A Day on a Metal Roof Installation

In Lakeland, our crew arrived at 7:00 AM for a standing seam installation on a commercial building. By midday, the old roof was removed and the underlayment in place. Over the next three days, metal panels were installed, seams locked, and flashing sealed. The property owner praised the speed, cleanliness, and professionalism of the team.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary types are standing seam (concealed fastener panels with raised seams), exposed fastener panels (corrugated or ribbed profiles), metal shingles (stamped panels that replicate shingle or tile appearance), and stone-coated steel tile. Standing seam offers the highest wind resistance and longest maintenance-free performance. Each type has applications where it excels, and we help property owners select the right system for their specific needs.
A properly installed metal roof typically lasts 40 to 70 years depending on the material and coating. Aluminum and copper roofs can last even longer. This lifespan is two to three times that of a premium asphalt shingle roof, which makes metal roofing one of the most cost-effective choices when evaluated over the building’s lifetime.
Modern metal roofing installed over solid decking with proper underlayment is not significantly louder than other roofing materials during rain. The perception of metal roofs being noisy comes from agricultural and industrial buildings where metal panels are installed directly over open framing with no decking or insulation. Residential and commercial metal roofing with standard installation methods produces a sound level comparable to other roof types.
No. Metal roofing does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike. Lightning seeks the highest point in an area regardless of material. However, in the unlikely event that lightning does strike a metal roof, the non-combustible nature of metal actually makes it safer than combustible roofing materials, as it will not ignite.
In many cases, yes. Metal roofing can be installed over one layer of existing asphalt shingles using a furring strip or batten system, which saves the cost and landfill impact of a tear-off. The existing roof structure must be capable of supporting the combined weight, and the existing shingles must be in reasonably flat condition. We assess each situation to determine whether overlay installation is appropriate.
