Modern Metal Roofing for Your Raleigh home 

The Benefits of Metal Roofing 

Metal roofing has surged in popularity due to its long lifespan, energy efficiency, and wind resistance.

The History and Types of Metal Roofing 

Metal roofs have been used since the 9th century B.C., though modern options now resemble shingles, tiles, wood shakes, or slate.

Vertical Panel Systems

The most common system is the vertical panel, available in two types:

Exposed Fastener Panels: Fastened directly with screws/nails, using rubber washers for water resistance.

Standing-Seam Panels: Attached using concealed clips or strips, offering superior water-tightness and lower maintenance.

Choosing the Right Material 

Popular metal materials include galvanized steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc alloys. We recommend Galvalume® for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.

Metal Finishes

Siliconized-Polyester: Economical with long-lasting durability.

Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000®: Ideal for deeper colors, offering excellent color retention and weather resistance.

Unpainted metal Options 

Copper, stainless steel, and zinc are popular unpainted choices. Copper, while striking and long-lasting (up to 50 years), may develop a green patina over time.

Key Advantages of Metal Roofing

Long Lifespan: Metal roofs last 2-3 times longer than traditional roofs, averaging 50+ years.

Energy Efficiency: Lighter colors reflect heat, with many options being ENERGY STAR® rated.

Eco-Friendly: Metal roofing can qualify for tax credits and LEED points.
