Reliable Roofing That Stands the Test of Time

Corrugated metal roofing is one of the most durable, affordable, and weather-resistant roofing systems available. Whether you're a homeowner in Harlingen or a commercial property owner in Corpus Christi, this versatile roofing material delivers long-term performance under South Texas heat, wind, and rain. At Rio Roofers, we specialize in custom corrugated metal roof installations designed to enhance both protection and curb appeal.

What Is Corrugated Metal Roofing?

Corrugated metal roofing consists of galvanized steel or aluminum panels with a distinctive wavy pattern. This corrugation adds structural strength, allowing the roof to resist high winds and shed rainwater efficiently. Panels are often coated for added UV resistance and energy efficiency, making them ideal for homes and businesses throughout the Rio Grande Valley.

Corrugated metal roofs are popular for:

  • Warehouses and industrial buildings in McAllen

  • Coastal homes in Port Isabel and South Padre Island

  • Barns, sheds, and outbuildings in rural Starr and Cameron counties

  • Modern architectural homes seeking a sleek, industrial look

Residential vs. Commercial Corrugated Roofing

Corrugated metal works well across property types, but installation methods differ:

Residential Corrugated Roofing

  • Often installed over solid decking with insulation
  • Ideal for homes in Pharr, Mission, Edinburg
  • Can be painted to match home exteriors or left galvanized for contrast
  • Commonly used as accents (patio covers, awnings) or full roof replacements

Commercial Corrugated Roofing

  • Preferred for warehouses, garages, and agricultural facilities
  • Frequently installed over open framing or purlins
  • May incorporate skylight panels or roof vents
  • Compatible with retrofitting over existing flat roofs

Installation Process for Corrugated Metal Roofs

At Rio Roofers, we follow a highly organized, code-compliant process tailored to South Texas weather and building standards. Here's what to expect when working with our team:

  1. Roof Evaluation & Measurement

    We begin with a remote assessment using drone technology and satellite imagery to evaluate roof slope, framing, and ventilation. For complex projects that require an on-site inspection, a service trip fee of $99-$199 will apply depending on scope and time required. This initial evaluation ensures proper panel selection and layout.

  2. Tear-Off or Retrofit Decision

    Depending on your existing roof and budget, we'll either tear off the old roofing or install corrugated panels over it (common for barns and sheds).

  3. Underlayment Installation

    A high-temp synthetic underlayment is installed to act as a moisture barrier and provide added insulation.

  4. Panel Layout & Trimming

    We use full-length panels when possible to reduce seams. Ends and valleys are precision-trimmed for weather-tightness.

  5. Fastening & Sealing

    Screws with neoprene washers are driven into the flat sections, not the ridges, to prevent leaks. All penetrations are sealed with high-grade silicone.

  6. Ridge Cap & Flashing Finishing

    Ridge caps, edge metal, and flashing are custom-bent for your structure. This final layer ensures waterproof protection.

How Long Does a Corrugated Roof Last?

In South Texas, a professionally installed corrugated metal roof from Rio Roofers can last 40 to 70 years depending on the finish, fastener type, and maintenance schedule.

Factors that affect lifespan:

  • Coating: Galvalume and painted finishes offer more corrosion resistance
  • Roof Pitch: Steeper slopes shed water better
  • Proximity to Coast: Salt air in Port Aransas may reduce longevity
  • Maintenance: Annual checkups extend roof life and preserve warranties

We also offer annual roof checkups through our roof maintenance program, recommended for both residential and commercial customers.

Cost of Corrugated Metal Roofing

Prices vary depending on panel thickness, finish, and size of your roof. On average:

Installation Type Cost (per sq ft)
Residential Installations $5.50 – $8.00
Commercial Installations $4.75 – $7.25

*Commercial pricing based on square footage and purlin framing
