Metal Roofing in Lubbock, Midland & Odessa

In a climate where 60-mph wind, 100-degree summers, and golf-ball hail are all part of the same Tuesday afternoon, metal roofing is the smart choice for homeowners and property owners who want a roof that lasts a generation. Jones & Associates is the leading metal-roofing contractor in West Texas. We’ve been installing exposed-fastener panels, stone-coated steel, and standing-seam systems across the South Plains, the Permian Basin, and the Texas Panhandle for over three decades.

Exposed-fastener metal roofing — our primary system

The overwhelming majority of metal roofs Jones & Associates installs in West Texas are exposed-fastener systems — R-panel, PBR-panel, and corrugated steel screwed down through the panel face with hex-head fasteners and rubber gaskets. For roughly every 40 exposed-fastener metal roofs we install, we install one standing-seam. There are good reasons that ratio is so lopsided in this climate:

• Cost per square that makes sense for Texas budgets. Exposed-fastener panels typically install at 35–50% of the cost of standing-seam, which is what most West Texas property owners actually need when they’re comparing it to a high-end shingle roof.
• Proven hail and wind performance. 26-gauge and 24-gauge Galvalume panels with proper engineering carry Class 4 impact ratings and 140+ mph wind ratings, which is what you actually need in a hail belt.
• Easy to repair, easy to extend. If a tree branch comes through one panel in year 22, you replace one panel. A standing-seam repair is a much bigger job.
• 40+ years of paint warranty. Modern PVDF (Kynar 500) finishes are warrantied against chalk and fade for 30–40 years and routinely outlast the warranty in West Texas service.

We spec exposed-fastener systems with the right gauge metal, the right gasket compound, and the right fastener pattern for your wind zone — not the cheapest version of every spec line. When 39+ years from now someone is up there looking at the screws, they should still be doing their job.

Stone-coated steel — metal that looks like shingles, slate, or tile

Stone-coated steel roofing is a category we’ve been installing more and more of across the South Plains. It’s a steel panel with a fired stone-chip coating bonded to the surface, available in profiles that mimic asphalt shingles, wood shake, slate, or Spanish tile. Homeowners pick stone-coated steel when they want the curb appeal of a traditional roof system with the longevity, fire rating, and hail performance of metal underneath. Class 4 impact rated, Class A fire rated, 50-year limited warranty, and roughly 40% lighter than a comparable composition-shingle roof.

Stone-coated steel is a strong fit for higher-end Lubbock and Midland homes where the homeowner wants metal’s durability without the industrial look, and for HOA neighborhoods where standing-seam isn’t architecturally permitted. Ask about manufacturer lines like DECRA, Boral Steel, and Gerard when you call.

Standing seam — available as a premium upgrade

Standing-seam metal roofing — where the panel fasteners are concealed beneath the seam — is the highest-end metal system you can put on a home. We install it when the architecture calls for it and the budget supports it. For most West Texas customers, an exposed-fastener system delivers 90% of the performance for half the cost — so we don’t push standing seam unless it’s genuinely the right answer for your project. When it is, we install it correctly: concealed clips, proper expansion design, and trim details that don’t leak in 15 years.

Energy and noise — the two questions everyone asks

Modern metal roofing reflects more solar heat than dark asphalt shingles, which is a real difference on Lubbock summer afternoons when the attic temperature is the difference between a $200 electric bill and a $400 one. As for the noise question: a properly installed metal roof with the standard underlayment and decking is no louder inside the house than an asphalt shingle roof. The thing you’re thinking of is metal-on-bare-rafters, which is what people put on barns. Yours is going on a fully decked, fully underlayed surface.
