How to Lay Metal Roofing?

At A2Z Roofing, our goal is to give our clients access to the finest options for their homes. Metal roofing has quickly become one of the premier choices among roofing solutions; for good reason! Not only is it durable and long-term reliable but its sleek modern aesthetic also stands out. But How to lay metal roofing? In this blog post from A2Z Roofing’s process for installing your metal roof seamlessly we’ll show you.

1. Measure and Select Materials For Installation

Before any metal panels even touch your roof, our team gets busy on the ground. We carefully measure every slope and angle of your roof to cut precisely to size while minimizing waste for an ideal fit.

At this point, we will go over your metal roofing options with you. There is an assortment of styles – classic standing seam to modern corrugated panels – so we will consider your desired aesthetic, budget, and roof pitch when helping select an optimal metal choice for your home.

2. Prep The Roof Deck

Once measurements and materials selections have been finalized, our focus will turn toward your existing roof deck. A2Z Roofing always ensures it is in top condition before installing new materials – this may involve minor repairs or even full underlayment replacement in some instances.

Installing the appropriate underlayment membrane is key in metal roof installation, as this special membrane serves as additional protection from moisture infiltration while improving ventilation.

3. Install Drip Edge and Soffit as Needed

A drip edge is a metal flashing that’s attached to the eaves of your roof to divert rainwater away from fascia boards, thus protecting soffits (undersides of roof overhangs) against damage from rainwater run-off. Our expert installation team can expertly install one before going on to metal panel installation; for more details regarding installation visit the A2Z Roofing website blog post about roofing in Spruce Grove!

4. Metal Panel Installation from the Bottom Up

Metal roofing panels are usually installed in rows from eaves to ridge, starting with the lowest rows at the eaves and moving upward towards the highest. Each panel overlaps slightly over its predecessor for a watertight seal. Our experienced roofers use fasteners specifically designed to attach metal panels securely to the roof deck. Fastening ensures strong winds don’t uproot them during bad weather!

5. Finish Trimming and Touch Ups

Once all metal panels have been attached to your roof, our team of installers will carefully trim any excess metal that protrudes beyond its edges. Furthermore, ridge caps will be installed over each peak for an aesthetic, finished look.

6. Final Inspection and Clean-up

At this final stage of metal roof installation, our team conducts an exhaustive inspection to guarantee the perfect execution of every step. Once confirmed as perfect, they’ll clean up their work area so your property looks spotless again!
