Metal Roofing

Metal roofing is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Conrad Roofing provides expert installation of multiple systems tailored for function, aesthetics, and longevity. It’s our nearly 80 years of crafting metal roofs that gives Conrad the confidence to offer the right system for your needs.

Standing seam metal roofing

Highly durable and low maintenance, standing seam systems feature vertically running panels with concealed fasteners for a sleek, modern appearance. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications, standing seam roofs are prized for their watertight integrity and clean lines.

Flat seam metal roofing

Perfect for complex rooflines and historic preservation projects, flat seam roofing involves overlapping flat metal panels. This traditional technique is commonly used on domes, towers, and bay roofs, and is often found on historic buildings.

Stone-coated steel roofing

This roofing combines the strength of galvanized steel with the visual appeal of traditional shingles, tile, or shake. Stone-coated steel offers superior impact resistance and weather performance while blending into neighborhoods where aesthetic conformity is key.

Metal shingles

Metal shingles offer the look of wood, slate, or asphalt shingles with the strength and longevity of metal. They are a popular choice among homeowners seeking a traditional look without sacrificing durability.

Corrugated metal roofing

Known for its wavy, ridged pattern, corrugated metal is often chosen for agricultural, industrial, and minimalist modern home designs. It provides excellent drainage and structural support at a competitive price.

Copper roofing

Copper is the premium choice for heritage buildings, churches, and high-end residential properties. Over time, copper develops a natural patina that adds character and prestige while offering unmatched longevity.
