Metal roofs aren’t just for barns and warehouses anymore. In fact, they’re one of the fastest-growing trends in residential roofing, and for good reason. With their sleek look, impressive durability, and energy-saving benefits, metal roofs are gaining popularity in homes across Indianapolis, IN. At Watergate Roofing, we’re here to guide you through exactly what to expect when upgrading to a metal roof, ensuring there are no surprises and a smooth, efficient installation.
Before the first panel goes on, there’s prep work involved. Our team begins by assessing the structure and ensuring everything is sound. If your old roof needs to be removed, we’ll take care of that, too, quickly and cleanly. In some cases, we can even install metal roofing over existing shingles, depending on local codes and your home’s condition.
Metal roofing comes in large panels or interlocking shingles, depending on the style you choose. Our team carefully measures and cuts panels to fit your roof’s exact dimensions. Then comes the installation: panels are attached securely with screws and sealed for weather resistance. You may hear some hammering and drilling, but our crews work efficiently and minimize disruptions.
Most metal roof installations for average-sized homes typically take two to three days, depending on the weather conditions. We closely monitor the forecast because the safety and quality of our team's work are our top priorities. Rain delays aren’t common, but if they happen, we’ll keep you informed and on track.
Once the final panel is in place, we do a complete cleanup and final inspection. You’ll get peace of mind knowing your new roof is backed by our workmanship warranty and built to last. We’ll also review the maintenance needs of your new roof. Spoiler alert: there aren’t many! So, we help you prepare for what's to come and what to expect.
A metal roof installation with Watergate Roofing is more than just a home improvement; it’s an investment in long-term peace of mind. From the first shingle to the final screw, we make sure every detail is handled with care. Plus, we offer commercial roof restoration, commercial roof replacement, and even work as a trusted vinyl siding contractor for both homeowners and businesses.
