Metal Roof Installation

Durable metal panels for homes, porches, and outbuildings, with careful trim and fastening details. Offered by York Roofing Co for homeowners in York, Pennsylvania.

Overview

Metal roof installation covers roofs made from steel or aluminum panels. Metal sheds snow readily, resists wind well when properly fastened, and comes in many colors that suit farmhouses, cottages, and modern homes alike.

York Roofing Co installs metal roofs for homeowners in York, Pennsylvania, on main houses as well as porches, additions, and outbuildings.

Metal rewards precise detailing

Metal panels expand and contract with temperature. Trim at eaves, rakes, ridges, and walls has to allow for that movement while keeping water out. Fasteners must be placed and tightened correctly.

When those details are rushed, a metal roof can leak at screws or trim. When they are done well, metal is a strong, low maintenance roof.
