Penn Ohio Roofing
Metal Roofs
Standing seam and metal shingle systems.
A properly installed metal roof can outlast your home. Modern metal roofing looks fantastic — the days of ribbed barn tin are long gone — and it performs even better, shedding snow, reflecting heat, and standing up to hail and high winds. We install standing seam panels and metal shingle systems in a full range of colors and finishes.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we deliver premium installations backed by industry-leading warranties. Every project is handled by our in-house crews — no subcontractors — and finished with a thorough clean-up so your property looks better than when we arrived.
What Is Metal Roofs?
Metal roofing on a Sharon, PA home usually means standing seam panels with concealed fasteners, or metal on a low-slope addition where shingles cannot be used. It costs more up front than asphalt and lasts substantially longer, sheds snow well, and handles the freeze-thaw cycles of this region better than almost anything else.
How Metal Goes On
- 1Tear off to the deck and repair sheathing — metal telegraphs every dip in a bad deck.
- 2High-temperature underlayment across the field and ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys.
- 3Panels formed to the exact rafter length, with concealed clips that let the metal expand and contract.
- 4Trim, ridge, and valley detail fabricated to match, and snow retention added where panels shed onto a walk or a drive.
Do It Right
- Standing seam with concealed fasteners over exposed-fastener panel on a house.
- Plan for thermal movement — clips, not face screws through the panel.
- Add snow guards above entries, walkways, and driveways.
- Match gauge and coating to the exposure, and get the finish warranty in writing.
What to Avoid
- Exposed-fastener ag panel on a residence — the gaskets fail and every screw becomes a leak.
- Installing metal over a wavy, unrepaired deck.
- Skipping snow retention above a doorway.
- Crews who install shingle all year and metal twice a year.
Warning Signs on a Sharon, PA Home
- You want a roof you will not replace again.
