If you're thinking about metal roofing for your La Motte home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Metal Roofing Consultation
Our estimator visits your property, measures the roof, and walks you through material options. You'll see color samples against your home's exterior. Budget comparison between standing seam and exposed fastener options provided.
Panel Ordering & Prep
Metal roof panels are custom-ordered to the exact lengths needed for your roof. Trim, flashing, and ridge cap pieces specified and fabricated for your specific roof geometry. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
Professional Metal Crew
Installation by our dedicated metal crew, not a shingle crew with a metal job on the side. These installers do metal roofing every week. Seams are tight, transitions are clean, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Inspection & Warranty
Final inspection, cleanup, and warranty registration. Your metal roof is the last roof your La Motte home will ever need. We stand behind it with both manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
