Union County Metal Roofs | Metal Roofing Contractors: Installation, Replacement, Standing Seam & Leak Repair

Standing seam, metal shingle and repair crews serving Monroe, Indian Trail, Waxhaw and Weddington

Standing seam, metal shingle and exposed-fastener roofing in 24 and 26 gauge Galvalume with Kynar 500 PVDF finishes. Panels are roll-formed in the driveway from coil, so a 42 foot rafter gets a 42 foot panel with no end laps and nothing for water to find. Under it: synthetic underlayment, high-temp ice-and-water at the eaves and valleys, and Class 4 impact panels tested to 140 mph uplift. [COUNT: metal roofs installed in Union County in the last 12 months] roofs went on last year, the smallest a 600 square foot porch in Stallings and the largest a [JOB: largest job, town, square footage].

In our opinion a standing seam roof is like a cast-iron skillet: pricey the day you buy it, and the last one you ever buy. The crew handles new installs, shingle-to-metal replacement, retrofits over one layer of shingles, and leak repair on fastener back-out, pipe boots and seams. [OWNER: first name] has run metal crews in this county for [OWNER: years] years and still walks every roof before the quote goes out. Insured, permits pulled where the county asks for them, and the number comes back itemized within 48 hours of the drone flyover, from Monroe to Waxhaw and Indian Trail to Weddington.

Residential metal roofing installation

Standing seam metal roofing

Concealed-fastener panels in 24 and 26 gauge Galvalume with Kynar 500 PVDF finishes, formed on site in 1.5 and 2 inch seam heights so each panel runs ridge to eave in one piece. Mechanically seamed or snap-lock, floating clips for thermal movement, 40 to 70 year service life. On the last [JOB: count] standing seam roofs in Waxhaw and Weddington the pick was 24 gauge Charcoal Gray in a 16 inch striated pan almost every time. We think striations are worth it on any pan over 12 inches; flat pans oil-can in July sun no matter who installs them.

Metal roof installation

Full tear-off or retrofit, decking inspection and replacement of soft sheathing, synthetic underlayment, high-temp ice-and-water shield at eaves, valleys and penetrations, then panels, trim and ridge vent. Class 4 impact rating and 140 mph wind uplift on every system we install. Most two-story Indian Trail homes built after 2000 run 6:12 to 8:12 pitches with two or three valleys: figure two days on the roof once coil lands. A recent one: [JOB: town, square footage, profile, price range].

Metal roofing that looks like shingles

Stamped steel and aluminum shingles in slate, shake and tile profiles that read as architectural shingles from the street and carry a Class A fire rating. Four-way interlocking panels, concealed fasteners, half the weight of asphalt and a 50 year warranty. Architectural review boards in Marvin and Weddington have said yes to the slate and shake profiles more readily than to standing seam in our experience; bring the sample board to the meeting. [OWNER: confirm or replace with your own HOA story]

Corrugated and exposed-fastener metal roofing

R-panel, PBR and 7/8 inch corrugated in 26 and 29 gauge for barns, workshops, porches and budget-minded homes, fastened with EPDM-washered screws on 12 inch centers. The lowest cost per square of any metal system, with 30 year finish warranties on Galvalume colors. Half the barns between Monroe and Unionville wear 29 gauge R-panel that went on in the 1990s, and it is the screws that go first, never the panels. Budget a screw swap at year 15 and the roof keeps going.

Stone-coated steel roofing

DECRA and Unified Steel panels with a ceramic-bonded stone finish over 26 gauge steel, installed on battens or direct-to-deck. Class 4 hail, 120 mph wind warranty, no granule loss like asphalt, and profiles that match tile and shake on estate homes.

Metal roof replacement

Replacing a failed 3-tab or architectural shingle roof with metal: tear-off and disposal, decking inspection, permit and HOA approval paperwork, then a standing seam or metal shingle system. Most 2,000 square foot homes are torn off and dried in within two days.

Metal roof repair and leak repair

Fastener back-out and washer failure, pipe boot and flashing leaks, seam separation, rust spots and loose ridge caps. Repairs use butyl tape, oversized replacement screws, new EPDM boots and seam sealant rated for metal, with a leak-source report and photos.

Metal roof over existing shingles

Where code allows one existing layer, metal goes over the shingles on 1x4 purlins or a synthetic slip sheet, saving tear-off cost and landfill fees. Metal adds about 1.5 pounds per square foot, well inside the load rating of a framed roof, and the air gap under purlins adds insulation value.

