Commercial Metal Roofing Services

Our metal roofing services cover the full life of a commercial metal roof, from new installation to repair and replacement. Every project starts with a free roof inspection so we can identify the right metal roofing product and system for your roof.

Metal Roof Installation

Commercial metal roof installation with standing seam, concealed-fastener and exposed-fastener panel systems. We match the panel system, gauge and finish to your building’s slope, exposure and design.

Metal Roof Replacement

With over 15 years of metal roofing expertise, we have extensive experience with metal roof installations. In some cases, we can install a metal roof over the existing roof or we can completely remove the existing roof and install the new material. This all depends on your local building code requirements and the condition of your existing roof.

Commercial Metal Roof Repair

Commercial metal roof repair for leaks, loose or backed-out fasteners, failed seams and sealants, damaged flashing, rust and hail damage. Repairing these vulnerable areas early stops water intrusion before it reaches the deck and insulation.

Metal Roof Coating

Metal roof coatings seal fasteners and seams, slow the spread of rust, and add a reflective, waterproof layer that extends the life of an aging metal roof. This is an excellent option for an older metal roof that’s leaking from exposed fasteners.

Types of Metal Roofing for Commercial Buildings

There are three main types of metal roofing for commercial buildings, defined by how the metal roof panels attach to the structure. The right type depends on your roof’s slope, budget, appearance goals and how long you plan to own the building.

01

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Standing seam metal roofs use long panels joined by raised vertical seams, with fasteners hidden beneath the seams and clips that let panels expand and contract. With no exposed fasteners to loosen or leak, standing seam is the premium, lowest-maintenance metal roof system, and a common choice for mountain, municipal and hospitality properties.
02

Concealed-Fastener Metal Panels

Concealed-fastener metal roofing panels hide the screws beneath the panel overlap, giving a clean look similar to standing seam at a more moderate cost. They suit commercial and multifamily buildings where appearance matters and slopes are steeper.

03

Exposed-Fastener Metal Panels

Exposed-fastener metal roof panels, such as R-panel and corrugated profiles, are screwed through the panel face. They’re the most economical metal roofing type and common on warehouses, industrial and agricultural buildings. However, the fastener washers need periodic inspection and replacement over the life of the roof due to degradation from the weather and Colorado’s UV rays.

Benefits of Commercial Metal Roofing

There are three main types of metal roofing for commercial buildings, defined by how the metal roof panel attach to the structure. The right type depends on your roof’s slope, budget, appearance goals and how long you plan to own the building.

Long Service Life

A properly installed commercial metal roof typically lasts far longer than asphalt shingle or many flat membrane roofs, so you replace it less often over the life of the building. Most quality manufacturer warranties are 20 years or longer.

Low Maintenance

Metal roofs resist rot, cracking and pests. Standing seam systems need very little maintenance, and exposed-fastener systems mainly need periodic fastener checks.

Energy Efficiency

Reflective metal roof finishes bounce sunlight away from the building, lowering roof temperatures and reducing summer cooling demand.

Sustainability

Metal roofing often contains recycled content and is recyclable at the end of its life, keeping roofing waste out of landfills.

Types of Metal Roofing for
Commercial Buildings

Colorado’s weather is hard on roofs, and metal roofing handles it better than most systems.

Hail: Metal panels resist cracking and punctures; impact-rated panels are available for hail-prone areas. Hail can still dent metal, so panel gauge and profile matter.

Snow: Smooth metal panels shed snow, and standing seam roofs are engineered for heavy mountain snow loads. Snow guards control slides over entrances and walkways.

Freeze-thaw: Clip-mounted standing seam panels expand and contract with temperature swings without stressing the fasteners.

High-altitude UV: Metal roof finishes resist the UV that breaks down asphalt shingles and some membranes faster at Colorado’s altitude.

Commercial Metal Roofing FAQs

The three main types of metal roofing for commercial buildings are standing seam, concealed-fastener panels and exposed-fastener panels. Standing seam hides its fasteners under raised seams and needs the least maintenance; exposed-fastener panels are the most economical.

Yes, for many properties. Metal roofing sheds snow, resists hail cracking and high-altitude UV, and handles freeze-thaw cycles well, which is why it’s common on mountain, municipal and hospitality buildings.

Cost depends on the roof’s size and slope, the metal roofing type and panel gauge, the finish, and whether the old roof must be removed. Metal typically costs more upfront than shingle or membrane roofs but lasts longer. A free inspection gives you an accurate written price.

Often, yes. Commercial metal roof repair can fix leaks from loose fasteners, failed seams, flashing and localized hail damage. If rust or damage is widespread, replacement may be the better value.

Large hail can dent metal panels, but metal rarely cracks or punctures the way shingles and some membranes do. Impact-rated panels and heavier gauges improve hail resistance.

Look for commercial metal roofing contractors with experience on buildings like yours, manufacturer-backed warranties, a clear written proposal, and the ability to recommend other roof systems when metal isn’t the best fit.
