FAQs
What is standing-seam metal roofing and why is it well-suited to Delano’s climate?
Standing-seam metal roofing consists of long, interlocking metal panels with raised seams that run vertically from eave to ridge. The concealed fasteners and continuous seams create an exceptionally watertight system. In Delano, where freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow and spring rains are common, the smooth panel design sheds snow quickly, resists ice damming, and prevents water infiltration. The factory-applied coatings are also engineered to withstand Minnesota’s UV exposure and temperature swings without cracking or fading.
How long can I expect a standing-seam metal roof to last compared with asphalt shingles?
A properly installed, 24- to 26-gauge standing-seam roof typically carries a 40- to 50-year manufacturer warranty and often performs for 60 years or more. High-quality Kynar 500® or SMP paint systems protect against corrosion and color loss. By contrast, architectural asphalt shingles in our region average 15–20 years before needing replacement. Over its lifespan, a metal roof usually eliminates at least two shingle tear-offs, saving money and reducing landfill waste.
Can the same standing-seam panels be used as vertical metal siding?
Yes. Many homeowners and commercial property owners in Delano choose matching standing-seam panels for walls, gables or accent areas. The panels are mounted over furring strips or a vented rainscreen, allowing moisture to drain away while providing a crisp, contemporary look. Using the same profile for roofing and siding creates a seamless aesthetic, simplifies color matching, and offers the same fire, impact and weather resistance on vertical surfaces.
Will a metal roof or siding be noisy during rain or hail?
When installed over solid sheathing (such as 5⁄8-inch plywood) with an underlayment and attic insulation, a standing-seam roof is no louder than an asphalt roof. The rigid deck absorbs sound, while the insulation dampens any remaining noise. For siding, the wall sheathing, insulation and interior drywall perform the same function. In fact, many customers report little to no audible difference after upgrading to metal.
What color and finish options are available, and will they fade over time?
We offer more than 30 standard colors plus custom hues, metallics and matte finishes. Premium PVDF (Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000®) coatings carry a 30-year fade and chalk warranty, ensuring long-term vibrancy even under Delano’s summer sun. Energy-efficient ‘Cool Roof’ colors reflect solar heat, lowering attic temperatures and potentially reducing cooling costs. Textured or ‘wrinkle’ finishes are also available and resist scratching during installation.
How much does standing-seam metal roofing or siding cost and what is the return on investment?
Installed pricing in the Delano area typically ranges from $9 to $14 per square foot for roofing and $7 to $12 per square foot for siding, depending on panel gauge, finish, roof complexity and substrate prep. Although upfront costs are higher than shingles or vinyl siding, owners recoup value through: • 2–3× longer service life • Up to 25% energy savings with cool finishes • Insurance discounts for Class 4 impact resistance • Increased resale value—metal roofs often return 85-95% of their cost in real-estate appraisals. Routine maintenance is minimal—an annual rinse and occasional snow-guard inspection—making lifetime ownership costs lower than conventional materials.
