Metal Roofing
Metal roofing built to outlast everything.
The Comparison
Metal vs. asphalt: lifespan & benefits
We'll be straight with you: metal costs more up front. But over the life of your home, it's often the cheaper roof.
Metal
40-70 yrs
Higher upfront cost, far lower lifetime cost, and it usually adds resale value when it comes time to sell.
Asphalt
15-25 yrs
Lower upfront cost and a great fit for many homes and budgets.
Asphalt: replaced 2-3 times over 50 years. Metal: once.
Sheds snow & rain
Slick metal surfaces let West Michigan's heavy snow slide off instead of piling up and stressing your structure.
Class A fire & high-wind rated
The highest fire-resistance class, plus wind ratings that hold firm through the storms that tear shingles loose.
Reflects heat
Metal bounces solar heat away instead of soaking it up, which can trim your cooling costs through the summer.
Virtually maintenance-free
No granule loss, no curling, no moss. Once it's on, a metal roof mostly takes care of itself.
Systems
Types we install
Not all metal roofs are the same. We'll walk your property, talk through your budget and your goals, and recommend the profile that actually fits the building, not just the one with the biggest margin.
Standing seam
The premium choice. Fasteners are concealed beneath interlocking vertical seams, so nothing penetrates the weather surface, which means clean lines and exceptional weather-tightness with nothing to back out or leak over time. Its sleek look pairs beautifully with modern and traditional homes alike, and it handles low-slope sections that asphalt simply can't.
Exposed-fastener panel (ag-panel)
The workhorse. Ribbed panels screw directly to the deck or purlins, which makes them cost-effective and fast to install over big spans. It's the go-to for barns, garages, pole buildings, and commercial structures where coverage and value matter most. You get the durability and snow-shedding of metal at a price point well below standing seam, a smart investment wherever a roof needs to be tough, not fancy.
Applications
Where metal works best
Metal earns its keep on just about any structure in West Michigan. Here's where we install it most.
Homes
A modern, distinctive look that lasts 40 to 70 years. Standing seam boosts curb appeal on traditional and modern homes alike.
Barns & pole buildings
Large spans covered fast and affordably. Ag-panel sheds snow, resists rust, and protects livestock, equipment, and storage for decades.
Garages & outbuildings
Detached garages, workshops, and sheds get a low-maintenance roof that matches the house or stands on its own.
Commercial & low-slope
Standing seam handles shallow pitches that shingles can't, giving businesses a durable, professional roof with minimal upkeep and long warranty life.
Lifespan
40-70
years of roof from a single install
Common Questions
Metal roof myths, answered
Isn't it loud in the rain?
Not with proper decking and underlayment underneath. Most homeowners say it's quieter than their old asphalt roof.
Does it dent from hail?
A proper gauge panel handles hail better than asphalt shingles. It won't dent from normal hail and often qualifies for insurance discounts.
Does metal attract lightning?
No more than any other roof. Metal is non-combustible, which actually makes it safer in a lightning strike than wood or asphalt.
Can you install over my existing shingles?
Sometimes. We inspect your decking first and tell you straight whether an overlay makes sense or a tear-off is the right call.
Won't it rust?
Modern metal roofing uses coated steel or aluminum. With a quality coating it won't rust for decades.
