Question 1

Why is metal roofing ideal for Lubbock properties?

Accepted Answer

Metal roofing excels in Lubbock's South Plains climate due to superior wind resistance (140+ mph ratings), Class A fire resistance, exceptional hail resistance with dent-resistant coatings, 50+ year lifespan, and energy efficiency from reflective coatings. Metal roofs withstand Lubbock's 7-10 annual hailstorms, extreme temperature swings, and sustained high winds better than any other roofing material.

Question 2

How long does metal roofing last in Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

Metal roofing systems typically last 50-70 years in Lubbock when properly installed. Standing seam metal roofs often outlast the buildings they protect. Unlike asphalt shingles that deteriorate in South Plains UV exposure, metal roofing maintains performance decade after decade. Many metal roofs installed in the 1970s-80s still perform excellently today.

Question 3

Is metal roofing energy-efficient for Lubbock homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, metal roofing with reflective coatings significantly reduces cooling costs in Lubbock's hot climate. Cool-roof metal systems reflect solar radiation and re-emit absorbed heat, keeping buildings 10-15 degrees cooler. Lubbock property owners typically see 20-40% reductions in summer cooling expenses. Metal roofing qualifies for energy efficiency tax credits.

Question 4

How much does metal roofing cost in Lubbock?

Accepted Answer

Metal roofing in Lubbock typically costs $7-15 per square foot installed, depending on metal type, profile, coating, and roof complexity. Standing seam metal is premium ($12-15/sq ft), while R-panel and corrugated options are more economical ($7-10/sq ft). While initial costs exceed asphalt shingles, metal roofing's 50+ year lifespan and low maintenance provide superior long-term value.

Question 5

Can metal roofing withstand Lubbock's hailstorms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, metal roofing with proper gauge thickness and dent-resistant coatings provides excellent hail protection for Lubbock's 7-10 annual hailstorms. 26-gauge steel with Kynar coatings resists denting from golf ball-sized hail. Stone-coated metal shingles offer additional impact protection. Many insurance companies offer premium discounts for impact-resistant metal roofing installations.
