Standing seam and stone-coated steel, installed to manufacturer specification by our own crews. A 50+ year roof system with Class 4 impact protection — for most buildings, the last roof it will need.
Metal roofing built to outlast the building. Roof Experts installs standing seam and stone-coated steel roofing systems for homeowners and commercial property owners across DFW and our Texas, Colorado, Missouri and Oklahoma markets. Properly installed, a metal roof is often the last roof a building needs — 50+ years of Class 4 impact protection, reflective energy performance, and almost no maintenance.
Start here
Metal roofing is specified differently depending on the building. Start with the page that matches yours:
The systems
Concealed-fastener panels with raised, mechanically seamed ribs — no exposed screws to back out over time. A 50+ year roof system, Class 4 impact rated, fire resistant, and energy efficient with reflective coatings. On commercial buildings, standing seam typically runs 30+ years before it reaches the end of its useful life.
We install standing seam over a nail base — laminated OSB or plywood — because it gives the panels a solid, secure surface to attach to and adds meaningfully to the roof’s durability.
Steel panels finished with a stone coating that looks like shake, tile or architectural shingles — metal performance without the industrial look. Class 4 impact, Class A fire, Class 90 wind.
Expect roughly twice the cost of an architectural shingle roof, in the range of $25,000–$40,000 on a typical home. The trade is that it is a 50+ year roof — for most homeowners, the last one they buy. Financing is available on either system.
Straight answer
If you’re weighing metal against a full roof replacement in another material, we’ll lay out both at the inspection — and every system we install carries the same workmanship warranty.
Metal is not the right roof for every building, and we would rather say so before you buy one. Three things worth knowing:
Concealed-fastener panels, mechanically seamed, installed over a nail base for a solid substrate.
Steel panels with a stone finish that reads as shake, tile or architectural shingle from the street.
Steep-slope metal for gas stations, dealerships, churches and industrial buildings.
Panel and fastener replacement, seam and flashing repair, and fixing work another contractor got wrong.
Documented inspection after a storm so you know whether damage is cosmetic denting or a real problem.
Where the deck and moisture conditions allow it — we tell you honestly when they do not.
Certified inspector on-site, photo-documented findings, written report, no pressure and no hidden costs.
Small repair, big repair, or full replacement — we tell you which one this roof needs and why.
Instant online quote with sign-on-screen. The price you are quoted is the price you pay — no surprises.
Crew arrives on schedule, works clean, leaves no debris. Workmanship warranty on every job.
Full tear-off & replacement of a single-family roof.

No — the opposite, in most cases. Metal has a low thermal mass, meaning it reflects heat rather than absorbing it the way asphalt shingles do, which generally lowers cooling costs. The one thing that matters alongside it is attic ventilation: a well-ventilated attic lets that heat dissipate, while a poorly ventilated one will trap it regardless of what the roof is made of.
Metal conducts electricity better than wood or asphalt, so lightning looking for the path of least resistance will take it. What that does not mean is that a metal roof puts your building at greater risk overall. If you are in a strike-prone area, a lightning protection system installed by a certified installer and properly maintained is the right answer — and we can walk you through the options.
Standing seam and stone-coated steel systems are 50+ year roofs. For comparison, we consider a residential metal roof to be reaching the end of its expected life at around 40 years, and commercial standing seam at 30+ — well past the 15 years you would get from a 3-tab asphalt roof or the 22 from an architectural shingle.
It depends entirely on how long you are keeping the building. Stone-coated steel runs about twice an architectural shingle roof. If you hold the property, you buy one roof instead of two or three and spend almost nothing maintaining it. If you are selling in a few years, you will not capture that, and a Class 4 impact-resistant shingle is often the better value.
Sometimes, but we will not recommend it blindly. It depends on the condition of the deck, how many roof systems are already on the building, and whether there is trapped moisture underneath. The inspection tells us which is appropriate, and we will show you what we found either way.
