Steel Panels: $7-12 per sq ft installed

Types of Metal Roofing

1. Standing Seam Metal Roofs

The premium choice. Vertical ribs with hidden fasteners. Most weather-tight. Best for Tulsa’s freeze-thaw cycles.

2. Metal Shingles

Designed to look like slate or shake. Combine aesthetics with durability. Great for HOA neighborhoods.

3. Stone-Coated Steel

Tiles coated with stone chips. Excellent for Mediterranean or Spanish-style homes. Also called “metal tile.”

4. Agricultural Panels (AG Panels)

Corrugated metal. Most affordable but utilitarian look. Common on barns and sheds.

Pros for Oklahoma

Cons to Consider

Energy Savings

Tulsa summer electric bills drop 10-25% with metal roofs. The reflective coating (cool roof technology) bounces back solar heat. Combined with proper ventilation, this significantly reduces AC workload.

Warranties

Proof Construction offers manufacturer paint warranties of 30-40 years, leak-free warranties of 10-20 years, and workmanship warranties of 5-10 years. Ask about transferable warranties if you sell your home.

Is a Metal Roof Right for You?

Choose metal if: You plan to stay 15+ years, your HOA allows it, you want long-term durability, or energy efficiency matters.

Choose shingles if: Budget is tight upfront, you’re selling in 5-10 years, or your roof needs replacement now.
