Metal Roof Installation for Custer's Climate
Metal is already the roof of choice on Custer's barns and shops — the question is why the house still has shingles. Tree-lined lots grow moss on asphalt fast enough to halve its service life, and wind crossing open fields works on every fastener and seam. Residential metal answers both with a smooth surface moss can't root in and concealed-fastener systems rated far beyond what the flats deliver — and it lets the house, shop, and barn finally match.
The install is where a 50-year roof is won or lost: underlayment lapped for wind-driven rain, valleys and penetrations flashed in matching metal, and panels allowed to expand and contract through Custer's freeze-thaw swings without stressing a single fastener.
We're an exterior contractor first — when the roof and siding are planned together, the wall-to-roof flashing details integrate instead of colliding, and one crew owns the whole envelope. To be direct about scope: we install metal roofing and architectural asphalt shingles — GAF is the line we're asked for most — so the roof-to-wall details get built by one contractor.
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
The premium system: vertical panels with concealed fasteners locked at raised seams, so no screw head ever faces the weather. On Custer homes it's the configuration we recommend for full replacements — clean modern lines on view homes, maximum wind resistance on exposed lots, and nothing for water to find as the roof ages.
Exposed-fastener panels remain an honest budget option for outbuildings and low-visibility roofs — we quote both and tell you where each belongs.
Metal Roof Over Shingles?
Sometimes, honestly, yes. Code allows metal over a single existing shingle layer when the deck underneath is sound, and it saves tear-off cost and landfill weight. The catch is the word sound — over moss-damaged shingles hiding soft decking, an overlay locks the problem in.
We probe the deck at your estimate and quote overlay and tear-off as separate line items where overlay is viable — the decision is yours, made with the facts on the table.
