What is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and weather resistance,
Standing seam metal roofing is a system of flat metal panels with raised, interlocking seams. Unlike roofing with visible fasteners, these panels are attached from underneath, creating a smooth, seamless surface. This design not only offers a modern aesthetic but also forms a robust barrier against water, crucial for protecting the underlying structure, especially in harsh weather.

Weather Resistance: Excellent against water, wind (up to 140 mph), ice, and fire (Class A rating).
Low Maintenance: Resistant to mold, mildew, pests. Minimal upkeep compared to other materials.
Aesthetic Appeal & Value: Modern, sleek look with various colors/finishes. Can increase home value by 60-70% of installation cost.
Important considerations to keep in mind
Key Considerations with Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Higher Upfront Cost: Significantly more expensive initially than materials like asphalt shingles ($800-$1,500 vs. $325-$750 per square).
Specialized Installation: Requires experienced contractors with specific training and tools. Improper installation can lead to issues like "oil canning."
Noise Factor: Can be noisier during rain/hail, though mitigable with proper insulation and underlayment.
Denting Potential: Susceptible to dents from large hail or falling debris, especially softer metals. Thicker gauges offer more resistance.
