to accommodate metal's expansion in summer heat.
We also retrofit existing roofs with metal when appropriate, often adding rigid insulation during the process to improve energy efficiency. Our crews are trained in all major metal roofing systems and follow manufacturer specifications precisely to maintain warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is metal roofing noisy during rain?
Properly installed with solid decking and insulation, it's no louder than other roofs - we've installed hundreds in quiet neighborhoods like Pemberton Heights with no complaints.
How does metal perform in hail storms?
Our systems withstand 2" hail without damage - a frequent occurrence in Williamson County. Minor dents don't affect performance.
Can metal roofs be installed over existing shingles?
Sometimes - we evaluate each situation for moisture risks and structural capacity. Most Austin homes require tear-off first.
