If you have lived in Tyler or the surrounding area for more than a few years, you already know what hail can do to a roof. Add in high winds, heavy rain, and long stretches of summer heat, and shingles take a beating.
That is why more property owners are asking about metal roofing.
At Steele Roofing, we install metal roofs on homes and commercial buildings throughout Tyler and East Texas. We are a local company, not a pop up storm crew, and we plan to be here long after the job is done. If you are looking for something that lasts longer and holds up better than standard shingles, metal is worth a serious look.
Why Metal Roofing Makes Sense in Tyler
East Texas weather is hard on roofs. Metal simply handles it differently.
Many metal roof systems qualify for a Class 4 impact rating, which is the highest available for hail resistance. That does not mean damage is impossible, but it does mean better performance when storms roll through.
There is also the lifespan factor. A shingle roof might give you 15 to 25 years depending on conditions. A properly installed metal roof can last decades longer. For some homeowners, that alone makes the decision.
Metal also reflects more of the sun’s heat than asphalt shingles. During Tyler summers, that can help reduce attic heat buildup and ease some of the strain on your AC system.
Maintenance is typically lower as well. You are not dealing with curling tabs, granules washing into the gutters, or algae streaks across the surface.
In some cases, insurance companies offer discounts for impact resistant roofing. We can provide the information you need so you can check with your carrier.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install
Not all metal roofs look the same. We install several options depending on the style you want and the type of property.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
This is the clean, vertical panel look most people picture when they think of metal roofing. The fasteners are concealed, and the raised seams help shed water efficiently. It is common on both residential and commercial properties.
Metal Shingles
If you like a more traditional appearance, metal shingles are designed to resemble architectural shingles, slate, or even shake. You get the strength of metal without the modern panel look.
Stone Coated Steel Shingles
These combine a steel base with a textured stone coating. They offer durability and impact resistance while maintaining a dimensional, more classic style.
Commercial Metal Roofing
We install commercial metal roofing in Tyler for offices, retail buildings, warehouses, and other commercial properties. Metal performs well on larger structures and is known for its durability and long service life.
Residential and Commercial Metal Roofing in Tyler
For homeowners, residential metal roofing offers long term durability and a distinct appearance. Some choose it for storm resistance. Others choose it because they do not want to replace a roof again in 15 years.
For business owners, commercial metal roofing provides strong protection with minimal ongoing maintenance. We work with property owners and managers to install systems designed for long term performance.
