Metal roofing has gained popularity in recent years for its unique style and long-lasting performance. Standing seam is the premium metal roofing profile type. Because of the sleek appearance, it’s being used in more and more contemporary housing and commercial buildings.

Purchasing a metal roof is a big investment that can cost you $20,000 to $30,000, but it can actually save you money each year. Metal roofs will lessen your heating and cooling costs with energy savings of 7% to 15%.

A roof’s ultimate purpose is to protect you and your home from the outside elements. However, sometimes those elements can be so severe that they can cause damage to your roof.

When installing corrugated metal roofing panels, you’ll often encounter a pitch break in your roof. Your panels will need to transition from a low to a high slope to accommodate this pitch change.

Something as small and simple as screws and fasteners are easy to disregard as a vital component of a construction project. For metal roofs, fasteners make up less than 1% of the total cost of installation, yet they can result in 100% of the roof’s failure. Your roof can fail from broken fasteners, incorrectly installed fasteners, worn out sealing washers, or the simplest of errors: using the wrong screws.
