As a Houston home or property owner, you may like the idea of metal roofing but know very little about it. Once you educate yourself on the benefits of a metal roof, you will likely decide it is the best value for your property, whether you are starting a new building or doing some remodeling.
Types of Metal Roofs
When deciding on a new roof, it is wise to know what type of roofing surface you want. Ja-Mar Roofing & Sheet Metal offer many styles:
- Flat Seam Metal Roofing – Our most affordable roofing surface. Provides all the benefits of metal roofing without breaking the budget
- Ornamental Metal Roofing – Roof designs that combine durability, energy efficiency, and style to help your home stand out.
- Standing Seam Metal Roofing – Standing seam metal prevents large metal panels from experiencing structural problems. Ja-Mar Roofing partners with Sheffield for our standing seam roofing

Benefits of Metal Roofing
Metal roof construction is very durable. Depending on what type of metal you use, the roof can sustain harsh storms and gust of winds that are up to 140 miles per hour. Some metal roofs are quite impact-resistant and don’t corrode or split like other roofing materials. Roofs made of metal are also safer than other types, featuring high fire-resistance.
Durability and Longevity
Metal roofs outshine other types of roofing materials because they last a long time — up to about 70 years. Traditional asphalt roofs generally need replacing after 12 to 20 years. Initially, the price of a metal roof is more than that of a roof made of other materials, but it can actually last as long as you live in your home or operate your business, and not need replacing like asphalt roofs.
Energy Efficiency
A metal roof is also energy efficient. Since it reflects up to 70% of the sun’s rays, it can lower your utility bills by up to 25 percent. The material is 100% recyclable, and some metal roofs can consist of up to 95 percent recycled content.
Metal roofing saves money on energy costs, reduces power consumption, and encourages corporate and household recycling, making it perfect for discerning Houston residents and business owners.
Houston Metal Roof Maintenance
Overall, metal roofing can save you a great deal on repairs and maintenance compared to traditional roofing surfaces. Of course, regular maintenance can also extend the lifespan of your metal roof far beyond that of a shingle or tile roof as well.
