Is this right for your home?

Exposed-fastener panels give homes and porches a recognizable metal roof appearance. Compare rib spacing, panel finishes and coordinated trim using actual samples.

What to compare

Discuss the proposed panel gauge, roof slope, underlayment, flashing and fastener specification. The whole assembly determines suitability.

Plan the scope and budget

Include a maintenance discussion for screws, sealing washers, laps and penetrations. Compare the full installed scope with concealed-fastener options.

Make the first conversation useful.

Share your address, a wide photo of the area, any close-up photos you can take from a safe position, and the result you want. Tell us whether you are planning ahead or addressing an active problem.

We can discuss options and arrange an assessment. Confirm any inspection or diagnostic fee when scheduling; an installation estimate and a diagnostic visit can have different scopes.

PREPARING FOR METAL ROOFING

Can metal roofing go over shingles?

On a suitable existing roof, metal panels can be installed over shingles. Retaining the shingles can reduce tear-off and disposal costs and keep that material out of the landfill. We first assess the roof deck, existing layers, moisture damage and the selected panel system, and confirm applicable local requirements.

Prepare the attachment surface

This project shows wood furring strips fitted over the shingles to provide attachment points for screw-fastened metal panels. Strip spacing, fastening and separation layers must suit the selected roofing system.

Add weather protection

The new metal roof becomes the outer weather-protection layer. Flashing, transitions and ventilation still need a complete installation plan; existing damage must be addressed before it is covered.

Plan thermal performance

A designed airspace and compatible insulation can improve thermal performance beneath the metal roof. Existing shingles alone do not provide a specified insulation value; discuss the assembly and any added insulation in your proposal.
