Why R-Panel

The Most Affordable Way Off Asphalt

R-panel is our most affordable way into metal roofing, built to last far longer than asphalt shingles.

Asphalt Shingles
Lifespan
Typically 15–20 years before a full replacement is needed.
Hail Resistance
No meaningful impact rating on standard shingles, hail damage is the most common claim in North Texas.
Insurance
No Class 4 discount available on standard asphalt.
Long-Term Cost
Lower upfront cost, but repeated replacement cycles over a 40-year ownership horizon.
R-Panel
Lifespan
40 to 60 years, two to three full asphalt cycles in one install.
Long-Term Cost
The lowest cost per square foot of any metal system we install, with metal-level durability.
An Honest Comparison

R-Panel vs. Standing Seam

We install both. Here's how we actually think about which one fits a given home, not a sales pitch for either.

Choose R-Panel If

You want the lowest cost per square foot of any metal roofing system, and you don't need the fully concealed fastener line standing seam offers. It's a genuine, durable metal roof at the most accessible price point.

Choose Standing Seam If

You want a longer lifespan (50–70 years vs. 40–60) and zero exposed fasteners, and the higher per-square-foot cost fits your budget. See the full standing seam guide →

Is R-panel a good long-term roofing option?

Yes. The tradeoff versus standing seam is the exposed fastener pattern, not the underlying durability of the steel.

How much does R-panel metal roofing cost per square foot in DFW?

R-panel is the most affordable metal roofing system we install, running about $7–$11 per square foot installed in the Dallas–Fort Worth market. Your exact number depends on roof size, pitch, and complexity, request a free estimate for your specific home.

Does an R-panel metal roof make the house hotter?
