Standing-seam and screw-down metal systems with 40-70 year lifespans, installed by GAF Factory-Certified crews who do this every week — not as a sideline.
Asphalt runs 15-25 years in the DMV's freeze-thaw cycles. Properly installed standing seam runs 40-70. You buy one roof instead of three.
Metal sheds hail that bruises asphalt and holds seam integrity in winds that strip shingles. Insurance carriers know it — some offer premium credits for impact-rated metal roofs.
Reflective Kynar finishes cut summer attic temperatures and cooling bills — a real number in Maryland's humid summers — and many panels qualify as cool roofs.
Concealed-fastener panels with raised, interlocking seams — no exposed screws to back out and leak. The premium residential choice, with clean lines and the longest service life. Available in snap-lock and mechanically-seamed profiles.
Ribbed panels fastened through the face — a lower-cost metal option well suited to outbuildings, barns, and some low-slope sections, installed with proper gasketed fasteners and a fastener-replacement plan.
Whichever panel, the roof is only as good as what's under it. We typically tear off to inspect and repair decking, lay a high-temp underlayment, and detail every valley, penetration, and transition before a panel goes down.
A certified specialist assesses the work and documents it with dated photos — no cost, no obligation, the report is yours.
You see exactly what's needed and what it costs, in writing — standing seam vs. screw-down compared side by side.
We pull any required permits and schedule around you. If a storm is involved, we work directly with your insurer and meet your adjuster on site.
Installed right, fully cleaned up before we leave, and backed by the manufacturer's finish/substrate warranty plus our 2-year workmanship warranty.
Family-owned and operating across the DMV since 2005. Every contract carries our license numbers, every crew is GAF Factory-Certified, and every job is backed in writing.
No — over solid decking and underlayment, a metal roof is no louder than asphalt. The rain-on-a-barn sound comes from open-frame structures.
Sometimes, but we usually recommend tear-off so decking issues get found and fixed — that's what protects the 40-70 year lifespan.
Upfront, yes — typically 2-3x asphalt. Over the roof's life it's usually cheaper per year, and it adds resale value.
Standing seam hides its fasteners and is the premium residential choice; exposed-fastener screw-down panels cost less and suit outbuildings and some low-slope sections. We recommend based on your roof, not our margin.
