Two different metal roofs for two different goals.
Standing seam reads modern and lasts the longest. Stone-coated steel reads traditional and matches asphalt-shingle aesthetics.
Standing seam Kynar 500
Vertical seam-locked panels, concealed fasteners, 50-year Kynar paint warranty. The modern premium look. 40 to 70 year life.
Stone-coated steel
Steel base with stone granule surface. Reads visually like architectural asphalt shake or tile, but with metal lifespan. 40 to 50 year life.
Copper standing seam
Highest-tier specialty metal. Natural patina over 8 to 15 years. 100+ year life. Reserved for historic homes and luxury custom builds.
Every roof we install includes these 8 components.
Metal roofs are install-spec sensitive. Skipping line items below shortens lifespan and voids paint warranty.
Full tear-off to decking
No metal-over-shingle installs. Old material disposed of properly. Decking inspected from above.
WeatherLock ice-and-water shield
Full eave + valley coverage. Critical under metal because of ice-dam dynamics.
Synthetic underlayment, full deck
High-temp rated synthetic underlayment under metal. Felt would not survive the heat cycle.
Decking repair (published rate)
Rotted plywood replaced at per-sheet rate. No surprise change orders. Decking must be true for standing seam.
Color-matched drip edge + Z-flashing
Painted metal drip edge color-matched to the panels. Z-flashing where roof meets vertical walls.
Concealed-fastener clip system
Standing seam uses concealed clip fasteners. No exposed fasteners on field panels means no future leak source.
Ridge cap + ventilation closure
Matching ridge cap with foam closure strips and continuous ridge venting where attic ventilation requires it.
50-year paint warranty registered
Kynar 500 PVDF paint warranty registered on your behalf. 30-year substrate warranty on the steel.
Five steps from first call to warranty registration.
Most homes complete in one day. Larger or multi-pitch homes in two.
Inspect
HAAG-Certified inspection at your home. Drone + ground photos. Decking probed from the attic. Written assessment with measurements.

Metal roof questions.
How long does a metal roof actually last in Virginia and Maryland?
40 to 70 years for standing seam Kynar 500. 40 to 50 years for stone-coated steel. 100+ years for copper standing seam with proper patina maintenance. Paint warranty is typically 50 years; the steel substrate itself outlasts the paint.
Is metal noisy in rain?
Not when installed over a proper roof deck with synthetic underlayment. The myth comes from barn-style metal installed over open framing. Residential metal roofs over solid decking sound essentially the same as asphalt inside the home.
Will a metal roof attract lightning?
No. The myth is widespread but wrong. Lightning seeks the tallest object, not the most conductive. A metal roof on a house with trees nearby is no more likely to be struck than any other roof. If struck, metal actually disperses energy better than asphalt and is less likely to catch fire.
Will my HOA approve a metal roof?
Depends on the neighborhood. Stone-coated steel is approved almost everywhere (it visually reads like architectural shingles). Standing seam is more restricted; some traditional HOAs ban it, contemporary or transitional neighborhoods often allow it. We help with HOA architectural review submissions.
Does metal save on energy bills?
Yes, measurably. Metal reflects roughly 60 to 70% of solar radiant heat versus asphalt absorbing it. Estimated savings of 15 to 25% on summer cooling bills in Virginia and Maryland climate. Cool-rated finishes (ENERGY STAR) push savings higher and may qualify for federal tax credits.
Do insurance carriers discount metal roofs?
Most carriers offer a premium reduction for impact-resistant metal: USAA, State Farm, Allstate, Erie, Travelers. Discounts range from 15 to 30% on the roof portion of your premium. The savings often offset the higher install cost over the life of the roof.
What about hail damage on metal?
Metal handles hail dramatically better than asphalt. Standing seam panels rated Class 4 (highest UL 2218 rating) resist baseball-sized hail without functional damage. Cosmetic dents are possible on lighter-gauge stone-coated; heavier-gauge stone-coated resists most hail. Insurance restoration is rare on metal roofs because the damage threshold is so high.
Do you offer financing on metal roofs?
Yes, through Foundation Finance, Service Finance, Hearth, and Synchrony. A typical 144-month plan on a $48,000 standing seam install runs around $445 to $495 per month at competitive APRs. The longer term reflects the longer roof life. See financing options for full payment scenarios.

Four principles Lenny refuses to compromise.
Founded by Lenny Scarola in 1999. 2,400+ verified reviews across Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor, GuildQuality, BBB, and more. We approach roofing more like a forensic investigation than a sales appointment.
Diagnose before you sell
Inspector on the ladder, not a sales rep. Sometimes the real problem isn’t a roof at all.
Install to manufacturer spec
Less than 1% qualify for OC Platinum. Even the best shingles installed incorrectly can fail.
Honest pricing, no games
No inflate-and-discount. No “today only.” The quote is the price.
Trust compounds over time
Same leadership 25+ years. After the storms pass and the trucks disappear, what matters is who’s still standing.
“I’d rather lose a job because someone needed time to think than pressure someone into making a decision they don’t fully understand. The cheapest roof is almost never the cheapest roof long term. Trust compounds over time.”
