The last roof most homes will ever need. Standing seam and metal shingle systems installed by crews who do metal every week - not once a season.
Standing seam - concealed-fastener panels with raised seams. The premium option: nothing penetrates the surface, so there's nothing to work loose or leak. Ideal for modern homes, farmhouses and low-slope sections.
Metal shingles - stamped panels that look like traditional shingle, slate or shake from the street, with metal's lifespan underneath. A good fit for neighborhoods where standing seam would stand out.
Metal is unforgiving of shortcuts - a mis-driven fastener or skipped closure shows up as a leak years later. Our metal crews use manufacturer-specified underlayment, clips and trim on every job, and your warranty paperwork documents all of it.
Not on a home. Over solid decking and underlayment, a metal roof is about as loud as asphalt - the "rain on a tin barn" sound comes from open framing, not houses.
Up front, yes - typically two to three times. Over its life it's usually cheaper, because it's the last roof you buy and it trims cooling costs along the way.
Sometimes it's allowed, but we recommend a tear-off so we can inspect and fix the deck first. We'll give you both prices and our honest recommendation.
