Metal Roofing in Zanesville
Metal Roofing on Zanesville Housing Stock
We install standing seam metal roofing, replace worn-out shingle roofs, and hang seamless gutters across Muskingum County — town properties, hill properties and farms alike.
Zanesville has a lot of house per square mile that predates the war, and it shows up in the roofs. Steep pitches, cut-up rooflines, dormers, additions bolted onto the back of a brick four-square — none of which a crew can stamp a standard shingle package onto and walk away from.
Metal handles that better than shingle does, but only if the panels are cut and the trim is broken to fit the house rather than the other way around. That is the part that separates a metal roof that looks like it belongs from one that looks applied.
On the flat and rolling ground out toward Dresden and Adamsville the work is more straightforward: long uninterrupted runs where standing seam is at its most efficient and its cheapest per square.
Zanesville Conditions
Why Zanesville Roofs Wear Out Early
The problem here is not one dramatic storm. It is the freeze-thaw cycle. Muskingum County runs through the low thirties and back up again dozens of times each winter, and every one of those swings works water into a shingle seam and then expands it.
Asphalt gives up on that schedule in about fifteen years. A standing seam panel with hidden fasteners has no seam for the water to find and nothing that backs out as the metal moves, which is why the same weather that shortens a shingle roof barely registers on a metal one.
Add the tree cover along the Muskingum and the Licking, and you get the other half of the problem: constant leaf load in the gutters. We size the gutter and the downspouts for the roof above them, which on a steep Zanesville roof means more water arriving faster than a builder-grade five-inch run can carry.

Common Questions
Zanesville & Muskingum County Roofing Questions
How much more does a metal roof cost than shingles in Zanesville?
Expect a metal roof to run roughly two to three times a mid-grade shingle roof up front. The comparison that matters is lifespan: shingles in this climate are a fifteen to twenty year product, and a standing seam roof installed properly is a fifty year one. Over the life of the house metal is usually the cheaper of the two.
Can you put metal over my existing shingles?
Sometimes, and we will tell you which case you are in after we look. Going over an existing single layer can be sound and saves on tear-off. If the decking underneath is soft, or there are already two layers up there, covering it just buries a problem you will pay for later.
Is a metal roof loud in the rain?
Not the way people expect. The noise everyone remembers is from a metal panel screwed straight to open purlins on a barn. On a house with solid decking, underlayment and insulation below it, a metal roof is quieter than the shingle roof it replaced.
Do you work in the city or only out in the county?
Both. We are based just east of town in New Concord, so we are on jobs in the city, out through Dresden and Adamsville, and down along the river.
How long does a Zanesville re-roof take?
A typical house is two to four days depending on pitch, complexity and how much tear-off there is. A cut-up roof with a lot of dormers and valleys takes longer than a straightforward gable, because the trim work is where the time goes.

Very professional, they reroofed 2 homes and installed gutters on one of them and gutters on a 3rd. Always on task very efficient with their time. Cleaned up jobsite well when done. Would definitely recommend and use again.

No pushy salesman tactics like the corporate roofing companies, just a fair price and excellent work done on time. They even worked outside in 10 degree weather. Hard to ask for anything more. Highly recommended. No complaints whatsoever.
