Scope of work

Metal, weighed fairly against asphalt

Metal is the long-hold choice. A standing seam system runs decades past any asphalt shingle, sheds heat better under Texas sun, and takes most hail without opening up. The tradeoff is up-front price: roughly double a Class 4 asphalt roof on the same house.

That math lands differently for different owners, which is why the estimate prices metal beside the asphalt tiers instead of pitching it. The roofer walks both numbers with you, lifespan against outlay, and either answer is a fine one. Cosmetic denting in extreme hail is part of the honest picture too: the roof survives, the mirror finish may not.

Metal roofing questions

The tradeoffs McKinney owners weigh before going metal.

In McKinney, roughly double a Class 4 asphalt roof: the cost table carries the current per-tier ranges. The gap narrows over time because the metal roof is usually the last one the house needs.
Not over living space. Panels go over solid decking and underlayment, not open framing like a barn, so rain reads about the same as it does on asphalt. The barn-roof drum effect is the most durable myth in the category.
It rarely breaches one. Big stones can leave cosmetic dents, especially on flat panel faces, but the roof keeps water out where an asphalt mat would have cracked. Some policies treat cosmetic denting differently, which is worth checking before you buy.
Sometimes code allows it, but the honest answer is usually tear off first: it lets the roofer fix decking, keeps weight down, and avoids trapping heat and moisture between layers. The estimate prices it the right way, not the shortcut way.
