FAQs
What is a standing-seam metal roof and how is it different from other metal roofing profiles?
A standing-seam roof is made of continuous metal panels that run vertically from the eave to the ridge. The seams, where adjacent panels join, are raised above the level of the roofing surface and mechanically or snap-locked together, creating a watertight seal without exposed fasteners. This differs from corrugated or exposed-fastener metal panels, which rely on visible screws that penetrate the metal; those fasteners can loosen over time, whereas standing-seam systems keep all attachment points concealed and protected from weather.
Is standing-seam metal roofing a good fit for the Benton, AR climate?
Yes. Benton experiences hot, humid summers, occasional hail, and the threat of high winds and heavy rain during severe storms. Standing-seam metal roofing is engineered to handle all of these conditions. The interlocking seams resist wind uplift up to 140 mph or more, the heavy-gauge steel or aluminum panels withstand hail impact better than asphalt shingles, and the baked-on coatings reflect solar heat, helping keep attics cooler and reducing cooling costs in Benton’s summer heat.
How long will a standing-seam roof last and what warranties are available?
A properly installed standing-seam roof typically lasts 40–70 years, often outliving three or four asphalt shingle cycles. The metal itself is non-combustible and corrosion-resistant, especially when coated with Kynar 500® or similar PVDF paint systems. Our profiles come with a 40- to 50-year finish warranty against fading, chalking, and peeling, plus a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty against perforation. We also provide a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related issues.
How much does standing-seam metal roofing cost in Benton, and can it save me money over time?
Installed pricing generally ranges from $10–$15 per square foot, depending on panel gauge, color finish, roof complexity, and tear-off requirements. While that is roughly two to three times the cost of a premium architectural shingle roof, standing-seam metal pays off over its longer service life, lower maintenance, and potential energy savings of 10–25 % on summer cooling bills. You may also qualify for reduced homeowner-insurance premiums because of the roof’s fire and hail resistance.
What maintenance does a standing-seam roof require?
Maintenance is minimal. We recommend visual inspections each spring and fall to clear leaves from valleys and gutters, check for debris around penetrations, and ensure sealant intact at pipe boots. Because the fasteners are concealed, you don’t need periodic screw re-tightening common with exposed-fastener systems. Wash the roof with a garden hose and mild detergent every few years to keep the finish looking new. If any panel gets scratched to bare metal, apply touch-up paint promptly to protect the coating.
Can a standing-seam roof be installed over my existing shingles, and how long does installation take?
In many cases, yes. Building codes in Saline County allow a metal-over-shingle installation provided the roof deck is sound, ventilation is adequate, and only one layer of shingles is present. We add a high-temperature synthetic underlayment and 1×3 purlins or a slip sheet to create an even surface and avoid telegraphing shingle lines. Re-roofing over shingles saves tear-off costs and reduces landfill waste. A typical 2,500-sq-ft Benton home can be completed in 3–5 days, weather permitting.
