Why Valparaiso homeowners go metal
We have finished 17 roofs in Valparaiso since 2009, and 11 of them in the last four years alone. Most people who call us here are replacing a roof for the second or third time and have decided they are done doing it. The colors that go on most often around Valparaiso are Radiant Red, Black and Charcoal.
Most of what we install in Valparaiso is concealed fastener or standing seam, only 24 out of 100 exposed. That is a residential town for us, and people here tend to buy the roof they want rather than the roof that costs least.
Freeze thaw is what shortens a roof in Valparaiso. Asphalt shingles lose granules every cycle and the south face always goes first. Steel does not shed anything, so the roof you put on is the roof you have in thirty years.
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.

Masterlok Lifetime 100
Our most popular low-profile standing seam panel. Fasteners hide under the seam so nothing penetrates the weather surface. Available with or without striations.

Inch and a half seam. Taller profile, stronger shadow line, same concealed fastener system as the 100.
