McElroy Metal 1.5" Rib Striated Standing Seam Roof Installation | Rot-Resistant James Hardie 6" Fascia Replacement
This Granger metal roofing project replaced an aging roof with a McElroy Metal Standing Seam system built around the 1.5" Rib Striated Standing Seam panel — a profile chosen for its concealed fasteners, strength, and long service life under brutal Central Texas sun. Standing seam holds up far better than asphalt in our climate, where 100-degree summers and hailstorms wear roofs down fast. We paired the new roof with James Hardie 6" fascia to keep the trim crisp and rot-resistant. For homeowners searching for metal roofing in Granger, TX, this is the kind of system that delivers decades of low-maintenance protection.

This project started with a customer referral that came in on March 30, 2022 — one of the strongest signals a contractor can get. The homeowner reached out wanting a long-term roofing solution for their exposed home on County Road 301 in Granger. We moved quickly, getting them into our prospect pipeline by March 31.
During the assessment we inspected the existing roof covering, the deck condition, and the wood fascia along the eaves. The fascia showed the wear common in our climate — moisture cycling that eventually leads to swelling and rot. The home's open, unshaded exposure confirmed that a durable, hail-resistant metal system was the right call.
We specified a McElroy Metal Standing Seam system in the 1.5" Rib Striated profile, paired with new James Hardie 6" fascia. The homeowner approved the scope on April 22, 2022, locking in both the roofing panel and the fascia replacement as a single coordinated project.
The crew completed the full install on June 1, 2022. They tore off the old covering, set the McElroy standing seam panels with concealed fasteners, and detailed the flashing at every transition. They finished by replacing the old wood fascia with rot-resistant James Hardie 6" fascia. Materials were sourced through McCoy's and ABC Supply.
The project was invoiced the same day it completed on June 1, 2022, with a finished standing seam roof and crisp new fascia tying the exterior together. The homeowner walked away with a roof built to handle decades of Central Texas heat and hail. We formally closed the job in January 2023.
Out on County Road 301 in Granger, this homeowner came to us through a referral — the best kind of lead, because it usually means someone trusted us enough to send a neighbor our way. The existing roof had served its time, and out here in rural Williamson County, a roof takes a beating. Open exposure means full sun, wind-driven rain, and the hail that rolls through Central Texas every spring. The homeowner wanted something they wouldn't have to think about again for a very long time.
That's almost always where the conversation lands on metal roofing. It costs more up front than asphalt. It also tends to outlive the homeowner's time in the house.
The lead came in on March 30, 2022, and we had the property assessed and into our prospect pipeline by the next day. The home sits exposed, which is great for curb appeal and rough on a roof. No tree canopy means relentless UV and direct hail impact during storm season.
During the walkthrough we checked more than just the roof field:
The fascia was a clear add to the scope. Wood fascia in this climate eventually swells, splits, and invites moisture behind the gutter line. Replacing it during a reroof is the smart move — you've already got crews up there, and you want the new roof tying into solid, rot-resistant trim.
We specified a McElroy Metal Standing Seam Metal Roofing Panel in the 1.5" Rib Striated Standing Seam profile. A few reasons that panel made sense for this home:
McElroy is a manufacturer we trust for standing seam, and their panel quality matched what this homeowner was after: a roof measured in decades, not warranty years.
For the trim, we went with James Hardie 6" fascia. Fiber cement fascia doesn't rot, doesn't feed termites, and holds paint far longer than wood. It's the same logic that makes Hardie the go-to for siding across Central Texas — it's engineered for exactly our mix of heat, humidity swings, and pests.
This was a focused, single-day install on June 1, 2022. Standing seam done right is methodical work, and the crew ran it cleanly:
Materials came through McCoy's and ABC Supply, our standard suppliers for jobs in this area. Having reliable material flow matters on a metal roof — panel runs need to be right, and you don't want substitutions mid-install.
When the crew cleared out, the home had a complete standing seam metal roof and crisp new fascia tying the whole exterior together. This homeowner now has a roof that:
The project invoiced the same day it completed, and we formally closed it out in January 2023. Start to finish, it was the kind of clean job that referrals are built on.
Many homes out here were built in the era when asphalt was the default. Those roofs are aging out now, and every reroof is a decision point: do it again in 15 years, or do it once. Standing seam metal costs more at install, but the math favors it the longer you stay in the home. No granule loss. No repeated hail claims. No fastener maintenance.
If you're weighing a roof replacement in Granger or anywhere across Williamson County, it's worth pricing standing seam alongside shingle roofing. And while crews are up on the roof, it's the right time to address fascia and gutters too — knock out the whole eave system in one trip.
