FAQs
What exactly is a standing-seam metal roof?
A standing-seam roof is made from long, interlocking metal panels that run vertically from eave to ridge. The raised seams (or “ribs”) conceal the fasteners, so no screws are exposed to the weather. This design creates a sleek appearance, exceptional water-tightness and greater wind resistance than traditional through-fastened metal sheets.
Why is standing-seam roofing a good choice for homes and businesses in Kelso?
Kelso’s climate brings steady rainfall, occasional windstorms and wide temperature swings. Standing-seam panels shed water quickly, resist uplift in high winds (tested to 120 mph or more) and allow the metal to expand and contract without loosening fasteners. The factory-applied PVDF paint systems also resist moss, mildew and coastal moisture, keeping roofs in southwest Washington looking new for decades.
How long will a standing-seam metal roof last and what warranties are available?
With proper installation, a standing-seam roof typically lasts 40-70 years—about two to three times longer than asphalt shingles. Most manufacturers back the metal substrate for 40-50 years against rust-through and offer 30-35-year fade/chalk paint warranties. Our Kelso installation team also provides a 10-year workmanship guarantee, so both the product and labor are covered.
Is a metal roof noisy during Kelso’s heavy rain or hail?
When installed over solid decking with underlayment and attic insulation—standard practice in our region—a standing-seam roof is only marginally louder than other roofing materials. The insulating layers absorb sound, and many clients report no noticeable difference inside the building even during downpours or hail events.
Can a standing-seam system be installed over my existing shingle roof?
Often, yes. If the current deck is sound and local code allows, we can install new panels over a single layer of shingles using a slip-sheet or specialized underlayment. This saves tear-off costs and keeps debris out of landfills. Our Kelso roofing specialists will inspect your structure to confirm it meets weight and ventilation requirements before recommending an overlay.
What maintenance does a standing-seam metal roof require?
Very little. Keep gutters clear, remove branches or heavy debris after storms and wash off airborne dirt or pollen with a garden hose once or twice a year. Because fasteners are concealed, there are no exposed screws to re-tighten. We also suggest a professional roof check every 5-7 years to verify sealant integrity around penetrations and to ensure the paint finish remains intact.
