What’s different about San Antonio

San Antonio has a deep contractor pool and moderate labor costs, with intense heat and occasional hail shaping exterior material choices.

  • Metal roofing resists hail and high wind, a real plus in storm-prone states.
  • Standing-seam metal with concealed fasteners stands up to hurricane-force wind.
  • Reflective metal roofing cuts cooling costs in hot, sunny climates.

How the cost is built

Metal-roof cost is driven by panel type (corrugated and ribbed steel are cheaper; standing-seam, aluminum, copper, and zinc cost more), roof complexity, and gauge. Metal costs about twice as much as asphalt upfront but lasts 40–60 years, so its cost per year is often lower.
