How we work on a working ranch

Every ag project follows the same six steps.

  1. 1

    Walk the building

    Panels, purlins, posts, trim and gutters checked and photographed.

  2. 2

    Plan around the operation

    Animals, equipment, hay deliveries and events worked into the schedule.

  3. 3

    Order to length

    Panels cut to length to reduce end laps and leaks.

  4. 4

    Secure the site

    Gates, pens and equipment areas protected; scrap picked up daily.

  5. 5

    Install to the wind pattern

    Fasteners and trim set for open-country wind loads.

  6. 6

    Sweep and sign off

    Every screw and scrap of metal picked up so it cannot hurt animals or tires.

  • 01

    Re-sheet in cool months

    Winter work is easier on crews, animals and steel.

  • 02

    Use the right gauge

    26-gauge panels resist hail and wind better than thin 29-gauge.

  • 03

    Fix gutters too

    Runoff off a barn roof washes out pads and foundations.

Numbers that shape a barn roof

  • 40+years from Galvalume steel panels
  • 10–15years before exposed-fastener washers need replacing
  • 26gaour usual panel for open-country wind and hail
  • 150°Fbare steel roof surface in July

Put the screw in the flat of the panel, not the rib, on most ag panels. Then it seals for decades.

Barn roofing questions

Ranchers and ag business owners ask us these most. Something else? Call a project manager.

01How much does a pole barn roof cost near San Antonio?

In 2026, re-sheeting with R-panel runs about $6 to $10 per square foot, and a metal retrofit about $9 to $14.

02Can you repair a barn roof instead of replacing it?

Often. Replacing fasteners, trim and damaged panels fixes most barn roof leaks.

03What gauge metal should I use on a barn?

We usually recommend 26-gauge for barns in open country because it resists wind and hail better than 29-gauge.

04Why does my barn drip on cool mornings?

Condensation under uninsulated steel. Insulation or a liner with a vapor barrier fixes it.

05Do you work in rural areas outside San Antonio?

Yes. We cover Bexar, Kendall, Comal, Guadalupe, Kerr and nearby counties.

06Do you roof arenas and event barns?

Yes, including wide-span roofs and standing seam on visible buildings.

07Can you work around livestock?

Yes. We work steadily and quietly, respect gates and pens and clean up every scrap daily.

08Do you handle hail and wind claims on barns?

Yes. We document damage for your insurer and make temporary repairs.
