Why Building Owners Choose Metal

A roof is a line item you want to see as rarely as possible. These are the reasons owners and property managers give us when they choose metal, and most of them hold for a house too.

Long Service Life

Standing seam and corrugated roofs commonly last 40 years or more, roughly twice what asphalt gives you in Connecticut. Over the life of a building that is one replacement instead of two, and one less disruption to tenants and operations.

Low Upkeep

No granules to shed, no shingles to curl, no moss holding water against the deck. Keep the gutters and drains clear, have the flashing and fasteners looked at on a schedule, and that is most of the maintenance budget.

Sheds Snow

Snow does not grip a smooth metal panel. It slides off once the sun hits the roof, which takes load off wide spans and long rafters and leaves ice dams nothing to build from.

Holds in High Wind

Panels are mechanically fastened to the deck, not held down by a tar strip. Metal is commonly rated for higher winds than shingles, which matters on an open site, a tall building or a long, exposed roofline.

Does Not Burn

Steel and aluminum panels are noncombustible. An ember from a neighboring fire lands on a surface that cannot catch. Some insurers rate a building better for it.

Lower Cooling Load

A light or reflective finish sends sun back off the roof instead of into the building. Many owners see lower cooling bills in summer, though how much depends on the color, the insulation and how the space is used.

Standing Seam vs Corrugated

We install both on commercial and residential buildings, and we will tell you which one fits yours. Here is the difference in plain terms.

Standing Seam

Wide vertical panels joined at raised seams, with the fasteners hidden under the seam. Nothing penetrates the panel face, so there is nothing to back out or weep. It is the choice for retail, offices, any roof your customers can see, and most homes.

Corrugated

Ribbed panels screwed straight through to the deck with gasketed fasteners. It is the simpler, more economical system and the usual choice on warehouses, equipment buildings, agricultural and storage buildings and garages. The trade is the exposed screws, which need a look every few years as the gaskets age.

How We Help You Choose

Four things decide it: how the building is used, the slope, the budget and the look you want. We walk you through both systems on the estimate visit. We install Everlast and McElroy most often, and we will install any brand you ask for.

What Goes Into a Metal Roof

The panels are the part you see. What keeps a metal roof dry for decades is the deck under it, the membrane at the edges, and the trim where panels meet walls, parapets, rooftop units and each other. Every metal roof we install, on a warehouse or a house, starts with a full tear-off down to the deck. We do not lay metal over an old roof.

The Layers, Deck to Ridge

Tear-off and deck inspection. The old roof comes off down to the sheathing. We walk the deck, replace any soft or rotted plywood and re-nail anything loose, because a metal roof is only as flat and solid as the wood under it.

Ice and water shield. Self-adhering membrane at the eaves, in the valleys and around every penetration, which is where Connecticut ice dams push water back up the roof.

High-temperature synthetic underlayment. Metal gets hotter than shingles in the sun. The underlayment across the rest of the deck is rated for that heat so it does not soften or bond to the panels.

Metal panels. Standing seam panels on concealed clips, or corrugated panels through-fastened with gasketed screws, laid from the eave up and lapped away from the weather.

Trim, flashing and ridge closure. Eave and rake trim, flashing at walls and chimneys, pipe boots made for metal, and closures under the ridge cap that keep wind-driven rain, snow and insects out of the panel ribs.

1. Inspection and Estimate

We measure the roof, check the deck and attic where we can, and hand you a written price with every layer listed.

2. System, Brand and Color

You choose standing seam or corrugated, the brand, and the color. We confirm trim, flashing and ridge details before the order goes in.

3. Tear-Off and Install

The old roof comes off. We fix the deck, lay the membrane and underlayment, then set the panels and trim. Nothing goes over the old shingles.

4. Cleanup and Walkthrough

Debris hauled, the yard and driveway magnet-swept for screws and nails, then we walk you through the finished roof and answer anything you want to know.

Commercial Buildings, Homes and Financing

Metal fits some roofs and not others. Here is where it belongs on a commercial building, where it belongs on a house, and how most owners pay for it.

  • Homes – Standing seam on the house, corrugated on the garage or barn, both on a full tear-off. Our residential roofing page
  • Financing – Monthly payment plans through a third-party lender, with details on the estimate visit. Financing options

Metal Roofing FAQ

Commonly 40 years or more, and standing seam often goes longer. That is roughly twice the life of an asphalt roof in this climate. Rust is not the limit when the panel and the detailing are right. Steel panels are galvanized or alloy-coated and then painted, so bare steel never sees water, and aluminum panels do not rust at all. Where rust does show up it is usually at a bare cut edge or a mismatched fastener, so how the roof is trimmed and fastened matters as much as which panel you buy.

Yes. Pitched roofs on warehouses, shops, offices, barns, equipment buildings and multi-unit housing all take standing seam or corrugated metal. We handle a commercial job the same way we handle a home: full tear-off, deck inspection, membrane, underlayment, panels and trim. Our commercial roofing page covers everything else we install on commercial buildings.

Metal wants pitch. On a flat or low-slope roof, water sits at the laps and seams instead of running off, so that is not where we put it. For those roofs we install TPO, EPDM or GAF Liberty self-adhering roll roofing, all covered on the commercial roofing page. If part of your building is pitched and part is flat, we quote the two systems together.

Usually corrugated, exposed-fastener panels. A warehouse roof is large, simple and rarely seen from the street, so the economy of a through-fastened system makes sense and the screws are easy to reach when they need a look. Standing seam earns its place on retail, offices and any roof that faces the customer, or where you want no fastener penetrations at all. We price both if you want the comparison.

Not on a house. The panels sit on a solid plywood deck with underlayment between, and the attic insulation sits under that. From inside, most owners cannot tell rain on metal from rain on shingles. The tin-roof noise people remember comes from open-framed barns and sheds with no deck at all.

Some contractors do. We do not. Every metal roof we install, commercial or residential, starts with a full tear-off so we can inspect the deck, replace anything rotted and lay new ice and water shield and underlayment on a clean surface. Metal over an old roof hides whatever is wrong under there and puts a roof that should last decades on a deck no one has seen. Our roof replacement page explains why we take the same position on shingles.

Everlast and McElroy Metal most often. Both make standing seam and corrugated panels for commercial and residential roofs. If your architect or spec calls for another manufacturer, we will install it. Send us the spec and we will price it.

Yes, and often all at once when the sun warms the panels. That is good for the structure and bad for whatever is underneath. Many owners add snow guards over entry doors, loading docks, walkways, decks and parking spots. Snow guards hold the snow in place so it melts off instead of dropping in one sheet. Bring it up on the estimate visit so it is part of the plan.

It can. Some insurers give a discount for a metal roof because it does not burn and holds up to hail. Others treat it like any other new roof. Ask your agent or broker before you sign so the number is part of the decision. If you are replacing a roof after a storm, the storm damage page explains how a claim works.
