Metal Roofing in Silk Stocking, Galveston: what actually fails
On a Silk Stocking Queen Anne, metal is a big decision: towers, many planes and many valleys, each one custom flashing in metal. The district review comes first, and where a house has a simpler porch or rear roof, metal there is often the place to start.
Late 19th and early 20th century, designated a historic district in 1975; one listed house there was home to Fred W. Hoecker in 1908.
- Valley count and condition on every plane

Call (409) 683-9988Note 01How 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 02What 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 03What is the downside to a metal roof?
Cost up front: in Galveston metal is published at $14,000 to $30,000 against $9,500 to $22,000 for architectural shingle. On the island the fasteners and washers also need checking over the years, because salt air reaches them first.
