Standing seam metal roof panels with concealed fasteners, new drip edge, and ridge cap on a Rockaway NJ home

A standing seam metal roof is a panel system, not a shingle job. We run long metal panels vertically from eave to ridge, then crimp the seams and hide every fastener under a folded rib.

Nothing is face-nailed, so no exposed screws back out after a freeze-thaw cycle. The panels sit on synthetic underlayment and, along every eave and valley, a self-adhered ice-and-water shield.

That layer matters in Rockaway. The town gets roughly 49 inches of precipitation a year, and ice dams build fast when snow melts along the eave and refreezes overnight.

On a mid-century ranch or a 1950s-1970s Colonial revival, we often strip old three-tab shingles with a roofing shovel first, then check the roof deck for rot.

Cost depends on roof pitch, square footage, panel gauge, and how many penetrations we flash, whether that is a chimney, a skylight, or a pipe boot.

Homeowners usually start asking about price after a spring hailstorm bruises an asphalt shingle roof or winter wind tears a ridge cap loose.

What's Included

Full tear-off of the old asphalt shingle, cedar shake, or built-up roof down to the roof deck, so we can inspect plywood and OSB sheathing for rot.

Synthetic underlayment plus a self-adhered ice-and-water shield along the eave, valley, and any low-slope transition.

Standing-seam panels formed to your roof's exact length, so one panel runs eave to ridge with no horizontal lap.

Concealed clips and fasteners that let the metal panel move with temperature swings instead of backing out of the deck.

New drip edge at the eave and rake, with step flashing and counter-flashing at sidewalls and the chimney.

Ridge cap, ridge vent, and pipe boot flashing sized to the new panel profile so the roofline stays sealed.

Magnetic sweep of the lawn, driveway, and gutter line for nails, screws, and metal shavings before the dumpster leaves.

Final roof inspection with photos and a written summary of what we installed and why.

Our Standing Seam Metal Roof Process

What Our Standing Seam Metal Roof Process Includes

We start with a roof inspection, checking the deck for rot, measuring the pitch, and noting every penetration, dormer, and skylight that needs flashing.
We give you a line-item estimate covering tear-off, underlayment, panels, trim, labor, and the dumpster, so you see what each part costs.
On install day we set the dumpster, run ladders and scaffold, and each crew member ties off to an anchor with a safety harness.
We tear off the old roof down to the sheathing, replace any rotted plywood or OSB, and confirm the roof ventilation meets building code.
We lay synthetic underlayment, then ice-and-water shield at every eave, valley, and low-slope section before any panel goes on.
We set drip edge, run the standing-seam panels ridge to eave, crimp the seams, and fasten with concealed clips.
We flash the chimney, sidewalls, pipe boots, and skylight, then cap the ridge with a ridge vent and new ridge cap.
We walk the property with a magnet for nails and screws, do a final inspection with photos, and review the work with you.

Signs You Need Standing Seam Metal Roof

Signs You Need a Standing Seam Metal Roof in Rockaway

Asphalt shingles show granule loss and bald patches after a spring hailstorm, and the mat is already brittle.
Ice dams form along the eave every winter, forcing meltwater to wick under the shingles and into the attic.
Existing panels show corrosion, chalking, or peeling paint where the old finish has oxidized.
Fasteners on an older metal roof have backed out, leaving open screw holes that seep in a hard rain.
The roof deck sags or settles between rafters, a sign the sheathing has taken on moisture and started to rot.
You keep resealing the same valley or chimney flashing every year instead of fixing the source.
The roof is at end-of-life wear, and you are paying for repair after repair on a system you plan to replace.
Hail has dented the ridge cap, vent boot, or gutter, and your adjuster wants a closer look at the damage.

Standing Seam Metal Roof — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a standing seam metal roof cost in Rockaway?

A standing seam metal roof costs more up front than asphalt shingles, but it lasts far longer. Your price depends on roof pitch, square footage, panel gauge, and how much flashing the roof needs. We hand you a line-item estimate so you can compare materials directly.

How long does a metal roof installation take?

Most residential standing seam jobs take several days to a couple of weeks, depending on size and weather. A simple gable roof moves faster. A roof with a dormer, skylight, or steep pitch takes longer because we hand-flash every penetration.

Will snow slide off a metal roof and damage my gutters?

Snow sheds quickly from a smooth metal panel, so we install snow guards above doorways, walkways, and gutter runs. They hold the snow in place so it melts instead of releasing in one slide. We size them to your roof pitch and panel profile.

Does insurance cover hail damage to my roof?

Hail damage is often covered, and we provide insurance claim assistance. We document the bruises, dents, and granule loss, meet your adjuster on the roof, and submit a line-item scope. Coverage depends on your policy and your deductible.

Can you install metal over my existing shingles?

Sometimes we can recover or overlay an existing roof, but not always. We inspect the deck first. If the sheathing is soft or the roof has multiple layers, we tear off to the deck so the new panels sit on a flat, sound substrate.

How long does a standing seam metal roof last?

With proper underlayment and flashing, a standing seam metal roof can outlast several asphalt roofs. The panels resist hail, wind uplift, and freeze-thaw movement. The weak points are the details, so we focus on sealant, flashing, and fasteners.

Don't just take our word for it — hear from our satisfied customers.

"We had ice dams along the eave of our White Meadow Lake Colonial every February. The new standing seam panels shed snow clean, and the ice-and-water shield at the valley gave us a quiet winter for the first time." Dana R.

"Our old metal roof had screws backing out across the whole field. Rockaway Roofing Pros ran standing seam panels with concealed clips instead, and they flashed the chimney properly." Michael T., Green Pond

"Hail took the granules off our three-tab shingles in one storm. They walked the roof, checked the deck for rot, and handed us a written estimate the same week." Priya S., Lake Telemark
