FAQs
What are ribbed metal panels, and how do they differ from standing-seam roofing?
Ribbed panels are manufactured sheets of galvanized or galvalume steel that have exposed fasteners and evenly spaced raised ribs—usually every 9" to 12"—that add strength and channel water off the roof. In a standing-seam system, the fasteners are concealed beneath interlocking vertical seams, giving a cleaner look but at a higher cost. Ribbed panels install faster, require fewer specialized tools, and are the most budget-friendly metal option for residential and light-commercial buildings in Powell.
Is ribbed panel metal roofing a good choice for Powell’s climate?
Yes. Powell experiences hot summers, sub-zero winter temperatures, snow loads, hail, and high winds coming off the prairie. Ribbed panels are engineered to handle 120-mph wind ratings and 28- to 29-gauge panels resist denting from most hail. The baked-on polyester or PVDF finishes reflect solar heat in summer and shed snow quickly in winter, preventing ice dams. Because steel is non-combustible, ribbed roofs also add a layer of fire protection during Wyoming’s dry seasons.
How long will a ribbed metal roof last, and what warranties do you offer?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, a 29-gauge ribbed panel roof lasts 40–50 years, while heavier 26-gauge material can exceed 60 years. We back our panels with a 40-year paint/finish warranty and a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty against corrosion. Our workmanship warranty covers installation-related issues for 10 years, giving you full peace of mind.
What kind of maintenance does a ribbed panel roof require?
Maintenance is straightforward: 1) visually inspect the roof and fastener heads each spring and fall; 2) tighten or replace any loose neoprene-washer screws; 3) clear debris from valleys and gutters; 4) wash the surface with mild detergent if heavy dust or pollen accumulates; and 5) touch up scratches with color-matched paint to prevent rust. Most homeowners spend less than two hours a year on upkeep.
Can ribbed metal panels be installed over my existing asphalt shingles?
In many cases, yes. If the underlying decking is solid and there are no moisture or structural issues, we can place a synthetic underlayment and 1" x 4" purlins over the shingles, then attach the ribbed panels. This saves landfill fees, shortens the project timeline, and provides an extra thermal break. A free on-site assessment will confirm whether your current roof meets the required condition.
What does ribbed panel roofing cost in Powell, and what factors affect the price?
Installed pricing in the Powell area typically ranges from $5.50 to $8.50 per square foot. The final cost depends on gauge thickness (26- vs. 29-gauge), panel length, roof pitch, complexity (valleys, dormers, skylights), tear-off requirements, and chosen paint system (standard SMP vs. premium PVDF).
