About Our Metal Roofing Services
Deschutes Roofing offers two types of metal roofing: exposed fastener (AKA barn style) and hidden fastener (AKA standing seam or vertical seam).
Perhaps the holy grail of all roofs, which does excellently under all weather conditions and can last for well over 50 years, is the metal roof.
Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing Panels
Exposed fastener metal roofing comes in 3-foot-wide sheets that overlap at the raised ends known as “ribs”. It’s more economical but requires more maintenance because the rubber grommets on each screw (fastener) eventually wear out and must be replaced. The metal is usually 29-gauge thick.
Hidden Fastener Metal Roofing Panels
Hidden fastener metal roofing is available in 12, 16, or 20-inch-wide sheets and is connected by mechanically seaming or crimping the end seams together. It’s more costly but is virtually maintenance-free and can last 40 – 70 years. This metal roofing is significantly thicker, available in 26-gauge or 24-gauge.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing Panels
Standing seam metal roofs require very little maintenance over the years and very often outlive the people who installed them. You will notice that many commercial buildings in large cities with pitched roofs utilize standing seam metal roofing due to its longevity, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance requirements.
Snap-Lock Metal Roofing Panels
There is also a “snap-lock” version of standing seam metal roofing, which does not require crimping and uses friction to snap the panels together. Below the seams, the panels are attached to the roof deck with screws, but these are not visible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What are the main benefits of installing a metal roof?
Metal roofs offer exceptional durability, energy efficiency, fire resistance, and longevity. They can last 40 to 70 years with minimal maintenance. The reflective properties of metal also help lower energy bills by reducing heat absorption.
2. What types of metal roofing materials are available?
Common materials include steel, aluminum, zinc, copper, and galvanized alloys. Each material offers unique benefits—steel is cost-effective and strong, aluminum resists corrosion, and copper provides a premium aesthetic with a natural patina over time.
3. Is a metal roof suitable for both residential and commercial buildings?
Yes. Metal roofing systems are ideal for homes, offices, warehouses, and industrial structures. They perform well in varied climates and provide superior protection against wind, rain, snow, and fire hazards.
4. How long does a metal roof last compared to traditional roofing materials?
While asphalt shingles typically last 20 to 25 years, metal roofs can last up to 70 years when properly maintained and well-maintained. Their long lifespan reduces replacement costs and environmental waste over time.
5. Are metal roofs energy-efficient?
Absolutely. Metal roofs reflect solar radiation, reducing heat buildup in summer. Many systems also qualify for energy tax credits and contribute to green building certifications, such as LEED.
6. How noisy is a metal roof during rain or hail?
When installed with proper insulation and underlayment, modern metal roofs are as quiet as any other roofing material. Professional installation ensures sound reduction and vibration control.
7. Do metal roofs require a lot of maintenance?
Metal roofs are low-maintenance. Routine inspections to check fasteners, sealants, and coatings help maintain the appearance and performance of the vehicle. Cleaning debris and ensuring proper drainage keep the system in optimal condition.
8. Can a metal roof be installed over existing shingles?
In many cases, yes. Installing over existing shingles can reduce labor and disposal costs. However, a certified contractor will first inspect the roof deck to ensure structural integrity and compliance with building codes.
9. Are metal roofs environmentally friendly?
Yes. Metal roofs are often made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable at the end of their lifespan. Their energy efficiency and durability make them a sustainable choice for roofing.
10. What factors affect the cost of metal roof installation?
The price depends on the roof size, slope, material type, panel style, and labor complexity. While upfront costs are higher than traditional shingles, the long-term savings in maintenance and energy efficiency make metal roofing a valuable investment.
