What our customers say

Jason inspected our roof. He went out of his way to address a couple of issues we had and informed us of the cost to repair the ones remaining. Very pleased with his service!

Wes B.

Olin, Chris & the whole staff of HEP are wonderful, friendly & knowledgeable people. Olin, the Product Specialist who came to our home, was very thorough when he inspected our roof & wrote up our work order/proposal. He patiently answered our questions & explained in great detail the work that needed to be done. My Husband & I feel very valued as this company’s customers! I believe we are getting a great service at a reasonable cost. We are looking forward to getting our roof replaced in the coming week! We have had our Water Heater replaced & a small repair done in the past with HEP. We strongly recommend this great company!!

Susan R.

We have used HEP in the past for plumbing and also some roof issues. Because of this, they offered us a free roof inspection. The tech (Tim Lawson) that came out was on time (actually a little earlier than expected), was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took his time to explain the repairs that we will be needing to our roof, offered affordable pricing and was very professional. I would recommend this company as they are fair in price and have knowledgeable, friendly , professional employees. Thanks HEP and Tim Lawson.

Melanie B.

Tim Lawson and Matt Williams performed a thorough review of the roof at my condo, gave me my options and I chose one. They performed their work that day in a fine manner.

David E.

Great installers and great visual inspection they took care of us. Thank you

Genia S.

thank you to a wonderful lady ( "H" ) . JImmy Swanner repaired our ceiling quickly and did a great job.would highly recommed HEP..

Bev C.

Ruben was excellent when I was having drain issues. He was quick, explained everything throughly, and made sure I knew what my options were. A wonderful experience I just put an offer in on a home and wanted someone to check the place out for me and HEP was there! Not only was every technician that came out friendly, but they made sure I understood everything that was being told to me! They gave me clear and honest opinions about my AC, Roof, and electrical. They told me what was wrong, how to fix it, an approximate on how much it would be and even advice to make sure I get the most out of my repair life. I'm a first time home buyer and they made me feel confident enough about the condition of my home to be able to make a sound decision on it. I'll recommend them to everyone I know!

Nicole N.

HEP was prompt in getting our job estimated and starting work. We had them replace a patio roof and perform some other minor repairs on the roof. They came out on Saturday, and Jason walked through everything, explaining the rationale behind his recommendations. They were exactly in line with existing recommendations from our home inspection, so I had confidence that he was giving his honest opinion and not just trying to upsell. Due to a clerical error, they removed our entire roof by accident, but replaced it at no cost. They immediately notified me when this happened and got it rectified right away. They were honest and transparent through the whole process. After the completion of the work, I notified them of a couple of punch list items and they knocked them out quickly without me having to pester or make a scene like you would with a less reputable contractor. This is the kind of contractor that you keep around. Reliable, easy to contact, responsive, and honest. I am a very independent DIYer, but if I can't do it, my first call will definitely be to HEP. . Thanks Jason and everyone at HEP.

Zachary C.

Due to a miscommunication I need to apologize for a negative review I left. Hep didn't call codes, but I imagine that codes inspector is working himself to the bone, and instead of hearing "rough-in inspection" I heard "complaint" and I am so very sorry I was so reactive. It's been over a year since the work was done and we've had zero leaks! Job well done y'all!

Heather V.

HEP is by far one of the best companies, of any kind, I've ever dealt with. We've had HEP replace our HVAC system and just signed contracts with them for some major plumbing repair and a new roof. In our experience with HEP, we've found that they do everything, and they do everything really well. Which is great for us because we don't have to waste any time going through the giant pain process of finding contractors and then finding out if we can trust them. With HEP, the whole experience is like working with your brothers and sisters. Everyone we've met has gone out of their way to make us feel like we're part of their family. To me, the kind of quality service you get from that kind of a business relationship is worth its weight in gold. Thank you, HEP!

HEP Company’s Metal Roofing Services in Detail

Metal Roof Installation

HEP begins every new metal roof project with an in-depth on-site assessment. Roofing specialists evaluate pitch, decking integrity, attic ventilation pathways, and flashing zones around chimneys or skylights. Once measurements are confirmed, the team fabricates panels, trims, and flashing components to align precisely with the project’s unique geometry. Installation crews then secure panels using concealed fastener methods or exposed fasteners with premium gasketed screws, depending on the selected profile. This ensures a watertight, wind-resistant system customized for Graysville’s weather patterns.

Metal Roof Replacement

For properties sporting aged asphalt shingles, cracked concrete tiles, or deteriorated wood shakes, HEP offers full tear-off and replacement services. The company’s crews remove existing roofing materials down to the decking, inspect sheathing for rot or mold, and replace damaged sections before installing a new waterproof underlayment. The replacement phase includes upgrading flashings, gutters, and ridge vents, ensuring the roof assembly meets current building codes and local energy efficiency recommendations.

