What is standing seam?
Standing seam metal roofing is a system that has NO exposed screws, all fasteners are hidden. Standing Seam roofs are much different from Ag panels you may see on a barn or a shed. We use a 24g metal when forming our panels, Ag panels (expose screws) are typically 28g-30g. The paint on our metal is a Kynar 500 or similar finish. This gives the finish a LIFETIME warranty and the thicker gage gives the roof the longest life a metal roof can have.Here at WB Exteriors we form our own standing seam metal panels with our roll forming machine. This gives us the ability to have very little waste and no added money for Crating. We pass these savings on to you, making our Metal roof systems the best value on the market.
Who to Hire?
When searching for a company to hire for installation of a Standing Seam Metal roof you must be vigilant about who you invite to bid the roof. Every roofer says they CAN install metal until it’s time to actually install them. They quickly find out they, or the subcontractor they hired, can not install a standing seam roof and will either install it poorly or walk away. I’ve seen it first hand as we are the company contractors call to fix these poorly installed roofs. Many times we have to remove the entire roof system that was poorly installed and install our system. It’s a sad situation and much too common.Why WB Exteriors?

Standing Seam Roof Cost?
A standing seam metal roof can be 2-3 times the cost of an asphalt roof. The average roof size is roughly 30 sq (3,000 sq ft) that could be around $45,000 - $50,000 to get a new standing seam roof. There are many variables that change the cost one way or another such as the size, the difficulty, pitch and most importantly how big is the trim package. If there is a lot of valleys, ridge cap, walls etc the cost will rise rapidly the opposite occurs if your roof has very little trim, the cost can decrease.
In the first picture you’ll see a simple straight roof that’s 2 sides to the roof, no valleys, walls, hips or transition. This project had a small trim package. In the second picture you will notice that there is a lot of different trims. You’ll see valleys, hips, walls, transitions from steep to shallow pitch.
These 2 roof are about the same size but the second roof pictured was 45% more expensive due to the trims package size and the difficulty of the project.
Standing seam roofs come with a high cost but when completed correctly they are second to none with appearance, longevity and functionality.
