Metal Roofing In Central Texas
The Last Roof Decision You’ll Ever Make on This House
The Last Roof Decision You’ll Ever Make on This House
Metal roofing is a permanent roofing system made from formed steel panels installed directly over a home’s decking. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal contains no granules to lose, no layers to delaminate, and no organic material to break down under sustained UV exposure or impact.
In Central Texas, where the combination of hail frequency, extreme heat, and UV intensity accelerates the failure of conventional roofing materials, metal represents a fundamentally different category of protection. It doesn’t just perform better than asphalt. It operates on a different timeline entirely.
The right metal system depends on your home’s profile, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in the property.
An exposed-fastener corrugated steel system. Durable, cost-effective, and well-suited for agricultural buildings, detached garages, and budget-conscious residential applications. The most accessible entry point into metal roofing.
A concealed-fastener system engineered for premium residential installation. The fasteners are hidden beneath interlocking panels, eliminating the primary failure point of exposed-fastener systems. Cleaner profile, superior weather resistance, and a lifespan that routinely exceeds 50 years.
The September 24, 2023 hailstorm caused an estimated $600 million in combined damage across Travis and Williamson Counties, making it the costliest hailstorm in Austin-area recorded history according to the National Weather Service. (Source) The overwhelming majority of that damage was to asphalt roofs. Metal roofs in the same storm zone told a different story.
Steel panels don’t dent from hail the way asphalt degrades. They don’t blister under 160-degree attic temperatures. They don’t fade under nine months of annual UV exposure. The properties that make Central Texas one of the most demanding roofing climates in the country are precisely the conditions metal was engineered to outlast.
For Georgetown and the surrounding communities, metal roofing isn’t a premium upgrade for aesthetics alone. It’s a material specification that matches the actual conditions your roof lives in every single season.
Ark not only replaced my roof, they totally redone my home's exterior. The best-looking work I have ever had done. Nice to have a local Georgetown business right up the road.
The company president is personally committed to excellence from start to finish. He conducted a detailed survey, including an inspection from inside the attic and a drone overview. One of the best experiences we have ever had with a contractor.
Luke and his team were very professional and good at communicating throughout the whole process. They took care of everything and made the work pretty painless. Don't hesitate to give them a chance.