Metal Roof Repair and Maintenance

Storm events occasionally dislodge panels, and stray limbs can scratch protective coatings. HEP’s repair division addresses localized damage quickly, sealing minor penetrations, replacing missing fasteners, and color-matching replacement panels to preserve aesthetics. Routine maintenance packages involve annual inspections, sealant touch-ups, and debris removal from valleys and gutters to prevent water backup.

Specialized Standing Seam Solutions

Standing seam metal roofing has emerged as the premium choice among discerning Graysville property owners who appreciate sleek lines and superior weathertightness. HEP fabricates continuous standing seam panels on site using portable roll formers, eliminating the risk of seam separation that can occur with shorter factory lengths. Clips accommodate thermal movement, and concealed fasteners protect against corrosion.

Materials and Profiles Offered by HEP Company

Selecting the correct metal substrate and panel profile is central to achieving both functional performance and visual harmony with Graysville’s architectural styles.

Galvalume

Galvalume panels combine zinc and aluminum for excellent corrosion resistance. This alloy withstands the humid subtropical climate prevalent in north-central Alabama while reflecting sunlight efficiently.

Aluminum

Properties along creek beds and in lower-lying, moisture-rich zones benefit from aluminum’s inherent rust-proof composition. HEP supplies baked-on Kynar 500® or Hylar 5000® finishes for enhanced color retention.

Steel Shingles

For homeowners who prefer the look of slate or wood shake while demanding metal’s longevity, stone-coated steel shingles replicate traditional textures without the weight or maintenance headaches.

Corrugated Panels

Historically popular on barns, corrugated metal is now specified on contemporary homes seeking a rustic-industrial aesthetic. Deep ridges shed water rapidly, a perk during Graysville’s heavy thunderstorms.

The HEP Metal Roofing Process

Initial Roof Assessment

An on-site inspection includes thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture, drone photography for high-angle visuals, and moisture meter readings at decking penetrations. These diagnostic tools guide the project scope and material choices.

Precision Measurements and Custom Fabrication

Every roof plane, valley angle, and ridge length is entered into HEP’s CAD platform, where takeoffs generate fabrication orders. Panels are cut to exact length with hemmed edges, reducing reliance on sealant-only joints.

On-Site Preparation and Tear-Off

Crews systematically protect landscaping with tarps and magnetic nail rollers. Existing roofing layers are removed, and decking seams are fastened with ring-shank nails for added uplift resistance.

Expert Installation Techniques

Underlayment: High-temperature synthetic or peel-and-stick membranes provide secondary water protection.
Starter Strips: Precision-bent metal starter ensures a uniform first course and integrated drip edge.
Panel Alignment: Laser lines guarantee perfectly straight coursing, critical for the visual prominence of metal roofing.
Ridge Vent Integration: Continuous venting promotes attic airflow, lowering interior attic temperatures during July heat waves.

Final Inspection and Client Walkthrough

A punch-list covers fastener torque checks, sealant bead integrity, and coating surface inspection. Homeowners receive digital copies of installation photographs for future warranty reference.

Weather Challenges in Graysville and How HEP Metal Roofs Excel

Graysville’s microclimate experiences:

Sudden summer downpours exceeding two inches per hour
Wind gusts topping 60 mph during frontal passages
Occasional hail ranging from pea-sized to ping-pong-ball dimensions
Rare but impactful ice events in winter

HEP counteracts these forces with 24-gauge steel options rated for 150-mph wind uplift, UL-2218 Class 4 impact resistance, and slip-resistant roof coatings reducing ice adhesion. Ridge caps include butyl sealant strips and stitch screws for extra reinforcement, ensuring the system remains intact when severe weather strikes.

Energy Efficiency and Environmental Advantages

Metal roofing’s high solar reflectivity index (SRI) deflects infrared radiation. Cool roof coatings keep attic temperatures cooler by up to 50°F on peak summer afternoons, translating into lower HVAC loads. For homeowners exploring renewable energy, metal roofs provide an ideal substrate for photovoltaic array mounting; HEP’s installation teams incorporate S-5! clamps that attach solar racking without penetrating the panel surface, preserving weathertightness. Recyclability at end-of-life further reduces landfill waste, aligning with Graysville’s growing emphasis on sustainability initiatives.

Aesthetic Options Tailored to Graysville Architecture

Neighborhood covenants and individual tastes vary. HEP accommodates both rustic and contemporary styles through:

Wide color palette featuring earth tones, bold primaries, and matte finishes
Vertical seam heights from 1" to 2" for subtle or dramatic shadow lines
Accent metal for porches and bay windows matching field panel colors
Custom curved panels for turreted roofs common in older Victorian-inspired homes
Decorative snow guards sporting leaf motifs that complement Southern landscaping themes

By blending modern coatings with traditional profiles, HEP helps maintain the visual character of Graysville neighborhoods while offering the next generation of weather protection.

Longevity and Warranty Considerations

Metal roofing routinely lasts 40–70 years, significantly outpacing asphalt’s typical 15–20-year lifespan. HEP backs its installations with multi-layer warranties that cover:

Manufacturer’s finish integrity against chipping, cracking, and excessive chalking
Substrate corrosion protection
Workmanship guarantees on panel alignment, flashing details, and fastener installation

Routine inspections outlined in HEP’s maintenance program preserve warranty coverage, ensuring investment value remains intact.

