Why Homeowners Around Here Choose Metal
Central Ohio weather keeps a roof busy: spring hail and wind, hot summers, and a winter of freezing and thawing. Metal handles all of it well.
- Long life — commonly 40 to 70 years, depending on the panel and finish.
- Storm-ready — many steel panels carry a Class 4 impact rating, the highest there is.
- Snow slides off, which helps keep ice dams from forming at the eaves.
- Reflective finishes can help keep the house cooler in summer.
- No rot, no insects — and the panels can be recycled when they’re finally retired.
Two Kinds of Metal Roof
Standing seam panels lock together at raised seams, with the fasteners hidden underneath. The result is clean, crisp lines and the longest-lasting metal roof you can buy.
Exposed-fastener panels, like 5V crimp and ribbed profiles, are screwed down through the panel itself. They cost less, and they suit farmhouse and cottage-style homes beautifully. The screws and washers should be checked from time to time over the years.

What About the Price?
Metal costs more up front than shingles, and standing seam costs more than exposed fastener. What you get for it is a roof you may never have to replace. Every home is different — size, pitch, dormers, valleys — so we price metal roofs from an on-site inspection.
