Metal Roofing Systems

A metal roof offers outstanding benefits, including a 50+ year operational lifespan, superior wind and storm resistance, and exceptional energy efficiency. Metal roofs are non-combustible (Class A fire rating), resist rot and insect damage, and reflect solar heat to reduce cooling bills, making them an excellent long-term investment for your property.

No. When installed over solid roof decking with high-quality underlayment and attic insulation, a residential metal roof is no noisier than a traditional shingle roof during rain. The solid decking and insulation dampen the sound, ensuring a quiet interior environment for your home.

Standing seam metal roofs use hidden clips and fasteners that are concealed underneath vertical seams. This design eliminates exposed screws, preventing leak points and wind lift. Screw-down rib panels (exposed fastener systems) are secured with screws that penetrate the panels. They are highly cost-effective and popular for agricultural buildings and barns.

Yes, metal roofing systems are exceptionally durable during severe storms. Premium steel panels are highly resistant to wind lift and carry a Class 4 impact rating, meaning they can withstand hail strikes without cracking. While extreme hail can cause minor cosmetic dimples, it will not compromise the roof's waterproof integrity.

Yes, metal roofs are highly energy-efficient. Standard shingles absorb solar heat and radiate it into your attic, raising cooling loads. Metal roofs are coated with reflective cool paint finishes that bounce solar heat away from your home. This thermal barrier can lower attic temperatures and reduce your summer cooling costs.

While it is possible to install metal over shingles using furring strips, we do not recommend it. Tearing off the old shingles allows us to inspect the decking for rot, ensure a flat surface for the panels, and install high-quality synthetic underlayment. Tearing off ensures a clean, long-lasting installation that complies with manufacturer guidelines.

We offer a wide selection of colors and finishes, ranging from modern Slate Gray and Bronze to classic Forest Green and Colonial Red. We use steel panels coated with premium PVDF/Kynar paint systems, which offer outstanding fade and chalk resistance to keep your roof looking vibrant for decades.

Metal roofs require very little maintenance compared to shingles. We recommend regular gutter cleanings and annual visual checks to clear debris from valleys and check rubber gaskets on exposed fasteners if applicable. This minimal maintenance ensures your metal roof continues to perform flawlessly.

Yes, a metal roof represents an investment that pays off over time. Traditional shingles must be replaced every 15 to 20 years. A standing seam metal roof lasts 50+ years, meaning it will likely be the last roof you ever install. It also reduces cooling costs and increases your home's resale value.
