Standing Seam vs. Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing: Which Is Right for Your Home?

FAQ

Can a standing seam roof be installed over existing shingles?
In many cases yes, with the right underlayment and furring, and subject to local code and the condition of the deck. An inspection tells us whether a tear-off is needed.
Do exposed fastener roofs always leak eventually?
No. A well installed panel with quality washers can perform for decades. The washers do age, so periodic inspection is part of owning that type of roof.
Which system is better for snow?
Both shed snow well. Standing seam has fewer surface interruptions, which helps snow slide cleanly, and snow guards can be added to either system where you need snow to stay put.
