Metal Roof Installation Austin
Done Right. Built to Last 50+ Years.

Most residential metal roof installations are completed in 2–5 days, depending on roof size, complexity, and whether a full tear-off is required. Larger commercial installations may take 1–2 weeks. Ja-Mar’s crews work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home or business.

Metal roof installation typically costs $8–$15 per square foot installed, depending on the system type, roof complexity, and home size. Standing seam installation runs higher than exposed fastener due to labor intensity, but delivers superior long-term performance. Ja-Mar provides free, detailed estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.

A complete metal roof installation includes: removal and disposal of existing roofing, full deck inspection and repair as needed, installation of high-performance underlayment, metal panel or shingle installation to manufacturer specs, flashing and trim work, ridge cap installation, and a final quality inspection. Ja-Mar also provides documentation for insurance discount applications.

Standing seam installation is the premium choice for most residential and commercial applications.

Our team will recommend the right system for your specific situation.

However, the existing deck must be structurally sound and local building codes must permit it. Our team will inspect and advise before recommending this approach.

Manufacturer warranties are void if installation doesn’t meet spec, which is why choosing a certified installer like Ja-Mar matters as much as choosing the right materials.
