• A standing seam roof is composed of many interlocking panels that run vertically from the roof’s ridge to the eaves. The interlocking seam where two panels join together is raised above the roof’s flat surface to allow water to run off without seeping between panels.
• The method most commonly used to secure the panels to the roof sheathing is the use of hidden fasteners. The fasteners are secured to the raised portion of each panel and subsequently covered by the next adjoining panel during installation.
  • • • Luxury Look: The Standing Seam Series offers a classic metal roofing look without the lap seams and exposed fasteners of lower-quality systems. We custom-fabricates each panel to your exact specifications, allowing for endless design possibilities.

        Available in eight standard colors, our Standing Seam roofing includes the Kynar finish that protects against color fading or delamination.

      • Reliable: Standing seam metal roofs offer robust weather defense. Installing an Forever Roof standing seam roof ensures protection against snow, rain, hail, wind, moisture, mold and mildew, UV exposure, and pests.
      • Eco-Friendly: Forever Roofs offer exceptional energy efficiency, minimizing the need for repairs, and are recyclable.

That’s a lot of technical words to understand. Let us put it this way: We can’t wait to SHOW you the differences our products and any other metal roof manufacturer. There’s a big difference in performance, but a small difference in price.

When you choose Metal Roofs Direct for your residential metal roof project, we’ll design and install a metal roof that will provide superior benefits for your home. Below are some of the excellent benefits that our metal roofs provide.

Durability

Metal roofs can hold up well against all types of harsh weather conditions. It can even withstand debris and animal activity. The impact of extreme weather in the Wisconsin area makes metal roofing the best choice for durability.

Low Maintenance

Maintenance on a metal roof is so simple that any homeowner can forget about it. Like any other roofing material, regular maintenance is a must. However, the upkeep on a metal roof is so limited, that unlike other solutions like shingles, concrete, or tile, you’ll have a worry-free roof and save on costs in the long run.

Longevity

The durability and ease of maintenance of metal roofs contribute to their long lifespan of up to 50-70 years. That means you may never need to replace your home’s roof again in your lifetime.

Environment-Friendly

In most cases, a quality metal roof is made from 35%-95% recyclable material. While the lifespan of a metal roof will be very long, when the day comes that you need to remove it for whatever reasons, the entire thing will be 100% recyclable, as opposed to being dumped in a landfill.

Furthermore, its heat-reflecting capabilities mean the homeowner will save on home energy costs by reducing the need for cooling in the home.

Value

While a metal roof is generally more expensive up front, it will cost less over its lifetime. The long-term investment is worth it considering the reduction of maintenance and repair costs over the roof’s lifetime. Moreover, warranties on metal roofs tend to be exceptional.

Do you want to own or do you want to rent your roof?

While metal roofing costs more than asphalt shingles upfront, they have a significantly longer life expectancy that helps offset your initial spending. Our forever metal roof will last about 100 years, while traditional asphalt roofs last about 10 to 15 years.  Why is that important? Well, look at this way: If an Asphalt roof costs say, $10,000 today,  you have to replace it every 12 years (most warranties and insurance companies say 10 years, but we’re being generous). Do you think the roof will be cheaper or more expensive in 12 years? You probably said more, so let’s say in 12 years that roof is now $12,500. In 24 years, you’ll be replacing it again, and again the price will go up, and so let’s say its $15,000, again for 12 years of life. So for 36 years useful life, you’ve paid $10,000 + $12,500 + $15,000 = $37,500. A Forever Metal Roof is cost-competitive within the range of top-quality asphalt shingles, but for the sake of comparison, let’s say the metal roof is expensive at $15,000 – one time. In 36 years of useful life, the Metal roof cost $15,000 and the asphalt roof cost $37,500 – and you still have to buy 60 more years of useful life to equal the metal roof from the beginning. So the question is: how many times do you want to rent your roof?

It’s not uncommon for asphalt shingles to fly off during strong winds or to be easily damaged by hail. Asphalt can also be prone to mildew or mold from moisture buildup.

In contrast, metal roofing can hold up to many conditions and doesn’t pose a risk of harmful moisture buildup. It’s also fire-resistant, and safe from lightning strikes when properly installed. So, while with asphalt you might get a few dents from a major hail storm, with metal you’ll get more durability against extreme elements.

Metal roofs are 100% recyclable. Metal roofing manufacturers use anywhere from 25% to 95% recycled materials in the production of their products. Aside from maximizing the use of recycled materials in production, metal roofs can often be resealed to extend their life-cycle instead of needing to be entirely replaced. Moreover, it’s unlikely that they’ll end up in a landfill when they’re no longer in use.

Metal roofs are the best choice for homeowners who want to optimize their property’s use of energy. They offer up to 40% reduction in energy costs in the summer and a 15% reduction in energy costs in the winter when constructed with a four-inch strapping system and in a reflective light color, such as white, light green, or blue. These roofs can run 50 to 60 degrees cooler than dark asphalt shingles, reflecting harsh sunlight back instead of trapping it so that it enters your home.

The upfront costs of installing metal roofing become even easier to justify when you consider its effect on your home value. According to Home Guides, homeowners can expect to see an average of 85.9% of the total cost of a metal roof. This means that even if you’re not planning to stay in your home for the next 40 to 70 years, you can still reap the cost-effective benefits of metal roofing.

You can get a discount on your homeowners’ insurance when you install a metal roof on your home. Since they’re more durable and less prone to damage from the weather, some homeowners’ insurance companies offer policy discounts of up to 35% for those with metal roofing. It’s worth checking if your policy covers this type of promotion and what the discount would be. However, if you want a metal roof and your homeowners’ insurance doesn’t offer a lowered rate, switch your policy to a provider that does.

Depending on your local building codes, you can save money on the installation of a new metal roof by having it installed directly over existing asphalt shingles. (Please talk to one of our consultants before considering this option. Underlayment and decking are very important considerations in your metal roof. )  If installing over your existing roof makes sense, the process cuts down the cost of labor since there’s no time spent removing the shingles, and is compatible with the installation of a strapping system. You only need to make sure to have your current roof properly inspected before putting metal roofing over it so that you’re not trapping in problems such as moisture buildups or rodents.

Whatever metal roof system you need, Metal Roofs Direct can help you choose the best option for your specific roofing needs. Our roofing contractors have extensive experience with these metal installations.

Metal roofs come in a variety of colors, styles,and textures more than any other roofing material. They can be made to look like wood shakes, standard asphalt shingles, and even tile. Many styles come in sheets that can be installed quickly and easily, while metal shingles and metal tiles are individually placed and fastened.

Let’s Look at a roof really costs using an analogy: Let’s say a normal car costs $25,000, sound about right? And let’s say that car looks good (but not great), gets average gas mileage, is prone to normal wear and tear, and will last about 100,000 miles before it begins to need serious repairs, averaging $1500 per year until, of course, you buy a new car, say 10 years later. Will the new car 10 years from now cost more or less than your original car?

Now let’s say I have a different car that you can buy. This one is more expensive–$50,000. But what if the second car looked absolutely STUNNING. In addition, instead of getting 20 miles per gallon, it got 35. Finally, what if this car never got dents, never started looking old, never lost any resale value, and never needed any kind of repair or maintenance for 100 years or more. Over the course of the life of both cars, which is the more expensive option?

So, why buy an asphalt roof just to pay more over 10-15 years than to buy one metal roof forever?
