What We Did
24 Gauge McElroy Metal Standing Seam Roof Installation · New James Hardie 6" Fiber Cement Fascia Upgrade
Metal Roofing
This Granger, TX metal roofing project used McElroy Metal's 1.5" Rib Striated Standing Seam panels. The 24-gauge steel stands up to hail, high heat, and hard sun far better than shingles. Standing seam hides its fasteners under the panels, so there are fewer spots for leaks to start. We finished the whole install in one day and left the home with decades of protection ahead of it.

For this Granger, TX siding work, we added James Hardie 6" fiber cement fascia at the roofline. Fiber cement resists rot, pests, and swelling far better than the wood fascia common on older homes. It pairs well with a metal roof and holds paint for years in Central Texas weather. The result is a crisp, low-maintenance edge that ties the whole roof system together.

How It Went
The Journey
From the first phone call to the final walkthrough — what actually happened on this project.
First contact
March 30, 2022The homeowner reached out to Austin Pro on March 30, 2022, through a customer referral. They wanted a long-lasting roof that could handle Central Texas storms. We moved the lead to prospect the next day, March 31, and started planning the metal roofing options.
Evaluation
We assessed the home's roofline and exposure, common in open Granger lots that take heavy hail and sun. The inspection showed the home was a strong candidate for standing seam metal. We also flagged the existing fascia for replacement to support the new roof edge.
Planning & approval
April 22, 2022We walked the homeowner through panel choices and settled on a McElroy Metal 24 gauge standing seam panel with a 1.5" rib striated profile. New James Hardie 6" fascia was added to the scope. The project was approved on April 22, 2022.
Installation
June 1, 2022Our crew completed the install in a focused push on June 1, 2022, pulling materials from McCoy's and ABC Supply Co. We set the standing seam panels with concealed clips for clean, straight lines. New James Hardie fascia was installed around the roofline to finish the edges.
Completion
June 1, 2022We finished and invoiced the project on June 1, 2022, leaving the homeowner with a durable metal roof and fresh fascia. The standing seam panels are built to handle hail, heavy rain, and 100-degree summers. The job closed out on January 24, 2023.

The Full Story
Inside This Project
Why did this Granger home need metal roofing?
The homeowner came to us through a customer referral, looking for a roof that could outlast the usual asphalt cycle. Granger sits in open country where storms roll through hard. A standing seam metal roof handles that better than most options.
- Lead came in March 30, 2022, then moved to prospect March 31
- Central Texas hail and 100-degree summers wear shingles down fast
- Metal reflects heat and sheds heavy rain quickly
- The homeowner wanted a long-term roof, not another short-term patch
What metal panel did we use, and why?
We went with a McElroy Metal 24 gauge standing seam panel in a 1.5" rib striated profile. The 24 gauge steel is thick and stands up to impact. The striated finish helps hide oil canning, so the panels stay clean-looking in flat sun.
- 24 gauge steel for strength against hail
- 1.5" rib seams that lock tight and keep water out
- Striated panel face to reduce visible waviness
- Concealed fasteners for a smooth, modern look
Standing seam is a strong fit for Granger's exposed lots. The hidden fasteners mean fewer spots for leaks to start over time.
How did we finish the roofline?
A metal roof is only as good as its edges, so we installed new James Hardie 6" fascia around the roofline. Fiber cement holds up to heat, moisture, and cedar pollen far better than old wood. It also gives the new roof a clean, finished border.
- New James Hardie 6" fascia along the eaves
- Fiber cement resists rot, warping, and Texas humidity
- Solid backing for the gutter line
- A crisp edge that matches the upgraded roof
Wood fascia in this area tends to swell and crack after years of heat and storms. Hardie board avoids that problem.
How did the installation go?
The project was approved April 22, 2022, and we completed the install in a focused push on June 1, 2022. Our crew pulled materials from McCoy's and ABC Supply Co. to keep the job moving. Standing seam work takes precision, and the team kept the panel lines straight and tight.
- Approved April 22, 2022
- Completed and invoiced June 1, 2022
- Materials sourced through McCoy's and ABC Supply Co.
- Panels seamed and fastened with concealed clips
What were the results?
The homeowner ended up with a metal roof built to last decades, not years. The standing seam panels shed water fast and stand up to hail. The new fascia ties it all together with a clean, durable edge.
- A 24 gauge standing seam roof rated for tough Central Texas weather
- Reduced heat gain in 100-degree summers
- Fresh James Hardie fascia for long-term edge protection
- A finished look the homeowner can count on for years
Straight Answers
Questions About This Project
How long does a standing seam metal roof last in Central Texas?
A 24 gauge standing seam roof like this one can last 40 to 50 years with proper care. The hidden fasteners and thick steel hold up well against hail and heat.
Is metal roofing worth it for Granger homes?
Yes, especially on open lots that take the full brunt of storms. Metal sheds rain fast, resists hail, and reflects summer heat better than asphalt shingles.
How much does a metal roof like this cost?
This project landed in the $30k to $40k range. Final pricing depends on roof size, pitch, and added work like new fascia.
Why add new fascia with a metal roof?
Old wood fascia often rots or warps after years of Texas heat and moisture. New James Hardie fiber cement fascia gives the roof edge a solid, weather-tight finish.
