Metal roofing
Metal roofing, for homes and businesses alike
Metal isn't a separate trade for us — it's a roofing system we install across both of our divisions, matched to the structure it protects. Start with the path that fits your building.

Materials & options
Materials & specs, in plain language
The vocabulary you'll hear in a metal roofing conversation — decoded honestly.
Gauge (26 vs 29)
Steel thickness — lower number means thicker. 26 gauge is stiffer and more dent-resistant; 29 gauge is lighter on the budget. We install both and recommend by application.
Galvalume vs painted steel
Galvalume is a bare aluminum-zinc coated steel with a silvery agricultural look; painted panels add a baked-on color finish with long fade resistance.
Panel profiles
Standing seam (concealed fasteners, raised vertical locks), and ribbed exposed-fastener profiles like R-panel — the profile drives cost, look, and maintenance.
Straight comparison
Metal vs. shingle, honestly
We install both systems, so we don't need to win this argument either way — here's the straight comparison.
Metal
- Higher up-front cost
- Commonly outlasts two shingle roofs
- Excellent wind and shed performance
- Reflects summer heat
- Standing seam is near-zero maintenance
Architectural shingle
- Most affordable up front
- 15–25 year typical life here
- Strong performance when installed to spec
- Easiest repairs and color matching
- The right call for many budgets and timelines
