Metal Roofing Austin
Austin’s #1 Metal Roof Contractor

Metal roof installation typically ranges from $8–$15 per square foot installed, depending on material, roof complexity, and home size. While metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, the 50+ year lifespan and energy savings make it a smart long-term investment. Ja-Mar provides free estimates so you can see the exact cost for your Austin home.

Metal roofing is particularly well-suited to Austin’s conditions: it reflects UV rays reducing cooling costs by up to 25%, withstands hail and high winds common in Central Texas, lasts 50+ years, qualifies for insurance discounts up to 35% with Class 4 impact ratings, increases home value, and is 100% recyclable. Standing seam systems are especially well-suited to Austin’s extreme heat and hail exposure.

Properly installed metal roofing lasts 50+ years, often outlasting the structure itself. In Austin’s harsh climate — intense sun, hailstorms, and dramatic temperature swings — metal roofs significantly outperform asphalt shingles, which typically last only 15–20 years under local conditions.

No — modern metal roofing is not noisy. With proper installation including underlayment and insulation, metal roofing is no louder than traditional shingles. Standing seam systems installed by Ja-Mar’s Austin crews include sound-attenuating underlayment as standard.

Yes — metal roofing can lower your Texas homeowner’s insurance by up to 35% when it carries a Class 4 UL 2218 impact resistance rating. Austin-area insurance companies offer these discounts because metal roofing is extremely resistant to hail damage. Ja-Mar will help you select materials that qualify for maximum savings and provide documentation for your insurer.

Standing seam metal roofing features raised interlocking seams with hidden fasteners — no exposed screws that can fail or leak over time. It’s the premium system recommended for Austin residential and commercial applications. Exposed fastener panels cost less upfront but require periodic re-fastening and offer less waterproofing performance in Austin’s heavy rain events.
