Metal Roof Replacement & Standing Seam Installation in Winston-Salem
The last roof you will ever buy. Built for NC weather. Drive through Lewisville, Advance, or the deeper neighborhoods like Buena Vista and Sherwood Forest, and you will notice a trend: more homeowners are trading asphalt shingles for metal. It's not just about the modern farmhouse look. It's about longevity. In the Triad, we deal with heavy pine needle accumulation, humidity, and intense summer sun. Metal reflects the heat and sheds the debris. We specialize in high-end Standing Seam Metal Roofing — custom-fabricated systems that protect your home for 50+ years.
What's Included
Standing Seam vs. Exposed Fastener Metal Roofs
Not all metal roofs are created equal, and understanding the difference is vital before you get a quote. Standing seam is the gold standard for residential homes in Lewisville and Bermuda Run. The screws are concealed underneath the metal ribs, meaning they are never exposed to rain or sun. The snap-lock system allows panels to expand and contract with NC's temperature swings without loosening, and the clean, sleek lines deliver superior curb appeal. Lifespan is 50 or more years. Exposed fastener panels — often called ribbed or agricultural panels — are the budget option. The panels are screwed directly through the metal into the wood, and every 10 to 15 years the rubber washers on the screws will dry rot and need replacing to prevent leaks. They are best suited for detached garages, sheds, or budget-conscious projects.
Why Hire Roofing Brothers for Metal?
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 and 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. We use high-quality 24-gauge steel, which is 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. We also offer a full range of Kynar 500 painted finishes, from Matte Black to Charcoal Gray, that resist fading even under the harsh Carolina sun.
Common 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 significantly better long-term value.
What is the difference between standing seam and exposed fastener?
Standing seam has hidden fasteners concealed underneath the metal ribs, so they are never exposed to rain or sun. The snap-lock system allows panels to expand and contract with temperature swings. Exposed fastener panels are screwed directly through the metal and require washer replacement every 10-15 years.
