What Is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Standing seam roofing is a type of metal roofing with vertical seams that run the roof length. We use hidden fasteners, which means no fasteners are visible and are not exposed to the elements, which can cause the fasteners to wear out over time. The seams are sealed with a unique adhesive, allowing the roof to expand and contract with changes in temperature without leaking. In addition, standing seam metal roofs are very low maintenance and can last for decades with proper care!
Let us help you select the perfect standing seam metal roof for your home or business.
FAQs

Is metal more expensive than other types of roofing?

Are metal roofs noisy?
No, metal roofs are very quiet. The panels are installed over a solid substrate, which helps to dampen any noise. Additionally, the top layer of most metal roofs is coated with an asphaltic material, which further helps reduce noise.
How much does metal roofing cost?
The cost of metal roofing varies depending on the type of metal you choose and the size of your roof. Metal roofs are generally more expensive than other types, such as asphalt shingles. However, it is important to keep in mind that a metal roof will last far longer than your typical asphalt roof; therefore, evening out in the grand scheme of things.
What is better: 26 gauge or 29 gauge?
A 26 gauge is thicker, heavier, and overall more sturdy than a 29 gauge roof. The weight of the 26 gauge ensures you have extra protection in the case of a heavy wind or hail storm. However, we still offer a 29 gauge roof because it fits many homeowners’ budgets and needs.
