Your metal roof estimate
Estimates only, not quotes. Takes about a minute.
A standing seam metal roof costs roughly double an asphalt roof up front and lasts 40 to 60 years. In Austin it pays back through hail resistance, heat reflection, and fewer replacements.
Corrugated and metal shingle systems price lower than true standing seam. Gauge, seam type, and roof complexity drive the spread.

What drives the price in Austin
- Energy: light color metal reflects Texas heat and can cut attic temps. Pair with a radiant barrier note for Austin attics.
- Noise myth: metal on solid decking with underlayment is not loud in rain. That is the top objection, and it does not hold up on a properly built roof.
- Hill Country and modern Austin architecture demand: metal is the design default on many new builds in West and East Austin.
Permit and code note
Same permit path as other re-roofs in Austin, plus HOA approval is critical: some HOAs restrict metal or require specific colors and seam profiles. Get HOA sign-off before ordering panels, which are custom cut and not returnable.
Austin example
Example: a modern build in East Austin with a 2,000 sq ft standing seam roof typically lands near $27,000. Over 40 years that is one roof instead of two shingle roofs.
Frequently asked questions
Is a metal roof loud in rain?
No, not on solid decking with underlayment. Noise is the top objection and it does not hold up on a properly built roof.
Will a metal roof rust?
Galvalume steel resists rust in Texas humidity. Keep cut edges sealed and follow the maker maintenance notes.
Can solar mount on standing seam?
Yes. Standing seam is one of the easiest roofs for solar because clamps grip the seam with no roof penetrations.
