Metal roofs are an investment in your property's future, offering superior performance in extreme weather, excellent energy efficiency, and a distinctive aesthetic that enhances curb appeal and property value.
Why Choose Metal Roofing?
Metal roofing offers unmatched benefits that make it an increasingly popular choice for discerning property owners.
Metal roofs can last 50-70 years or more with proper installation and minimal maintenance. That's 2-3 times longer than asphalt shingles, making it a true lifetime roofing solution.
Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, reducing cooling costs by 10-25%. Special reflective coatings can further enhance energy savings, making metal roofing an eco-friendly choice.
Metal roofing excels in extreme weather conditions. It's non-combustible (Class A fire rating), sheds snow easily, resists wind speeds up to 140 mph, and won't crack, corrode, or impact like other materials.
Metal roofing can recoup 85-95% of its cost at resale and is a major selling point for buyers. The modern, upscale appearance and known durability make properties more attractive.
Metal roofing is 100% recyclable at the end of its life and often contains 25-95% recycled content. It doesn't contribute to landfill waste like asphalt shingles.
Once installed, metal roofs require very little maintenance. No need for periodic replacement of damaged shingles or worry about moss, mildew, or rot. Occasional inspections are all that's needed.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install
We offer a variety of metal roofing systems to suit different architectural styles and performance requirements.
The most popular and modern metal roofing system, standing seam features vertical panels with raised seams that interlock. The fasteners are concealed beneath the seams, creating a sleek, clean appearance with no exposed screws.

Professional Metal Roof Installation
Metal roofing requires specialized knowledge and precision. Our certified installers follow strict protocols to ensure your metal roof performs flawlessly for decades.
We inspect and repair the roof deck as needed, ensuring it's structurally sound and properly ventilated. Any damaged decking is replaced before proceeding.
High-temperature synthetic underlayment is installed across the entire roof deck. This provides a secondary moisture barrier and helps prevent condensation issues.
Custom-fabricated trim pieces and flashing are installed at eaves, rakes, ridges, valleys, and all penetrations. Proper flashing is critical for a watertight metal roof system.
Metal panels are carefully measured, cut, and installed according to manufacturer specifications. For standing seam systems, panels are mechanically seamed together for a weathertight seal.
Ridge caps are installed with proper ventilation to allow hot air to escape from the attic. This is essential for preventing moisture buildup and maximizing energy efficiency.
A thorough inspection ensures all seams are properly sealed, fasteners are correctly installed, and the roof meets all manufacturer requirements for warranty coverage.
