Metal Roofing in Duluth

Metal is a great roof for the right homeowner, and a poor fit for others. Our job is to help you figure out which you are. It costs more upfront than architectural shingles. In exchange it lasts longer, sheds rain and wind well and needs very little attention. If you plan to stay in your Duluth home for many years, that trade often works out. If you might sell in a few, shingles may serve you better. Two styles. In standing seam, ribbed panels interlock and concealed clips do the holding, with no screws through the face, so the metal can move with temperature swings and there are fewer places for water to get in. Cleaner look, longer life, higher price. The budget style takes screws straight through the panel, each with a rubber washer. Lower cost, but the washers wear and the screws need attention over the years. Whichever you choose, the details decide the result. Under the panels goes a high-temperature underlayment. At the eaves, rakes, ridge and walls goes trim formed for that exact profile, because careless trim is where metal roofs leak. We also make sure ventilation is right. And we will tell you plainly how each option would look on your house.
