Standing seam metal roofing
Metal shows the quality of the installation.
Standing seam panels run from ridge to eave, held by concealed clips under seams that stand above the flat of the panel, so no screws pierce the face of the metal. A wavy deck or a clip fastened too tight shows up as ripples in the finished roof, so we don’t take shortcuts.
How we work
How we install a standing seam roof
A straight answer on fit.
A roofer checks your slope, flashings and exposure and talks through profile, metal and color with you, and tells you plainly if another roof would suit your home better. The written scope lists the panels, underlayment, trims and flashings with the price.
- Slope and roof condition
- Walls, valleys, vents and skylights
- Sun, wind and salt-air exposure
A flat deck under every panel.
On a replacement, the old roof comes off and the deck is checked closely, since metal shows every dip and hump beneath it. Underlayment suited to the heat under metal goes down, and we photograph it before the panels cover it.
Clips that let the metal move.
Each panel is set straight and square and held by concealed clips that grip the seam while leaving the metal room to expand in the afternoon sun and contract at night, which keeps it from buckling or working fasteners loose. The seams are locked together from ridge to eave.
Trims, flashings and closures to finish.
Eaves, rakes, ridge, valleys and walls get matching trims and flashings, and the panel ends get closures that keep out wind-driven rain, pests and debris. We walk the finished roof with you and go over our 10-year workmanship warranty (call for details). For a metal roof that already leaks, see metal roof repair.

Reviews from the people we roof for, on Google.
I was recommended this roofing company by a friend, and I’m really glad I went with them. I had a problem with water leaking into my attic from the flashing around the chimney, and the team was very helpful from the start. Tony was the roofer working with me, and he was always professional and friendly. He took care of resealing the flashing and chimney, which made the leak much better right away. He kept in touch with me after the work, and now we’re working on sealing the chimney even more to make sure everything is perfect. I feel confident that the team will get everything fixed up right. Based on my experience so far, I’d definitely give them five stars. Thanks to everyone there for their hard work!

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about standing seam metal roofing.
How is standing seam different from other metal roofs?
The biggest difference is the fasteners. Exposed-fastener metal panels are screwed through their face and rely on rubber washers that break down in the sun, while standing seam hides its fasteners under the seams. That leaves fewer openings for water and a cleaner look from the street.
Is a standing seam roof noisy when it rains?
Not usually on a home. Over a solid deck with underlayment and an insulated attic, rain on metal sounds much like rain on other roofs. The drumming people remember comes from panels over open framing, like a barn, which is also what you’ll hear under a metal patio cover.
What is oil-canning, and can you prevent it?
Oil-canning is a slight waviness that can appear in the flat part of metal panels, most visible in low, raking light. It’s cosmetic and doesn’t change how the roof sheds water. No installer can rule it out entirely, but a flat deck, careful handling and clips that aren’t fastened too tight keep it to a minimum, and panels with light ribbing in the flats make it harder to see.
Can standing seam go on a low-slope roof?
Often, yes. Some standing seam panels are designed for lower slopes than shingles or tile can handle, but the panel and seam type have to match the pitch. We confirm your slope first, and if metal isn’t the right fit, a flat roofing system may suit it better.
Does standing seam cost more than a shingle roof?
Usually, at least up front. The panels, trims and specialized labor cost more than an asphalt shingle roof, and the final price depends on your roof’s size, shape and details. Your written scope shows the price before any work starts, and if you’d like to compare, we can also scope a shingle roof replacement for the same roof.
