New Construction and Roof Replacement
For new buildings, we collaborate early to integrate metal roofing into the design and structural plans. This proactive approach ensures optimal installation and performance from day one.
When replacing old roofs, we conduct thorough inspections to address subroof issues before installing metal panels. Our team manages all phases of the project, including removal, preparation, and clean-up, to deliver a seamless upgrade.
Our Installation Process
We handle every metal roof installation with careful planning and skilled execution. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, each step is designed to ensure accuracy, durability, and customer satisfaction.
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by assessing your roofing needs and discussing your preferences. During this consultation, we evaluate the existing roof structure and identify any potential challenges. Our team provides a detailed estimate that includes material costs, labor, and project timelines. We make sure all questions are answered to clarify expectations and avoid surprises later. This step helps us tailor the installation plan to your specific home and budget, establishing a clear foundation for the project.
2. Precise Roof Measurement
Accurate measurements are crucial for a successful metal roof installation. We use specialized tools to measure the roof’s dimensions precisely, accounting for slopes, angles, and any architectural features. Measuring precisely ensures proper panel sizing, reducing waste and minimizing installation errors. These measurements also influence material orders and preparation.
By getting this step right, we save time during installation and guarantee a snug, leak-resistant fit.
3. Professional Installation
Our installation team follows a strict sequence to install the metal roof securely and efficiently. First, we prepare the roof deck by inspecting and repairing any damage, then install a waterproof underlayment. Next, we position and fasten metal panels using corrosion-resistant screws and clips. We carefully seal all joints and edges to prevent leaks. Throughout the process, we adhere to safety standards and manufacturer guidelines. This structured approach ensures the metal roof performs well for years.
4. Final Inspection
Upon completing installation, we conduct a thorough inspection to verify all panels are correctly secured and sealed. We check for alignment, fastener tightness, and overall roof integrity. After inspection, our crew cleans the job site, removing debris, leftover materials, and tools. We want your property to be as tidy as when we arrived. We also review the finished roof with you to explain maintenance tips and address any questions you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions on Metal Roof Installation
Metal roofing comes in several materials, each with its own benefits, costs, and lifespan. Understanding these options helps us recommend the best fit for your home and budget.
How much does metal roof installation cost?
Metal roof installation typically costs between $8-16 per square foot, depending on the material type and roof complexity. Standing seam systems are more expensive than exposed fastener panels, while premium materials like copper or zinc cost significantly more than steel or aluminum. Most residential projects range from $12,000-30,000, with factors like roof pitch, accessibility, and removal of existing materials affecting the total investment.
What type of metal roofing is best for my home?
Steel roofing is generally the best choice for most homes due to its durability, affordability, and wide range of color options. Galvalume steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and typically lasts 40-50 years. Aluminum works well in coastal areas or homes with specific weight requirements, while standing seam systems provide superior weather protection compared to exposed fastener panels. Your roof pitch, architectural style, and budget will help determine the ideal metal roofing system.
How long does metal roof installation take?
Most residential metal roof installations take 2-5 days depending on the home size and roof complexity. A typical 1,500-2,000 square foot home can usually be completed in 2-3 days with favorable weather conditions. Larger homes or those with multiple roof lines, chimneys, or skylights may require 4-5 days. Weather delays are possible, and removing existing roofing materials can add 1-2 additional days to the timeline.
Do I need special permits for metal roof installation in Kenosha?
Yes, you typically need a building permit for metal roof installation in Kenosha, especially when replacing an existing roof or making structural changes. Most residential reroofing projects require permits to ensure compliance with local building codes and safety standards. Your roofing contractor should handle the permit application process, which usually takes 1-2 weeks for approval and costs between $100-300 depending on the project scope.
Can metal roofing be installed over existing shingles?
Metal roofing can often be installed over existing asphalt shingles if the roof deck is structurally sound and local building codes permit it. This approach saves on tear-off costs and disposal fees while providing additional insulation. However, the existing shingles must be flat and in reasonable condition, and you're limited to one layer of existing roofing. Some metal roofing systems require direct deck attachment, making shingle removal necessary for optimal performance and warranty compliance.
