Common Metal Roofing Challenges

Is Your Metal Roof Showing Signs of Trouble?

Metal roofs are built to last, but even the most durable systems can develop issues over time. Property owners throughout Raleigh may notice loose panels after severe weather events, particularly following the strong winds and hail that occasionally sweep through the region. Rust spots can appear at fastener locations or panel seams, especially on older installations where protective coatings have worn thin. When left unaddressed, these seemingly minor concerns can escalate into significant problems that compromise your building's structural integrity.

Leaks represent another common concern with aging metal roofing systems. Water infiltration often begins at flashing points, ventilation penetrations, or where panels overlap. What starts as a small drip during heavy rainfall can quickly damage insulation, ceiling materials, and interior finishes. The humid climate in Wake County accelerates moisture-related deterioration once water breaches your roofing envelope. Unusual noises during storms, visible gaps between panels, or interior water stains all signal that your metal roof needs professional attention.

Temperature regulation issues can also indicate metal roofing problems. If you've noticed increased cooling costs during Raleigh's hot summers, your roof's reflective properties may have degraded, or inadequate ventilation could be causing heat buildup in your attic space. Metal roofs should help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption, so any departure from efficient performance warrants investigation by experienced metal roofing contractors who understand both the material characteristics and local climate conditions.

We encourage you to explore the feedback from customers who have trusted Raleigh Roofing with their roofing investments and discovered the difference that dedicated service and quality workmanship can make.

      Our experience with Raleigh Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Raleigh Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Raleigh Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Raleigh Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Raleigh Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Raleigh Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Raleigh Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Raleigh Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Raleigh Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Raleigh Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Raleigh Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Raleigh Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Raleigh Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Raleigh Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Raleigh Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Raleigh Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Raleigh Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Raleigh Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Raleigh Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Raleigh Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Raleigh Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Raleigh Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Raleigh Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Raleigh Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Raleigh Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Raleigh Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Raleigh Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Raleigh Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Raleigh Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Raleigh Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Raleigh Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Raleigh Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Raleigh Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Raleigh Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Raleigh Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Raleigh Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Raleigh Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Raleigh Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Metal Roofing FAQs

      Property owners considering metal roofing or facing issues with existing systems often have similar questions. We've compiled answers to the most common inquiries we receive from customers throughout Raleigh and the surrounding area. Our team is always available to address specific concerns about your property and provide detailed guidance tailored to your situation.

      Metal roofing systems are among the most durable roofing options available, with properly installed and maintained metal roofs often lasting several decades. The actual lifespan depends on several factors including the specific metal material used, the quality of installation, local weather conditions, and the level of maintenance the roof receives over its lifetime. Standing seam metal roofs with quality coatings generally outlast corrugated systems, though both offer impressive longevity compared to traditional roofing materials.

      Throughout the Raleigh area, metal roofs face challenges from intense summer heat, occasional severe storms, and the humidity that characterizes the region. Quality installations using premium materials handle these conditions well and continue performing reliably for many years. Regular inspections help identify minor issues before they compromise the system, further extending the functional life of your metal roof. Property owners who invest in metal roofing typically enjoy decades of dependable protection with minimal maintenance requirements.

      In some situations, metal roofing can be installed over certain existing roof types, potentially reducing project costs and installation time. However, this approach isn't appropriate for every property or every existing roof condition. The decision depends on factors including local building codes, the structural capacity of your building, the condition of the existing roof deck, and the type of roofing material currently in place.

      Before proceeding with an installation over existing materials, a thorough inspection is necessary to evaluate the roof deck's condition and identify any moisture damage, structural concerns, or other issues that would make this approach unsuitable. Many property owners find that removing the old roofing provides better long-term results, allowing for deck inspection and repairs, improved ventilation installation, and a clean foundation for the new metal system. Our team evaluates your specific situation and recommends the approach that best serves your property's needs and your long-term interests.

      This concern comes up frequently, but modern metal roofing systems actually help reduce cooling costs when properly installed with appropriate ventilation and reflective coatings. Metal roofs with factory-applied reflective finishes bounce solar radiation away from the building rather than absorbing it like darker traditional roofing materials. This reflective property, combined with the natural tendency of metal to release absorbed heat quickly once the sun moves, means metal roofs often contribute to more comfortable interior temperatures.

      Proper installation techniques matter significantly for thermal performance. Adequate attic ventilation allows heat that does enter the roof assembly to escape before it impacts interior spaces. Some metal roofing systems incorporate air gaps between the metal panels and the roof deck, creating an additional thermal break that further improves energy efficiency. Throughout Raleigh's warm summers, property owners with quality metal roofing installations typically notice reduced cooling demands compared to what they experienced with their previous roof. The key is selecting appropriate materials and ensuring the installation includes proper ventilation strategies.

      Metal roofing systems excel during severe weather, which is one reason they've become increasingly popular throughout areas prone to strong storms. Properly installed metal roofs resist wind uplift far better than many traditional roofing materials, with panels mechanically fastened or interlocked to create a continuous weather barrier. During high wind events, the secure attachment and interlocking panel designs help metal roofs remain intact when other roofing types might experience damage or loss.

      Hail resistance varies somewhat depending on the specific metal material and panel profile, but metal roofing generally withstands impact better than softer materials. While severe hail can dent metal panels, these cosmetic impacts rarely compromise the roof's protective function. Metal roofing also offers advantages during heavy rain events, with properly installed systems channeling water efficiently off the roof and away from the building. The non-porous nature of metal eliminates concerns about water absorption that affect some traditional roofing materials. For property owners in areas that experience varied and sometimes severe weather, metal roofing provides reliable protection across multiple challenging conditions.

      Metal roofing requires less ongoing maintenance than many traditional roofing materials, though some periodic attention helps ensure optimal long-term performance. Regular inspections, ideally conducted annually or after significant weather events, allow early identification of any issues before they escalate. During inspections, professionals check fasteners for tightness, examine sealants and flashings for deterioration, look for any panel damage or loose sections, and verify that drainage systems are functioning properly.

      Keeping the roof surface clear of debris contributes to longevity, particularly in areas near trees where leaves and branches might accumulate. Debris traps moisture against the metal surface and can accelerate corrosion in vulnerable spots. Periodic cleaning with appropriate methods removes accumulated dirt and organic material without damaging protective coatings. Any small issues discovered during inspections or cleanings, such as a loose fastener or a failing sealant bead, can typically be addressed quickly before they develop into more significant problems. This proactive approach, combined with the inherent durability of metal roofing materials, means property owners enjoy decades of reliable performance with minimal intervention.

      Metal roofing typically involves a higher initial investment compared to some traditional roofing materials, though the long-term value proposition often favors metal when you consider the complete picture. The upfront difference reflects the superior durability of metal materials, the specialized installation expertise required, and the extended lifespan these systems deliver. Property owners making decisions about roofing investments benefit from looking beyond immediate costs to consider long-term performance and total ownership expenses.

      Over the decades that a quality metal roof protects your property, the initial investment gets spread across many more years of service compared to roofing materials that require more frequent replacement. Metal roofs typically need fewer repairs over their lifespan, reducing ongoing maintenance expenses. Many property owners also realize energy savings from the reflective properties of metal roofing, which contributes to the overall value equation. Insurance considerations can factor into the financial analysis as well, with some insurers offering favorable rates for properties with impact-resistant and fire-resistant metal roofing systems. When evaluating roofing options, it's helpful to consider both immediate project costs and the long-term financial implications of your choice.
