McElroy Metal Standing Seam Snap Lock Roof Installation | Steep-Pitch Galvalume Metal Roofing with Color-Matched Trim
This Cedar Creek home received a full McElroy Metal standing seam roof. We used the 1.5" Sure Lock snap lock panel with a clip system and a 16.5" pan width. The concealed clips let the metal expand and contract during 100-degree summers without loosening. A hidden-fastener standing seam roof suits Colorado Drive homes because it sheds hail, resists cedar pollen buildup, and lasts decades longer than asphalt shingles.

This project started as a referral within our own book of business. The lead came in April 22, 2021 through one of our salesmen who had worked with the homeowner before. That past relationship set an easy, trusting tone from the first call.
We inspected the existing roof and mapped out its steep, multi-plane layout. The pitch measured 8/12 and 9/12 across different sections, which shaped the whole approach. We confirmed a standing seam metal system was the right long-term answer for a hail-exposed Cedar Creek home.
We put together a McElroy Metal standing seam scope built on the 1.5" Sure Lock snap lock panel. Color selections for the panels and trim were finalized during planning. The homeowner approved the project on November 29, 2022.
The install ran two days, finishing December 22, 2022. The crew laid Rhino U20 underlayment, then snapped Galvalium panels into place plane by plane using the clip system. Steep-pitch staging and careful flashing at valleys, headwalls, hips, and ridges rounded out the work.
We completed the roof the same day the install wrapped, December 22, 2022, and invoiced it that day. The finished standing seam roof carried color-matched eave, rake, hip, and ridge metal with no exposed fasteners. The file closed on December 30, 2022.
We replaced the aging roof on this Colorado Drive home in Cedar Creek, TX with a McElroy Metal standing seam system. The result is a hidden-fastener metal roof built to shrug off Central Texas heat and hail for decades.
The homeowner had lived through enough hail seasons to know shingles were a losing battle out here. Metal was the long-term fix. A standing seam roof carries no exposed screws on the face, so there's nothing to loosen or rust over time.
This roof is steep. The worksheet carries steep fees for both 8/12 and 9/12 pitch sections, which tells the real story of the job. Two crew members walked a roof that drops fast in more than one plane, and that pitch drives almost every decision after it. Steep metal work needs careful staging, more fall protection, and slower panel handling so nothing slides. It also means the roof sheds water and debris well, which matters when cedar pollen coats everything each spring.
We built the system around McElroy's 1.5" Sure Lock snap lock panel run over the whole roof. Under it we laid InterWrap Rhino U20 synthetic underlayment for a tough, tear-resistant base. The 21" Galvalume coil forms the panels, and butyl tape seals the seams where water likes to sneak in.
The clip system is the part homeowners rarely think about but get wrong. Metal expands and contracts a lot when a roof bakes past 100 degrees, then cools overnight. Fixed fasteners fight that movement and eventually fail. Snap lock clips let the panels float, so the roof breathes through Central Texas heat swings without stressing the metal or the fasteners.
We kept a tight crew and worked the roof plane by plane. Panels went down over the underlayment, clipped and snapped as we climbed each pitch. The steep sections slowed the pace, but staging carefully beat rushing on a 9/12 face.
The home now wears a clean standing seam roof with no visible fasteners and full color-matched trim. It handles hail impact, sheds pollen and debris, and won't curl or blow off like the old shingles did. The job ran from a December 22 start to same-week completion, with the file closed December 30, 2022.
A properly installed standing seam roof commonly lasts 40 to 60 years. Galvalume panels resist corrosion, and the floating clip design keeps them stable through our extreme heat cycles.
For a hail-prone area like this, yes. Metal takes impact and UV far better than asphalt, and it doesn't trap cedar pollen and debris the way granular shingles can.
This job fell in the $40k–$50k range. Steep pitch, custom flashing, and premium McElroy Metal panels all factor into a standing seam price versus a basic shingle roof.
The homeowner approved the work on November 29, 2022, and we completed it December 22, 2022. That's under a month from approval to a finished roof, which is quick for a custom metal system.
