Metal roof replacement, built to last.
Metal panels handle hail and wind differently than shingles, and switching over is a full replacement, done for homes across the Oklahoma City metro.
Metal roofing is becoming a common choice for homeowners across the Oklahoma City metro who want a roof built to handle hail and wind without the recurring repairs asphalt shingles need. All The Way Up Construction installs metal roof replacements for homes in Moore, Norman, Oklahoma City, and the surrounding towns we serve. A metal replacement involves a full tear-off of the old roofing, new underlayment, and either standing seam or exposed fastener panels depending on the look and budget you're after. The details at the eaves, valleys, and penetrations all change when a roof switches from shingles to metal, which is why it helps to have someone experienced with both do the work.
Are you tired of replacing storm-damaged shingles every few years?
If your roof keeps taking hail and wind damage and you're weighing whether to just replace it with shingles again, metal is worth a look. Standing seam panels shed wind-driven rain and resist hail bruising in a way that asphalt shingles, which bruise and lose granules under impact, don't. Exposed fastener panels cost less up front but have more seams and fasteners to keep an eye on over time compared to standing seam. Either option changes how the roof handles penetrations, valleys, and the eaves, since metal sheds water differently than shingles do.
Signs it might be time to switch to metal
Repeated hail or wind damage to shingles
If you're patching the same slope after every storm season, the shingles are taking the same punishment every time. Metal panels resist that kind of impact and wind lift much better.
A shingle roof nearing the end of its life
If the shingles are aging out anyway, a replacement is a natural point to consider switching materials rather than installing another set of shingles.
Wanting fewer repairs long term
Homeowners tired of scheduling a repair crew every year or two often move to metal for the lower long-term maintenance, even with a bigger upfront project.
Curb appeal or resale goals pointing toward metal
Some homeowners simply prefer the look of standing seam metal, and it can be a selling point when it's time to list the home.
What goes into the decision
Standing seam vs exposed fastener
Standing seam panels have hidden fasteners and fewer seams exposed to weather, while exposed fastener panels are a lower-cost option with visible screws that need occasional attention. We walk through both so you can weigh the tradeoffs.
How the eaves and penetrations are detailed differently in metal
Flashing at chimneys, vents, and eaves has to be reworked for metal panels rather than reused from the shingle install. Getting these details right is most of what separates a metal roof that performs well from one that doesn't.
Storm and hail performance compared to shingles
Metal resists hail bruising and wind uplift better than asphalt shingles do, which is often the main reason homeowners switch after repeated storm damage.
Condition of the decking under the old roof
Any soft or rotted decking found during tear-off gets replaced before new underlayment and panels go down, regardless of which roofing material goes back on.
What to expect during the visit
A metal roof replacement starts the same way any tear-off does: we strip the old roofing down to the decking and repair or replace any boards that have gone soft. From there we install new underlayment rated for metal and rework the flashing at every valley, chimney, vent, and eave to match how metal panels shed water. We install the panels, whether standing seam or exposed fastener, across the roof and finish with trim and flashing at the edges. We keep the property protected throughout and clean up thoroughly before we consider the job done.

If storm damage is what's driving the decision to switch materials, our Storm & Hail Damage team can document the existing damage before the replacement starts. If skylights or chimneys need new flashing to match the metal system, Skylights & Flashing covers that work. And if only part of the current roof needs attention while you weigh a future switch, Roof Repair can hold you over.
The cost of waiting
Putting off a roof replacement after repeated storm damage usually just means paying for another round of shingle repairs before the next one hits. Each hail event and windstorm adds more soft spots and lifted shingles to a roof that's already worn down, and over a few years those repairs can add up to more trouble than switching to a system built to take that punishment.
Is a metal roof worth it over asphalt shingles?
It depends on what you're trying to solve. If hail and wind damage keep sending you back to repairs, metal's resistance to bruising and its ability to shed wind-driven rain make it a strong long-term option, though it's a bigger investment up front than another shingle roof.
How long does a metal roof replacement take?
It typically takes longer than an asphalt shingle replacement because of the panel work and the flashing details at every edge and penetration, though exact timing depends on roof size and the system chosen. We give you a clear timeline before the crew starts.
Do I need to replace the decking when switching to metal?
Only where it's needed. We check the decking during tear-off and replace any boards that have gone soft or rotted, but sound decking under the old roof usually carries over to the new one.
