Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Southwest Commercial Roofing offers standing seam metal roofing systems for businesses that want a roofing solution that is durable, low-maintenance and weather-resistant. These metal roofs feature panels that interlock vertically, creating a continuous surface with raised seams. They are known for their clean lines and modern aesthetic, making them a popular choice for both new builds and roof replacements across a wide range of commercial properties.

Slope Build-Up retrofit roof

This roofing system uses galvanized steel framing to add slope to flat or low-sloped roofs, improving drainage and preventing water from pooling on the surface. It also accommodates additional insulation to improve your facility's energy efficiency.

High-Profile retrofit roof

The framing systems on this roof are designed to raise the new roof panels above the existing roof, leaving space for additional insulation to improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs. It can be used on flat, low-slope and higher-slope roofs, making it the most versatile option of the three.

What's the Cost of Installing Standing Seam Metal Roofs?

Standing seam metal roof installation costs vary based on multiple factors, including the complexity of the installation and the roof size. While the up-front cost is higher than that of traditional materials like asphalt shingles, their exceptional performance and long lifespan, which can exceed 50 years, make them a worthwhile investment in the long run. On average, installation costs can range from $10 to $16 per square foot.

Enjoy Peace of Mind With Warrantied Roofing Solutions

One of the most valuable aspects of investing in a standing seam metal roof is the comprehensive warranty protection that comes with your installation. These warranties typically last 25 to 50 years, depending on which manufacturer and materials you choose. Most warranties cover important things like weather resistance, the fasteners that hold the roof together and any defects in the panels that could cause problems. When you’re looking at different standing seam options, make sure you read the warranty carefully to understand what’s covered and make sure it matches what you need for your building’s long-term care.

Warranty and Durability

Standing seam metal roofs come with strong warranties, often ranging from 25 to 50 years, depending on the manufacturer and the materials used. The warranty typically covers issues like weather resistance, fasteners, and panel system defects. Be sure to check the warranty details when choosing your roofing materials to ensure you’re getting the best protection.

FAQ About Standing Seam Metal Roofs

What is the difference between standing seam and corrugated metal roofing?

The primary difference is that standing seam metal roofs have raised seams and concealed fasteners, while corrugated metal roofing has a wavy pattern and visible fasteners. Standing seam is typically more durable, weathertight, and aesthetically pleasing, while corrugated is more affordable.

How long does a standing seam metal roof last?

A standing seam metal roof can last anywhere from 40 to 70 years, depending on the material, installation quality, and maintenance. This is significantly longer than traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles.

Can I install a standing seam metal roof on my own?

While it is technically possible for DIY enthusiasts to install a standing seam metal roof, it’s highly recommended to hire professional roofers with experience in metal roof installation to ensure proper installation and warranty protection.

What type of maintenance does a standing seam metal roof require?

Standing seam metal roofs require minimal maintenance. Periodic inspections to check for loose panels or debris buildup are recommended, but they are far less prone to common roofing issues like leaks, rot, and algae growth compared to other roofing materials.
