Metal Roofing in Lost Bayou, Galveston: what actually fails
A side-gabled Lost Bayou cottage is the simplest historic roof for metal on the island: two planes, few penetrations. It still needs the district review, and the fasteners still need to suit salt air.
Late 1800s to early 1900s, designated in 1994, the youngest of the City's historic districts; a merchant tailor, Adolph Nitsch, built a tenant cottage here.
- Rusted drip edge along the eaves
- Side-gabled cottage roofs, eave to ridge
- Gable ends and rake metal
- District review for a replacement

- 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.

Call (409) 683-9988Note 01What gauge metal roof panels should I use?
A Galveston homeowner asked for 24 to 26 gauge R-panels over a porch, and that is the right range to be discussing; the lower number is the heavier panel. Whatever is chosen, the gauge, the coating and the fasteners belong on the written quote.
Note 02Do 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.
Note 03Why don't more people use metal roofs?
Mostly the up-front price: about $4 to $30 a square foot nationally, against $1 to $4 for asphalt shingle. Metal is rated at 40 to 70 years against 15 to 30, so it makes most sense for an owner who plans to stay long enough to see the difference.
