Suwanee Metal Roofing

Here is the metal decision reduced to its parts. Up front: a larger check than shingles. Over time: a long-lived roof that resists wind very well, lets leaves slide off and, in lighter finishes, bounces back some of the July sun. Whether that adds up for you depends on two variables. First, roof geometry. Long, uninterrupted planes keep panel waste and trim counts down. A roof broken up by dormers, valleys and short hips multiplies trim pieces and labor hours, and the price gap with shingles grows. Second, time horizon. The longer you plan to own the house, the more the durability side weighs. Our approach is to put two quotes on the table for the identical roof, one metal and one architectural shingle, each itemized, so the difference is a number you can see and question. Choose metal and the build follows the manufacturer's detail sheets: a heat-rated membrane underneath, foam closures at ridge and eave, trim from the same product family and screws driven to proper compression. Because panels shed water quickly, we size the gutters to keep pace and can hang them in the same week.
