You will also need to choose your materials—architectural shingles, metal, or tile each carry different price points.

About this service

A standing seam roof consists of metal panels that run vertically from the ridge to the eaves, with raised seams that lock together. This design keeps the fasteners hidden and protects them from the elements, which significantly reduces the risk of leaks compared to traditional exposed-fastener roofs. While the initial investment is higher due to the materials and labor, many homeowners choose it for its longevity and clean, modern look. We provide expert installation to ensure every seam is perfectly secured.

Many homeowners prefer fall for roofing because the temperatures are moderate and the weather patterns are usually more stable than in spring. This makes it a great time to seal up your home before the winter snow or freezing rain arrives. It allows us to work at a steady pace, ensuring every shingle is placed perfectly before the climate turns harsh.
