Metal is the longest-lasting roof you can put on a commercial building. We install standing seam and R-panel roofs, repair leaking ones, and retrofit aging metal roofs without shutting the building down.

Metal roofs cover warehouses, industrial and agricultural buildings, churches, retail and offices, on slopes from nearly flat to steep. Steel panels with a factory finish reflect heat, shed water quickly and don't burn. A well-built metal roof can last 40 years or more, which often makes it the lowest-cost roof over the life of a building even though it costs more up front.
The two main panel types solve different problems:
An old metal roof that leaks at its fasteners and seams doesn't always need to be torn off. Depending on the structure and the panels, the options are:
Metal's strengths are lifespan, fire resistance and low upkeep. The trade-offs are a higher first cost for standing seam, noise in rain on buildings without insulation below the panels, and hail. Large hail can dent metal without making it leak. Many commercial policies treat cosmetic denting differently from damage that affects function, so it's worth reading your policy before a storm, not after.
Standing seam roofs commonly last 40 years or more. R-panel roofs last decades too, with fastener maintenance along the way. Panel manufacturers offer finish warranties and, on some systems, weathertightness warranties with their own requirements.
Our own workmanship on commercial roofs is covered by a 20-year workmanship warranty, in writing. The manufacturer's warranty on the materials is separate, and we register it for you at closeout.
Most metal roof leaks trace to fasteners, end laps, flashing at walls and curbs, skylights and gutters, not to the panels themselves. We find the actual entry point, which is often uphill from the stain inside, repair it with the right fasteners and sealants, and document it with photos. A yearly inspection that tightens and replaces fasteners is cheap protection for an exposed-fastener roof.
How it works
A drone and on-roof inspection of the whole roof. Core samples and moisture scans when needed, through our testing partner.
A written report with photos, then a proposal that prices the real options (repair, restore or replace) with alternates.
Work is planned around your tenants, deliveries and business hours, with one point of contact and daily updates.
A final walkthrough, warranty registration, and the lien waivers and closeout documents your records need.
FAQ
Standing seam commonly lasts 40 years or more. R-panel lasts for decades as well, but its exposed fasteners need periodic tightening and replacement to stay watertight.
Usually. Most leaks are at fasteners, laps and flashings, and those are repairable. When leaks are widespread, a coating system or a retrofit over the existing panels is often a better value than tearing the roof off.
A new roof installed over the old metal one. It can be a single-ply membrane over insulation fitted between the ribs, or a new standing seam roof on a framing system. The building usually stays open during the work.
Large hail can dent panels. Dents alone don't always cause leaks, but hail can also damage seams, coatings, flashings and skylights. After a major storm, a documented inspection tells you what was actually affected. How your policy treats cosmetic damage is between you and your insurer.
If you'll own the building for a long time and want the least maintenance, standing seam. If first cost matters most and you're comfortable with fastener maintenance, R-panel. We price both when both make sense.
