This is the Kirby page for metal roofing. The short version: you want to compare metal against shingle or tile with real numbers for their house, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteAfter a storm, the trucks knocking on doors are working from radar; the roofer worth calling works from photographs of your roof, slope by slope. Roof surface payment schedules and ACV roof endorsements are showing up on renewals across Central Texas; read the declarations page before assuming a claim will fund a new roof. Lower pitches on mid-century homes rule out some products and make ice-and-water shield in the valleys non-negotiable.
What it costs in Kirby: expect roughly two to three times the cost of architectural shingle for standing seam; exposed-fastener panels sit in between; the offset is a service life measured in decades and, in Florida, meaningful wind-mitigation credits.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license, which is exactly why we vet partners on insurance, manufacturer certification, and BBB standing instead of taking a business card at face value.
How it works
Better than shingle for punctures; it can dent cosmetically in large hail. Some Texas carriers exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check the policy before you switch.
Standing seam hides fasteners under the seam, so nothing penetrates the panel — that's why it carries the best wind ratings and longest warranties. Exposed-fastener (5V, R-panel) costs less and looks right on ranch and rural homes, but the screw gaskets need attention after 10–15 years.
Texas has no statewide roofing contractor license, which is exactly why we vet partners on insurance, manufacturer certification, and BBB standing instead of taking a business card at face value. Kirby is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
