FAQs
What is standing-seam metal roofing and why is it popular in Jamestown?
Standing-seam roofing is a premium metal system made of long, vertical panels that lock together with raised seams. Because the fasteners are concealed, the roof is virtually watertight and highly resistant to wind uplift. Home- and business-owners in Jamestown prefer it for its 50-plus-year service life, ability to shed lake-effect snow, and modern appearance.
How well does standing-seam roofing handle Jamestown’s snow and wind loads?
The interlocking seams, continuous panels, and hidden clip system allow the roof to withstand winds exceeding 120 mph and to shed heavy snow quickly. We engineer every project to meet or exceed New York State and City of Jamestown building codes, including additional fastening patterns at eaves and ridges for high-snow zones.
What metals, colors, and finishes are available?
We fabricate panels in 24- and 26-gauge galvanized or Galvalume® steel, aluminum, and even copper for specialty projects. More than 30 high-performance SMP and Kynar 500® colors are stocked, with options for matte, metallic, and textured finishes. Custom colors can be ordered, and all coatings carry 25- to 40-year fade and chalk warranties.
How long does installation take and what is the typical process?
After permitting and material ordering (1–2 weeks), most residential roofs are installed in 3–5 days, weather permitting. We remove old roofing, inspect the deck, install high-temp ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys, then roll-form the panels on-site for exact lengths. Finally, we add ridge caps, snow guards if desired, and clean the property thoroughly.
What maintenance does a standing-seam metal roof require?
Maintenance is minimal. We recommend an annual visual inspection to clear branches and debris from valleys and gutters, and to check sealant at penetrations such as chimneys. Because the fasteners are concealed, there are no exposed screws to back out or replace, reducing long-term upkeep compared with corrugated metal or asphalt shingles.
What lifespan and warranties can I expect?
Properly installed standing-seam roofs routinely last 50–70 years. We provide a 40-year manufacturer’s paint warranty, a 30-year substrate warranty against rust perforation, and a 10-year workmanship warranty covering installation-related leaks. Optional snow-retention and underlayment systems also carry their own manufacturer guarantees.
