Choosing the right roof can become one of the most daunting decisions when it comes to residential or commercial construction projects. With so many options and manufacturers on the market, selecting the best company and materials is of paramount concern. In Texas and across the globe, metal roofs are making waves in the industry, and for a good reason. The quality and longevity of metal roofs are hard to beat.

If you are considering a roof repair, installation, or renovation, there are some important things to consider to ensure your project turns out perfectly.
 
Your Step-By-Step Guide to Adding a Metal Roof in Austin, TX

We proudly provide our customers with the highest quality metal roof in Austin & Central Texas. Every roofing project is unique and requires different considerations to best meet the construction goals and structural requirements of the new or existing building. Installing a metal roof, by and large, is one of the best and most versatile roof options available today.

1. Consider Durability
The first step to any good roofing project is to consider the durability and strength of the roofing material used to build the roof. Metal roofs are far more durable and are proven to last three to five times longer than traditional asphalt roofs.

Using a metal roof on a residential or commercial construction project is a great way to ensure that the building is protected. In addition to its strength and resilience, a metal roof is virtually unaffected by moss and fungus issues that plague other less durable roofing options.

2. Prepare for Weather Conditions
In the unfortunate event that extreme weather affects central Texas, choosing a roof that can withstand the natural elements is critically important. A metal roof is a heavy-duty roof than can endure blaring sunlight, rain, snow, and ice and can even withstand extreme winds and weather.

Our concealed fastener is a certified Class 4 impact-resistant material. Because this material is strong enough to protect against even the most severe weather, our customers are often eligible for up to a 20% insurance discount on their home after installing a metal roof.

3. Weigh the Environmental Impact

An added benefit to installing a metal roof is the low environmental impact that the roof has on its surroundings. Unlike certain other roofing materials that studies have shown can contain higher amounts of lead and other toxic elements, a metal roof does not excrete the same level of toxicity.

In addition, at Austin Roofing and Construction, our metal roofing materials are composed of about 30% recycled content from pre-consumer and post-consumer use. Considering the environmental impact of a roof construction project is an important topic to go over in your roofing plans.

4. Decide on Design
Metal roofs come in a wide variety of colors and designs. Choosing a metal roof can be a decision that enhances the design and color scheme of the house or construction project. Metal roofs create a beautiful finished look to a house or project that requires very little maintenance to keep clean and aesthetically pleasing.

We offer dozens of colors and design options through our manufacturers, and our experienced team of roofing experts can help to guide you in the best decision for roofing color and design for any project.

5. Compare Longevity

A metal roof is an investment that truly shows its value through its longevity and durability. Depending on the specific project and construction goals, there are a number of warranty options available for our metal roofing products. At Austin Roofing Company, we provide a 10-year labor warranty on all of our roofing projects.

In addition to our construction guarantee, our Galvalume roofing systems typically carry a 20-year materials warranty, which guarantees the value of the materials for 20 years. Our painted roof systems typically have a 40-year materials warranty that protects the value for decades to come.

6. Evaluate Maintenance Requirements

Aside from the durability of metal roofs that make them fire, hail, and wind-resistant, the material itself is virtually stain-resistant, which makes maintenance a breeze. Those who have metal roofs installed on their homes enjoy the easy maintenance routine required to upkeep the roof.

Performing regular inspections for damage, and generally cleaning the roof from time to time are virtually the only maintenance requirements that come with owning a metal roof. On most roofing value comparison charts, metal roofs consistently receive a 10 out of 10 in ease of maintenance.

7. Review Construction Requirements
A metal roof is one of the most versatile and adaptable types of roofing material available on the market today. Whether used in a commercial build, a residential project, or in new construction or design, a metal roof can likely be installed with ease. Even the largest and smallest structures with irregular roof shapes or steeply pitched ceilings can be eligible for the benefits of metal roof installation.

One of the biggest concerns to factor into a roofing decision is whether the roof will be part of a new construction project or if a metal roof will replace an old roof. If a roof is being replaced, it is always advised to have an experienced roofing expert assess the structure and requirements.

8. Find a Trusted Company
Roofing projects can be complicated and require precise attention to detail and expert installation practices. It is of the highest importance that you only work with a company you can absolutely trust when it comes to roof installation or repair.
