Built to Last Through Storms and Heat

Residential Roof Installation in Ben Wheeler, Texas

If you're considering a metal roof for your home in Ben Wheeler, you're looking at a roofing system designed to withstand the heat, wind, and hail that hit East Texas year after year. Custom Metal Roofing fabricates standing seam panels on-site to match your home's measurements, reducing the number of seams and fasteners exposed to weather over time.


The panels are custom-cut to your roof's dimensions and installed with concealed fasteners, which means fewer entry points for water and less thermal expansion stress. This type of installation matters in Ben Wheeler, where summer roof surface temperatures regularly exceed 150 degrees and storm winds can lift improperly fastened materials. The system is designed for homes where long-term performance outweighs the need for frequent repairs.

What Changes After Installation Is Complete

Once the installation begins, your old roofing is removed and the deck is inspected for soft spots or damage before underlayment and panels go down. In Ben Wheeler, roof pitches and ventilation setups vary across older ranch homes and newer builds, so flashing and penetration details are adjusted to match your home's design. Each panel locks into the next, forming a continuous surface from ridge to eave.


After the work is finished, you'll notice the roof sheds water quickly during storms and reflects more sunlight than asphalt, which reduces attic heat. Custom metal systems provide long-term performance and reduced maintenance. The roof will expand and contract with temperature shifts without breaking seals or lifting fasteners.


Custom Metal Roofing installs with attention to every flashing detail and penetration point, and the team works with 11 years of hands-on experience in residential metal installation. The work is backed by full licensing and insurance, and the repair-first mindset means you'll only be recommended an upgrade when your current roof can no longer be saved.

Questions That Come Up Before You Commit

Homeowners often ask about noise, cost, and whether metal really holds up better than shingles in Texas conditions.

What makes standing seam metal different from other metal roofing?
Standing seam panels lock together vertically with no exposed fasteners, which reduces leak points and allows the metal to expand and contract without stress. The seams stand raised above the panel surface, directing water downward instead of pooling.
How long does a custom metal roof typically last in East Texas?
When installed correctly, a metal roof can last 40 to 60 years with minimal maintenance. The material resists rust, doesn't crack from heat, and holds up well against hail when properly gauged.
Why is custom fabrication better than pre-cut panels?
Custom fabrication means the panels are cut to your roof's exact length on-site, reducing seams and joints where leaks commonly start. It also allows for tighter tolerances around chimneys, vents, and valleys.
What happens to the old roof during installation?
Your existing roof is removed completely, and the deck is inspected for rot or structural issues before new underlayment and metal panels are installed. Any damaged decking is replaced before the metal goes down.
How does metal roofing perform during hailstorms?
Metal roofs resist puncture better than asphalt and won't lose granules or crack under impact. Depending on the gauge and coating, most metal roofs will dent slightly under large hail but remain watertight and functional.

If your current roof in Ben Wheeler is nearing the end of its life or you're ready to move away from constant repairs, Custom Metal Roofing can walk you through your options and provide a detailed estimate based on your home's layout.
