Energy-Efficient Metal Roofing for Houston
Beat the Texas heat and slash energy costs with modern metal roofing. Superior durability, hurricane-rated wind resistance, and 50+ year lifespan make metal the smart choice for Gulf Coast homes.
Why Metal Roofing is Perfect for Houston's Climate
Engineered to perform in extreme Gulf Coast conditions - heat, humidity, and hurricanes
Superior Heat Reflection
Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat instead of absorbing it. Cool roof technology reduces cooling costs by 10-25% in Houston's intense heat, paying for itself over time.
Hurricane-Rated Strength
Engineered for Gulf Coast hurricanes with wind ratings up to 140 mph. Interlocking panels withstand extreme winds that tear off shingles. Essential hurricane protection.
50+ Year Lifespan
Metal roofing lasts 2-3 times longer than asphalt shingles. 50-70 year lifespan in Houston climate. May be the last roof you'll ever need, exceptional long-term value.
Fire & Hail Resistant
Class A fire rating (highest) and Class 4 impact resistance available. Non-combustible material provides superior fire protection. Resists Houston hailstorms better than shingles.
Superior Water Shedding
Smooth surface and interlocking panels shed Houston's heavy rains quickly. Prevents water pooling and leaks. Resistant to Houston's high humidity and moisture.
Quieter Than You Think
Modern installation with solid decking and insulation makes metal roofs as quiet as shingles. Proper installation eliminates noise concerns in Houston rainstorms.

Cool Roof Technology Explained
Cool metal roofing uses special reflective pigments in the paint finish that reflect solar radiation rather than absorbing it as heat. This keeps your attic and living spaces cooler, reducing air conditioning demand during Houston's brutal summers.
Traditional Dark Roof:
- Surface temperature: 150-170°F
- Heat transferred to attic
- AC works harder & longer
- Higher energy bills
Cool Metal Roof:
- Surface temperature: 100-120°F
- Heat reflected away
- AC runs less frequently
- Reduced energy costs
