Frequently Asked Questions
Is commercial metal roofing worth the higher upfront cost?
Whether metal roofing is appropriate depends on the building, roof slope, substrate, exposure, budget, maintenance plan, code requirements, and project priorities. A contractor can compare available system options for the property.
Does metal roofing work well in Southern California's climate?
Metal systems can be evaluated for Southern California conditions, including sun exposure, thermal movement, rain, and coastal environments. Material, coating, detailing, and project design should be considered for the specific site.
Can metal roofing be installed over an existing flat roof?
A metal retrofit may be an option in some projects, subject to the existing roof, structural requirements, code, drainage, attachment details, and the proposed assembly. A contractor can assess whether an overlay is appropriate.
What is the best metal roofing for a commercial warehouse in Los Angeles?
