About Metal Roofing

A Roofing Investment Built to Outlast the Competition

Once reserved mainly for barns and warehouses, metal roofing has become one of the most in-demand choices for homes and commercial buildings alike. The reason is simple: few roofing materials can match its combination of durability, structural integrity, energy savings, and low upkeep once it's properly installed.

When Stormproof Roofing installs a standing seam metal system on your property in Affton, MO, you can expect it to hold up for 40 to 60 years — frequently spanning the life of two or more asphalt shingle roofs. Upkeep during that time is minimal, generally limited to periodic checks of fasteners and sealant around penetrations. There's no granule loss, no curling or cracked tabs, and no organic surface for algae or mold to take hold.

Beyond durability, metal roofing offers real energy savings. Because panels reflect sunlight rather than soaking it in, cooling costs drop noticeably in hotter regions. Many metal roofing products are also eligible for energy efficiency incentives, and the extended service life means far less roofing material sent to landfills compared to repeated shingle tear-offs.

Why Property Owners Choose Metal

System Types

Metal Roofing Options We Offer

Every metal roofing system offers its own advantages depending on your building and goals. Our team walks you through each option to find the right match for your property and budget.

📍

Standing Seam

Standing seam remains the top-tier choice for residential metal roofing. Its vertical panels lock together at raised seams, hiding all fasteners beneath the surface and forming a seamless, weathertight barrier with no exposed penetration points — removing one of the most common causes of roof failure.

Hidden fasteners keep moisture and corrosion out
Panels expand and contract without stressing fasteners
Offered in steel, aluminum, and Galvalume options
Works on roof pitches as shallow as 1:12 in many profiles

🏘

Corrugated and R-Panel

Exposed-fastener panel systems like corrugated and R-panel deliver strong value across a wide range of uses. They're a common choice for barns, workshops, commercial buildings, and detached structures. When installed correctly with washered fasteners and quality underlayment, these systems perform reliably for many years.

More budget-friendly than standing seam options
Quick installation across large roof areas
Broad selection of colors and panel sizes
Fits most roof slopes and configurations

⚡

Metal Shingle Systems

Metal shingle panels bring together classic roofing looks — shake, slate, or traditional shingle styles — with the strength and longevity of metal construction. These interlocking panels install in a pattern that mirrors conventional roofing while delivering far greater wind and impact resistance.

Mimics the appearance of shake, slate, or tile roofing
Strong resistance to hail impact damage
Weighs less than concrete tile or natural slate
Fits nearly every residential roof pitch

Key Advantages

How Metal Roofing Compares to Asphalt Shingles

Placed side by side with conventional asphalt shingles, metal roofing pulls ahead in nearly every measure that matters.

🕑

Built to Last Decades

A metal roof will typically serve 40 to 60 years without needing replacement. Over that same span, an asphalt roof usually needs to be replaced twice, which makes metal the smarter long-term investment even with a higher upfront cost.

🌟

Lower Energy Bills

Modern metal roofing comes with factory-applied reflective coatings that bounce back much of the sun's heat instead of absorbing it, easing attic temperatures and reducing air conditioning demand during the summer months.

💦

Better Water and Snow Shedding

The interlocked, smooth surface of a metal roof clears water and snow far more efficiently than the textured surface of asphalt shingles. Paired with proper attic insulation and ventilation, metal roofing also reduces ice damming risk.

🔥

Top-Tier Fire Protection

Metal roofing carries a Class A fire rating, the highest classification a roofing material can achieve, giving your property strong protection against embers and external fire exposure during nearby wildfire conditions.

🌎

A Smarter Environmental Choice

Metal roofing materials typically include 25 to 95 percent recycled content and can be fully recycled once their service life ends. Selecting metal avoids the repeated landfill waste generated by multiple asphalt shingle tear-offs over time.

💰

Added Value and Savings

Because of its fire and wind performance, a metal roof can help lower your homeowner's insurance premiums. It also boosts resale value, appealing to buyers who understand and appreciate its long-term benefits.

FAQ

Your Metal Roofing Questions, Answered

Clear answers to the questions Affton, MO property owners ask most before choosing a metal roofing system.

This is one of the most common myths about metal roofing, and whether it's true really comes down to the installation method. Metal panels attached directly to open framing, with no decking or underlayment beneath them, can indeed be loud in the rain — that's typically how people form their impression of metal roofing from barns or outbuildings. Residential systems, though, are installed over solid decking with synthetic underlayment in between, and most homes also have attic insulation just beneath that deck. With this setup, a metal roof sounds no different than a traditional shingle roof during normal rainfall. Hailstorms will be audibly louder on metal than on asphalt, but the roof itself holds up far better against hail damage.

No, this is a common misunderstanding. While metal does conduct electricity, it doesn't attract lightning strikes. Lightning seeks out the tallest or most exposed point in a given area, regardless of what material is there. If a structure with a metal roof happens to be struck, the metal actually disperses the electrical charge more safely than materials that could shatter or ignite from the impact. There is no evidence that a metal roof changes the likelihood of a lightning strike compared to any other roofing type — this is confirmed consistently by building science and engineering experts whenever the question comes up.

Often, no — a metal roof can frequently go directly over a single existing layer of asphalt shingles, as long as the roof deck is in good condition, the framing can safely bear the added weight, and it's allowed under Affton, MO's local building codes. Skipping the tear-off cuts down on labor and disposal expenses, helping lower your overall project cost. That said, this isn't the right approach for every roof. If there's water damage to the existing shingles, rot in the deck below, or code requirements calling for a bare deck with the metal product you've chosen, a complete tear-off is the better route. We evaluate all of these details during your consultation and give you a straightforward recommendation based on your roof's actual condition — not whichever option is easiest for us.
