Metal Roofing Systems
What Are Metal Roofing Systems?
Metal roofing systems provide exceptional protection for commercial and industrial buildings. These systems use steel, aluminum, and copper to create durable roof coverings. Each material offers different benefits for your specific building needs.
Steel remains the most common choice for commercial metal roofs. This material offers excellent strength at reasonable costs. Aluminum resists corrosion better than steel, making it perfect for coastal areas. Copper provides an upscale appearance and incredible longevity, though at a higher price point.
Metal roofs earn their reputation through exceptional performance. They withstand extreme weather conditions better than most other roofing options. The popularity of metal roofing continues to grow for commercial buildings. Business owners appreciate the minimal maintenance requirements and long lifespan. With proper care, most metal roofs last 40+ years.

Metal Roof Installation
Applied Roofing Solutions offers expert installation for all commercial metal roofing systems. Our team handles projects of all sizes with precision and care.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam systems feature raised seams that connect panels while keeping fasteners hidden. Our roof installation process ensures proper panel alignment and secure connections. We pay special attention to expansion and contraction needs, which prevents oil-canning and buckling issues that affect improperly installed metal roofs.
Corrugated Metal Panels
Corrugated metal roofing offers excellent strength and water shedding at a lower price point. These panels feature a wavy pattern that adds rigidity to the material. The design allows for quick installation and works well on various building types.
Our team installs corrugated panels with precise overlaps and secure fasteners. We use proper flashing techniques at all transitions and penetrations.
Metal Roofing Maintenance Services
Even the most durable metal roofs benefit from regular maintenance. Applied Roofing Solutions offers comprehensive maintenance programs to extend your roof's lifespan.
Our maintenance plans include thorough inspections on a regular schedule. Technicians check for loose fasteners, sealant failures, and early signs of wear. We examine all flashings and transitions for potential issues. These inspections typically occur twice yearly - spring and fall.
Exposed fasteners require regular attention to prevent leaks. Our maintenance service includes checking and retightening loose fasteners. We replace any damaged or corroded screws with high-quality alternatives.
We check for deterioration on roofs with rubber washers on fasteners. Damaged washers are replaced to maintain watertight seals. This simple maintenance prevents many common leak issues.
Metal roofs benefit from periodic recoating to extend their life. We offer several coating options to address different needs:
- Reflective coatings to improve energy efficiency
- Rust-inhibiting coatings for older steel roofs
- Waterproofing coatings for added protection
Our team properly prepares surfaces before applying any coating. Proper preparation ensures good adhesion and maximum coating performance.
Seams and flashings represent the most vulnerable areas of any metal roof. Our maintenance service includes inspection and repair of these critical components. We replace deteriorated sealants and repair damaged flashing as needed.
We check seam integrity and make necessary adjustments for standing seam roofs. Proper seam function prevents water infiltration during heavy rains and snowmelt.
Repair Solutions
Even well-maintained metal roofs sometimes need repairs. Applied Roofing Solutions provides fast, effective repair services for all metal roofing systems.
Leak Detection and Repair
Our team uses advanced techniques to locate the trustworthy source of leaks. Water often travels from the entry point before becoming visible inside. We trace leaks to their origin and make proper repairs.
Repair methods depend on the specific issue and roof type. We might replace damaged panels, reseal penetrations, or repair flashings. All repairs use compatible materials that match your existing roof.
Panel Replacement
Damaged panels from fallen branches, hail, or other impacts require proper replacement. Our crew removes damaged sections without disturbing surrounding areas. We install new panels that match your existing roof in color and profile.
We can often source matching materials for older roofs, even for discontinued products. This allows for repairs that blend seamlessly with the original installation.
Rust and Corrosion Treatment
Steel roofs sometimes develop rust spots, especially at scratches or areas with coating damage. We treat these areas to stop corrosion from spreading. Our process includes removing loose rust, applying inhibitors, and recoating affected areas.
We assess whether repair or replacement is more sensible for more extensive corrosion and always recommend the most cost-effective long-term solution.
Flashing and Trim Repair
Metal roof flashings and trim pieces often need attention before the leading roof surface. These components face more extreme conditions at transitions and edges. We repair or replace damaged flashings to prevent water entry.
Ideal Applications
Metal roofing systems work exceptionally well for many commercial and industrial buildings. Their versatility suits various structures and architectural styles.
Commercial Buildings
Modern office buildings benefit from metal roofing's clean appearance and low maintenance. Standing seam systems provide a contemporary look that complements current architectural trends. Their energy efficiency also helps reduce operating costs.
Agricultural Structures
Farms and agricultural facilities face harsh conditions and tight budgets. Metal roofing offers the perfect solution with its durability and reasonable cost. Corrugated panels withstand the elements while protecting valuable equipment and livestock.
Industrial Facilities
Manufacturing plants and warehouses need reliable protection without frequent maintenance. Metal roofing delivers decades of performance with minimal upkeep. Its fire resistance and structural strength make it ideal for industrial applications.
Retail Complexes
Retail buildings need attractive, long-lasting roofing solutions. Metal systems with architectural finishes offer appealing aesthetics with excellent performance. Energy efficiency helps control utility costs for large retail spaces.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals and medical offices require roofing that prevents disruptions. Metal roofing's long lifespan means fewer replacements and less disruption to sensitive operations. Its clean surface also resists bacterial growth better than some other materials.
Educational Institutions
Schools and universities benefit from metal roofing's durability and low life-cycle cost. These institutions often operate on tight budgets and need roofing that lasts. Metal systems provide excellent value over time compared to traditional materials.
Benefits of Metal Roofing Systems
Exceptional Durability
Metal roofing systems last far longer than traditional roofing materials. Most properly installed metal roofs last 40+ years without major problems, which means fewer replacements and lower lifetime costs.
Steel, aluminum, and copper each offer different levels of durability. Your Applied Roofing Solutions consultant can help you choose the right metal for your needs and budget.
Superior Weather Resistance
Metal roofs excel in severe weather conditions. They withstand high winds, heavy snow loads, and hail better than most alternatives. Their smooth surface sheds water quickly, reducing the risk of leaks during heavy rains.
Most metal roofing carries high wind ratings, often exceeding 140 mph. This makes them ideal for areas prone to severe storms or hurricanes.
Energy Efficiency
Modern metal roofing systems offer excellent energy efficiency. Reflective coatings redirect solar heat away from your building. This solar reflection can reduce cooling costs by 10-25% during summer.
Metal roofing construction also allows for optimal insulation integration. This combination of reflection and insulation creates a highly efficient building envelope.
Fire Resistance
Metal roofing provides superior fire protection compared to many other materials. Steel and aluminum don't burn or support combustion. This resistance can improve your building's safety and potentially lower insurance premiums.
Minimal Maintenance
Metal roofing's simple design and durable materials require less maintenance than traditional systems. Basic inspections and minor repairs keep most metal roofs performing well for decades, saving time and money throughout the roof's life.
Eco-Friendly Attributes
Metal roofing ranks among the most sustainable commercial roofing options. Most metal roofing contains recycled content, often 25-95% depending on the material. At the end of its useful life, metal roofing remains 100% recyclable.