Aluminum and copper roofing

Aluminum standing seam for lake and pool houses where rust is a concern, and 16 ounce copper in standing seam or flat-lock for bay windows, porches and accent roofs. Copper patinas to verdigris over 20 to 30 years and lasts a century; aluminum takes the same Kynar colors as steel.

Metal roof coating and painting

Acrylic elastomeric and silicone roof coatings over primer restore faded or chalking Galvalume and seal fastener heads, adding 10 to 15 years to a sound metal roof at a third of replacement cost. Reflective white and light coatings also cut attic temperatures in July.

Union County conditions we plan for

Afternoon storms from June through August mean we dry a roof in the same day it is opened, no exceptions. Hail comes through Monroe and Waxhaw most springs, which is why 24 gauge and Class 4 panels are the default here rather than an upgrade. Red clay dust settles on light colors on gravel-road lots outside Unionville and Mineral Springs; medium grays hide it. And nearly every subdivision built since 1995 has an HOA color board, so the approval package goes in with the quote.

Why we are the best metal roofing company in Union County

Materials and brands we use

Galvalume AZ50 and AZ55 coil in Sherwin-Williams and PPG Kynar 500 colors from [SUPPLIER: coil supplier, town], DECRA and Unified Steel stone-coated panels, S-5! clamps, GAF and Carlisle synthetic underlayments, and stainless or zinc-aluminum fasteners with EPDM washers. We stopped carrying 29 gauge for houses years ago; it is a barn product.

Timeline

Quote within 48 hours of inspection, coil delivery in 7 to 14 days, and two to four days on the roof for a typical home. Repairs are usually same week.

Cost and budget

Metal costs two to three times an asphalt roof up front and lasts three to four times as long, with lower cooling bills and insurance discounts for Class 4 panels in many Union County policies. Financing options are available through the installing contractor.

Why metal roofing pays off in Carolina summers

Union County sees 50 to 60 days above 90 degrees a year. A cool-roof Kynar color with a solar reflectance of 0.30 or better keeps the roof surface 50 to 60 degrees cooler than dark asphalt at 3 pm and cuts attic heat gain enough to trim summer cooling bills by 10 to 25 percent.

The same panels shrug off the spring hail that moves through Monroe and Waxhaw most years: Class 4 impact-rated metal takes a 2 inch steel ball drop without cracking, which is why many Carolina insurers discount premiums on Class 4 roofs. Ask us for the UL 2218 report for your panel before you buy.

Metal roofing FAQ

How long does a metal roof last compared with shingles?

Standing seam in Kynar lasts 40 to 70 years; architectural shingles in our climate last 18 to 25. Most metal roofs outlive the house's second shingle roof.

Is a metal roof louder in rain?

Not over a decked, insulated attic. Metal over solid decking and underlayment measures about the same as shingles indoors; open-purlin barns are the loud ones.

Can a metal roof go over my existing shingles?

Yes, over one layer where the decking is sound, on purlins or a slip sheet. Two existing layers must come off under code.

What does a standing seam roof cost per square foot?

$9 to $16 installed in Union County in 2026, depending on gauge, seam type, pitch and whether tear-off is included.

Does a metal roof lower insurance or energy bills?

Many Carolina insurers discount Class 4 impact-rated roofs, and cool-roof colors cut cooling costs 10 to 25 percent. Ask your agent for the Class 4 credit.

What gauge should a residential metal roof be?

24 gauge for mechanically seamed standing seam, 26 gauge for snap-lock and metal shingles, 29 gauge only on exposed-fastener barn and shed panels.

How long does installation take?

Two to four days on the roof for a typical home once coil arrives, which takes 7 to 14 days from order.

Metal roof vs shingles: what about resale?

Remodeling cost studies put metal roof resale recovery around 48 to 60 percent of cost, and buyers in Weddington and Waxhaw ask for it by name.

Will a metal roof rust?

Galvalume steel carries a 25 year perforation warranty and Kynar colors a 35 year finish warranty. Cut edges and scratches get touched up at install.

Do you offer financing?

The installing contractor offers financing on full roof replacements; ask when you request your quote.

Can you match my HOA's approved colors?

Yes. We carry HOA color boards for most Union County communities and submit the approval package with your quote.

Can solar panels go on a standing seam roof?

Yes, with S-5! seam clamps and no roof penetrations, which is one reason solar installers prefer standing seam.

Which towns do you serve?

Monroe, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, Weddington, Stallings, Wesley Chapel, Marvin, Unionville, Mineral Springs and Hemby Bridge, plus Matthews and Mint Hill on the Mecklenburg line.
