Metal Roofing in Longview TX
Metal roofing is becoming increasingly popular in Longview for good reason—it offers exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and a distinctive look that enhances any home. At Gordy Roofing, we've been installing metal roofs throughout East Texas since 1968, and we've seen firsthand how well they perform in our challenging climate.
A quality metal roof can last 50 years or more—often 2-3 times longer than traditional asphalt shingles. Metal roofs also reflect solar heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 20-30% in Longview's hot summers. They're virtually maintenance-free, resist hail and high winds better than most materials, and won't rot, crack, or attract insects.
We offer several metal roofing options to suit different styles and budgets. Standing seam metal roofs provide the ultimate in durability and modern aesthetics with their clean vertical lines and hidden fasteners. Metal shingles mimic the look of traditional shingles, slate, or tile while offering metal's superior longevity. Stone-coated steel combines the beauty of traditional roofing with metal durability. Corrugated metal panels are excellent for agricultural buildings, workshops, and certain architectural styles.
Our metal roofing installations include premium underlayment, proper flashing, and expert attention to detail that ensures a weather-tight seal. We use quality fasteners and accessories designed specifically for metal roofing to prevent issues like oil-canning or thermal expansion problems.
Metal roofs are also environmentally friendly. Most contain 25-95% recycled material and are 100% recyclable at end of life. Compare that to the millions of tons of asphalt shingles sent to landfills annually.
Longview & East Texas Considerations
Metal roofing is particularly well-suited for Longview's climate. The reflective surface can reduce cooling costs by 20-30% in our hot summers—a significant savings when temperatures exceed 100°F for weeks at a time. Metal also resists the large hail common to East Texas better than any other material. With proper installation including appropriate underlayment and ventilation, a metal roof in Longview will last 50+ years with virtually no maintenance. We often recommend light colors or Galvalume finishes to maximize heat reflection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a metal roof cost in Longview?
Metal roofing in Longview typically costs $15,000 to $40,000+ for an average home, depending on roof size and material type. Standing seam costs $12-18 per square foot installed, while metal shingles run $8-14 per square foot. While upfront costs exceed asphalt, the 50+ year lifespan and energy savings often make metal more economical over time.
Is metal roofing noisy when it rains?
Not with proper installation. When installed over solid decking with appropriate underlayment (as we always do), a metal roof is no louder than other roofing types during rain. Some homeowners actually enjoy the subtle sound, but it's certainly not disruptive like metal roofs of decades past.
Does metal roofing attract lightning?
No. Metal roofs do not attract lightning any more than other materials. Metal is no more likely to be struck than shingles, tile, or wood. In fact, if lightning did strike, a metal roof safely disperses the electrical charge across its surface and will never catch fire—unlike other roofing materials.
Can you install a metal roof over existing shingles?
In some cases, yes, which can save on tear-off and disposal costs. However, we need to inspect your current roof to ensure the structure can support additional weight and there are no underlying issues (rot, improper ventilation) that need addressing first. We'll advise honestly on whether overlay or tear-off is best for your situation.
