If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Standard home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Metal Roofing Consultation
Our estimator visits your property, measures the roof, and walks you through material options. You'll see color samples against your home's exterior. Budget comparison between standing seam and exposed fastener options provided.
Panel Ordering & Prep
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.
Precision Installation
Installation by our dedicated metal crew, not a shingle crew with a metal job on the side. These installers do metal roofing every week. Seams are tight, transitions are clean, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Warranty & Completion
Every seam, fastener, and flashing point inspected. Your manufacturer warranty registered on completion day: 40-year paint finish, 25-year weathertight system warranty. Written workmanship warranty from Standard Roofing & Maintenance.

Why Choose Standard Roofing & Maintenance for Metal Roofing?
Energy Savings
Reflective metal reduces cooling costs 15-25%. In IL heat, that adds up fast. Metal pays for itself over its lifetime in energy savings alone.
Class 4 Impact Resistance
UL 2218 Class 4 rated. Handles the largest hail without compromising the waterproof system. Often qualifies for insurance premium discounts in IL.
Class A Fire Rating
Metal roofing is non-combustible with a Class A fire rating. Added safety for homes in fire-prone areas or those seeking lower insurance premiums.
40-60 Year Lifespan
Standing seam metal is the longest-lasting residential roofing material. Install it once and never replace it again. The math works out better than replacing shingles twice.
About Our Standard Metal Roofing Services
We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer coating is the gold standard. It resists fading, chalking, and color shift for 40+ years. Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal are our primary suppliers, both with proven track records.
Metal roofing works on pitches as low as 3:12 for standing seam. Steeper pitches look incredible in metal and shed water faster. For low-slope applications, we use specific underlayment and sealant details to ensure watertight performance. We help you select the right panel profile for your roof geometry.
