Standing Seam Metal Roofing

 
Metal standing seam roofs have been popular in the U.S. since the Victorian era, valued for their longevity. They used to be made primarily of copper, zinc, or galvanized steel. Today’s high-quality steel roofs last even longer than before due to state-of-the-art paints and manufacturing processes. Your new standing seam roof can easily last several lifetimes!

Standing seam steel is the choice of many homeowners looking for a high-quality, beautiful, and functional roof. We offer 31 colors to choose from!

 

Benefits of Steel Standing Seam Roofing

  • 24 gauge steel standing seam roofing is tough and stands up well to wind and high snow loads, both of which are issues in our area.
  • We only use commercial grade 24 gauge, G90 galvanized steel with a 70% concentration Kynar paint – the best available.
  • Kynar paint requires minimal maintenance, that is, a fresh coat of paint every 35-40 years!
  • Kynar pigments fade the least of all roofing paints.
  • Most Kynar colors have been proven to reduce summertime air conditioning costs by up to 20%. This study was undertaken by Energy Star, a division of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Residential Steel Standing Seam

We offer two profiles:

1” Double Lock Seam
This design is more labor intensive but can be used on roof rakes down to ½ / 12. That’s almost flat; this is the only residential profile that can be used in this situation.


1” Click-Lock
This profile can only be used with roof rakes of 4/12 or higher. It eliminates some of the hand work that is required with the double lock seam – sometimes as much as one-third of the labor – and we pass this savings on to you.

Low-Fat Roofing?!
We Have Cut the Fat Out of Residential Steel Standing Seam Roofing. We have been told, ”Your company is the most professional and knowledgeable we have dealt with. Why is your price one of the lowest?”

 

How do we do it?

We take our business seriously. We have invested heavily in the latest technology available.

  • Our portable roll-forming machine allows us to form panels onsite, eliminating waste and costs associated with factory production, shipping, and distribution. You save money!
  • Smaller roll-forming equipment simplifies the manufacture of your trim and flashing.
  • We purchased industrial slitting equipment so we could buy and use larger 4’ x 10’ sheets of metals, which are much less expensive than smaller, cut ones.
  • Our job-site trimming and notching equipment not only increases quality and consistency but also cuts labor by 20 percent on the average roof.
All of these investments we made in research and experimentation and state-of-the-art technology bring you a better product at a more reasonable price.
 
We also offer aluminum and copper standing seam, which are often used as accents or in detail areas.
