If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Dowling home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Color options are virtually unlimited. Matte black, charcoal, forest green, copper penny, barn red, slate blue. We order custom colors with 40-year color warranties. Your home, your style. We bring color samples to the estimate so you can see them against your siding and trim.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Design & Material Selection
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Dowling home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Panel Ordering & Prep
Panels ordered in your selected color, gauge, and profile. Custom lengths cut to minimize waste and on-site seaming. Trim pieces, flashing components, and underlayment specified for your roof.
Professional Metal Crew
Installation by our dedicated metal crew, not a shingle crew with a metal job on the side. These installers do metal roofing every week. Seams are tight, transitions are clean, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Inspection & Warranty
We walk the property with you and point out the finished details. Manufacturer warranty and workmanship warranty provided in writing. Your metal roof is covered for decades.
