Our Steel Roofing Installation Process

1. Initial Consultation: We assess your structure, discuss your needs, and help you understand the benefits of steel roofing. We review color options and answer questions about the installation process and timeline.
2. Proposal & Agreement: We provide a detailed estimate covering all materials and labor. Once approved, we order your custom-fabricated panels and schedule installation.
3. Preparation: We protect your property and prep the work area. For Horizon-Loc panels, we ensure solid decking is in place as required.
4. Removal (if needed): Old roofing materials are carefully removed and properly disposed of according to local regulations.
5. Deck Inspection & Repair: We inspect the roof deck thoroughly and make any necessary repairs to ensure a solid, flat substrate. Steel roofing requires solid decking for proper installation.
6. Underlayment Installation: Ice and water shield is installed at eaves for superior leak protection, followed by synthetic felt underlayment over the remaining roof deck for added moisture protection.
7. Panel Installation: Horizon-Loc panels are installed according to manufacturer specifications. The concealed fastener system snaps together securely without hand-seaming.
8. Trim & Flashing: Custom-fabricated trim pieces and flashing are installed at eaves, rakes, ridges, and penetrations to provide weathertight protection.
9. Final Inspection & Cleanup: We thoroughly clean up all debris and conduct a complete inspection to ensure quality installation.
10. Walkthrough: We review the completed project with you, provide care instructions, and answer any questions about your new steel roof.
