The range
From the barn to the house
Ranch country says lámina, Spanish for sheet metal, for the ribbed panel on a barn. The house gets a different panel in the same metal.
LáminaBarns and sheds
Ribbed lámina panel, screwed down through the face. A plain roof for a barn, a hay shed or a lean-to.

Choosing a panel
Exposed fastener or standing seam?
Lámina is the ribbed panel with exposed screws. Standing seam hides the fasteners under the seam. Both are metal; they are built and priced differently.
| Standing seam | Exposed fastener (lámina) | |
|---|---|---|
| Fasteners | Standing seamClips under the seam, no screws in the face | Exposed fastener (lámina)Screws through the face of the panel |
| Upkeep | Standing seamLittle to check on the face; flashing and sealant matter | Exposed fastener (lámina)Screws and washers are checked as the roof ages |
| Typical use | Standing seamHouses, guest houses, cabins | Exposed fastener (lámina)Barns, sheds, shops, porches |
| Look | Standing seamClean vertical lines, flat between seams | Exposed fastener (lámina)Ribbed lines, a working-building look |
| Cost | Standing seamHigher per square foot | Exposed fastener (lámina)Lower per square foot |
How we take orders
No deposit on custom-cut panels
Panels are cut to your roof's measurements. We order them without asking you for a deposit.
What you pay, and when, is written in your estimate before work starts, and we do not start until you have signed it.

Local conditions
Built for the Hill Country
Hail
A hail rating is about cracking, not dents. Metal can dent and still keep water out. Ask your insurer whether your policy covers cosmetic dents before you choose a panel.
Sun and finish
Hill Country sun is hard on paint. Painted panels have a finish warranty from the maker; bare galvalume has no paint to fade. We show you both on samples.
Rainwater tanks
Many ranches catch rain off the roof into a tank. Tell us if yours does; the coating and the gutters matter.
Stone and the historic district
Parts of Fredericksburg are a historic district with rules about roofs that show from the street. We ask before we order panels.

What owners say
Words from the Hill Country
“They walked the whole roof with me, then sent the price on paper. Nobody asked me for money to order the panels.”
Delbert S.Barn roof near Stonewall
“Octavio explained everything to my mother in Spanish, and the crew left the yard clean.”
Marisela G.House roof in Fredericksburg
“I asked about hail and got an honest answer: the roof can dent, and I should ask my insurer about that.”