Safety Standards and Crew Training at HEP Company

Job-site safety is integrated into every roofing project. HEP crews abide by OSHA fall-protection guidelines, using:

Guard rails and safety nets on steep-slope installations
Personal fall arrest systems (PFAS) with shock-absorbing lanyards
Anchor points rated to 5,000 pounds installed prior to work commencement
Daily safety briefings covering weather alerts, tool inspections, and hazard mitigation

All foremen hold certified competent person status for fall protection, and new hires undergo a 10-hour OSHA course. These protocols ensure projects proceed smoothly without compromising worker or occupant safety.

Maintaining Your Metal Roof after Installation

Seasonal Maintenance Checklist

Spring: Clear pollen and seed pods from gutters to prevent water overflow.
Summer: Inspect panel surfaces for airborne pollen film that can harbor moisture, and rinse with low-pressure water if needed.
Fall: Remove fallen leaves from valleys to maintain uninterrupted water flow.
Winter: Visually check fasteners from ground level after freeze-thaw cycles; contact HEP for any concerns.

Preventative Tips for Long-Term Performance

Trim back tree limbs at least six feet from the roof edge to reduce abrasion.
Avoid walking on ribbed panels except where structurally supported; use padded soft-soled shoes if access is unavoidable.
Never use harsh wire brushes or abrasive pads on painted surfaces; opt instead for non-abrasive sponge cleaning with mild detergent.

Signs That Indicate You Need Professional Attention

Lifted ridge caps or exposed sealant strips
Dislodged snow guards or solar mounting brackets
Rust streaks near panel cut edges
Audible rattling during high winds

HEP’s maintenance team addresses these early warning signs swiftly, preserving roof integrity and extending lifespan.

Integrating Roof Accessories and Penetrations

Professional attention to every penetration maintains the integrity of a metal roof system. HEP’s technicians adhere to manufacturer specifications for flashings and butyl tapes, guaranteeing a cohesive and watertight assembly.

Skylights and Sun Tunnels

Low-profile curb-mounted skylights are flashed with pre-bent aluminum kits matched to panel ribs.
Sun tunnels incorporate stainless-steel dome collars that shed water efficiently, eliminating the need for caulk-only seals.
Condensation diverters beneath skylight curbs route moisture away from interior drywall, reducing mold risk in humid Graysville summers.

HVAC Curbs and Pipe Boots

HVAC curbs receive custom-fabricated cricket diverters that split runoff, preventing standing water behind units on low-slope transitions. EPDM pipe boots, rated for constant temperatures up to 250°F, sleeve around gas flues and plumbing vents; stainless steel clamps compress flexible collars without damaging the finish coat.

Commercial and Agricultural Applications for Metal Roofing

Metal roofing’s resilience extends beyond single-family homes, offering large-scale benefits to retail centers, warehouses, and farm outbuildings in the Graysville region.

Low-Slope Retrofit Systems

HEP engineers retrofit systems utilizing structural standing seam panels over existing flat or membrane roofs. Lightweight sub-framing increases pitch without tearing out underlying insulation, accelerating installation timelines while enhancing drainage.

Structural Metal Panels for Barns

Deep-corrugation panels resist denting from livestock contact.
G-90 or Galvalume substrates combat barnyard ammonia vapors that accelerate corrosion in lesser materials.
Optional translucent ridge caps supply natural daylight, lowering electricity usage for agricultural operations.

Fire Resistance and Insurance Advantages

Metal’s non-combustible properties yield Class A fire ratings, the highest classification within building code testing. Many insurance carriers recognize reduced ignition risk and offer premium credits for metal-clad structures. HEP’s panel systems incorporate UL-listed assemblies that prevent flame spread, an asset for rural parcels bordering woodland where brush fires pose a seasonal threat.

Acoustic Performance and Interior Comfort

Contrary to common perception, a properly insulated metal roof absorbs sound rather than amplifying it. HEP specifies:

Rigid-board insulation above decking for commercial spaces
Fiberglass batts between rafters for residential applications
Acoustical underlayments utilizing recycled rubber granules in theater or auditorium retrofits

These layered assemblies muffle rain impact noise, achieving interior decibel levels comparable to or quieter than asphalt-shingle roofs.

Compliance with Local Codes and Permitting

Graysville enforces municipal ordinances governing wind uplift, edge metal securement, and minimum energy performance. HEP oversees the permitting process by:

Preparing structural load calculations indicating panel weight and uplift resistance
Submitting Manufacturer’s Product Approval sheets with Miami-Dade or State of Florida certifications where applicable
Coordinating city inspections at underlayment, mid-roof, and final stages

By shouldering code compliance responsibilities, HEP ensures every metal roofing project progresses smoothly from planning through final approval, safeguarding property owners from potential red-tag delays.
