About Commercial Metal Roofing

When building owners want a roof system that will outlast every other component of their building, they choose metal. Edison Roofing Contractor installs commercial metal roofing systems that deliver forty to sixty years of virtually maintenance-free performance for businesses across Middlesex County. Our commercial metal roofing options include standing seam panels, corrugated metal, and architectural metal systems in steel, aluminum, and copper, each engineered for the specific wind loads, snow loads, and aesthetic requirements of your building. Standing seam metal roofing features concealed fastener panels that expand and contract freely with temperature changes, eliminating the fastener back-out and seal failures that plague exposed fastener systems over time. The interlocking seam design creates a watertight barrier that sheds water, snow, and ice with exceptional efficiency. Metal roofing reflects solar radiation, reducing cooling costs significantly during New Jersey summers, and its smooth surface prevents the moisture retention and biological growth that degrade other roofing materials. For commercial buildings with sloped roof sections, architectural requirements, or owners planning long-term hold strategies, metal roofing delivers the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry. The initial investment is higher than membrane systems, but when you factor in the fifty-plus year lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements, metal roofing costs less per year of service than any alternative. Our installations include comprehensive manufacturer warranties and our own workmanship guarantee.

Our Commercial Metal Roofing Process

1

Design and Engineering

We analyze your building structure, wind zone, snow load requirements, and aesthetic preferences to engineer a metal roof system with proper panel profiles, gauges, and attachment details.

2

Material Fabrication and Procurement

Metal panels are custom-fabricated to your building dimensions, minimizing field cutting and waste. Trim, flashing, and accessories are manufactured to match your selected finish.

3

Substrate and Underlayment Installation

The roof deck is fitted with appropriate underlayment, ice and water shield at eaves and valleys, and clip systems that allow thermal expansion and contraction.

4

Panel Installation

Metal panels are installed from eave to ridge with proper overlap, clip engagement, and sealant application at critical transitions. Each panel is checked for alignment and secure attachment.

5

Trim, Flashing, and Final Details

Ridge caps, valley flashings, wall flashings, pipe boots, and edge trim are installed to complete the weather-tight envelope. All transitions are sealed and tested.

Commercial Metal Roofing FAQ

How much does commercial metal roofing cost compared to other systems?

Commercial metal roofing typically costs twelve to twenty dollars per square foot installed, which is higher than TPO at eight to twelve dollars or EPDM at seven to eleven dollars per square foot. However, metal roofing lasts forty to sixty years compared to twenty to thirty years for membrane systems, making the cost per year of service significantly lower. When you eliminate the mid-life replacement that membrane roofs require, metal roofing often proves to be the most economical choice for building owners with long-term hold strategies. We provide detailed cost comparisons with your free estimate so you can make an informed decision. Contact us to compare your options.

Can metal roofing be installed on a flat commercial building?

Metal roofing requires a minimum slope to function properly, typically at least one-quarter inch per foot for standing seam systems and three inches per twelve for corrugated profiles. Flat or very low-slope commercial buildings are not ideal candidates for metal roofing and are better served by TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen membrane systems. Buildings with sloped sections can use metal on the sloped portions and a membrane system on any flat sections. We evaluate your building geometry during the assessment and recommend the appropriate system for each roof section. Schedule a free assessment to discuss your building needs.

Is commercial metal roofing noisy during rainstorms?

Modern commercial metal roofing installations with proper insulation and solid decking are no louder during rain than any other roof system. The metal panels are installed over rigid insulation and a structural deck that dampen sound transmission effectively. The noise perception comes from older metal buildings with uninsulated metal decking and no ceiling, which is not how modern commercial metal roofs are constructed. Your building occupants will not notice any difference in noise levels compared to other roofing materials. We design every installation with sound attenuation in mind to ensure occupant comfort.
