Metal roofing is one of the most durable and long-lasting roofing systems available for both residential and commercial properties. Throughout the Greater Philadelphia Area, more homeowners are choosing metal roofing not only for its long-term performance, but also for the clean, modern, and high-end appearance it provides. Unlike traditional roofing systems, metal roofing is often selected as an upgrade — not just a replacement. Standing seam and copper roofing systems create sharp lines, consistent panel layouts, and a refined finish that can significantly elevate the overall look of a property. For higher-end homes, custom properties, and certain commercial buildings, metal roofing becomes part of the architecture itself.
Metal roofing also performs extremely well in the weather conditions seen throughout this region, including heavy rain, snow, wind, humidity, and temperature swings. Many systems are designed to reflect heat, which can help regulate interior temperatures during warmer months. While the upfront investment is higher than a standard shingle roof, the extended lifespan, reduced maintenance, and premium appearance often make metal roofing a strong long-term decision.
Schedule Free EvaluationHere, Miguel steps out of the Shelby Roofing Services truck and walks a customer’s property. Every metal roof is measured and custom fabricated to the exact structure it will be installed on, so our team inspects the roof, diagnoses issues firsthand, and stays accountable from the first call to the final walkthrough.
A metal roofing system is a high-performance assembly made from interlocking panels designed to shed water efficiently while maintaining long-term durability.
Unlike shingle systems, many metal roofs use concealed fastening systems, which means the fasteners are not exposed to the elements. This reduces the risk of leaks over time and contributes to a cleaner, more uniform appearance.
Metal roofing systems are designed to expand and contract with temperature changes. Because of this, proper layout, fastening, and installation technique are critical.
One of the most important differences between metal roofing and other roofing systems is that metal roofs are not one-size-fits-all systems. Every metal roof is custom planned and fabricated specifically for the property it is being installed on. Unlike shingle roofing—where materials come in standard sizes—metal roofing panels are often custom-made based on the exact dimensions and design of the roof. This process begins before installation, during the measuring and planning stage.
Panel width plays a major role in the final appearance. Wider panels create a cleaner, more modern look, while narrower panels create a more detailed, traditional appearance. This is a design decision made before fabrication.
Panel lengths are determined based on each section of the roof. Because most roofs are not perfectly uniform, panel lengths will vary. These panels are fabricated specifically for that property to ensure proper fit and performance.
Metal roofing requires custom-fabricated flashing components for chimneys, valleys, walls, penetrations, and transitions. Since every roof layout is different, these details are unique to each project.
Metal roofing is not just installed—it is designed, measured, and fabricated to match the exact structure it will be installed on.
Every project begins with a complete tear-off of the existing roofing system. All materials—including shingles, underlayment, flashings, fasteners, and ventilation components—are removed. Nothing is reused. This ensures a clean surface and eliminates weak points.
High-temp underlayment or ice and water barrier is installed. This protects the decking from condensation and moisture beneath the metal panels. Metal transfers heat, so high-temp materials are required for long-term performance. What goes under each type of roof →
The roof is carefully measured and laid out. This ensures straight panel lines, a balanced appearance, and proper expansion behavior.
Panels are installed using concealed clips or mechanical seams. This allows panels to expand and contract while remaining watertight.
Proper fastening ensures the panels stay secure while movement is still allowed, so there are no warping or noise issues.
All flashing is new and custom fabricated. This protects the most leak-prone areas of the roof.
Trim is installed to protect the edges, direct water, and finish the appearance.
Ventilation helps reduce heat, prevent moisture buildup, and extend roof life.
The system is inspected, the site is cleaned, and a final walkthrough is completed.

The right system depends on your goals for appearance, budget, longevity, and the property itself.
Metal roofing is one of the most durable and long-lasting roofing systems available. Expected lifespan depends on the system selected:
Because every metal roof is custom planned and fabricated, no two projects are priced the same.
An inspection is required for an accurate price. Every inspection is free and includes a drone roof inspection and a written estimate. Financing options may also be available for qualified applicants.
Every metal roof we install is backed by two warranties.
The manufacturer’s material warranty covers the roofing materials themselves.
The Shelby Roofing Services 30-year workmanship warranty covers the installation.
Both warranties are transferable, so the coverage stays with the property if it is sold.
Metal roofing requires precision. Even the best panels depend on how they are laid out, fastened, and detailed.
Your property is protected and kept clean from tear-off to the final walkthrough.

No, not with a proper installation. Installed over solid roof decking with underlayment, a metal roof is no louder than a shingle roof, and proper fastening and expansion control prevent warping and noise issues.
No. Every project begins with a complete tear-off. Shingles, underlayment, flashings, fasteners, and ventilation components are all removed, and all flashing on the new roof is new and custom fabricated.
Yes, over the long term. The upfront investment is higher than a standard shingle roof, but the extended lifespan, reduced maintenance, and premium appearance often make metal roofing a strong long-term decision.
