Metal roofing
Standing-seam metal roofing for new buildings and re-roofs, screw-down replacement and retrofit, and restoration of existing metal roofs with fastener replacement and coatings, by crews who do metal every week.
Metal roofs last forty years if the details are right and the fasteners are managed. Standing-seam with concealed clips is the long-life system; screw-down is cheaper and the screws are the maintenance item. We install both and we are honest about the difference.
A lot of our metal work is restoration. A screw-down roof that is twenty years old does not need replacing; it needs every fastener replaced with an oversized screw and a new washer, seams sealed, and a coating system that resets the clock for fifteen years at a third of the cost of a new roof.
Retrofit over metal
A failing metal roof can be recovered with a new standing-seam system on sub-framing, or with a single-ply membrane on insulation over the old panels. Both avoid a tear-off over an operating building. The building and the budget decide.
Panels and finishes
Roll-formed on site for long runs, factory panels where the profile requires it. Kynar finishes in the standard colors, Galvalume where the owner wants it unpainted. Snow is not a concern here; thermal movement is, and the clip system is chosen for it.
What happens, in order.
So you know what to expect from the first call to the last walk.
Assess
Fastener condition, seam condition, panel corrosion, substructure; restore, retrofit or replace recommended with costs.
Submit
Panel profile, gauge, finish, clips and details; engineering where uplift requires it.
Install
Panels roll-formed or delivered; clips and seams per manufacturer; details at every penetration and edge.
Warrant
Manufacturer finish and weathertightness warranties where specified; workmanship warranty always.

Where we have done this.
Questions about metal roofing.
Can my old screw-down roof be saved?
Usually, if the panels are not rusted through. Fastener replacement and a coating system gives it another fifteen years at a fraction of replacement cost.
Standing-seam or screw-down?
Standing-seam for life and low maintenance; screw-down for budget. We install both and we will say which fits.
Can you put a new roof over the old metal without tearing it off?
Yes, either a new standing-seam system on sub-framing or a membrane on insulation over the old panels. No tear-off over an operating building.
