Metal roofs have many distinct advantages over other roofing materials. They are durable, lightweight, easy to install and are fireproof. With a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from, Houston roofing specialists can achieve virtually any look you want for your home.
Metal offers a wide spectrum of variations and materials under its umbrella, all of which can be installed by Beck Roofing & Restoration. These are some of the most popular metal roofing varieties:
Aluminum Roofing
Aluminum roofing has many benefits that homeowners and business owners are attracted to. While it is durable, corrosion-resistant, cost-effective, and eco-friendly, aluminum roofing also doesn’t rust, enables smoother water runoff, and reflects the sun better than other metal roofing materials. This also makes it energy-efficient.
Steel Roofing
A popular choice for roofing in hail-prone areas particularly, steel roofing is super durable and low maintenance, which ranks it high on the longevity scale. Like most metal roofing materials, the heat reflection also contributes to reduced energy use and costs.
Copper Roofing
Copper as a roofing material is definitely one of the more rare metal roofing alternatives, but its unique finish is one of its stand-out features and one that is bound to increase the home’s curb appeal. Given its light weight and malleability, it can be fashioned in a variety of ways to mimic tiles, shingles, brick, etc.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing-seam is the most popular iteration of metal roofing. Essentially, this type of roofing raises the seams beyond the level of the actual roof, thereby creating panels that run from the ridge to the eaves of the roof. Its interlocking system ensures that a watertight seal is created, and also makes it one of the strongest, most reliable roof systems on the market today.
Corrugated Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal is made from galvanized steel rolled into a wavy pattern. This corrugation process enhances the strength of the material, making corrugated metal roofing a tough metal roofing option. It’s often seen in industry and less on homes, but its light weight, durability and water-shedding features are making it a viable option for the home.
Metal Shingles
Metal shingles is one of the most popular options for residential roofing. Its major appeal is the combination of all the great characteristics of metal, while giving homeowners the ability to customize the look and feel to their preference. Metal shingles can mimic the finish of more premium roofing alternatives like slate, clay and concrete tiles and cedar, at a fraction of the cost, and with strength, durability and longevity guaranteed.
Metal is one of the most reliable roofing materials on the market for both residential and top commercial roofs. These are some of the characteristics that make it a great roofing option:
Durability
Metal roofing holds up well against all types of harsh weather conditions. It is even able to withstand debris and animal activity. The impact of extreme weather in the Houston, TX area makes metal roofing an excellent choice for durability.
Low maintenance
Maintenance on a metal roof is so easy that you could almost install it and forget about it. As with any roofing material, regular maintenance is a must, but the upkeep on a metal roof is so limited, that compared to other solutions like shingles, concrete, or tile, you’ll have a worry-free roof and save on costs in the long run.
Longevity
Its durability and ease of maintenance contribute to metal roofs lasting a very long time – up to 50-70 years. That means that you may very well never have to replace your home’s roof again in your lifetime.
Environmentally friendly
In most cases, a quality metal roof will be made of anything from 35% – 95% recyclable and/or recycled material. While the lifespan of a metal roof will be very long, when it does come time to remove it for whatever reason, the entire thing will be 100% recyclable, as opposed to being dumped in a landfill. In addition, its heat-reflecting capabilities means the homeowner will save on home energy costs too, by reducing the need for cooling in the home.
Value
While your metal roof will cost more up front to install, it will cost less over its lifetime. The long-term investment is well worth it considering the reduction of maintenance and repair costs over the roof’s lifetime – a far cry from alternatives like asphalt shingles. On top of that, metal roof warranties also tend to be exceptional.
FAQs

How long do metal roofs last?
Metal is one of the roofing materials giving homeowners minimal hassle and bang for their buck in terms of longevity. While some materials may require a roof replacement every 20-30 years, a metal roof can enjoy a lifespan of 40-70 years. This means you may never have to replace your home’s roof in your lifetime again.
Are metal roofs noisy when it rains?
Many have this misconception of noise caused by metal roofing, thanks in large part due to older methods of installation. These days metal roofs are installed over solid roof deck, which, apart from providing a foundation, also functions to absorb sound. This greatly reduces noise caused by rain or hail and what you hear is likely at the same pitch as other roofing material types.
Do metal roofs keep the house cooler?
One of metal’s best characteristics is the that fact that it reflects heat in summer, which can greatly reduce the home’s temperature and mitigate the need for any energy-guzzling artificial cooling.

They have done a great job, honest, and gave me a great price. The job was clean and efficient. They were in and out in less than half of a day, and the gutters match amazingly. They don't even look like gutters! I highly recommend… More getting the screen!
Had a bullet come through our roof. Eric and his crew not only fixed the hole, but repaired another part of our roof a previous contractor had installed completely wrong that was leaking and we didn't even know! Great customer service… More and honorable work! Will be using again for future projects.
Erik and his team of professionals, set the gold standard for a company that earns a 5 star rating. I've never experienced such professionalism, punctuality, honesty, integrity, communication, and most importantly: exceptional work.… More Erik offered me advice based on honesty and taking care of the clients needs, rather than his bottom line. I have nothing but good things to say and will be using them again and recommending them to friends and family. Thanks for the awesome repair work!
Husband and wife team communicate well and update often with photos and videos of damage and repair. The final cost was close to the original estimate. The crew cleaned up everyday and they soft washed the front and back porches/decks,… More drive and walkways at the end. All areas of concern were repaired and the fresh paint/gutters make the house look 10 years younger!
I purchased a home that has a 20+ year old standing seam metal roof. I had a small leak coming from poor chimney flashing that needed to be repaired. I was having a hard time getting anyone to come out and look at it because it was such… More a small job. When I called Beck Roofing, they were very accommodating from the get go and also offered their service to do a full roof inspection while they were there.
Upon inspection, they noticed the ridge caps were installed with improper screws causing damage and rust on the panels. They gave me a bid to repair it correctly in order to preserve the life of the roof. It ended up being a much bigger job than originally anticipated yet they did not raise the original bid price once they uncovered other issues as they were removing the caps. This is so rare these days and frankly refreshing. They honored their bid! The crews were super, and the follow up by Erik and Sandy was amazing.
They also offer roof cleaning service as well.
I am so pleased how it all turned out and have no doubt this will extend the life another 25+ years.
I am so very thankful to Eric and his crew. I had a leak in my ceiling that no one else could seem to find or fix. Eric came and found the problem right away and we quickly scheduled it for repairs. He and his crew was amazing and very… More respectful of my property even when I wasn't home.
From the first phone call with Sandy to the end of the job, everyone was so helpful and understanding.
Thank you all so much for a job well done.
Everyone at Beck Roofing and Restoration has been amazing. They helped us mitigate and rebuild our house after we had many pipes bust in the freeze. They worked with us through every step of the process, help us custom build cabinets… More to be exactly what we wanted, and guided us though the decision making process. Then when it came time for our roof to be replaced, they took care of us once again. They took all the needed pictures for insurance documentation and supported us through the entire process twice. Brandy and Erik have been beyond amazing and we are so thankful for everything they have done to help us make this process easier and positive. We will definitely use them for any remodeling we do in the future. Thank you all so much!
