Benefits of Metal Roofs
Energy-efficient
Metal roofs can save summer cooling expenses by up to 20% or more thanks to thermal breaks and reflective coatings.
Lower maintenance
With a correctly installed and designed corrugated tin roof, you'll no longer have to worry about costly roof repairs or upkeep, as most other materials require.
Resistance to mildew
The growth of mildew and algae is favored by a moist environment, which is why water-resistant metal roofs are an excellent choice. Cleaning your roof of mold, mildew, and algae is a great way to keep your house looking great for many years to come.
Condensation
Metal roofing doesn't pose a condensation issue when installed on ordinary residential construction with roof decking and adequate attic insulation and ventilation. This is because tin roofing doesn't absorb moisture, making it less susceptible.
Environmentally friendly
Since they are energy-efficient, recyclable, and made from recycled materials, metal roofs are good for the environment.
Lighter weight
Low-weight roofs protect structures from instability and damage as they age, especially in seismically active areas.
Longevity
The lifespan of a metal roof can range from 25 to 50 years if it is properly installed and maintained.
Partially recycled material
A high-quality aluminum roof should contain anywhere from 35% to 95% recycled material.
Fire-resistant
Corrugated sheet metal roofs are resistant to flying embers and sparks, preventing fires from outside a building.
Recyclable material
Metal roofs are completely recyclable at the end of their useful life, unlike conventional roofs that must be disposed of in a landfill.
Solar options
Solar panels can be mounted on some metal roofs using a clamping mechanism without compromising the roof's integrity or voiding the manufacturer's warranty. It's also a sturdy base that can handle massive solar installations, reducing the risk of roof failures.
Modern style
Metal roofing provides a long-lasting uniqueness and charm to a house. Other types of roofing materials result in deterioration in appearance with time. On the other hand, metal roofing, such as a standing seam metal roof, can maintain a brand-new appearance for many years to come.What Our Customers Can Expect

However, if your metal roof isn’t properly fitted or maintained, it’s more susceptible to a wide range of issues.

By employing our services, you can keep your home in excellent condition and prevent structural difficulties in the future. Here’s what you can expect throughout the process:
- First, we will apply the underlayment. You need an underlayment because it protects your roofing from adverse weather and prevents leaks and water damage.
- To avoid any seams, we will trim the panels to the length of your roof. Water can seep underneath the panels if the seams aren’t properly sealed.
- Trim ends will be closed by bending them. Cuts and bends for each trim are specific to its shape.
- We’ll attach the eave trim to the roof deck directly on top of the underlayment using one-inch roofing nails.
- We will splice and overlap the trims. We’ll splice the ends together where they meet. As a first step, we’ll angle cut the underlapping trim’s bottom hem. A sealant will be sprayed on top of the underlapping trim after it has been installed.
- We’ll draw a line for reference. A reference line is essential to ensure that roofing panels are installed uniformly.
- We’re going to begin putting up the panels. A foam closing strip is used to hold each metal panel in place. Bugs and water are kept out by these strips, which are designed to fit the panel’s corrugated underside.
- We will overlap panels properly. As a best practice, we’ll make sure each panel is laid flat, with the overlapped edge having a shorter rib leg that doesn’t touch the metal sheet roofing surface.
- After that, the panels will be fastened. Following the manufacturer’s instructions during installation is essential because storm-related roof failures are frequently caused by poor roof fastening.
- Lastly, we finish the process by securing a cap over the ridge. As the roof’s topmost edge, ridge caps are plastic or metal panels that serve to shield it from water damage.
