Standing Seam Metal Roof

What This Service Involves

Standing seam is the premium choice for Puget Sound homes because its raised, interlocking seams keep every fastener hidden and protected from constant moisture. With no exposed screws to back out or leak over time, these panels handle decades of Western Washington downpours without the maintenance headaches of screw-down systems. We fabricate continuous panels to fit your rafter lengths, minimizing seams on long runs typical of Northwest gable and shed roofs. The vertical ribs also let rain, fir needles, and moss debris slide away cleanly instead of collecting and holding moisture.

Benefits

Concealed fasteners eliminate the leak points that plague exposed-fastener roofs; continuous panels shed heavy rain and organic debris efficiently; clean architectural profile favored by many Seattle-area HOAs; thermal movement is absorbed by the seams without oil-canning stress; exceptional longevity in a high-moisture climate

Our Process

1) Measure rafter runs and pitch to plan continuous panel lengths; 2) Install synthetic underlayment and a high-temp ice-and-water barrier at eaves and valleys; 3) Set panels and seam them with concealed clips that allow thermal movement; 4) Detail ridge, hips, and penetrations with matching custom flashing

What Affects the Cost

Panel gauge and premium coating selection; roof length and number of seams required; clip system and site fabrication needs; complexity of hips, valleys, and curved sections; substrate preparation and underlayment upgrades

Best Time of Year

Dry summer months are best for standing seam fabrication and installation across the Sound, but our weather-staged process keeps projects moving through the shoulder seasons.
