A metal roof is one of the smartest long-term investments you can make in a property. It can last 40 to 70 years, shrug off hail and hurricane-force winds, and cut your cooling bills in a Texas summer. But like any roofing system, it needs the right contractor to install it correctly and the right team to repair it when something goes wrong.
Rebel Roofing handles metal roof repair, replacement, and full installation for homeowners and commercial property owners across Houston, The Woodlands, Pearland, Sugar Land, and throughout Texas and Mississippi. Every project comes with a 25-year craftsmanship warranty.
Metal roofs are built tough, but they’re not indestructible. Fasteners back out over time. Sealant around penetrations fails. Panels get dented or scratched by hail and then start to rust at the exposed edges. If your metal roof is leaking or showing visible damage, you don’t necessarily need a full replacement.
Our metal roof leak repair process starts with a complete inspection to find every failure point, not just the obvious one. We re-seal penetrations, replace damaged panels, tighten or replace backing-out fasteners, and treat any rust before it spreads. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Leaks around pipe boots, skylights, or HVAC penetrations where sealant has cracked or pulled away. Panels that have lifted or separated after high winds. Rust and corrosion on exposed cut edges or scratched surfaces. Fasteners that have backed out and left gaps in the roofing system. Dented or buckled panels from hail impact.
A proper metal roof installation is not just laying panels. It’s a system: the right underlayment, the right panel profile for your roof pitch, correct flashing at every edge and penetration, and proper allowance for thermal movement. Skip any one of those details and you’ll have problems inside five years regardless of how good the metal is.
Here’s how we approach every installation:
We inspect the existing deck for soft spots, rot, or structural issues before a single panel goes on. Any compromised decking gets replaced. We install a breathable synthetic underlayment rated for metal roofing systems, which prevents condensation buildup underneath the panels.
Panels are installed following manufacturer specifications for overlap, fastener placement, and seaming. For standing seam systems, we use a mechanical seamer to lock panels at the correct engagement depth. For exposed-fastener systems, we use gasketed fasteners and apply sealant to every penetration point.
Eave trim, ridge cap, rake edges, valley flashing, and all pipe and HVAC penetrations are sealed and finished to the same standard as the panels. This is where most metal roof failures start on jobs done in a hurry. We don’t rush the trim work.
Every installation gets a full walk before we leave: panels seated correctly, seams tight, fasteners properly torqued, all penetrations sealed, and gutters clear of metal debris. You get a copy of the warranty documentation before we pack up.
Metal roofing performs well across property types, each with different requirements.
For homes across Houston, Katy, Cypress, and the surrounding area, standing seam and stone-coated steel panels are the most popular choices. Both hold up to hail, both qualify for most homeowner insurance discounts for impact-resistant roofing, and both look significantly better than they did 20 years ago. We help you pick the right profile and color for your home before we quote the job.
Warehouses, retail buildings, and commercial properties in the Houston metro and Ocean Springs area benefit from low-slope metal roofing systems with standing seam or structural panels. We handle commercial projects of all sizes and work around your operating schedule to minimize disruption.
A properly installed metal roof in Texas typically lasts 40 to 70 years depending on the system. Standing seam metal roofs with concealed fasteners generally outlast exposed-fastener systems because they eliminate the most common failure point. With regular inspections every few years and minor maintenance as needed, most metal roofs will outlast two or three asphalt shingle replacements.
Most metal roof damage can be repaired rather than replaced. Common issues like sealant failure around penetrations, isolated panel damage from hail, backing-out fasteners, and surface rust are all repairable. Replacement makes more sense when the roof is old, has widespread rust through the panel surface, or has sustained damage across a large portion of the roof. We’ll give you an honest assessment of which option makes financial sense for your situation.
Metal roofing costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, typically ranging from $8 to $20 per square foot installed depending on the panel system, roof complexity, and material gauge. Standing seam systems cost more than exposed-fastener panels but require less maintenance over time. The best way to get an accurate number for your property is a free inspection and estimate from Rebel Roofing.
Yes. Metal roofs with reflective coatings can reduce roof surface temperatures by 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit compared to dark asphalt shingles, which directly reduces the heat load on your attic and HVAC system. Many Texas homeowners see meaningful reductions in summer cooling costs after switching from asphalt to metal. The savings compound over the life of the roof.
Metal roofing is generally viewed favorably by insurance carriers. Many insurers offer discounts for impact-resistant metal roofing systems, and metal roofs are less likely to require full replacement after a hail event compared to asphalt shingles. Check your specific policy for details. If you’ve had storm damage, Rebel Roofing documents everything you’ll need to support a claim.
Most residential metal roof installations are completed in two to four days depending on roof size and complexity. Commercial projects vary based on the building’s square footage and roof access. We’ll give you a specific timeline during the estimate process so you can plan accordingly.
Yes. Rebel Roofing installs and repairs metal roofing systems on commercial buildings across Houston, Pasadena, League City, and the surrounding Texas area, as well as Ocean Springs and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We work with standing seam, structural panels, and low-slope commercial metal systems.
