If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Desmet home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Standing seam is the premium metal roofing system. Concealed fastener clips allow the panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without stressing the seams or the deck. No exposed screws, no exposed fastener holes, no maintenance. The seams interlock and the clips float. That's why standing seam doesn't leak.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Design & Material Selection
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Desmet home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Panel Ordering & Prep
Metal roof panels are custom-ordered to the exact lengths needed for your roof. Trim, flashing, and ridge cap pieces specified and fabricated for your specific roof geometry. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
Precision Installation
Standing seam panels installed with Z-clips on solid substrate or battens. Each panel locked into the adjacent panel with a mechanical seamer. No exposed fasteners, no maintenance points. Trim and flashing hand-formed for a custom fit.
Final Walkthrough
Final inspection, cleanup, and warranty registration. Your metal roof is the last roof your Desmet home will ever need. We stand behind it with both manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
