Metal Roofing in San Antonio
Standing seam and metal shingle roofs that shrug off hail, reflect summer heat and last 40 to 60 years, installed with the right underlayment, clips and flashing.
How much does a metal roof cost in San Antonio?
A standing seam metal roof on a standard 2,000 square foot San Antonio home runs about $20,000 to $45,000 in 2026 depending on the panel, gauge, finish and roof complexity, roughly two to three times an asphalt roof. In return it lasts 40 to 60 years, handles hail far better than shingles and reflects South Texas heat.
The Longest-Lasting Roof for a Hail Corridor
Metal is the roof for San Antonio homeowners who want to stop thinking about the roof. Standing seam panels with concealed clips expand and contract through 100-degree summers without loosening fasteners, Kynar-type finishes reflect heat and hold color, and 24-gauge steel takes hail that would bruise a shingle. Many insurers rate metal as impact-resistant for the same discount as Class 4 shingles.
We install standing seam (snap-lock and mechanically seamed), exposed-fastener panels on barns and shops, and stone-coated or stamped metal shingles that look like shingle or tile on Hill Country homes in Boerne, Helotes and Fair Oaks Ranch. Every metal roof gets high-temperature synthetic underlayment, proper clip spacing, closures and custom-bent flashing at every wall and penetration.

Why Metal Fails and How We Avoid It
Metal roofs that fail do so at the details: fasteners driven through the panel, no expansion allowance, flashing cut in the field. We install to the manufacturer's details with concealed clips and shop-bent trim.
- Concealed clips that let panels move with heat
- High-temp underlayment under every panel
- Shop-bent flashing at walls, chimneys and skylights
- Butyl closures at eaves and ridges
- Fastener pattern to spec for wind uplift

Frequently Asked Questions
Not over a solid deck with underlayment; it sounds much like a shingle roof from inside.
Reflective finishes cut attic temperatures noticeably in South Texas summers; the saving depends on your attic insulation and ventilation.
Often, over one layer with a slip sheet, which saves the tear-off cost; we check the deck and code first.
Large hail can leave cosmetic dents in lighter gauges, which is why we recommend 24 gauge in San Antonio; the roof stays watertight either way and many insurers treat it as impact-resistant.
Most allow standing seam in muted colors and stone-coated shingles; we provide the product sheet for your architectural review.
Three to five days for most homes, longer for complex roofs with many penetrations.
