Architectural accents
Front porches, bay windows, dormer caps and entry overhangs. The highest-impact upgrade per dollar on a shingle home — and low-slope porches drain better under metal anyway.
Residential Metal
Standing seam, done with restraint
Whether it's a copper-look porch roof over the entry or a full standing seam covering the house, metal is the detail that makes a New England home look finished — and the last roof many of our clients ever buy.
- 24 gauge steel and .032 aluminum panels
- Concealed fastener clips, no exposed screws
- Kynar 500 finish, 30–35 year warranty
- Shoreline salt-air specification available
Applications
Accents, or the whole roof
Full standing seam roofs
Concealed clip panels across the entire home, rated to 150 mph for shoreline exposure, with a service life that outlasts three asphalt roofs.
Mixed-material design
Metal on the lower shed and porch roofs, architectural shingle on the main field — a classic New England pairing that controls cost.

Finish options
Swatches are approximate on screen. We bring physical panel samples to the estimate so you can see the finish against your siding and trim in daylight.
Ownership
What metal actually costs you
A standing seam roof runs roughly two to three times an architectural shingle roof up front. Over a fifty-year horizon it is usually the cheaper roof, because the shingle roof gets bought twice in that window.
It also sheds snow and ice rather than holding it, which matters on the north elevation of a Connecticut home with a history of ice dams — with snow guards above doorways and walkways so the release is controlled.
Many insurers discount for impact and wind-rated metal. We provide the product documentation you'll need to ask.
Lifetime durability
50+ year panel service life with no granule loss and no shingle blow-off.
Snow guards
Clamp-on retention above entries, walkways and driveways.
Quiet in rain
Installed over solid deck and underlayment, not open purlins like a barn.
Resale
A permanent roof on the listing sheet, with the warranty transferable.
