Our Metal Roof Installation Process
We follow a clear, structured approach to metal roof installation that ensures durability, proper fit, and long-term performance. From initial evaluation through to final installation, every step is designed to meet the specific needs of your property and optimize the lifespan of your roof.
1. Site Assessment
We start by conducting a thorough site assessment to understand your roof’s structure and condition. This includes measuring dimensions, inspecting the underlying decking, and checking for any damage or weak spots.
This process helps us identify challenges such as uneven surfaces or ventilation issues. We also consider local climate factors, which influence material choice and installation methods.
Commercial Skylight Options
Choosing the right metal roofing material is crucial for durability and performance. We work closely with clients to select from options like aluminum, steel, or copper, each offering different benefits in terms of weight, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.
We source materials from trusted suppliers who meet industry standards. All materials comply with local building codes and come with manufacturer warranties.
3. Professional Installation
Our installation team begins by preparing the roof deck, removing any existing roofing materials if necessary. We then install a high-quality underlayment to provide moisture and thermal protection.
Next, we carefully position and secure metal panels or shingles according to manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices. Fastening is done with corrosion-resistant screws to ensure stability.
Benefits of Metal Roofing in California
Metal roofing offers several practical advantages that suit California’s climate and building demands. It performs well under intense sunlight, varying weather, and is built to last. These features make it a smart choice for both residential and commercial properties.
Durability and Longevity
Metal roofs can last 40 to 70 years, far exceeding traditional asphalt shingles. Their resistance to cracking, shrinking, and eroding means fewer repairs over time.
In California, where sun exposure is constant, metal roofs do not degrade as quickly. They also stand up well to heavy
winds and hail, which are common in some areas.
We use coated metals like galvalume that resist rust and corrosion, helping extend the roof’s lifespan even in coastal environments.
Energy Efficiency
Metal roofing reflects solar radiant heat rather than absorbing it. This reduces cooling costs by up to 25% in sunny climates like ours.
We install metal roofs with reflective coatings and proper insulation underneath to maximize energy savings in summer months. This can lead to lower electricity bills and improved indoor comfort.
Additionally, metal roofs allow for easy installation of solar panels, enhancing their energy-saving potential.
Weather and Fire Resistance
In California, wildfires and severe storms are significant threats to homes. Metal roofs are non-combustible and rated
Class A for fire resistance, offering critical protection.
Their tough surface sheds rain and snow effectively, reducing the risk of leaks and water damage. Metal’s resilience against wind uplift also helps maintain roof integrity in storms.
By choosing metal roofing from us, you gain a system designed to withstand the natural challenges unique to our region.

Metal Roof Installation FAQs
How much does metal roof installation cost in Santa Barbara?
Metal roof installation in Santa Barbara typically ranges from $12,000 to $25,000 for an average-sized home, depending on the material type, roof complexity, and square footage. Premium materials like copper or zinc can push costs higher, while steel and aluminum options fall on the lower end. Coastal location factors and local permit requirements may add to the overall investment.
What types of metal roofing materials are best for coastal climates?
Aluminum and galvanized steel with protective coatings perform exceptionally well in Santa Barbara's coastal environment. Aluminum naturally resists salt air corrosion, while high-quality galvanized steel with Galvalume or similar coatings provides excellent durability against moisture and salt exposure. These materials maintain their integrity and appearance despite the challenging coastal conditions.
Standing seam vs corrugated metal roofing - which is better?
Standing seam offers superior weather protection with its interlocking panels and hidden fasteners, making it ideal for Santa Barbara's varied weather conditions. It provides a sleeker appearance and longer lifespan but costs more upfront. Corrugated metal is more budget-friendly and easier to install but has exposed fasteners that may require more maintenance over time.
How long does metal roof installation take?
Most metal roof installations in Santa Barbara take 3 to 7 days for a typical residential home. Factors affecting timeline include roof size, complexity, weather conditions, and whether the existing roof needs removal. Simple roof designs with easy access can be completed faster, while complex architectures or structural modifications may extend the project duration.
Can metal roofing be installed over existing shingles?
Yes, metal roofing can often be installed over one layer of existing asphalt shingles, which saves on removal costs and disposal fees. However, the roof structure must be evaluated to ensure it can support the additional weight, and local Santa Barbara building codes must be followed. Some situations require complete shingle removal for optimal results.
