Metal Roofing & Standing Seam Installation
The Last Roof You Will Ever Buy. Built for NC Weather.
Why Winston-Salem & Clemmons Homeowners Are Switching to Metal. Drive through Lewisville or the deeper neighborhoods of Advance, and you will notice a trend: more homeowners are trading asphalt shingles for metal.
It’s not just about the modern “farmhouse” look (though that looks great). It’s about longevity. In the Triad, we deal with heavy pine needle accumulation, humidity, and intense summer sun. Asphalt shingles absorb that heat and trap moisture under debris. Metal reflects the heat and sheds the debris.
At Roofing Brothers Inc., we specialize in high-end Standing Seam Metal Roofing. We don’t just screw sheets of metal to your roof; we custom-fabricate a system that protects your home for 50+ years.
Standing Seam vs. Exposed Fastener Metal Roofs
Not all metal roofs are created equal. It is vital to understand the difference before you get a quote.
1. Standing Seam (The “Forever” Roof)
This is the gold standard for residential homes in Lewisville and Bermuda Run.
- Hidden Fasteners: The screws are concealed underneath the metal ribs, meaning they are never exposed to the rain or sun.
- Snap-Lock System: The panels can expand and contract with NC’s temperature swings without loosening.
- Aesthetics: Clean, sleek lines with no visible screws.
- Lifespan: 50+ years.
2. Exposed Fastener (The Budget Option)
Often called “Ribbed” or “Ag Panels,” you often see these on barns or carports.
- Visible Screws: The panels are screwed directly through the metal into the wood.
- Maintenance Required: Every 10-15 years, the rubber washers on the screws will dry rot and need replacing to prevent leaks.
- Best For: Detached garages, sheds, or budget-conscious projects.

Why Hire Roofing Brothers for Metal?
We Own Our Own Machinery. Most roofers order pre-cut metal panels from a factory. If the measurements are off by an inch, they have to wait weeks for a replacement (or try to force it to fit). We bring our Roll-Forming Machine directly to your driveway. We fabricate your standing seam panels on-site to the exact millimeter of your roofline. This ensures a watertight fit that factory panels can’t match.
No “Oil Canning.” We use high-quality 24-Gauge Steel (thicker than the standard 26-gauge or 29-gauge used by cheaper competitors). This prevents “oil canning”—that wavy, wrinkled look you sometimes see on cheap metal roofs.
Color Selection. We offer a full range of Kynar 500® painted finishes—from Matte Black to Charcoal Gray—that resist fading even under the harsh Carolina sun.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is a metal roof louder than shingles in the rain? No. When installed correctly over solid decking and insulation, a metal roof is no louder than a standard asphalt roof during a rainstorm.
- Does a metal roof cost more than shingles? Yes, typically 2 to 3 times more initially. However, a standing seam metal roof can last 50+ years compared to 20 years for shingles, offering better long-term value.
