Premium Standing Seam Roofing
Standing Seam Metal Roofing Done Right
Hidden-fastener metal roofing with clean vertical lines and nothing penetrating the weather surface. The system we put on our own houses.
Why Homeowners Choose Standing Seam
The Difference Is Where the Screws Go
Most of the metal roofing people have seen is exposed-fastener panel — the ribbed sheet on every barn in the county, screwed straight through the face of the metal.
It works, it is cheap, and every one of those hundreds of screws is a hole through the weather surface held back by a rubber washer. Washers harden. Screws back out as the panel expands and contracts through the seasons. Sooner or later somebody has to walk the whole roof and re-torque them.
Standing seam does not have that problem, because it does not have those screws. The panels clip to the deck underneath and the seam folds over the clip, so nothing penetrates the surface the water runs across.
It costs more than ribbed panel. On a house, it is the one worth paying for.
What You Are Actually Buying
Panels Are Easy. The Edges Are the Job.
Any crew can run flat panel up a simple gable. What separates a standing seam roof that lasts from one that leaks is everything that happens where the panels stop.
Valleys, hips, ridges, sidewall and headwall flashings, pipe boots, the eave and rake trim — those are cut, broken and fitted by hand on site, to a roof that is almost never as square as the drawing.
That is why we do our own trim work rather than ordering stock lengths and making them fit. It is slower and it is the entire difference in ten years.
It is also why our crews are the people who quote the job. Nobody is selling you a roof and handing it to whoever was available that week.

Common Questions
Standing Seam Metal Roofing Done Right FAQs
Standing seam or exposed-fastener panel — which should I get?
Standing seam on a house, every time. Exposed-fastener panel is perfectly reasonable on a barn, a lean-to or a shed where periodic screw maintenance is realistic. On a home it is a false economy.
Does standing seam work on a low-slope roof?
Down considerably lower than shingle does, which is why it is the usual answer for porches, sunrooms and additions that keep leaking. We will tell you the minimum for the specific panel we would use.
What colours can I get?
A full Sherwin-Williams range. Matte black, charcoal, bronze and dark grey are what most people here choose, and they are what you see across our gallery.
Will the panels oil-can or ripple?
Some slight waviness in flat metal is physics, not a defect. Heavier gauge, striations in the pan and a properly flat deck underneath keep it to the point where you have to look for it.
Can standing seam go over shingles?
It can where the decking is sound and there is only one existing layer. We check the deck before recommending it, because clipping panel to soft decking is how you end up doing the job twice.
