Metal Roofing in Perry County

Pottery Towns and Coal Towns

We install standing seam metal roofing, replace shingle roofs and fit seamless gutters across the whole county.

Crooksville and Roseville were built around the clay works, and Shawnee and Corning around the mines. All four put up rows of workers’ housing that are still standing and still being lived in.

That housing shares a problem: small houses with steep pitches, close together, often with additions bolted on at some point by somebody who was not a builder. The main roof is usually the easy part. Where those additions meet the original structure is where the water gets in.

Flashing a roof-to-wall junction properly is hand work, and it is the thing that separates a metal roof that solves the problem from one that just covers it for a while.

Somerset and New Lexington have more of the substantial older stock — brick, taller, more complicated rooflines — and those are trim-driven jobs where the time goes into the details rather than the panels.

Perry County Conditions

Mine Subsidence and What It Does to a Roofline

Large parts of Perry County are undermined, and ground that has moved shows up in the roof before it shows up anywhere else. A ridge that is no longer straight, a valley that has opened up, a chimney pulling away from the flashing.

That matters for a metal roof more than for a shingle one, because standing seam is installed to a plane. Panels want a deck that is flat and a roofline that is consistent, and neither is guaranteed on a house that has settled unevenly.

It is workable — we do it regularly — but it is why we get on the roof before quoting rather than measuring from a satellite image. A house that has moved needs the deck corrected first, and that has to be in the number from the start rather than turning up as a surprise once the old roof is off.

If you have had a chimney or a ridge move on you, say so when you call. It changes what we look at.

Common Questions

Perry County Roofing Questions

My house has settled and the ridge is not straight. Can it still take metal?

Usually yes, but the deck has to be brought back to a workable plane first and that belongs in the quote rather than in a surprise later. It is one of the reasons we get on the roof before pricing anything in this county.

Where does the addition keep leaking from?

Almost always the roof-to-wall junction, not the roof surface. Water runs down the wall, gets behind poorly fitted or aged flashing, and comes out somewhere that looks unrelated. Redoing that flashing by hand is the fix.

Do you cover Shawnee and Corning as well as the bigger towns?

Yes — the whole county. Shawnee, Corning, Junction City, Thornville, Glenford and New Straitsville included.

Is standing seam worth it on a small house?

The square-foot cost is the same, so a small roof is a smaller number. On a modest house the total often lands close to what a good shingle roof costs on a bigger one, and you are done with it for fifty years rather than fifteen.

How soon can you get to Perry County?
