Why Choose Metal Roofing
Metal roofing has become a preferred choice for homeowners in Athens because it delivers real, measurable benefits. A properly installed metal roof can last 40-70 years or more, far exceeding the typical 15-20 year lifespan of asphalt shingles. Metal roofs resist wind, hail, and heavy rain while reflecting solar heat, which can lower cooling costs during Georgia's hot summers.
We handle every step of metal roof installation and repair—from assessing your current roof structure and determining the right metal profile and gauge for your home, to managing flashing, ventilation, and proper fastening that prevents leaks and ensures performance. Whether you're replacing an aging roof or installing metal roofing on a new structure, we work to the specifications your home requires.
What We Do
✓
Professional Installation
We measure your roof, select the appropriate metal profile and fastening system, and install every panel, flashing, and seal to prevent leaks and ensure long-term performance.
✓
Durability & Weather Resistance
Metal roofing stands up to Athens weather—heavy rain, wind, and hail. The material itself doesn't rot, crack, or degrade like asphalt, and proper installation means fewer repairs over time.
✓
Energy Efficiency
Metal's reflective surface bounces solar heat away from your home, reducing air conditioning load during summer months and lowering your energy bills.
Metal roofing installation requires precision. Improper fastening, inadequate flashing, or poor ventilation can lead to leaks and premature failure. We follow industry best practices for metal roof installation, including proper underlayment, correct fastener spacing, and sealed seams that keep water out.
We work with homeowners to explain the metal roofing options available—standing seam, metal shingles, corrugated panels, and other profiles—so you understand what you're choosing and why it fits your home's needs and budget.
Metal Roofing Questions
Common questions about metal roofing in Athens, Georgia.
How long does a metal roof last?
A properly installed metal roof typically lasts 40-70 years or longer, depending on the metal type, profile, and maintenance. This is significantly longer than asphalt shingles, which usually last 15-20 years.
Does metal roofing make noise in the rain?
No. With proper insulation and underlayment underneath the metal panels, rain noise is minimal and similar to other roofing types. Modern metal roofs are installed with layers that absorb sound.
Can metal roofing be installed over my existing roof?
In some cases, yes, but it depends on your current roof's condition and weight capacity. We inspect your roof structure to determine whether a new installation over the existing roof or a full replacement is the right approach.
What metal roofing styles are available?
Common options include standing seam (vertical seams with hidden fasteners), metal shingles (that mimic traditional shingle appearance), corrugated panels, and flat-lock designs. Each offers different aesthetics and performance characteristics.
Is metal roofing more expensive than asphalt?
Metal roofing typically costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but the longer lifespan and lower maintenance needs mean lower total cost over 30-50 years. We can discuss the investment and long-term value during a consultation.
