Metal roofing has moved well past the corrugated barn look. Today's standing seam panels come in 40+ colors with Kynar PVDF finishes that hold their color for decades. Our Essex metal crew installs standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle profiles for homes and businesses.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Design & Material Selection
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Essex home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Material Preparation
Metal roof panels are custom-ordered to the exact lengths needed for your roof. Trim, flashing, and ridge cap pieces specified and fabricated for your specific roof geometry. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
Expert Installation
Our metal roofing crew installs panels from eave to ridge, securing with concealed clips that allow thermal movement. Every seam interlocked by hand. Flashing details custom-bent on-site for penetrations and transitions.
Final Walkthrough
Final inspection, cleanup, and warranty registration. Your metal roof is the last roof your Essex home will ever need. We stand behind it with both manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
