Here's How We Do This Right

First, we inspect your current roof and measure everything precisely. No surprises, no change orders halfway through the job. You know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs.

Next, we remove your old roofing down to the deck, checking for any structural issues that need attention. We install high-quality synthetic underlayment that won’t bond to the metal—this keeps heat from escaping and saves you money on energy bills.

Then we install your metal panels with mechanical fasteners that create a roof system capable of handling wind loads that would destroy other materials. Every seam is sealed, every detail is finished to prevent water infiltration.

Final step is cleanup and a walkthrough where we show you exactly what we did and how to maintain your new roof. Most maintenance is just keeping gutters clean and checking for debris after storms.

Standing Seam Metal Roof Locust

What's Included in Your Installation

Your metal roof installation includes everything needed for a complete system. We use standing seam panels that interlock completely, preventing wind uplift and water penetration. The panels run continuously from eave to ridge—no horizontal seams where water can collect.

In Locust, we see plenty of homes dealing with ice dam problems every winter. Our metal roof systems include proper ventilation and insulation details that prevent the heat buildup that causes ice dams. The smooth metal surface also sheds snow and ice naturally.

You get a choice of colors and finishes that complement your home’s style. We carry materials from trusted manufacturers with warranties that back up the performance claims. Steel, aluminum, and copper options are available depending on your budget and aesthetic preferences.

Every installation includes custom-fabricated trim pieces, proper flashing around penetrations, and gutters designed to handle the faster water runoff that comes with metal roofing. We don’t use generic parts—everything is sized for your specific roof.

Metal roofs typically last 50-70 years in New Jersey, which is 2-3 times longer than asphalt shingles. The key is proper installation with the right underlayment and ventilation systems. New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and summer storms are tough on roofing materials. Metal handles these conditions better than any other material because it doesn’t absorb water, doesn’t crack from temperature changes, and has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any roofing material. The longevity depends on the type of metal and coating system. Steel roofs with quality paint systems easily last 40-60 years. Aluminum roofs last similar timeframes and are naturally corrosion-resistant. Copper roofs can last over 100 years with minimal maintenance.
Yes, metal roofs can reduce cooling costs by up to 40% according to Oak Ridge National Laboratory studies. This happens because metal roofs reflect solar heat instead of absorbing it like asphalt shingles. In New Jersey summers, asphalt shingles can reach 150-180°F, turning your attic into an oven. Metal roofs with reflective coatings stay much cooler, reducing the heat load on your air conditioning system. The energy savings are real and measurable. Winter performance is also better than most people realize. The same Oak Ridge study found that metal roofs lose about half as much heat at night compared to asphalt shingles. This is due to the air space under the metal and proper underlayment installation that prevents heat transfer.
Metal roofs are the best solution for preventing ice dams, but proper installation is critical. The smooth surface allows snow and ice to slide off naturally, and metal doesn’t absorb heat like asphalt shingles. Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melting snow that then refreezes at the gutters. Metal roofs with proper ventilation and insulation details prevent this heat buildup. The continuous panels also eliminate the horizontal seams where ice can collect. We install metal roofs with synthetic underlayment that doesn’t bond to the metal, creating an air space that prevents heat transfer. Combined with proper attic ventilation, this system keeps your roof deck at consistent temperatures, preventing the melt-refreeze cycle that creates ice dams.
Metal roofs have the highest wind resistance ratings available, often rated for winds over 120 mph. The continuous panels and mechanical fastening system create a roof that can handle extreme weather that would destroy other materials. In hurricane-prone areas of Florida, metal roofs consistently show no damage while asphalt shingle and tile roofs suffer extensive damage. The panels are mechanically attached to the roof deck with screws, not just nails, creating a much stronger connection. Metal roofs also resist hail damage better than other materials. The impact resistance testing shows metal roofs can handle larger hail stones without damage. Even if there is minor denting from severe hail, the roof’s weather resistance isn’t compromised like it would be with cracked or missing shingles.
Standing seam metal roofs use continuous panels that run from eave to ridge with raised seams that interlock. This creates the strongest, most weather-resistant system available. The fasteners are hidden under the seams, preventing water infiltration. Metal shingles are designed to look like traditional roofing materials but with metal’s durability benefits. They can mimic the appearance of wood shakes, slate, or ceramic tiles while providing superior weather resistance and longevity. Standing seam is typically the better choice for New Jersey’s climate because of the continuous panels and superior weather resistance. Metal shingles work well when you want a traditional look with metal’s performance benefits, but they have more seams where water could potentially penetrate if not installed perfectly.
Most existing roof decks can support metal roofing because metal is lighter than most other roofing materials. We inspect your deck during the estimate to determine if any repairs or reinforcement are needed. Metal roofing weighs about 1-3 pounds per square foot compared to 2-4 pounds for asphalt shingles and 6-10 pounds for tile. This lighter weight actually reduces the structural load on your home. However, we do need to ensure the deck is solid and properly fastened. Common issues we address include replacing damaged or soft decking, adding blocking around penetrations, and ensuring proper fastening schedules. If your current roof has multiple layers of shingles, we’ll remove all of them to get down to the original deck for proper inspection and preparation.
