Overview
The premium roof, built to outlast the mortgage.
Standing seam runs long vertical panels that lock together at raised seams up the slope. The fasteners hide under those seams, so there are no exposed screws or rubber washers to dry out and leak. That is the secret to its 50-plus year life.
The clean, modern lines suit contemporary homes, farmhouses, and exposed hilltop and coastal roofs. It is the most we ask for and the most you get, and we install it to the seam.

Why homeowners choose it
Built to be the last roof you buy.
50+ year lifespan
With no exposed fasteners to wear out, standing seam routinely passes 50 years. For a home you plan to keep, it can be the last roof you ever pay for.
Best snow shedding
Smooth vertical panels let snow slide instead of building into ice dams. It is the strongest answer we have to the leaks CT winters cause.
Concealed fasteners
The clips and screws hide under the seams, out of the weather. Nothing to back out, dry out, or leak, which is why the roof lasts so long.

Not sure standing seam is the one?
Metal shingle gives you long metal life with a traditional look for less. Asphalt is the best-value starting point. See them side by side.
Standing seam questions, answered
How much does a standing seam roof cost in Connecticut?
Standing seam is the top of the metal range, custom-formed for your roof, so it is the largest upfront investment we offer. We measure and price it on-site at your free 3D inspection rather than online. Spread over a 50+ year life, it often costs less per year than two or three shingle roofs.
What is standing seam, exactly?
Long vertical metal panels that lock together at raised seams running up the slope. The fasteners are hidden under those seams, so there are no exposed screws or gaskets to wear out. That concealed-fastener design is the main reason standing seam lasts so long.
How long does a standing seam roof last in CT?
A well-installed standing seam roof lasts 50 years or more, two to three times asphalt shingle. With no exposed fasteners to fail, it is one of the most durable roofs you can put on a Connecticut home.
Does standing seam handle snow and ice?
It is the best roof we install for snow. The smooth vertical panels shed snow and cut the ice-dam buildup behind so many CT winter leaks. We detail the eaves with ice-and-water shield and can add snow guards where roofs shed over walkways.
Will a standing seam roof look wavy (oil canning)?
Slight waviness in the flat of a panel, called oil canning, is a known trait of flat metal. We reduce it with striations or a ribbed profile and careful handling, and we set honest expectations up front so there are no surprises.
Is standing seam covered by your warranty?
Yes. Every standing seam roof carries our in-house 20-year leak-proof workmanship warranty in writing, plus the manufacturer materials and finish warranties. All transfer to the next owner if you sell.
