Premium metal roofing systems for Austin homes. Standing seam and stone coated steel options with 50+ year lifespans and lifetime warranties.
Metal roofing is one of the best long-term investments a Austin homeowner can make. With a 50+ year lifespan, exceptional wind resistance, and superior performance in Central Texas weather, metal roofs outperform all other residential roofing options in durability. RISE Roofing installs both standing seam and stone-coated steel systems.

Learn More →Metal roofing used to be rare on Austin homes. Not anymore. In the last 5 years, we’ve seen metal installations jump from about 10% of our residential jobs to nearly 30%. Here’s what’s driving the shift:
Hurricane performance. Standing seam metal is rated for 140–160 MPH winds. After every major Austin storm, the roofs still standing are almost always metal. Shingles blow off; metal panels stay locked in place.
Longevity. A metal roof lasts 40–60 years with virtually no maintenance. A shingle roof in Austin lasts 15–20 years. Do the math: one metal roof vs. three shingle roofs over the life of your home.
Energy savings. Metal reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. Austin homeowners with metal roofs typically see 15–25% lower cooling costs during summer months.
Insurance discounts. Many Texas insurers offer premium discounts for metal roofs because they’re more resistant to hail and wind. Check with your carrier — we’ve seen discounts of $500–$1,200 per year.
Standing seam: The premium choice. Hidden fasteners mean no exposed screws to leak. Clean, modern look. $15,000–$28,000 for a typical Austin home. Our most popular metal option in Memorial, Tanglewood, and West University.
Stone-coated steel (DECRA/Tilcor): Looks like tile, shake, or slate but weighs a fraction. 120+ MPH wind rating. $14,000–$24,000. We’re a certified DECRA and Tilcor installer.
Corrugated/R-panel: The budget-friendly metal option. Commonly used on detached garages, workshops, and some contemporary homes. $10,000–$18,000.
Not with proper installation. We install metal over solid decking with synthetic underlayment that dampens sound. Homeowners consistently tell us they can’t tell the difference from inside the house.
Standing seam steel can show cosmetic dents from very large hail (2”+), but it won’t leak or lose structural integrity. Stone-coated steel is virtually dent-proof due to the stone granule coating.
Most Austin HOAs now approve metal roofing, especially stone-coated steel that mimics traditional tile or shake. We can provide material samples and spec sheets for your HOA submission.
