Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Since our inception in 1925, we have prided ourselves on a firmly established reputation for quality metal roofing. We have made significant investments in modern machinery to maximize both functional and aesthetic value in today's colored standing seam metal roofs. We are confident that our double-locked standing seam metal roof system is the longest lasting and most functional system available for pitched roof applications.

Double-lock standing seam metal roof systems are well-suited to Maine's ever-changing weather. The key feature with our metal roof system that sets it apart from most other roof systems is that there are no exposed fasteners as they are hidden beneath the metal roof surface. Our metal roof system is installed using 20 inch wide roof panels that are machine fabricated on site from either 26 or 24 gauge mill finish galvalume, 24 gauge color-coated galvalume with a Kynar 500 finish, .032 color-coated aluminum with a Kynar 500 finish, or 16 ounce red copper. The roof panels are attached to the roof deck with concealed cleats that are integrated into a double-locked standing seam. All roof penetrations, including skylights, vent pipes and chimneys are properly flashed and incorporated into the metal roof panels.

Since our first installations of colored metal roofs in the early 1980's, there have been significant technological improvements and material advancements. We have chosen to use rust-resistant galvalume that can withstand chips, scratches and other minor damage that is common over the course of a roof's lifetime. Technological developments in the color coating of the galvalume now provides our customers with a product that is ultra cool and meets current Energy Star© specifications. The coated paint system reflects UV rays and heat, providing a longer-lasting and more environmentally friendly roof system. In addition, the Energy Policy Act that Congress passed in 2005 allows a tax credit for homeowners who install qualified energy-efficient improvements to an existing home from 1/1/06 to 12/31/07. Our color color-coated galvalume and aluminum roof systems meet this criterion. There are more than 20 colors to choose from. We have included a link to our metal suppliers’ color charts below.

With our many years of experience and thousands of roof installations, we have proven expertise installing standing seam metal roofing on a variety of building types. Our metal roof systems are suitable for commercial, public and residential buildings. We recommend installing our metal roof system on structures with a minimum roof slope of 2" / 12". Adequate slope enhances a roof's ability to properly shed water, ice and snow.

One significant benefit of a metal roof system is its ability to shed ice and snow, effectively working to minimize significant weight loads during winters with heavy snows. In some cases, sliding of ice and snow over entrance ways and parking areas can be a safety concern. In these instances, we recommend installation of a snow guard system. This system is functional and attractive, arresting sliding snow and ice while maintaining a sleek design and a color coordinated appearance. We have provided a link to the snow guard manufacturer's web site below.

Our commitment to quality metal roof systems is honored through a 10-year leak-free warranty on our workmanship. The material supplier provides a 35-year metal and paint warranty on the 24 gauge color-coated galvalume and a 25-year metal warranty for the mill finish galvalume plus.

With more than 80 years of experience installing standing seam metal roof systems, we are confident in the product we provide to our customers. Our skilled roof craftsman pride themselves in leak free, long lasting and aesthetically pleasing roof systems. We take pride in maintaining our hard earned reputation as the premier metal roofing company in Maine.
