How the Installation Actually Unfolds

The crew arrives with materials selected for your roof's pitch and layout, and the deck is prepped to ensure it's level, dry, and structurally sound. In Ben Wheeler, where homes range from low-slope ranch styles to steeper traditional builds, ventilation placement and underlayment type are adjusted to match airflow needs and local weather patterns.


Once the roof is installed, you'll see clean lines, properly aligned panels or shingles, and flashing that diverts water away from valleys and penetrations. The roof will shed rain quickly and resist uplift during storms. Attic temperatures drop noticeably with metal systems, and shingle roofs perform quietly with proper nailing patterns.


Custom Metal Roofing follows a preparation-focused process that prioritizes long-term performance over speed. Insurance is not involved unless you request it, and the team works directly with homeowners to keep the project straightforward and transparent from start to finish.

What Homeowners Usually Want to Know First

Before committing to an installation, most people ask about timing, material differences, and what happens if the weather changes mid-project.

How long does a full roof installation take?
Most residential roof installations in Ben Wheeler take two to five days depending on roof size, pitch, and material type. Metal roofs may take slightly longer due to custom panel fabrication and detail work around penetrations.
What roofing materials does Custom Metal Roofing install?
The team installs standing seam metal, corrugated metal, architectural shingles, and three-tab shingles. Metal roofing is the specialty, but all residential roof types are handled with the same level of care and experience.
What happens if it rains during installation?
The crew monitors weather closely and covers exposed areas with tarps if rain is expected. If the deck is already protected with underlayment, light rain won't stop the work, but heavy storms may pause installation until conditions are safe.
Why does ventilation matter during a roof install?
Proper ventilation prevents heat and moisture buildup in your attic, which can warp decking, grow mold, and reduce your roof's lifespan. Ridge vents, soffit vents, and gable vents are positioned during installation to maintain balanced airflow year-round.
How is the old roof handled if this is a replacement project?
If you're replacing an existing roof, the old material is stripped down to the deck, hauled off-site, and disposed of properly. The deck is then inspected and repaired before the new roof goes on.
