Steel Roofing: A Durable and Eco-Friendly Roofing Option

Few roofing materials deliver the same combination of strength, energy efficiency, and sustainability as steel. At Bar H Contractors, we specialize in installing premium steel roofing systems across the Cross Timbers region—designed to protect your home, reduce energy costs, and support an eco-conscious future.

Built to Withstand Severe Texas Weather

Steel roofing offers unmatched resilience:

• Wind Resistance: Rated to withstand winds over 120 mph, steel roofs remain secure even during tornado-level storms.
• Hail Durability: Unlike asphalt shingles that crack under impact, steel panels resist hail damage—essential in Texas where hail storms are common.
• Fire Safety: Non-combustible and Class A fire–rated, steel roofs provide reliable protection if brush fires or lightning strikes occur.

With these advantages, your steel roof from Bar H Contractors becomes a sturdy shield against the Cross Timbers’ most intense elements.

Smart Energy Savings for Year‑Round Comfort

The reflective surface of steel roofing reflects a significant amount of solar radiation:

• Lower Cooling Demands: On hot Texas days, steel keeps your attic and living spaces up to 30% cooler compared to traditional materials.
• Reduced Energy Bills: According to the Department of Energy, reflective roofing can dramatically decrease home cooling needs—helping you save hundreds per year.
• Consistent Comfort: Less absorbed heat means your HVAC system maintains a steady temperature, reducing wear and extending its lifespan.

Over time, these savings can offset the initial investment and continue paying dividends for decades.

Low-Maintenance Longevity You Can Rely On

Steel roofing combines durability with minimal upkeep:

• Long Lifespan: Steel roofs can last over 50 years—compared to 15–20 years for asphalt shingles.
• Resistant to Common Threats: Steel won’t rot, warp, fade, or attract pests.
• Low Upkeep: Occasional gutter cleaning and a yearly inspection are typically all that’s needed to maintain performance and appearance.

This longevity means fewer replacements, less debris, and more time enjoying a beautiful, worry-free roof.

Greener Choice for Environmentally Minded Homeowners

Choosing steel benefits the planet:

• Recyclable Material: Steel roofs are 100% recyclable and often contain recycled content.
• Waste Reduction: Avoids frequent shingle replacements, leading to less construction waste.
• Eco-Friendly Manufacturing: Many steel roofs are made in facilities with sustainable production standards and minimal resource waste.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, choosing durable, recyclable building materials reduces the strain on landfills and conserves natural resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is steel roofing noisy during storms?
With a quality underlayment and insulation, steel roofs are as quiet as asphalt shingles—even during heavy hail.

Will steel rust over time?
Steel is factory-coated for corrosion resistance. Proper trim and gutter lines ensure water drains away cleanly, preventing rust.

Do panels come in many finishes?
Yes—choose from over 30 finishes, including matte, textured, and metallic options. We can show you sample boards so you can compare looks in natural light.

Is it more expensive than traditional roofing?
While steel roofs cost more upfront, they last longer, reduce energy costs, and enhance resale value—in many cases costing less over the lifetime.

Can steel be used on low-slope roofs?
Panels work best on pitches of 2:12 or above, but we evaluate each home individually and offer suitable solutions when lower slopes are needed.
