Metal roofing systems last 40-70 years with minimal maintenance, far exceeding traditional roofing materials and eliminating frequent replacement expenses.
Metal roofs withstand extreme weather including high winds, hail, heavy snow, and temperature fluctuations without cracking, shrinking, or erosion.
Reflective metal roofing reduces cooling costs by up to 25% by reflecting solar heat rather than absorbing it.
Non-combustible metal roofing provides Class A fire rating, enhancing safety and often reducing insurance premiums.
Metal roofs require minimal upkeep compared to other commercial roofing systems. No frequent repairs, patches, or premature replacement.
Metal roofing handles wind speeds up to 140 mph, resists impact damage, and sheds snow and ice efficiently.

Serving commercial clients across Ohio, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and surrounding states
Standing seam systems last 50-70 years. R-panel systems last 30-50 years. Steel systems average 40-50 years, while aluminum, zinc, and copper can exceed 70 years with minimal maintenance.
Initial costs are higher, but metal roofing's longevity, low maintenance, and energy savings result in lower lifecycle costs compared to TPO, EPDM, or built-up roofing.
Standing seam uses concealed fasteners and raised seams for premium performance and longevity. R-panel uses exposed fasteners for economical installation. Standing seam lasts longer and requires less maintenance but costs more initially.
Yes, in many cases metal roofing can be installed over existing systems, reducing tear-off costs and waste. We assess structural capacity and building codes to determine feasibility.
Properly installed standing seam roofing withstands wind speeds up to 140 mph. R-panel systems handle winds up to 110 mph. Both offer superior wind uplift resistance.
Standing seam requires minimal maintenance. R-panel requires periodic fastener checks and resealing every 5-10 years. We recommend bi-annual inspections for all metal roofing systems.
Yes. Reflective metal roofing reduces cooling costs by 10-25% by reflecting solar heat rather than absorbing it.
Not with proper installation. Solid roof decking and building insulation effectively dampen sound. Most occupants notice no difference from other roofing types.
Metal roofing includes manufacturer warranties on materials (25-40 years on finishes, often lifetime on substrate) plus our workmanship warranty covering installation.
