Home METAL ROOFING

Metal roofing,
engineered to lift.

Two metal systems, both installed in-house: concealed-fastener standing seam, and 5V crimp panel. Same crews, same coastal detailing, very different price points.

01 — Why Metal Here

The panel is
the easy part.

Metal roofs rarely fail in the middle of a panel. They fail at the edge, at the penetration, and at the fastener — which is why the parts of a metal roof worth paying for are the clip spacing, the edge metal, the flashing details, and the fastener metallurgy.

On the Gulf coast there are two forces working at once. Design wind pressure governs the attachment: clip spacing and gauge get engineered to the wind-zone calculation for the building, not assumed from a table. And salt-laden air governs the finish and the fasteners — the wrong fastener alloy against the wrong panel will corrode long before the panel itself is tired.

— 01 / Standing Seam

Standing
Seam.

Concealed-fastener panel: nothing penetrates the weather surface in the field. Panels are held by clips hidden inside the seam, which is both why standing seam performs so well under uplift and why it looks the way it does. The premium metal answer, and what we specify on most high-end residential and architectural commercial work.

— 02 / 5V Crimp

5V Crimp
Panel.

Exposed-fastener metal with five V-shaped crimps per panel — the old-Florida profile you see on cottages, barn-style homes, and a great deal of light-industrial and agricultural building. Fasteners pass through the panel into the deck, so the gasket and the fastener spec matter enormously. Detailed properly it is a genuinely long-lived roof at materially less than standing seam.

02 — Choosing Between Them

Which one
for your roof?

Standing seam if the roof is highly visible, the architecture is contemporary or high-end, or the exposure is severe enough that you want nothing penetrating the field. 5V crimp if you want a metal roof's service life at a lower cost, or the building's style genuinely calls for that profile — on an old-Florida cottage, 5V is the correct answer, not the cheap one.

Both are available on commercial and residential projects. If you're weighing metal against tile or architectural shingle, the FAQ works through those trade-offs.
