Built for hurricanes
Concealed-fastener panels mechanically seamed along their length carry some of the highest wind ratings available on a residential roof — provided the clip spacing and the edge detail match the rating.
Stage 03 Roof types & materials
Metal Roofing
Standing-seam metal is the long-service-life option on this coast: concealed fasteners, panels that move as they heat, and a service life the trade generally puts at forty to fifty years.
Straight about this job
What you get
Forty to fifty years is the industry figure
Metal is generally reckoned at about two shingle roofs' worth of service life, and it reflects summer heat instead of absorbing it. What any particular roof gets depends on the coating, the detailing and the weather, so nobody can hand you a number in advance.
Custom fabrication
Panels, flashings, finials, and custom scroll work fabricated to fit your roof — not forced from stock lengths.
Straight answers
Metal Roofing — the questions we get
Is a metal roof loud in the rain?
Not over a solid deck with underlayment — it's installed over the same decking as shingles, so the sound difference inside is minimal.
Does metal cost more than shingles?
Upfront, yes — usually two to three times. Divided across its service life it is often the cheaper roof. Some carriers also price wind risk differently by roof covering, but whether yours does is a question for your agent, not for a roofer.
