STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF
A standing seam metal roof is a type of metal roof consisting of interlocking panels. The panels are joined together at the vertical seams, which run along the length of the roof. These seams are formed by bending the edges of the panels up and then interlocking them together. The interlocking seams create a watertight seal that helps to prevent leaks.
Standing seam metal roofs are known for their durability and longevity. They can last for decades with little maintenance required. They are also resistant to fire, wind, and hail. In addition, standing seam metal roofs can be reflective, which can help to lower cooling costs in the summer.
There are two main types of standing seam metal roofs: snap-lock and mechanically seamed. Snap-lock standing seam roofs are the most common type. They are easy to install and can be installed over a variety of roof slopes. Mechanically seamed standing seam roofs are more difficult to install, but they offer a more secure seam.
Standing seam metal roofs are a good choice for a variety of applications, including homes, businesses, and industrial buildings. However, they are typically more expensive than other types of metal roofs, such as corrugated metal roofs.
TRADITIONAL SHINGLED ROOFS
Shingle roofs are a type of roof covering made up of individual overlapping elements. These elements are typically flat, rectangular shapes laid in courses from the bottom edge of the roof up, with each successive course overlapping the joints below. Shingles are held by the roof rafters and are made from various materials such as wood, slate, flagstone, metal, plastic, and composite materials like fibre cement and asphalt shingles.

There are several different types of shingle roofs, including:
- 3-tab shingles:These are the most common type of shingle roof. They are made of asphalt and are relatively inexpensive to install. However, they are also the least durable type of shingle roof and may only last for 15-20 years.
- Architectural shingles:These shingles are thicker and more dimensional than 3-tab shingles. They are also more durable and can last for 25-30 years or more.
- Luxury shingles:These shingles are the most durable type of shingle roof and can last for 50 years or more. They are made from a variety of materials, including slate, metal, and concrete tile.
The cost of a shingle roof will vary depending on the type of shingle you choose, the size of your roof, and the complexity of the job. We are very competitive with our rates and offer only the best products like our CertainTeed Landmark shingle. They are a popular choice for homeowners looking for a durable and attractive roofing option. Here’s a breakdown of their features:
- Dual-layer design:Landmark shingles feature a tough fiberglass base and a protective outer layer, mimicking the look of natural slate or wood shakes.
- Durability:They come with a Class A fire resistance rating, the highest available, and CertainTeed offers a limited lifetime warranty on their Landmark shingles.
- Aesthetics:Landmark shingles come in a wide variety of colors to suit any home style.
- Algae resistance:CertainTeed offers Landmark shingles with algae resistance to prevent black streaks and discoloration on your roof.
Shingle roofs are a popular choice for homeowners because they are relatively affordable, easy to install, and durable.
EXPOSED FASTENER METAL ROOF
An exposed fastener metal roof is a type of metal roofing system where the metal panels are secured to the roof deck with fasteners that are visible on the finished roof surface. These fasteners are typically screws with washers that penetrate the panel and are screwed into the roof deck below.
Here are some of the pros and cons of exposed fastener metal roofs:
Pros
- Less expensive than concealed fastener panels
- Easier and faster to install.
- Durable and long-lasting
- Wide variety of styles and colors available
Cons
- Fasteners are visible, which some people find less aesthetically pleasing.
- Over time, the holes around the fasteners can become wallowed out, especially if low-quality fasteners are used, which can lead to leaks.
- Not ideal for areas with high winds because the exposed fasteners create uplift points
Exposed fastener metal roofs are a good choice for a variety of applications, including homes, garages, sheds, and commercial buildings. They are a cost-effective option that is easy to install and can last for many years. However, if you are looking for a roof with a more finished look, a concealed fastener metal roof may be a better option.
