If you're thinking about metal roofing for your San Rafael home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Our Metal Roofing Process

Your panels, clips, trim, and flashing fabricated to spec. Materials staged at your San Rafael property the day before installation. Everything verified against the project scope before install day.
Professional Metal Crew
Our metal roofing crew installs panels from eave to ridge, securing with concealed clips that allow thermal movement. Every seam interlocked by hand. Flashing details custom-bent on-site for penetrations and transitions.
Warranty & Completion
Every seam, fastener, and flashing point inspected. Your manufacturer warranty registered on completion day: 40-year paint finish, 25-year weathertight system warranty. Written workmanship warranty from San Rafael Roofing & Maintenance.

About Our San Rafael Metal Roofing Services
We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer coating is the gold standard. It resists fading, chalking, and color shift for 40+ years. Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal are our primary suppliers, both with proven track records.
Metal roofing works on pitches as low as 3:12 for standing seam. Steeper pitches look incredible in metal and shed water faster. For low-slope applications, we use specific underlayment and sealant details to ensure watertight performance. We help you select the right panel profile for your roof geometry.
