The last roof your home will ever need.
A professionally installed metal roof lasts 40–70 years — two to three times longer than asphalt — while shrugging off wildfire embers, hail, and high winds. We install standing-seam, stone-coated steel, metal shingle, and R-panel systems across San Jose and the Bay Area: Class A fire-rated, Title 24 "cool-metal" compliant, and solar-ready. We pull the permits and handle the warranty paperwork.
A standing-seam metal roof is a system of interlocking vertical steel or aluminum panels joined by raised seams that hide every fastener above the water line. With no exposed screws to loosen or leak, a standing-seam roof lasts 40–70 years, carries a Class A fire rating, and sheds Bay Area rain, wind, and wildfire embers better than any asphalt shingle.
Hidden fasteners — seams lock over the panel edge, so nothing pierces the water plane and there are no exposed-screw failures.
40–70 year lifespan — one metal roof outlasts two to three asphalt roofs, so the cost per year is far lower.
Class A fire-rated — non-combustible metal earns the highest fire rating, critical for San Jose's WUI foothill zones.
Solar-ready — panels clamp to the seams with no roof penetrations, so you never void the roof warranty to go solar.
A professionally installed metal roof lasts 40–70 years in the Bay Area — two to three times longer than the 15–20 years you get from asphalt shingles. Aluminum and coated-steel standing-seam systems reach the top of that range because the Bay Area's mild, corrosion-friendly climate is easy on metal. That longevity, plus a Class A fire rating and near-zero maintenance, is why metal is usually the most cost-effective roof over the life of a home. Pair it with a cool-metal finish and you also cut cooling costs 10–25% — see our cool roofing page for the Title 24 details.
Asphalt shingles last 15–20 years, then lose granules and crack under UV. A standing-seam metal roof lasts 40–70 years with minimal maintenance — outlasting two to three shingle roofs on the very same home, which is where its lower cost-per-year comes from.
Metal roofing runs about $9–$16 per square foot installed in the Bay Area — roughly $18,000–$32,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home. Standing seam sits at the top of that range; stone-coated steel and metal shingle are more affordable. The upfront cost is higher than asphalt, but the cost per year is lower given the 40–70 year lifespan.
Certified in every major metal system — we match the profile, gauge, and finish to your home's architecture, your fire zone, and your budget.
Clean vertical lines and fully hidden fasteners — no exposed screws to fail as the metal expands. The premium, solar-ready architectural choice, ideal for a full roof replacement.
The look of clay tile or wood shake with the strength of steel — stone-coated panels add texture and curb appeal in classic colors, at a fraction of tile's weight.
Dimensional metal shingles give a traditional roofline the durability of metal — Class A fire-rated, lightweight, and long-lasting for homes that want a familiar shingle look.
24-gauge steel and aluminum R-panel and standing-seam systems for commercial buildings, including metal-over-metal retrofits and NDL-warranty options.
A one-time investment that protects your home for decades — and, in a wildfire-exposed, high-cost region, does two things asphalt simply can't.
Non-combustible metal earns a Class A fire rating — the highest available — so it won't ignite from wind-blown embers. That's critical for homes in San Jose's WUI foothills and wildfire-prone areas near San Mateo County and the Santa Cruz Mountains.
One metal roof outlasts two to three asphalt roofs, resisting hail, high winds, warping, and cracking — the last roof most Bay Area homes will ever need, with a 50-year material warranty behind it.
Reflective, CRRC-rated cool-metal finishes lower attic temperatures and cut cooling costs 10–25% under Title 24 — and standing-seam panels let you clamp on solar with zero roof penetrations.
A seamless, start-to-finish install backed by expert craftsmanship and minimal disruption to your routine.
During a free roof inspection we evaluate your roof structure, drainage, and ventilation, then engineer the ideal metal system, gauge, and finish for your home and fire zone.
We pull the San Jose roofing permits, tear off the old roof, then install high-performance underlayment and proper ventilation for a sound, energy-efficient base.
Panels are custom-bent on site and set with concealed-fastener, hidden-seam techniques — precise flashing at every valley, ridge, and transition for a watertight, lasting roof.

A real project at 2123 Queens Ln, San Mateo, CA 94402 — a single-family home that traded a failing asphalt roof for a lifetime standing-seam metal replacement in Slate Gray, integrated with a high-reflectivity white membrane on the flat section.
Metal roofing in San Jose typically costs $18,000 to $32,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home, or about $9–$16 per square foot installed. Standing seam sits at the top of that range, while stone-coated steel and metal shingle are more affordable. The upfront cost is higher than asphalt, but because metal lasts 40–70 years, the cost per year is significantly lower.
A professionally installed standing-seam metal roof lasts 40–70 years in the Bay Area, versus 15–20 years for asphalt shingles — so one metal roof can outlast two to three asphalt roofs on the same home, with minimal maintenance in between.
Yes. Metal is non-combustible and earns a Class A fire rating — the highest available — so it won't ignite from wind-blown embers. That makes metal one of the best roofing choices for homes in San Jose's WUI foothills and other Bay Area wildfire zones.
No. Installed over solid decking with proper underlayment, a modern metal roof is no louder than asphalt during rain or hail — many homeowners actually find it quieter because the underlayment and decking absorb sound.
Yes — and standing seam is the best roof for solar. Panels clamp directly to the raised seams with no holes drilled through the roof, so you add solar without any penetrations that could leak or void the roof warranty.
Yes. Reflective cool-metal finishes are CRRC-rated and qualify as cool roofs under California's Title 24 energy code, cutting cooling costs 10–25% and often making the roof eligible for energy rebates.
