Why Metal Roofing Is Gaining Popularity
The metal roofing market has experienced significant growth over the past decade, now accounting for approximately 17 percent of the residential roofing market in the United States. This surge in popularity stems from a combination of factors including longevity, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal. Unlike traditional asphalt shingles that typically last 20 to 30 years, a properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years depending on the material chosen. Standing seam panels, corrugated steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc are just some of the options available to property owners today.
Energy efficiency is another compelling reason homeowners are making the switch. Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat rather than absorbing it, which can reduce cooling costs by up to 25 percent during summer months. In the winter, metal roofing provides excellent insulation support when paired with proper underlayment and ventilation systems. For a customer service based roofing company like ours, helping you understand these benefits and guiding you toward the right choice is what we do best. We drive to satisfy every customer 100 percent of the time.
Types of Metal Roofing We Install
Choosing the right metal roofing system depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and the specific demands of your property. We work with a range of trusted manufacturers and material suppliers to offer options that suit every need. Here are the most popular metal roofing styles we install:
- Standing Seam Metal Roofing features raised interlocking seams that run vertically along the roof panel, creating a sleek modern appearance while providing superior weather protection and eliminating exposed fasteners
- Corrugated Metal Panels offer a classic ribbed profile that works well on agricultural buildings, commercial structures, and rustic residential designs at an affordable price point
- Metal Shingles replicate the look of traditional asphalt, slate, or wood shake shingles while delivering all the performance advantages of metal construction
- Copper and Zinc Roofing provide a premium aesthetic that develops a natural patina over time, adding character and elegance to high-end residential properties

Our Installation Process
Proper installation is the single most important factor in determining how well a metal roof performs over its lifetime. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of the existing roof structure, checking for any decking damage, ventilation issues, or structural concerns that need to be addressed before new material goes on. We remove old roofing materials when necessary, repair or replace damaged decking, and install high-quality synthetic underlayment to provide a secondary moisture barrier.
From there, our crews carefully measure and align each panel or shingle to ensure precise fitment and proper thermal expansion allowances. Metal expands and contracts with temperature changes, so accounting for this movement during installation is critical. We use manufacturer-approved fasteners, trims, and flashing components to seal every transition point including valleys, ridges, eaves, and penetrations around vents and chimneys. Focusing on the future means we build roofs designed to withstand whatever weather comes next.
Durability That Stands Up to Capital Region Weather
From heavy snowfall and ice dams to high winds and driving rain, the weather in this part of New York State tests every roofing system. Metal roofing excels under these conditions. Snow slides off the smooth surface more readily than it accumulates on textured shingle roofs, reducing the risk of dangerous ice dam formation along the eaves. Most metal roofing systems are rated to withstand wind speeds of 110 miles per hour or more, and they carry Class A fire resistance ratings.
We also work with industry leaders like Owens Corning and IKO to provide complementary products such as siding, gutters, doors, and windows that pair seamlessly with your new metal roof. Maximum Level Roofing has you covered where it matters most.
