Every job starts with a free estimate. We’ll walk you through panel profiles, colors, and how the cost compares with shingles over the life of your home, then help you choose the system that fits your home and budget.
Metal roofs start at $6.50 per square foot of roof area for exposed-fastener and stone-coated steel, and about $10.50 for standing seam, including tear-off of your old roof. We’ll price both options at your free estimate if you’re deciding between them.
All of our metal roofs come with our workmanship warranty of up to 5 years, and financing through Wisetack is available.
Metal Roofing Options
Standing Seam Metal
Panels run from the ridge to the eave, with raised seams that lock together above the flat surface of the roof. The fasteners are hidden under the seams instead of driven through the panel, so there are fewer places for water to get in and nothing for West Texas wind to work loose.
Stone-Coated Steel
Steel panels bonded with a layer of stone granules give you the look of shingles, tile, or shake with the strength of metal. It’s a good fit if you want metal’s durability without changing the style of your home.
Exposed-Fastener Metal
Screw-down panels fastened through the face of the metal. It’s the lowest-cost metal option and a common choice for shops, barns, and carports. The screws and washers wear over time, so plan on checking them, and we can replace them when they do.
Commercial Metal Roofing
Standing seam panels for retail, office, and warehouse buildings with sloped roofs. See our commercial roofing services.
Metal Roofs and West Texas Hail
Hail is the question we hear most. Metal won’t crack or lose granules the way shingles can, and many standing seam and stone-coated steel systems carry a Class 4 impact rating. Large hail can still dent metal, though, and many Texas policies exclude cosmetic damage on metal roofs. Before you commit, ask your agent how your policy treats metal, and we’ll go over it with you during your estimate.
Metal Roofing in Midland: What We See
Metal has gone from the ranch and the shop to the street. On the newer north-side subdivisions and the acreage lots along FM 1788, SH 158 and the Greenwood and Gardendale roads, standing seam is now a normal choice for a replacement, and stone-coated steel is the pick for homeowners who want the look of shingle or tile with a metal roof’s life. On the older 1950s and 60s houses inside Loop 250, where the decking is plank rather than sheet, we check and replace boards before any panel goes down.
Hail is the reason most Midland homeowners ask about metal. The May 24, 2022 storm put softball hail on the northwest side near Greentree, and May 30, 2024 brought baseball-to-softball hail across north Midland and Gardendale. A 24- or 26-gauge standing seam panel usually comes through hail like that with cosmetic dents only, and many insurers write a discount for a Class 4 rated metal roof. The second reason is heat: a reflective metal roof over a ventilated attic runs cooler in a Midland August than dark shingle, and it pairs well with the solar systems our partner Permian Solar installs.
Installed and including tear-off, exposed-fastener and stone-coated steel start at about $6.50 per square foot of roof area in Midland, and standing seam at about $10.50. Every metal roof carries our written workmanship warranty, up to 5 years on replacements, plus the manufacturer’s finish warranty. Financing is through Wisetack. The City of Midland does not require a permit to re-roof, even when you switch to metal, and we are registered with the city for any other work that needs one. If you are comparing options, start with the roofing company in Midland, TX homeowners have trusted since 1988, and ask for standing seam, stone-coated and Class 4 shingle prices side by side on the same free estimate.
What to Expect During Your Metal Roof Installation
Free Estimate and Roof Check
We measure the roof, look at the decking and ventilation, and walk you through panel styles and colors. You get a written estimate before any work is scheduled.
Tear-Off and Decking Repair
We remove the old roof so we can see the decking underneath and replace any soft or damaged boards before the new roof goes on.
Underlayment and Flashing
A high-temperature underlayment goes down first, followed by new flashing at walls, valleys, chimneys, and vents. These details matter more than the panels for keeping water out.
Panels and Trim
Standing seam panels are cut to length for your roof and locked together at the seams. Stone-coated steel panels are installed in courses, much like shingles. We finish with ridge caps and trim, then clean up and walk the job with you.
Why Homeowners Choose Metal
Longer Lifespan
Metal costs more upfront than shingles, but it commonly lasts 40 years or more. A roof you may never need to replace can come out ahead over the life of your home.
Cooler Attic
Lighter, reflective finishes can help keep your attic cooler through a Midland summer and lower cooling costs.
Solar-Ready
Solar panels can clamp directly to standing seams, without drilling through the roof. We partner with Permian Solar so your roof and panels are planned together.
Caring for a Metal Roof
Metal roofs need very little upkeep, but a quick check after a big storm is worth it. Look for:
- Dents or scratches from hail or falling limbs
- Loose trim or flashing along edges and walls
- Debris collecting in valleys or behind chimneys
- Sealant around pipes and vents that has dried out in the sun
If something looks off, call us for an inspection. We repair metal roofs too, including loose panels, worn seams, and leaks around fasteners and flashing. Small fixes caught early keep a metal roof watertight for decades.
Not sure whether standing seam or stone-coated steel is right for your home? We’ll walk you through both during your free estimate.

Metal Roofing FAQs
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
Most homeowners are surprised how quiet it is. Installed over solid decking and underlayment, a metal roof sounds much like a shingle roof from inside the house during rain. Stone-coated steel is quieter still, because the granule coating softens the impact.
How does metal roofing compare to asphalt shingles in cost and lifespan?
Metal costs more upfront, but it commonly lasts 40 years or more. Shingle roofs here rarely reach their advertised lifespan, because Permian Basin hail usually ends a shingle roof before age does. Fewer replacements over the life of your home can make metal the better value, and lighter, reflective finishes can help lower cooling costs.
Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No. Metal doesn’t make a strike more likely, and because it’s noncombustible, it’s far less likely than other roofing materials to catch fire if lightning does hit.
Will a metal roof rust?
Modern steel panels have a zinc-aluminum coating plus a factory paint finish (or stone granules on stone-coated steel), so they hold up well in our dry climate. We touch up cut edges and scratches during installation.
Can a metal roof go over my existing shingles?
Sometimes, depending on local building code and the condition of the roof underneath. In most cases we recommend a full tear-off so we can check and repair the decking first. Covering a damaged deck can hide problems that shorten the life of your new roof. We’ll tell you which option fits your home during your free estimate.
What does a metal roof cost in Midland?
Installed, including tear-off, exposed-fastener and stone-coated steel start at about $6.50 per square foot of roof area and standing seam at about $10.50. A typical 2,500 square foot Midland roof therefore runs from the mid-teens to the high twenties in thousands, depending on panel, pitch and decking repair. We put the numbers in writing on a free estimate.
How did metal roofs in Midland hold up in the 2022 and 2024 hail?
On the metal roofs we inspected afterward, exposed-fastener panels showed cosmetic dents and standing seam held up well, while many neighboring shingle roofs were replaced.
Will a metal roof lower my insurance premium in Midland?
Often. Many carriers writing in Midland County give a discount for a UL 2218 Class 4 rated roof, and most standing seam and stone-coated steel systems carry that rating. Ask us for the rating certificate for the panel you choose and send it to your agent.
Do Midland neighborhoods or HOAs allow metal roofs?
Most do, and standing seam in earth tones is the easiest approval. Some subdivisions on the north side require HOA sign-off on color and profile; ask us for the product sheets your HOA will want to see.
How long does a metal roof take in Midland?
Panels are roll-formed to length, so the lead time is generally two to three weeks after you choose a color, and the installation itself typically takes one or two days on an average Midland home. Weather can move the start date, and we keep you updated.
