Metal Roofing Installation
Metal roofing is worth a look once an existing shingle roof is reaching the end of its life and you want a longer-lasting, more storm- and hail-resistant option, or if you're simply tired of replacing an asphalt roof every couple of decades and want something that holds up better against Ohio's freeze-thaw winters and periodic hail and wind storms. It's a bigger upfront decision than a like-for-like shingle replacement, so it's worth understanding the real tradeoffs before committing.
Options
We install standing-seam metal panel systems as well as metal shingle and shake profiles, with exposed- or concealed-fastener options depending on the look and performance you're after. Standing-seam tends to offer the longest service life and best storm performance; metal shingle and shake profiles can more closely match the look of traditional roofing while still gaining metal's durability. We'll help you weigh the options against your budget and how long you plan to stay in the home.
Our Process
- We review material and profile options based on your home and budget.
- We tear off or prep the existing roof deck as needed.
- We install underlayment and the metal panel or shingle system.
- We install trim, flashing, and ventilation components to finish the job.
Timeline
Most residential metal roof installations take two to four days, depending on roof size and complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you licensed and insured?
Every roofer we connect your project to is required to carry the licensing and insurance their state and municipality require for residential roofing work. Ask for their specific license and insurance details directly when you book your job.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Troy, OH and Sidney, OH, along with the surrounding Miami Valley communities in between. See our Locations page for city-specific detail on each.
Do you help with homeowners insurance claims for storm damage?
Yes — we document storm damage with photos you can submit with your claim, and we can meet with your insurance adjuster on-site if you'd like us there. The insurance company makes the final coverage decision, but we make sure the damage is properly documented going in.
How long does a roof actually last?
It depends heavily on material and local climate. Standard asphalt shingle roofs generally last somewhere in the range of 15-30 years, often toward the shorter end in areas like Ohio with repeated winter freeze-thaw cycling, while metal roofing systems are commonly rated for 40-70+ years. Storm damage, poor attic ventilation, and skipped maintenance can shorten any roof's actual service life well below its rated lifespan.
Do you offer emergency storm damage response?
Yes. If your roof is actively leaking after a storm, we prioritize emergency tarping to stop further water intrusion, then follow up with documented repair or replacement once the full scope is assessed.
Do I need a permit for roofing work?
Usually, for a full replacement — most cities and townships across the Miami Valley require a building permit before a full roof replacement begins, while minor, non-structural repairs generally don't. The specific office and process differs from one city to the next, though, so check your city's own page for the exact contact and requirements, or just call us and we'll walk you through what your project needs.
Is metal roofing noisier than asphalt shingles during rain or hail?
Not once it's installed correctly. A properly installed metal roof includes solid decking and underlayment beneath the panels, which absorbs most of the sound — homeowners are often surprised how little difference they notice in normal rain compared to their old asphalt roof. Poorly installed or poorly insulated systems are where the "loud roof" reputation comes from.
Can metal roofing go over my existing shingle roof, or does the old roof have to come off?
In some cases, yes — installing over select existing substrates is one of the options we evaluate, and it can save on tear-off cost and time. Whether it's a good fit depends on the condition of your existing roof and how many layers are already there, which we'll check before recommending it.
Will a metal roof actually hold up better against Ohio's hail and wind storms than asphalt?
Generally, yes — standing-seam and metal shingle systems resist wind uplift and impact damage better than standard asphalt shingles, which is a big part of why homeowners consider metal roofing after a rough storm season. It's not indestructible, but it holds up notably better against the hail and wind Miami Valley sees most years.
How do I choose between standing-seam and metal shingle profiles?
It comes down to priorities: standing-seam typically offers the longest service life and best storm performance, while metal shingle and shake profiles can more closely match the traditional look of asphalt or wood roofing while still gaining metal's durability. We'll weigh both against your budget and how long you plan to stay in the home.
