A Roof Built for the Long Haul
Metal roofing has come a long way from the barn roofs many people picture. Today’s systems come in sleek modern panels and in engineered designs that look like traditional shingles, wood shakes, or slate. They deliver exceptional lifespan, low maintenance, and strong performance in severe weather.
KRC Roofing & Siding installs metal roofing with the precision it requires: correct panel layout, secure fastening, proper underlayment, and carefully detailed flashing. The result is a roof that looks great and protects your home for decades.
Metal Roofing Options
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Long vertical panels with raised seams and hidden fasteners. It has a clean, modern look and offers the best weather resistance of any metal system.
Stone-Coated Steel
Steel panels coated with stone granules, shaped to look like shingles, shakes, or tile. You get the classic look with the strength of steel, plus excellent hail and wind resistance.
Metal Shingles and Slate-Look Panels
Interlocking metal pieces that replicate traditional roofing styles, ideal when you want metal’s durability without a “metal roof” look.
Exposed-Fastener Metal Panels
A cost-effective, durable choice for garages, outbuildings, and agricultural structures.
Benefits of Metal Roofing
- Long lifespan: often 40 to 70 years.
- Sheds snow and ice quickly, reducing ice dam risk.
- High wind resistance when properly fastened.
- Hail resistance, especially stone-coated and Class 4–rated systems.
- Energy efficiency, with reflective finishes that help reduce cooling costs.
- Low maintenance: no rot, curling, or granule loss.
- Recyclable and environmentally friendly.
- Many colors and styles.
Precision Installation Matters
Metal roofing is only as good as its installation. We install high-temperature underlayment, careful flashing at valleys, chimneys, and walls, fastening to manufacturer specifications, and ventilation that helps prevent condensation under the panels.
Metal Roofing FAQs
How much does a metal roof cost compared to shingles?
Metal costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but its much longer lifespan and low maintenance often make it the better long-term value. We provide a free, itemized estimate.
Are metal roofs noisy in the rain?
Not when they’re installed over solid decking and underlayment, as they are on most homes. They’re typically no louder than other roofs.
Will hail dent a metal roof?
Large hail can leave cosmetic dents on some metal panels, but the roof will keep doing its job. Stone-coated steel and impact-rated systems are highly resistant to hail damage.
What is engineered metal roofing?
Engineered metal roofing refers to steel panels formed and finished, often with a stone coating, to look like shingles, shakes, slate, or tile. You get a traditional look with the durability of metal.
