Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Standing Seam Metal Roof Specialists
Standing seam metal roofing is made from interlocking panels. This interlocking system makes it the strongest, most reliable roofing system on the market today. It is completely waterproof and comes in a variety of colors so you can customize it however you want.
Like other metal roofing services Rojas Roofing offers, standing seam helps regulate the temperature in your home because it reflects the sun and can save you money on your heating and cooling bills. You may also enjoy better insurance rates because of the reliability of your new roof.
Rojas Roofing offers metal roofing systems from copper, corrugated, steel, aluminum to R-Panel metal roof.
What is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing is exactly what it sounds like. Because of the interlocking panels, the seams stand up higher than the roof itself. It’s an interesting aesthetic feature that makes standing seam metal roofs more visually appealing than some other types of metal roofs.
Design-like customizations would interfere with the stability of the seams, but this type of roofing is still highly customizable allowing you to choose from a wide range of colors, lengths, widths, thicknesses, and seam types.

Advantages of Standing Seam Metal Roofing
The interlocking panels of a standing seam metal roof ensure that no fasteners are exposed to the elements where they can deteriorate over time. All metal roofing systems are durable, but the fasteners sometimes must be replaced when they wear out. With a standing seam metal roof, this doesn’t happen because there are no exposed fasteners.
A standing seam metal roof is also unique and different from other metal roofing systems in that the panels aren’t pinned down, so they can expand and contract with the weather, allowing for more freedom of movement and less breakage.
As with all metal roofing systems, standing seam metal roofing is also durable, customizable, long- lasting, eco-friendly, and energy efficient. These are all the things we’ve come to love about the increased installation of metal roofing systems.
Standing Seam Metal Roof Maintenance
Other metal roofing systems require the use of fasteners, which means that while they require little maintenance, you still have to check for loose or damaged fasteners and replace them. However, a standing seam metal roof doesn’t have fasteners that go through the metal, so you don’t need to perform this type of maintenance.
Upkeep is always essential, but a standing seam metal roof requires much less of it. Inspecting for low hanging branches, other metal, or debris and clearing it off is all you should have to do.
Standing Seam Metal Roof Cost
Unfortunately, standing seam metal roofing comes at a cost. It’s one of the most expensive types of metal roofing because of the prefabrication process. It requires specific rolling techniques to create the edges, and few contractors have expertise in standing seam metal roof installation.
The installation process is labor intensive, which also adds to the cost. However, when contracting with a reliable standing seam metal roofing company, you’ll reap the benefits of professional installation with a great warranty and a long-lasting, durable roof.
