Metal Roofing in Varnamtown, NC

Metal roofing lasts longer than asphalt in coastal environments, but only if it's installed with the right materials. Salt air attacks exposed fasteners, and that means we use coated or stainless steel fasteners that resist corrosion. Standing seam metal has hidden fasteners, which makes it even more resistant to salt damage. It costs more, but it also lasts longer and requires less maintenance.

Exposed-fastener metal runs roughly $13,500 to $21,000 for a typical home. Standing seam runs higher, usually $30,000 to $51,000. The exact price depends on roof size, pitch, and the gauge of the metal. We'll give you a detailed quote after we measure your roof.

Metal roofs are low-maintenance, but not no-maintenance. You should clear debris from valleys and gutters, and we recommend an annual inspection to check fasteners and seams. In coastal areas, we also check for any spots where salt might be building up. A quick rinse with fresh water can help, but we'll include that in our inspection tips.
