Metal Roofing
Standing seam roofs & accent roofs
Durable, low-maintenance metal roofing for full roofs and for porches, bays and dormers.
Standing seam metal roofing
Metal roofing sheds rain and snow quickly, stands up to wind when installed with the correct clips and fasteners, and needs very little maintenance. It is a strong choice for a whole roof or as an accent over porches, bays and dormers.
We install standing seam metal in copper and painted finishes. On our Jenkintown slate project, copper standing seam panels protect the lower roof sections.

Frequently asked questions
Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?
Installed over solid decking and underlayment, a metal roof is not noticeably louder than shingles inside the home.
Can metal be combined with a shingle roof?
Yes. Metal is often used on porches, bays and low-slope sections while the main roof is shingled.
