Metal roofing is one of the fastest-growing choices in Texas, but old myths still scare homeowners away. Let's clear up the big ones.
The myths
"Metal attracts lightning." It doesn't — and if lightning did strike, metal disperses the energy safely and won't ignite. "It's loud in the rain." Modern metal installs over solid decking and underlayment; inside, it's as quiet as shingles. "It rusts." Today's coated steel and aluminum panels resist corrosion for decades. "It makes your house hotter." The opposite: reflective metal sheds Texas sun and can cut cooling costs. "Hail destroys it." Metal typically outperforms shingles in hail, and dents are usually cosmetic.
The bottom line
A properly installed metal roof lasts 40–70 years and handles Texas weather beautifully. If you're weighing metal against shingles, we'll quote both, free, and give you the honest math.
