Kilgore's brick ranches and oil-heritage homes take a beating from East Texas weather, and most of them are still wearing the same composition shingles they got decades ago. If you live near the World's Richest Acre or along the brick streets downtown, you already know how pine needles pile up and how a spring hailstorm can strip a roof down to the felt.
We're Tyler Metal Roofing, and we've been helping homeowners in Kilgore (75662) and around Tyler make the switch to metal that holds up to hail, wind, and the big pines that hang over so many lots here. Whether you're in a 1950s ranch off Highway 31 or a newer build near Kilgore College, we can tell you straight what your roof needs.
Metal Roofing in Kilgore (75662)
Kilgore sits in the Piney Woods on a mix of sandy loam and red clay, and that matters when we're setting up a job. The clay holds water after a hard rain, so we plan staging and ladder placement to keep from tearing up your yard. Lots in the older parts of town, especially around the oil-heritage homes and the brick streets, can be tight, with mature post oaks and sweetgums crowding the roofline. We deal with that by hand-carrying panels or using a smaller lift when a full-size truck won't fit. The 1950s and 60s brick ranches common here often have low-slope porch roofs and original flashing that's ready to fail, and we see a lot of wind-lifted panels and failed fasteners after summer thunderstorms roll through. Pine needles and oak limbs are the other big issue, clogging gutters and trapping moisture against shingles until leaks show up inside.
Our team has worked on everything from simple metal roof over shingles retrofits on Kilgore ranches to standing seam installations on newer homes out toward the lake. We know the local building department and what they look for on a re-roof, and we can help you understand whether a full replacement or a retrofit makes more sense for your house.

How a Job Works in Kilgore
It starts with a free on-site assessment. We'll come out, get on the roof if it's safe, and look at the decking, flashing, and existing layers. You'll get a written estimate that spells out what we found and what we recommend, whether that's a repair, a metal roof over shingles, or a full replacement.
Once you approve, we handle the permit paperwork with the City of Kilgore and schedule the work. On tight lots near downtown or in the older neighborhoods, we plan panel delivery and staging so we're not blocking your driveway or a neighbor's access. If your home is in an HOA, we'll coordinate on color and panel profile before anything gets ordered. Most jobs take a few days depending on size and weather, and we keep you posted on progress.
When we're done, we clean up. That means magnet-sweeping for nails, hauling off old materials, and walking the property with you to make sure you're satisfied. We don't leave until you've seen the finished job and know how to reach us if anything comes up.
Pricing in Kilgore depends on the size and pitch of your roof, how many layers are already there, and whether we're repairing or replacing. For a typical ranch home, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, and standing seam starts around $10. A metal roof over shingles retrofit, which is popular on older Kilgore homes, starts around $7 per square foot, but keep in mind that code limits how many existing layers you can cover. Repairs and leak fixes start around $450, and screw replacement or re-fastening starts around $750. Storm and wind damage inspections are free. We'll give you a clear, written estimate before any work begins, so call (903) 508-2971 to schedule yours.
