Frequently Asked Questions
LEARN ABOUT THE VALUE OF METAL ROOFING
What is standing seam metal roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing is made from long, vertical panels of metal that run from the top of the roof to the bottom. The edges of the panels are raised where they connect, creating seams that snap or lock together. These seams help keep out rain, wind, and debris. This type of roofing is known for being very strong, lasting for decades, and giving homes or buildings a clean, modern look.
How long does a standing seam roof last?
A standing seam metal roof can last 40 to 70 years or even longer if it's taken care of. That’s much longer than most other types of roofs.
Is standing seam metal roofing noisy when it rains?
Not really. When it's installed correctly with insulation, it’s about as quiet as any other roof. Most people don’t notice a difference in sound.
Is standing seam roofing energy-efficient?
Yes, it is. The metal reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it, which helps keep your building cooler and can lower your energy bills, especially in hot places like Florida.
How much maintenance does a standing seam roof require?
Very little. It doesn’t crack, rot, or grow mold like other roofing materials. Just check it once in a while to make sure nothing is loose or blocked.
Is metal roofing more expensive than shingles?
Yes, the upfront cost is usually higher than shingles. But metal roofs last much longer and need fewer repairs, so you save money over time.
What colors and styles are available?
Standing seam metal roofs come in a wide variety of colors, finishes, and coatings, allowing homeowners to choose a look that matches their home’s style and curb appeal.
Can standing seam metal roofing be installed on any type of building?
Most of the time, yes. It works great on houses, businesses, barns, and more. The roof just needs the right slope so water can drain off properly.
