Metal Roofing in Amarillo

Standing seam costs more, $18,000 to $35,000 on a typical Panhandle home against $10,000 to $20,000 for exposed-fastener metal, and it hides its fasteners; exposed-fastener panels such as R-panel are screwed through the face. Per square foot installed, statewide Texas prices run $7.50–$9.00 for corrugated steel and $9.50–$11.50 for standing seam, with 26-gauge panels the sweet spot for most Texas homes; in Amarillo, standing seam and stone-coated steel each run $8–$14.

Yes, as a complete and separate metal roofing system: it's the one exception to the tear-off rule. Amarillo says new roof coverings can't be installed without removing existing layers, with exceptions for complete and separate metal roofing systems, and tells homeowners to check the current code details. Any roofing job over one square still needs a permit. Ask the company whether it plans a tear-off or a separate system, and why; the permit guide lists the other checks.

Well: standing seam has excellent hail resistance, and it turns hail from a replacement event into a cosmetic one, so ask how the finish and warranty treat dents. In standing seam, a 2,800 sq ft two-story home with a cut-up roofline comes to $28,000 to $35,000. Wind is the other test: Panhandle winds of 50 mph or more occur every year. Compare the total with a new shingle roof.

Cheaper panels usually win on outbuildings. R-panel systems for shops and barns run well under standing seam, and small sections such as patio covers and porches under about 500 sq ft almost always make more sense in corrugated. Mention outbuildings in your request so they are measured on the same visit. Costs for the house itself are in the Amarillo roof cost guide.
