Metal roofing is a long-lasting option for homes and commercial buildings across North Texas. Pineapple Roofing installs metal roofs and can help you decide whether metal is the right choice for your property.
Types of metal roofing
- Standing seam. Panels that run from the ridge to the eave, joined with raised seams. The fasteners are concealed under the panels.
- Exposed-fastener panels. Panels attached with fasteners that show on the surface. They are common on commercial and agricultural buildings.
- Metal shingles and tiles. Stamped pieces designed to resemble traditional roofing materials.
How metal handles Texas weather
Metal sheds heat well, especially with a reflective finish, and weathers wind when the panels and fasteners are installed correctly. Hail can dent metal panels. A dent is usually cosmetic, but it is worth asking how your insurance policy treats cosmetic damage before you choose. Roofing products are tested for impact resistance and graded from Class 1 to Class 4, with Class 4 the highest.
What to ask before you choose metal
- What panel type and thickness are proposed, and why?
- How will the roof be ventilated and insulated?
- How are the seams, edges and penetrations flashed?
- Does your homeowners association restrict materials or colors?
- How does your insurer treat a metal roof and cosmetic damage?
For how the two materials compare, see our asphalt shingle roofing page.
Residential and commercial
We install metal on homes and on commercial buildings. See commercial roofing and roof replacement for how we approach a project.
Frequently asked questions
Is a metal roof louder in the rain?
Not when installed over solid decking with underlayment. The noise most people remember comes from open-framed buildings.
Will hail dent a metal roof?
It can. Dents are often cosmetic, but ask how your policy treats them.
Can metal be installed over existing shingles?
Sometimes, depending on local code and the condition of what is underneath. Many roofers prefer to remove the old roof so the decking can be inspected.
