Why people choose standing seam
- No exposed screws, so there are no screw washers to age in the sun
- Clean lines that suit modern farmhouses, lake houses and Hill Country-style homes
- A long service life when it's installed with the right clips, underlayment and flashing
- Works with solar because seam clamps attach without drilling the panels (ask your solar installer)
Details we'll talk through with you
- Snap-lock or mechanically seamed. Mechanically seamed panels are folded together with a seaming tool. The right choice depends on pitch and wind exposure.
- Panel gauge. We install 24- or 26-gauge standing seam panels.
- Finish. Bare Galvalume, or a painted finish in the color you want.
- Thermal movement. Long panels expand and contract, so clips and trim have to let them move.
- Impact ratings. Some standing seam panels are UL 2218 listed. If the insurance credit matters to you, we'll show you which ones.
Formed on the jobsite, installed by our own crew
We form our standing seam panels on our own roll formers and standing seam machine, right on the jobsite, and our own crew installs them. Most roofers order standing seam panels from a supplier and wait on that shop's schedule. Running our own panels lets us control the panel and the timing, and the crew that installs them works for us, not a subcontractor.
Gauge: 26. We run all metal profiles, including snap-lock and mechanically seamed standing seam and R-panel.

Lake houses and open land
Lake Bridgeport, Possum Kingdom and the open ranch land around Jacksboro and Bowie all get strong, unobstructed wind. On these jobs we pay extra attention to how edges, eaves and ridges are fastened. See our Runaway Bay & Lake Bridgeport and Possum Kingdom Lake pages.
Residential warranty: a workmanship warranty from 10 years up to lifetime, depending on the job, with manufacturer warranties up to lifetime. Manufacturer coverage depends on the product and brand, and on the project qualifying for that manufacturer's program. We put the exact warranty for your roof in writing.
