Each year, homeowners become more and more interested in searching for the term “metal roofing near me.”

This is largely because metal roofs are not only aesthetically beautiful, but they are low maintenance, energy efficient, and will last a lifetime.

Metal Roof Installation Methods

Your new metal roof will either be installed in a new construction home or through a retrofit.

If a roof is being retrofitted to your home your roofing professional will either use the recover/overlay method or simply remove the old roof and replace it with the new one.

Your local roofer may throw around some terms you may not be familiar with.

Below are some of the most commonly discussed core components of a metal roof installation to get familiar with:

Substrate- This refers to the material that will be used to create the surface of the roof to prepare it for the metal panes.

Underlayment- These are generally synthetic material that is laid under the roof to improve durability.

Metal Roof Panels- these are the metal panels that will compose your roof. Your builder will be able to walk you through all of the different available options for your home.
