Standing seam and commercial metal panel systems for Austin businesses. 50+ year lifespan, superior wind resistance, and low maintenance.
Metal roofing is an excellent long-term investment for commercial buildings in Austin. Standing seam and structural metal panel systems offer 50+ year lifespans, exceptional wind resistance, and minimal maintenance requirements.
Metal is the longest-lasting commercial roofing option available. While membrane systems last 20–25 years, metal roofs last 40–60+ years with minimal maintenance. For Austin building owners who want to install a roof once and forget about it, metal is the answer.
Standing seam: Concealed fastener system ideal for sloped commercial roofs. 140+ MPH wind rating. Clean aesthetic for office buildings, retail centers, and mixed-use developments. 40-year finish warranty.
R-panel / PBR panel: Cost-effective exposed-fastener metal for warehouses, workshops, and agricultural buildings. Good performance at a lower price point than standing seam.
Corrugated: The workhorse of commercial metal. Strong, lightweight, fast to install. Commonly used on large-footprint industrial buildings where appearance is secondary to function.
This is the comparison we get asked about most. Here’s the honest breakdown:
Choose metal when: your roof is sloped, you want 40+ year lifespan, you’re concerned about hail damage, or you want the lowest lifetime cost.
Choose TPO when: your roof is flat or low-slope, upfront cost is the priority, you need maximum energy efficiency, or your building has heavy rooftop HVAC equipment that requires membrane sealing around penetrations.
Both are excellent choices. The right one depends on your building’s geometry and your budget horizon.

24-gauge steel is our standard for standing seam commercial applications. For high-wind zones or large-span buildings, we may spec 22-gauge for additional rigidity. All panels are Galvalume-coated with Kynar 500 paint finish for maximum corrosion and UV resistance.
In many cases, yes. Metal can be installed over existing shingles or flat roofs using a purlin system, which saves tear-off costs and reduces landfill waste. We’ll assess your existing roof during our free inspection to determine if a recover is appropriate for your building.
Exposed fastener panels can leak at screw penetrations as washers degrade over 8–12 years. That’s why we recommend standing seam for most commercial applications — concealed clips eliminate this failure point entirely.
