FAQs
What does it mean to have a “factory-certified” crew install my metal roof in Blaine?
A factory-certified crew is a team that has completed hands-on training and testing provided directly by the metal-roofing manufacturer. Certification verifies that every installer understands the exact fastening patterns, panel alignments, flashing details, and sealant requirements specified by the brand. For you, this means the roof is installed to the manufacturer’s standards, qualifying you for extended material and workmanship warranties, reducing the risk of leaks, and ensuring the roof performs as its engineering reports promise in Blaine’s snow, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Which metal roofing systems do you offer for homes and businesses in Blaine?
We install standing-seam panels (mechanically seamed and snap-lock), stone-coated steel shingles, corrugated agricultural panels, and concealed-fastener metal shingles. Each style comes in Galvalume or galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper options, with Kynar 500® or SMP paint finishes rated for 30–40 years of color retention. During your consultation, we’ll discuss roof pitch, architectural style, budget, and local code requirements to recommend the best panel profile and gauge for your project.
How long does a metal-roof installation typically take once the factory-certified crew starts work?
A straightforward residential re-roof averages 2–4 days, including removal of the old roof, installation of synthetic underlayment and high-temperature ice-and-water shield, panel fabrication, and final cleanup. Complex roofs with multiple valleys, dormers, or custom flashing details can extend the schedule to 5–7 days. Commercial projects vary by square footage but generally progress at 2,500–3,500 sq. ft. per day with our 6-to-8-person certified crew and portable roll former.
How does a metal roof hold up to Blaine’s climate of heavy snow, ice, and summer storms?
Metal roofing excels in Blaine’s four-season climate. Panels are tested to UL 580 for uplift resistance and UL 2218 Class 4 for hail impact. A properly installed standing-seam roof sheds snow quickly, reducing ice-dam formation. We use color-matched snow guards or fences where necessary to control sliding snow over entrances. High-performance sealant and butyl tape remain flexible down to –40 °F, preventing water intrusion during freeze-thaw cycles. In summer, metal reflects solar radiation, lowering attic temperatures by up to 25 °F and reducing cooling costs.
What warranties do I receive when a factory-certified crew installs my metal roof?
Because installation meets manufacturer guidelines, you receive the full non-prorated material warranty—typically 40–50 years against rust perforation and paint fade/chalk. In addition, we provide a 10-year transferable workmanship warranty that covers leaks related to installation details such as flashings, fasteners, and seams. Some manufacturers also offer enhanced “Platinum” warranties that combine materials and labor into one 30-year coverage, available only through certified contractors like us.
What maintenance does a metal roof require after installation?
Routine maintenance is minimal. Once a year (or after a major storm) visually inspect the roof from the ground for displaced snow guards, debris buildup in valleys, or denting from large hail. Keep gutters clear so water flows freely off the panels. If tree sap, mildew, or airborne pollutants accumulate, rinse the panels with a garden hose and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid walking on the roof unless necessary; if you must, step on the flat of the pans, not the ribs. Should any fastener heads back out or sealant show wear, call our service department—repairs are covered under your workmanship warranty for the first 10 years.
