Metal Roofing in Phoenix, AZ

Metal roofing's reputation in Arizona has improved dramatically with the widespread adoption of Kynar 500 PVDF-coated Galvalume panels. These products carry 40-year paint warranties, reflect significantly more solar radiation than asphalt shingles, and hold up to Arizona's thermal cycling without the cracking and delamination that plagued earlier generations of metal roofing. Many qualify for ENERGY STAR ratings.

The standing seam system — where panels interlock at concealed seams rather than exposing fasteners to weather — is the appropriate specification for residential and commercial applications in Arizona. Exposed-fastener corrugated systems develop leak points as fastener gaskets degrade in the heat. We install standing seam as standard for quality residential work and specify exposed-fastener systems only for agricultural and low-occupancy commercial applications where the economics clearly support it.

Metal roofing can often be installed over existing shingle systems using a batten and counter-batten method, eliminating tear-off costs and adding a thermal break layer. We assess each existing condition individually to determine whether overlay is appropriate or if tear-off would deliver better long-term performance. In either case, we provide a detailed written estimate with full material specifications.
