Standing Seam
Panels with raised seams and hidden fasteners, so no screws are exposed to the weather. A clean, modern look, and often installable over one existing layer of shingles when the roof is in good shape.

The Long-Term Investment
Why Metal Roofing Stands Apart
A metal roof costs more up front than shingles, about 30 percent more on the same house, and lasts 40 to 70 years, roughly twice as long. For homeowners who plan to stay, that usually makes it the last roof they'll buy.
At L.A. Roofing, we install high-quality metal roofs engineered to withstand Indiana's toughest weather, from heavy snow loads to summer storms. Whether you're building new or replacing an aging roof, metal roofing delivers performance that pays off for decades.
Is Metal Roofing Right for You?
Here's a look at what metal roofing offers:
-
Exceptional longevity: Metal roofs last 40 to 70 years, so for most homeowners it's the last roof they'll buy.
-
Low maintenance: No granules to wash away and no shingles to blow off. If a metal roof does get damaged, we repair those too.
-
Sheds snow: A smooth metal roof sheds snow instead of holding it. Snow guards over doors and walkways keep it from sliding where people walk.
-
Severe weather protection: Metal roofs are fire-resistant, wind-resistant, and built to handle the heavy snow, ice, and storms Indiana throws at them.
-
Style customization: With 20+ steel colors, gauges, and profiles available, metal complements any home, from traditional farmhouses to modern builds.
-
Pays off the longer you stay: Staying 20 years or more? A shingle roof would likely be replaced once in that time; a metal roof won't. Compare metal roof vs. shingles.

Metal Roofing Questions
How much more does a metal roof cost than shingles?
On the same house, a metal roof typically runs about 30 percent more than shingles. Standing seam costs more than exposed-fastener panels, and the size and pitch of the roof and what's on it now all move the number. We'll price it for your house in a free written estimate.
Can you install a metal roof over shingles?
Often, yes. We can install standing seam over one existing layer of shingles when the roof is in suitable condition. Two or more layers means a full tear-off, and we recommend tearing off anyway if the deck needs a closer look or repairs.
Are metal roofs loud when it rains?
Not on a house. A metal roof on a home goes over solid decking, underlayment, and an insulated attic, and with those in place it isn't much louder than a shingle roof in the rain.
Do I need snow guards?
We recommend them over doors, walkways, and anywhere sliding snow could land on people, gutters, or a lower roof. Snow guards are made for every style of metal roof.
What warranty comes with a metal roof?
The panels' paint finish carries a 40- or 50-year warranty, depending on the product you choose.
