Standing seam vs screw-down
Standing seam
Hidden fasteners and raised seams. Fewer leak points; the premium choice for homes.
Screw-down
Exposed fasteners, lower cost. Common on garages, shops and barns.
Materials
We source metal panels and trim from New Mexico suppliers including Metal Center, in many colors and gauges.
Metal over a flat roof?
Metal needs slope. A flat pueblo-style roof stays flat and is better served by foam, coatings or TPO. See coating services.
Already have metal?
An older screw-down roof may only need its fasteners and seams sealed and a fresh coat.
Call (505) 886-8732 to compare metal options.
Common questions
Is metal loud in monsoon rain?
Over solid decking with underlayment, it's usually not much louder than other roofs.
Does metal cost more than shingles?
Up front, yes. It lasts much longer, so the cost per year can be competitive.
