New Braunfels Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in New Braunfels, TX for residential and commercial properties across the southern Hill Country. There are two metal roofs, and people shopping for one usually do not know which they are being quoted. Exposed-fastener panel puts screws through the face of the steel. Standing seam hides the attachment inside the rib. They are different products with different lives.
The difference is movement. A steel panel thirty feet long grows and shrinks about a quarter of an inch across a hundred-degree swing between a January night and an August afternoon, and this valley delivers that swing routinely. Exposed-fastener panel has to absorb the movement at every screw, and the hole slowly becomes wider than the shank. That is a small number until you multiply it by ten thousand cycles.
Standing seam answers it with a floating clip. The clip is fastened to the deck, the panel is locked to the clip, and a tab inside the clip lets the panel slide as it travels. Get the clip type wrong, or use a fixed clip on a long run, and you have bought an expensive exposed-fastener roof that will still tear its own holes open. We name the clip on the proposal for that reason.
So when someone asks whether exposed-fastener panel is a mistake, the answer depends on the run. On a barn, a shop or a porch with short panel lengths and easy access, PBR at a fair price is a sensible roof. On a two-story house with thirty-foot runs it commits you to a fastener retrofit somewhere around year twelve, which belongs in the comparison. Panel length, not the material, is what should drive that decision.
The rest of the specification is finish and gauge. Kynar 500 PVDF holds color where a polyester finish chalks within a decade under this sun. Twenty-four gauge resists denting and oil-canning better than twenty-six. Snap-lock seams suit slopes of three in twelve and above; below that we mechanically seam a double lock with sealant rolled into it. Striated pans are worth asking for on any wide, flat profile.
Underneath, the deck gets a high-temperature self-adhered membrane, not felt. Panel roofs run hot, and ordinary underlayment turns brittle and stops sealing around fasteners within a few summers. That layer is the part nobody sees, nobody compares between bids, and often the largest real difference between two quotes that read alike. We list the underlayment by name and coverage on the estimate so you can compare it against whatever the other quote left blank.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, high-temperature self-adhered underlayment, butyl tape sidelap sealant — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Braunfels and nearby communities including Seguin, San Marcos, Kyle, Schertz.

Materials, equipment and how we do metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with 24-gauge striated standing seam panel, PBR exposed-fastener panel, floating clips at panel mid-span, bonded EPDM washers under fastener heads, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Braunfels job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the southern Hill Country means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
