What We Build
Metal roofing. Nothing else.
No siding, no gutters, no shingles. Metal roofs are the entire business — and doing one thing means doing it better, faster, and for less.
Standing Seam
Concealed-fastener panels with clean vertical lines. No exposed screws, nothing to back out, nothing to reseal — the premium system, installed to spec.

Repair & Restoration
Leaks, failed seams, storm damage. We diagnose first and fix what's broken — no pushing you into a whole new roof.

Two Systems, One Standard
Standing seam vs. exposed fastener.
Both are premium metal, installed by the same in-house crews. The difference is the look, the fastening, and the price — here's the honest breakdown.
Standing Seam
The premium system
- Concealed fasteners — nothing exposed to the weather
- Clean vertical lines and a sharp, modern profile
- Panels float with the temperature — no screws to back out or reseal
- The pick for your forever home
Exposed Fastener
The value system
- Gasketed screws fastened through the panel, set on the line
- Same premium steel, simpler install
- Lower cost per square — the budget-smart metal roof
- Great for homes, barns, and outbuildings

Swatches are photos of the actual painted steel — screens still shift color a little, so every quote comes with real metal samples in hand.
Our Steel
Michigan metal,
Michigan metal,
made in our own shop.
Every color you just looked at is real, and we make it ourselves: every panel is rolled and every piece of trim is bent in our own Michigan shop. No mystery steel, no third-hand supply chain — we know exactly what goes on your roof, because we made it.
Let's Talk Cost
Yes, metal costs more than shingles. Ours costs less than theirs.
We're not going to dance around price. A metal roof is a bigger check than a shingle roof — once. Here's why the math works.
01
Focus is cheaper
Metal is all we buy, all we stock, and all our crews install. No learning on your roof, no padded bids — we consistently price under contractors who "also do" metal.
02
One roof, not three
A shingle roof gets bought two or three times while one metal roof just sits there working. Buy once and you're out of the roof-buying business for good.
03
Full price transparency
Our full rate card is on the pricing page — and Build Your Roof turns it into your number, live, no contact info needed. If a repair solves it, we'll tell you that instead — it's your money.

Start to Finish
How a roof happens.
One real job, photographed at every stage — so you know exactly what to expect before we show up.
STAGE 01
Tear-off & look
Old shingles come off (or stay, if we're going over the top) and we inspect every inch of the deck.
STAGE 02
Fix the deck
Soft spots and rot get replaced now — a metal roof is only as good as what it's fastened to.
STAGE 03
Underlayment
Synthetic underlayment and ice & water shield go down — the waterproof backup layer.
STAGE 04
Panels & trim
Custom-cut panels set on the line, then ridge, valleys, chimneys, and sidewalls — the detail work that decides whether a roof ever leaks.
STAGE 05
Clean up & walk it
Magnet-sweep the yard, haul the debris, and walk the finished roof with you. Then we're done — and so are you, for good.

Common Questions
What homeowners ask before they call.
The stuff everyone wonders about metal roofs — answered straight, no salesman spin.
Is a metal roof loud when it rains?
Nope — that's tin-barn memory talking. Your roof goes over a solid deck and underlayment, so rain sounds about the same as it does on shingles. Some folks say it's actually quieter.
Can you install over my existing shingles?
With exposed fastener, often yes — one layer in decent shape can stay put, which saves you the tear-off cost and keeps a dumpster out of your driveway. Standing seam always gets a full tear-off. The inspection settles whether your roof qualifies.
How long will it actually last?
The steel is good for 40–70 years, and the paint finish carries a 40-year warranty. Realistically, it's the last roof the house needs while you own it.
Will hail dent it? Will snow slide off in sheets?
Hail that would destroy shingles usually just tests metal — big hail can cosmetically dent panels, but they keep shedding water. Snow does release in slides — that's why snow rail on every eave comes with every roof we install.
Will it mess with my cell phone reception?
Not usually. A metal roof alone rarely causes cell problems — if you get a good signal outside, you'll still get reliable service inside.
Reception issues are almost always about weak coverage in your area, not the roofing material. And if your signal was shaky to begin with, Wi-Fi calling or a simple cell booster restores strong, consistent service fast.
What about walking on it, rust, or lightning?
You can walk it (we'll show you where to step), the galvanized steel and paint system is exactly what the 40-year warranty covers, and no — metal roofs don't attract lightning.
Do the screws ever come loose?
On standing seam there are no exposed screws — nothing to loosen. On exposed fastener, the gasketed screws want a check-up every several years; we tell you the schedule up front.
What does it cost?
More than shingles up front — once. Our pricing is published — see the actual numbers, or build your roof for a live price on your house, no contact info needed.
Do you fix leaks, or only do full roofs?
Both. If a repair solves it, we'll tell you that instead of selling you a roof — it's your money.
