Metal systems we install
- Standing-seam metal panels — concealed-fastener, available in 24-gauge steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc.
- Metal shingles — stamped to mimic slate, shake, or tile profiles. Good fit for historic neighborhoods.
- Copper accent and full-copper work — bay-window roofs, dormers, valleys, gutters, and full architectural roofs.
- Snow guards and snow rails — not optional on a metal roof in this region.
Why metal roofs work in Westchester
Northern Westchester gets 30 to 40 inches of annual snowfall. A metal roof sheds snow predictably (with snow retention installed), resists ice dams, doesn’t hold moisture, and won’t lose granules the way asphalt does. Insurance carriers often discount premiums for metal roofs because of fire and impact resistance.
Common questions about metal roofs
We get asked about noise, denting, and cost. Properly installed standing-seam over a solid deck and underlayment is no louder in rain than an asphalt roof. Modern 24-gauge steel resists hail-driven denting on the standard residential pitches we see in this area. Cost runs roughly two to three times an asphalt shingle roof, but the lifespan is two to three times longer.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a metal roof last in New York?
Forty to seventy years is realistic for a quality standing-seam metal roof installed with proper underlayment and fasteners. Copper roofs routinely reach 100 years.
Will my metal roof rust?
No. We install Galvalume-coated steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc — all corrosion-resistant systems suited to coastal/humid Northeast conditions.
Do you install snow guards?
Always, on any metal roof in Westchester. Snow shedding off a steep metal pitch without retention is a safety and property-damage risk for entryways, vehicles, landscaping, and HVAC.
