Metal Roofing
Our metal roofing systems combine architectural-grade aluminum with advanced installation techniques to create durable, low-maintenance solutions. Featuring 26% thicker shingles than industry standards and fade-resistant Kynar coatings, these roofs withstand New England's extreme weather conditions. The standing seam design with hidden fasteners prevents rust while deep-textured folds reduce rain noise and enhance structural strength.
Roof Replacement
We specialize in full roof replacement services using premium metal materials that outlast traditional asphalt shingles by decades. Our process includes thorough inspections, ice and water shield installation, and proper attic ventilation. We offer lifetime warranties on both materials and workmanship, with options to install over existing roofs to reduce waste and costs.
Snow Guards
Our engineered snow retention systems prevent dangerous snow slides from metal roofs using tubular snow guards mounted with four brackets per 10 feet. These systems safely control snow melt patterns to protect property and people while preventing ice dam formation. Available in bar-style and pipe-style configurations that match roof aesthetics.
Chimney Caps
Custom-fabricated chimney caps protect masonry chimneys from water intrusion and animal entry while enhancing roof aesthetics. Made from copper, stainless steel, or aluminum with spark-preventing mesh screens, these caps integrate with metal roofing systems to provide lifetime protection against weather damage and structural deterioration.
Custom Gutters
We design and install seamless gutters in 5-inch and 6-inch K-style configurations that complement metal roofs. Available in .032 aluminum or copper with Kynar color matching, these leak-free systems feature reinforced hangers and optional gutter guards to manage heavy rainfall while protecting foundations from water damage.

Questions
What are the long-term cost benefits of metal roofing?
While initial costs are higher, metal roofs last 40-70 years versus 12-17 years for asphalt shingles. They reduce energy costs, require minimal maintenance, and eliminate frequent replacements, making them more economical over time.
Are metal roofs noisy during rain?
No. Our textured metal shingles actually reduce rain noise through deep folds that break up sound waves, creating a quieter experience compared to flat metal surfaces.
Do metal roofs attract lightning?
No. Aluminum roofs do not increase lightning risk. Metal conducts electricity safely but doesn't attract strikes more than other roofing materials according to UL testing.
Can I install solar panels on a metal roof?
Yes. Our standing seam and metal shingle roofs are specifically designed for easy solar panel integration using non-penetrating mounting systems that maintain roof warranties.
What warranty options are available?
We offer a lifetime workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties on materials. This includes 100% labor and parts coverage approved by the Metal Construction Association for comprehensive protection.
How do metal roofs handle hail damage?
Our products meet UL 2218 Class IV impact resistance standards. The textured surface and durable coatings resist hail damage, often qualifying homeowners for insurance premium discounts.
