- Standing seam systems hide fasteners and allow panels to move with temperature.
- Exposed fastener panels are common on industrial buildings and cost less.
- Most metal roof leaks start at fasteners, seams, flashing and penetrations, not the panels.
- Older metal roofs can often be restored with coatings instead of replaced.
- Material, gauge and finish choices affect lifespan and cost.
What we do on metal roofs
New metal roofs
Standing seam and panel systems for new buildings and replacements.
Leak repair
Replacing failed fasteners and washers, sealing seams and laps, and rebuilding flashing.
Restoration coatings
Cleaning, rust treatment, fastener replacement and a coating system to extend a sound metal roof’s life. See commercial roof coating.
Retrofit
In some cases, new roofing can be installed over existing metal roofs with a retrofit system.
When metal makes sense
Metal suits buildings that need long service life, have enough slope for the panel system, and benefit from a durable, low-maintenance surface. For flat roofs with minimal slope, a single-ply system like TPO or PVC is usually a better fit. We’ll recommend based on the building. See all roofing systems, or start with an inspection.
Los Angeles Commercial Roofing Pros work on standing seam and panel roofs across Los Angeles County. As commercial roofing contractors in Los Angeles, we install and maintain metal alongside every other system, so the recommendation follows the building.
Frequently asked questions
Can an old metal roof be restored instead of replaced?
Often, if the panels are structurally sound. Restoration typically includes cleaning, rust treatment, fastener replacement and a coating system.
Why do metal roofs leak?
Usually at fasteners whose washers have aged, at seams and laps, or at flashing and penetrations, rather than through the panels.
Is standing seam better than exposed fastener?
Standing seam hides fasteners and needs less maintenance, but costs more. Exposed fastener panels are common and economical on industrial buildings.
Can metal roofing go on a flat roof?
Only systems rated for low slopes. Very flat roofs are usually better served by single-ply membranes.
