Freqently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our yard, legacy, and metal services.
What is the main difference between R-Panel and PBR Panel?
While they look similar, the PBR (Purlin Bearing R-Panel) has a longer "leg" on one side of the panel. This leg rests on the purlins, providing a more stable lap and a better weather seal. If you are doing a roof, PBR is generally recommended for its superior water resistance. R-panel is often used for siding or interior projects where a deep weather-tight seal is less critical.
Do I need an account or a contractor's license to buy from you?
No. We sell directly to the public. Whether you are a homeowner building a backyard shed or a professional roofing crew handling a commercial warehouse, you can walk into our Roosevelt Ave yard and buy exactly what you need with no minimum order requirements.
Can I get my purlins and trusses at the same time as my panels?
Yes. This is our "One-Stop Hub" advantage. Unlike big-box stores or specialty roofing shops that only carry the skin of the building, we are a full-scale steel distribution center. You can source your structural tubing, purlins, trusses, and roofing panels in a single trip, saving you time and logistics costs.
Is metal roofing energy efficient in the San Antonio heat?
Absolutely. Metal roofing reflects a high percentage of solar radiation, which keeps your building significantly cooler than traditional asphalt shingles. In the South Texas sun, this can lead to lower cooling costs and a much more comfortable environment for residential or industrial spaces.
