Why Sturgis homeowners go metal
4 finished roofs in Sturgis. A smaller town for us, which means the ones we have done are easy to find and easy to drive by. Most people who call us here are not shopping for a roof, they are replacing one for the second or third time and have decided they are done doing it. That is the honest reason metal wins in this part of Michiana. The colors that go on most often around Sturgis are Charcoal, Burgundy and Evergreen.
About 75 out of every 100 roofs we have done in Sturgis are exposed fastener, with the rest concealed. That is a normal split for a town with a mix of houses and outbuildings, and it means we have run both systems here enough to tell you which one your roof actually wants.
Lake effect is the thing that separates a Sturgis roof from one an hour inland. Wet snow that sits, then melts, then refreezes at the eave is what kills asphalt here, and it is exactly what a standing seam roof with no exposed fasteners does not care about.
We fabricate every panel at our shop on US 33 in Goshen, so panels come cut to your roof rather than to a stock length. Fewer seams, fewer places for water to think about getting in.

Same prices in Sturgis as anywhere else we work. Masterrib exposed fastener starts at $4.50 a square foot installed. Masterlok 100 standing seam is $5.49, the 150 is $6.19 and the 175 is $6.90. Pitch, tear off, number of existing layers, complexity and access move the number, and the whole thing goes in writing before anyone starts.
Nobody else in this trade publishes numbers. You should not have to sit through a sales call to find out the ballpark. See all four panel prices or check financing without it touching your credit.
