Metal Roofing in East End, Galveston: what actually fails

Metal is one of the materials East End houses were historically roofed with, alongside slate, wood shingle and composition. A metal roof here still goes through the Landmark Commission, and the panel profile and color matter as much as the gauge.

Built from the 1840s through the late 19th century and designated a historic district in 1971, the oldest of the City's local districts.

  • Old framing and sheathing, seen from the attic
  • Slate, metal or wood shingle, identified first
  • Landmark Commission review asked about up front
  • Chimneys and dormers on 1800s houses

04Before we arrive

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder

  1. Catch the water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few photographs of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
  2. Note the wind when it leaksIn every rain, or only when the wind blows from one side. That one detail points at a wall flashing or an eave before anybody climbs a ladder.

Note 01Does a metal roof rust near the beach?

It can, which is why the coating, the gauge and the fasteners matter more here than inland. Exposed-fastener panels depend on their screws and washers, and those are what salt air reaches first. The quote should name all three.

Note 02How much does it cost to put a metal roof on a 2,000 sq ft house?

Published Galveston figures put metal at about $7.00 to $15.00 a square foot, or $14,000 to $30,000 for a typical house. A 2,000-square-foot house usually sits toward the middle or upper part of that, but roof area, pitch and valleys decide it, not floor area.

Note 03Do you repair metal roofs?

Yes. A lifted panel, a screw line with failed washers or a corroded flashing at a wall is a repair, priced on its own like any other job.
