How It Works
Metal roofing. Built to last decades.
Structural Assessment
We inspect your roof structure to confirm it can support the metal system you choose. We check decking, framing, and ventilation rules specific to metal roofing in Central Valley heat.
Panel Selection & Design
Choose from standing seam, corrugated, or stone-coated metal tiles. We help you select the profile, gauge, finish, and color that matches your home style and performance rules.
Precision Installation
Metal roofing demands exact measurements and proper fastening. Heat expansion, panel alignment, and flashing details must be perfect. Our crews are trained in metal-specific install methods.
Final Inspection & Warranty
We inspect every panel, fastener, and flashing point. Your maker warranty is registered on site. Most metal roofing systems carry 40 to 60-year warranties with proper install.
Metal Roofing Types
Profiles built for performance.
Metal roofing comes in several profiles, each with distinct advantages. Here are the options we install most across Central Valley.
Standing Seam
Concealed fastener system with raised seams that lock panels together. The cleanest look, the best weather performance, and zero exposed fasteners to corrode. Ideal for new homes and commercial buildings. Also the best choice for solar panel clamp mounting.
Corrugated Metal
Exposed fastener system with a classic ribbed profile. Cost-good and proven on agricultural, commercial, and residential buildings. Available in galvanized steel and painted finishes.
Stone-Coated Metal Tiles
The appearance of tile or shake with the performance of metal. Stone-coated steel panels offer Class A fire rating, hail resistance, and 50+ year warranties in a lightweight package.
Energy Efficiency & Fire Rating
All metal roofing systems carry Class A fire resistance, the highest rating available. Reflective metal finishes reduce cooling costs significantly in Central Valley summers. Metal roofs meet and go over California Title 24 cool-roof standards.

Why Econo Roofing
Metal roofing requires metal expertise.
Thermal Expansion Knowledge
Metal expands and contracts with heat swings. In Central Valley, where summer days hit 110 degrees and winter nights drop to freezing, proper allowance for heat movement is key. Improper install causes oil-canning, popped fasteners, and leaks.
40 to 60+ Year Lifespan
A properly installed metal roof is likely the last roof your home will ever need. The higher upfront cost pays for itself many times over compared to replacing asphalt shingles every 20 years.
Insurance Discounts
Many insurance companies offer premium discounts for metal roofs due to their superior fire and hail resistance. Ask your carrier about savings after install.
When to Call
Signs metal roofing is right for you.
Metal is not for every home, but for the right situation it is the best long-term investment in roofing.
You plan to stay long-term
Metal's higher upfront cost pays off over 15+ years of ownership with zero replacement cycles.
Fire risk is a concern
Metal roofs are non-combustible and carry the highest fire rating. Key in wildfire-prone foothill areas.
Energy costs are high
Reflective metal finishes reduce roof surface heat by up to 40%, lowering AC demand.
You want solar compatibility
Standing seam metal allows clamp-on solar mounting with no roof penetrations.

Frequently asked
About metal roofing.
How long does a metal roof last?
Standing-seam metal roofs usually last 50–70 years with proper install. The metal itself outlasts most homeowners — failures usually trace back to flashing or fastener issues, not the panels.
What does a metal roof cost in the Central Valley?
Standing-seam metal installed runs $11–$18 per square foot. A typical 2,000 sq ft home runs $26,000–$42,000 depending on panel profile, color, and underlayment spec.
Is metal roofing noisy in rain?
New installs include a fiberglass batt under-deck plus underlayment that absorbs sound. Inside the home, metal is no louder than asphalt or tile — the "tin roof in rain" sound is from old direct-to-rafter installs.
Will metal attract lightning?
No more than any other material. Lightning strikes the tallest object regardless of conductivity. Metal is actually safer than asphalt — it's non-combustible and disperses energy without igniting.
What metal types do you install?
Standing-seam steel (24-gauge most common), aluminum (corrosion-resistant for coastal homes), and zinc-aluminum coated panels (PAC-CLAD, McElroy). We do not install screw-down corrugated panels on residential — the exposed fasteners fail in 15–20 years.
Will metal interfere with solar?
No. Metal roofs are actually preferred substrates for solar — standing-seam clamps mount without penetrations, removing the #1 source of solar leaks.
