If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Ricketts home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Metal Roofing Consultation
Free on-site consultation. We measure, assess your roof geometry, and present panel options with realistic pricing. Standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle profiles. You pick the system that fits your home and budget.
Material Preparation
Metal roof panels are custom-ordered to the exact lengths needed for your roof. Trim, flashing, and ridge cap pieces specified and fabricated for your specific roof geometry. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
Professional Metal Crew
Installation by our dedicated metal crew, not a shingle crew with a metal job on the side. These installers do metal roofing every week. Seams are tight, transitions are clean, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the property with you and point out the finished details. Manufacturer warranty and workmanship warranty provided in writing. Your metal roof is covered for decades.
