About standing seam metal roofing
Is standing seam worth the extra cost?
It costs more than exposed-fastener metal because of the material and the labor, and many owners feel the look and the details are worth it. We explain the tradeoffs.
Can standing seam be installed on a low slope?
Many systems allow lower slopes than shingles, but each product has its own minimum. We check the instructions.
Can I walk on a standing seam roof?
It can be done carefully, but panels can dent or scratch, so we recommend that only trained people go up.
