What to Expect During a Custom Metal Roof Installation

1. Initial Consultation and Roof Assessment

2. Design and Material Selection

Once the roof layout and measurements are finalized, a custom plan is drawn. This includes details like ridgelines, valleys, fastener points, and flashing locations. At this point, your roofing contractor will order the exact quantity and type of materials to minimize waste and maximize efficiency. Custom metal roofs often include features like standing seams or interlocking panels for added weather resistance.

3. Preparing the Existing Roof

Before installation begins, your old roofing system is either removed or prepped for an overlay, depending on its condition and local building codes. The decking is inspected for rot, moisture, or damage, and necessary repairs are made to ensure a stable base. An underlayment, usually synthetic or self-adhering, is then installed for added insulation and waterproofing.

4. Installing the Metal Panels

With the prep work complete, the custom-cut metal panels are installed starting from the eaves and working upward toward the ridge. Proper alignment is crucial to prevent leaks and ensure aesthetic appeal. Trim pieces, flashings, and ridge caps are added to reinforce protection at vulnerable joints. Specialized fasteners and sealants are used to prevent rust and weather penetration.

5. Final Inspection and Cleanup

Once the metal roof is fully installed, a thorough inspection ensures all seams are sealed, components are secure, and the roof is up to code. The crew cleans up all debris, including leftover materials and fasteners, leaving your property spotless. You’ll receive warranty information and maintenance tips to keep your new metal roof in top condition for decades to come.
