What metal roof problems do you fix?
Most metal roof issues come down to a few culprits, and nearly all are fixable without a full replacement. If your roof is only a section away from another good decade, a repair is almost always the smarter call, and we'll tell you honestly when that's the case.
| Problem | What's usually going on |
|---|---|
| Leaks around penetrations | Chimneys, vents, and skylights are the usual suspects, meaning failed flashing or sealant, not the panels themselves. |
| Loose or backed-out screws | On exposed-fastener roofs, rubber washers dry out in Texas heat and screws work loose. Very fixable. |
| Separated or lifted seams | Wind and thermal movement can open a seam. Caught early, it is a repair, not a replacement. |
| Damaged or dented panels | Hail and fallen limbs. Individual panels can often be replaced without redoing the roof. |
| Worn sealant and flashing | Sealant has a shorter life than the metal. Refreshing it prevents the leak before it starts. |
| Rusted or cut edges | Usually at cut edges or scratches. Treatable if caught before it spreads. |
Do you handle storm and hail damage?
Yes, and in Georgetown that is most of what we do. National Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center records log 104 hail events within 10 miles of Georgetown since 2004, plus 111 wind reports. Hail dents panels, chips finishes, and loosens fasteners even when nothing looks wrong from the driveway. We offer free storm inspections, document what we find for your insurer, and can meet your adjuster on site.
Most hail denting on metal is cosmetic rather than structural, which is exactly why metal holds up so well here. It is still worth having looked at, and it is often covered by your policy. See our hail and insurance claim guide for how the process works.
What actually fails on a metal roof in Georgetown?
Wind, more often than hail. On 19 May 2026 a storm line put 74 mph straight-line winds through Georgetown, with 64 mph recorded at the automated station at Georgetown Municipal Airport and 70 mph reported at SH 130 and I-35, where street lights and signs went over. Two miles east of Serenada, the National Weather Service logged the damage in one sentence:
“Metal roof panels mostly torn from service station canopy.”

We are not going to pretend that did not happen. A metal roof is not indestructible, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling. What that report actually shows is a failure at the edges and the fasteners, not through the panel. Wind gets under a poorly terminated edge, lifts it, and peels the panel back. The panel itself is usually fine when it lands.
That is the whole argument for paying attention to how a metal roof is attached rather than what gauge it is. Properly seamed edges, correct clip spacing, and a real termination detail at the eave and rake are what keep a panel down at 74 mph. It is also why the first thing we check after a wind event is the perimeter, not the field.
The other Georgetown pattern worth knowing: April brings the most hail, September brings the biggest. Forty-three of those 104 reports landed in April. September has only 24, but weighted by stone size it averages 2.8 inches against April's 1.4. So a spring storm is more likely to have touched your roof, and a fall storm is more likely to have hurt it.
How do I know if my metal roof is damaged?
Worth a call if you notice any of these, especially after a storm:
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Visible dents or dimples after a hailstorm
- Screws sitting proud of the panel surface
- Lifted, separated, or rippling seams
- Paint flecks or granules collecting in your gutters
- Daylight visible in the attic
Please don't climb up to check yourself. Metal roofs are slick, and a free inspection costs you nothing. Catching a small leak now beats paying for water damage later.
Should I repair or replace my metal roof?
It depends on the age and extent of the problem. A localized leak or a handful of loose fasteners on an otherwise sound roof is a repair. Widespread hail damage, a roof near the end of its life, or repeated leaks in different spots usually points to replacement, often insurance-assisted after a storm. We'll give you the honest answer, not the more expensive one. Learn about metal roof replacement.
How much does metal roof repair cost?
It varies with the problem. A simple sealant or fastener fix is minor, while storm repairs depend on the damage and whether insurance is involved. We won't quote a repair blind; the free inspection is how we give you a real number. Call (737) 320-3400 and we'll come take a look.
