Metal Roofing in Columbus County, NC

Exposed-fastener metal roofs run about $13,500 to $21,000 for a typical home. Standing seam metal roofs run $30,000 to $51,000. That's more than shingles, but metal lasts longer and stands up to limb strikes better, which is a big plus with all the pine and oak around here.

Yes, metal panels are much more resistant to impact from branches. A heavy limb can crack shingles and cause leaks, but metal is less likely to dent or tear. That means fewer repairs over the life of the roof, especially in areas with lots of trees.

Metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years, compared to 20 to 30 for shingles. That's a big advantage if you plan to stay in your home for a long time. They also handle the hot, humid summers in Columbus County well.

Yes, we do. We inspect the decking first to make sure it's sound, and we can work with any roof shape or pitch. If the decking has rot from flooding or old leaks, we'll replace it before installing the metal.

Exposed-fastener panels have screws with rubber washers that are visible on the surface. Standing seam panels have hidden fasteners, and that means no screws show, which looks cleaner and seals better. Standing seam is more expensive, but it's more durable and less prone to leaks over time.

Sometimes yes, but we usually recommend removing the old shingles first. That way we can inspect the decking and fix any rot before laying the new roof. It also gives a flatter surface for the metal, which helps with the seal and looks better.
