McElroy Metal 24-Gauge Galvalume Double Lock Standing Seam Roof | Full Custom Flashing and Vented Ridge System for Hill Country Weather
This Burnet home received a full metal roof using McElroy Metal 24-gauge Galvalume panels. We installed a double lock standing seam system over Epilay Ultra high-temp underlayment for extra heat protection. Galvalume was chosen for its rust resistance and its ability to handle Central Texas hail and heat. The finished roof sheds water fast, vents at the ridge, and carries flashing tuned to every valley and wall.

The homeowner first connected with Austin Pro through one of our canvassing sales reps in early May 2025. The lead came in on May 3, and by May 6 the project moved into the prospect stage. From that first talk, storm damage and a possible insurance claim were the main topics.
Our team inspected the existing roof and documented hail and heat damage across the field and flashing points. We mapped every valley, headwall, and pitch change, plus the stucco and stone wall transitions. Those findings shaped the flashing plan and confirmed a full replacement was needed.
The scope was built around McElroy Metal 24-gauge Galvalume in a double lock standing seam profile. Insurance approval came through on July 23, 2025, which cleared the way to order materials. We coordinated panel coil, underlayment, and gutter work before scheduling the crew.
The full roof was completed on August 13, 2025. Our lead installer ran the panel crew, laying Epilay Ultra underlayment, then locking in the standing seam panels with concealed clips. Custom Galvalume flashing, valley metal, and the vented ridge went in the same day, with G&J Seamless Rain Gutters handling the new gutters.
We finished with a walkthrough, final caulk sealing, and full site cleanup on August 13, 2025. The homeowner ended up with a fully vented, flashed metal roof built for decades of Hill Country weather.
We tore off a storm-battered roof in Burnet, TX and installed a full 24-gauge Galvalume double lock standing seam system from McElroy Metal. This insurance-covered job turned an aging, leak-prone roof into one built for decades of Hill Country weather.
The old roof had taken years of Central Texas storms and was no longer holding up. Insurance approved a full replacement, and the homeowner wanted something that wouldn't need doing again anytime soon.
When we got up on the roof, the story was clear. Years of hail hits and heat cycling had worn the surface past the point of patching. Hill Country homes take a beating that flatland roofs never see, and this one had the pitch changes and multiple valleys that give water plenty of places to sneak in. We mapped every headwall, valley, and stucco-to-roof transition before ordering a single panel. That planning is where most roofs fail later, because skipped flashing detail is the number one cause of leaks we get called back to fix.
We built the whole system around McElroy Metal 24-gauge Galvalume, using the double lock standing seam profile for the main field and 1.5" Sure Lock snap lock panels where they fit the layout better. Galvalume resists rust far better than bare steel, which matters when cedar pollen and rain sit on a roof for weeks.
Flashing is what separates a metal roof that lasts from one that leaks. We custom-fit Galvalume counterflashing for both the stucco and stone walls on this home, plus dedicated headwall and pitch change flashing at every transition.
The vented ridge matters more than people think. An unvented metal roof can trap attic heat past 130 degrees in a Burnet summer, which cooks the deck and drives up cooling bills. Getting air moving at the ridge protects the whole assembly.
The full roof went on in a single day on August 13, 2025. Our lead installer Jose Rangel ran the panel crew, and the tight scheduling let us finish before the afternoon heat peaked.
We also handled new gutters alongside the roof so runoff moves away from the limestone-heavy soil around the foundation. If you're weighing this against asphalt, our shingle roofing team can walk you through the tradeoffs.
A properly installed Galvalume standing seam roof can last 40 to 60 years here. The metal handles hail impact and heat cycling far better than asphalt, which often fails in 15 to 20 years around Burnet.
Double lock seams use hidden clips, so there are no exposed screws to back out or leak over time. That mechanical seam also handles the expansion and contraction from 100-degree days better than screw-down panels.
The lead came in early May 2025 and installation wrapped on August 13. Most of that gap was insurance approval, which landed July 23. The install itself was a single day.
Yes. Galvalume reflects more solar heat than dark asphalt, and the vented ridge we installed lets trapped attic air escape. Together they ease the load on your cooling system through the worst of summer.
