Metal Roofing in Boerne and the Hill Country
Standing seam metal is the Hill Country roof: it fits the limestone and cedar, reflects the heat, laughs at hail and lasts 40 to 60 years. We install standing seam and metal panel systems, and we repair and replace the exposed-fastener roofs from the 1990s and 2000s that are reaching the end of their sealant life.

Why Metal Makes Sense Here
More Boerne homes wear metal than anywhere else we work, for good reasons.
The Hill Country gets relentless sun, spring hail and wind across open ridgelines. Metal handles all three: reflective finishes send heat back before it reaches the attic, hail that bruises shingles leaves at most a cosmetic dent, and a properly clipped standing seam system is engineered for wind uplift. It also matches the architecture, which is why builders in Fair Oaks Ranch, Cordillera Ranch and the ranches out toward Comfort have used it for decades.
The one caution: not all metal is equal. Exposed-fastener panels (R-panel and similar) are economical but every screw is a future leak once the washer fails, typically 15 to 20 years in. Standing seam hides the fasteners and lasts two to three times longer. We install both and tell you honestly which fits your house and budget.
- Standing seam: concealed clips, longest life, cleanest look
- Exposed-fastener panels: economical for barns, shops and some homes
- Metal shingles and shakes with a traditional profile
- Kynar/PVDF finishes that hold color for decades
- Fastener and sealant campaigns on aging exposed-fastener roofs
- Retrofit over existing roofs where structure allows
Metal Systems We Install
The right profile depends on the house, the budget and the look.
Standing seam
Panels locked with concealed clips; no exposed screws to back out. The residential standard here.
Exposed-fastener panels
R-panel and similar for barns, workshops, outbuildings and budget-conscious homes.
Metal shingles
Steel or aluminum formed as shake, slate or tile.
High-temp underlayment
Rated for the heat under metal so the layer beneath doesn’t cook.
Custom trim and flashing
Every edge, valley and penetration bent to fit. Metal roofs leak at details, so details get the time.
Thermal movement
Clips and fasteners that let panels move through Hill Country temperature swings without fatigue.
Metal vs. Shingles, Honestly
Metal costs two to three times as much up front and lasts two to three times as long.
If you’re staying ten-plus years or you’re tired of hail claims, metal usually wins on total cost. Selling within a few years? Class 4 shingles are often the smarter spend. Noise is a non-issue over solid decking with underlayment. We’ll run both numbers for your house. Full comparison.
Metal Roofing FAQ, Boerne
How much does a metal roof cost in Boerne?
Standing seam runs two to three times the cost of architectural shingles for the same roof; exposed-fastener panels less. Written quote after measuring.
My 20-year-old metal roof is leaking at the screws. Replace it?
Often not. A fastener replacement and sealant campaign can add years to a sound exposed-fastener roof. If panels are corroded or the leaks are widespread, we’ll say so.
Is metal loud in the rain?
Not over solid decking with underlayment. Comparable to shingles.
Does hail damage a metal roof?
Large hail can dent lighter gauges cosmetically. Leaks are rare. Heavier gauges and textured finishes hide dents; many policies exclude cosmetic-only damage.
Can you install metal over my shingles?
Sometimes, over a single sound layer. We generally recommend tear-off so the decking can be inspected and the roof gets proper underlayment.
