Metal Roofing in Logan, OH & the Hocking Hills

Metal Roofing in Logan

Why the Hills Went Metal First

We install standing seam roofing, replace worn roofs and fit seamless gutters throughout Hocking County, on homes and on the cabin and rental stock the area runs on.

Everything that makes the Hocking Hills worth visiting is hard on a shingle roof. Deep tree cover keeps roofs damp and shaded most of the year. Steep ravines funnel wind. Snow sits in the hollows longer than it does on open ground.

A shingle roof under that combination does not make it fifteen years. Metal does, which is why the cabins that have been here longest are already wearing it.

The distinction that matters now is between an exposed-fastener agricultural panel — cheap, fine on a barn, and due for a screw-and-washer pass every several years — and a hidden-fastener standing seam system that has nothing to back out at all. On a rental you are not visiting every month, that difference is the whole argument.

Logan Conditions

Cabins, Short-Term Rentals and Getting It Right Once

A rental cabin has a roofing problem an owner-occupied house does not: nobody is up there noticing. A drip that a homeowner catches in week one goes unnoticed through a season of bookings, and by the time it is reported it is a ceiling, not a roof.

That is the case for spending more once. A standing seam roof with concealed clips is the closest thing to a roof you do not have to monitor, and the 40-year Sherwin-Williams finish means it still looks like a feature in the listing photos a decade in.

We also do a lot of dark matte finishes out here, because a black or bronze roof disappears into the treeline instead of announcing itself — which is usually what an owner in the Hills actually wants.

Common Questions

Logan & Hocking Hills Roofing Questions

What is the difference between standing seam and the ribbed metal on most barns?

Fasteners. Ribbed agricultural panel is screwed through the face of the metal, so every screw is a hole with a rubber washer holding it back, and those washers dry out. Standing seam hides its fasteners under the seam — nothing penetrates the weather surface at all. It costs more and it is the one to put on a house.

Can you work around our rental bookings?

Yes. Tell us the gaps and we will work to them. Most cabin roofs are small enough to complete inside a short window if the material is staged ahead of time.

Will a metal roof shed snow onto the deck or the hot tub?

It will, and that needs designing for rather than discovering. Where a slope runs out over a deck, an entrance or a tub, we fit snow retention so the load releases gradually instead of all at once.

Does a dark roof get too hot in summer?

Painted metal reflects considerably more solar energy than asphalt of the same colour, and a vented assembly carries off what it does absorb. A dark metal roof generally runs cooler through the attic than the dark shingle roof it replaced.

How far into Hocking County do you go?

Logan, Laurelville, Rockbridge, South Bloomingville, Murray City and the cabin areas through the state park.
