When you are thinking about strength, durability and performance, metal roofing systems are hands down the best choice for a commercial or industrial building. Offering 50+ years of lifespan, metal is tear- and puncture-resistant. With timely maintenance it provides superb protection from the elements, and is even fully recyclable when replacement becomes appropriate.
There are different metal roofing system options to choose from. Cosam Contracting specializes in standing seam metal roofing services.
What is “Standing Seam”?
Unlike the corrugated tin roof many people visualize when thinking about metal roofing, standing seam metal roofing systems are visually pleasing to the eye. Standing seam roofs have distinctive vertical patterns with clean lines and hidden fasteners that many people find more attractive on commercial buildings.
Standing seam metal roofing features metal panels that have vertical legs or seams. These legs are connected with concealed fasteners and rise above the level of the panels.
The strength of the design is that all the connecting areas are lifted, allowing moisture, whether in the form of rain or snow, to slide down the panels and away from the seam area.
Other benefits include resistance to ice dam formation and the development of mold or fungi growth, fire-resistance, chemical-resistance, and versatility.
Qualifications to Look for in a Standing Seam Contractor
Ensuring that your commercial or industrial exterior remains in excellent condition is important. While there are many components of your building that will likely need maintenance work at some point, special attention should be paid to your metal roofing. When it’s time to hire a metal roofing contractor to install things like a standing seam metal roof for your business, there are several things you should be looking for. Some of them include:
Qualifications and Credentials. One of the best ways to ensure that you obtain the high quality services you deserve is to determine what type of qualifications and credentials a metal roofing contractor has. Some things you can look for include certifications, training programs, educational degrees, awards, internships, and licensure.
Community Reputation. In addition to considering the qualifications and credentials of the metal roofing contractor who wants to service your roof, you need to figure out what type of reputation the roofing company has in your local community. You can ask the contractor or the company representing him or her for customer testimonials. Gaining this information can give you confidence that the roofing company is ethical and operates in excellence.
Satisfaction Guarantee. When you begin the process of finding the right metal roofing contractor to install a standing seam metal roof in your commercial building, you need to know what type of satisfaction guarantee will be granted.
