Metal Roof Installation by ARCM Roofing
Standing seam, corrugated, and stone-coated steel systems that protect your home for 50 years or more — backed by certified installers and manufacturer warranties.
5 Highlights on Metal Roof Installation
The Last Roof Most Homes Ever Need
Metal roof installation is a long-term investment that pays off in durability, energy savings, and curb appeal — on residential and commercial properties alike.
50+ Year Lifespan
We install Galvalume steel and aluminum panels that outlast asphalt shingles by decades, withstanding hail, high winds, and heavy snow loads.
Energy Savings Up to 25%
Our reflective metal panels with cool roof coatings reduce attic heat gain — a real advantage under Colorado's intense high-altitude sun.
Wind Ratings Up to 140 MPH
We fasten every panel to meet UL 580 uplift standards, built for the Front Range's downslope windstorms and storm-heavy plains.
Class A Fire Rating
Metal roofing resists ignition from embers and lightning, earning the highest fire classification available for residential roofs.
Certified Installation Teams
Our crews hold manufacturer certifications from leading brands, which qualifies your new roof for extended material and workmanship warranties.
Hail country's endgame: Class 4 impact rating, insurer-recognized.
Why Choose Us
Certified Craft on Every Seam
Our installers complete manufacturer training programs every year — panel seaming, underlayment selection, flashing details, and fastener patterns specific to each system. When we flash a chimney or seal a valley, we follow the exact specifications the manufacturer requires. This protects your warranty and your home.
We back every installation with our 10-year workmanship guarantee: if a seam leaks or a fastener backs out due to installation error, we repair it at no cost. Material warranties run 30 to 50 years depending on the panel system and paint finish you select.
ARCM Roofing carries full liability insurance and licensing. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and handle every code requirement — and your written estimate breaks down materials, labor, tear-off, disposal, and underlayment so you know exactly where your money goes.
Project managers walk you through panel profiles, gauge options, and PVDF-coated color palettes before work begins.
When It Makes Sense
Signs It's Time for Metal
Repeated Shingle Repairs
If you've patched asphalt shingles two or three times in five years, the roof deck and shingle mat are degrading. Granule loss, cupping, and cracked tabs signal end-of-life conditions. A metal roof ends the repair cycle with panels that last half a century.
Storm Damage That Keeps Recurring
Homes in hail corridors and high-wind zones suffer repeated insurance claims. Impact-rated metal panels carry UL 2218 Class 4 ratings, the highest hail resistance classification. Many insurers offer premium discounts once we install an impact-resistant metal system.
Rising Cooling Bills
Dark asphalt shingles absorb solar radiation and push attic temperatures past 150 degrees. Reflective metal panels with high solar reflectance index values bounce that heat away. Homeowners often see cooling costs drop after installation.
Sagging Deck or Structural Concerns
Heavy roofing materials like slate or multiple shingle layers strain rafters and trusses. Metal roofing weighs roughly one third of asphalt shingles per square. We can install metal panels over a single existing shingle layer in many cases, reducing tear-off costs and landfill waste.
Planning to Stay Long Term
If you plan to keep your home for 15 years or more, the lifetime cost of metal beats asphalt. You'll skip two full replacements, avoid repair bills, and add resale value that appraisers recognize.

How We Work
Our Metal Roof Installation Process
01
Roof Inspection and Measurement
We inspect your existing roof, decking, ventilation, and flashing points. Our estimators measure every plane, hip, valley, and penetration to calculate exact panel and trim quantities.
02
Material Selection
You choose your panel profile, gauge, and color. We present standing seam, ribbed panel, and metal shingle options with samples so you can see finishes in natural light.
03
Tear-Off and Deck Preparation
Our crew strips old roofing, inspects the deck for rot, and replaces damaged sheathing. We install high-temperature synthetic underlayment and ice and water shield at eaves and valleys.
04
Panel Installation
We install panels from eave to ridge with concealed clips or gasketed fasteners, depending on your system. Our installers seal every seam and flash every penetration to manufacturer specification.
05
Trim and Ridge Work
We fit ridge caps, gable trim, drip edge, and vented closures. These details waterproof the transitions where most roof leaks begin.
06
Final Inspection and Cleanup
A project manager inspects the finished roof, runs a magnetic sweep for stray fasteners, and walks you through the warranty documents before we leave.
Most residential installations complete in two to five days.

FAQs
FAQs About Metal Roof Installation
›What is metal roof installation?
Metal roof installation is the process of fitting steel, aluminum, or stone-coated metal panels to your roof deck over specialized underlayment. Installers fasten panels with concealed clips or gasketed screws, then flash and seal every seam and penetration.
›How long does metal roof installation take?
Most residential projects take two to five days. A simple gable roof finishes faster than a complex hip roof with dormers, valleys, and multiple penetrations.
›How much does metal roof installation cost?
Pricing depends on panel type, gauge, roof complexity, and square footage. Standing seam costs more than exposed fastener panels. We provide free written estimates with itemized pricing.
›Can you install a metal roof over shingles?
Yes, in many cases. Building codes typically allow installation over one existing shingle layer. We assess deck condition first and add furring or underlayment as needed.
›Does a metal roof make noise when it rains?
No. Solid decking and underlayment absorb sound. A properly installed metal roof over sheathing sounds no louder than asphalt shingles during rainfall.
›Why choose metal over asphalt shingles?
Metal lasts two to three times longer, resists hail and fire, reflects heat, and holds resale value. You'll skip the replacement cycle that asphalt demands every 15 to 20 years.
›When is the best time to schedule installation?
We install metal roofing year-round. Spring and fall offer mild temperatures, but our crews work safely in most weather conditions. Book early because schedules fill fast during storm season.
