Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Concealed fasteners, raised interlocking seams. The system I trust most on a house — if the seam is mechanically locked, not snapped.

The metal roofing systems we install
No roofing system is universally good or bad. Each page explains what the system is, what it does well, where it commonly fails, who it fits, and who it does not.
Interlocking Metal Shingle Roofing
Painted steel shingles that lock on all four sides. Slate or shake looks with metal performance — and fewer installers who do it right.
Stone-Coated Steel Roofing
Steel panels with a stone-granule finish that look like asphalt, shake or tile. Popular for the familiar look; I am careful where I recommend them.
Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing
Screw-down panels — the lowest-cost metal roof. Proven, simple, and it asks for maintenance every year. Not below 4/12 on our jobs.
Paint Systems & Coil Coatings
The paint on the steel is a system in its own right. PVDF versus SMP, what fades, what chalks, and why the finish decides how the roof looks in year 20.
The same four systems, on finished houses
Which one suits a roof depends on its pitch and its details. These are ours.
