Specialty · Standing Seam Metal

A roofline with
clean vertical lines.

Architectural standing seam in 24-gauge steel or copper, bent to the length of your run on the brake in our shop or on site. Concealed clips, no fasteners through the panel face, and a roof that reads as deliberate from the street.

What it is

The architectural metal roof, done as a specialty.

Standing seam is the metal roof you choose on purpose, for the look as much as the lifespan. Vertical panels lock together along raised seams with the clips hidden underneath, so nothing punctures the panel face and the line of the roof stays unbroken from eave to ridge. It belongs in the same conversation as slate, tile, and copper: a premium system that defines the architecture of the house rather than just covering it. We treat it that way, with the same shop fabrication and the same crew that handles our specialty work.

Fabrication

We bend the panel to your run, in our shop or on site.

We do not install pre-cut stock panels with a seam partway up the slope. Coil stock runs through our brake, in the shop or right there on site, to the exact length of your ridge run the morning it goes up. On a long slope that means one continuous panel from eave to ridge, with no lapped seam sitting in the field to leak later.

Method

Concealed clips, nothing through the face.

Stainless clips lock each panel to the deck and the next panel seams over them. The panel face is never punctured, which removes the most common metal-roof failure point, and the panel is free to expand and contract with the seasons the way the steel was designed to. That is what gets a metal roof to the high end of its service life.

Detail

Snow rails sized to your roof, not a catalog.

A metal roof sheds snow in sheets, and where that sheet lands matters over a walkway, a door, or a shrub line. We size the snow rail to your pitch and your run so the snow releases in a controlled way instead of all at once onto whoever is below.

Bring us in early on a standing seam roof.

Metal rewards a real measure. We are happy to walk the roof, take field dimensions, and put an honest number in your hand. The inspection is free and the proposal is one page.
