Metal roofing has moved well past the corrugated barn look. Today's standing seam panels come in 40+ colors with Kynar PVDF finishes that hold their color for decades. Our Gays metal crew installs standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle profiles for homes and businesses.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Design & Material Selection
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Gays home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Custom Panel Fabrication
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.
Precision Installation
Standing seam panels installed with Z-clips on solid substrate or battens. Each panel locked into the adjacent panel with a mechanical seamer. No exposed fasteners, no maintenance points. Trim and flashing hand-formed for a custom fit.
Warranty & Completion
Every seam, fastener, and flashing point inspected. Your manufacturer warranty registered on completion day: 40-year paint finish, 25-year weathertight system warranty. Written workmanship warranty from Gays Roofing & Maintenance.

Why Choose Gays Roofing & Maintenance for Metal Roofing?
40-60 Year Lifespan
Standing seam metal is the longest-lasting residential roofing material. Install it once and never replace it again. The math works out better than replacing shingles twice.
Class 4 Impact Resistance
UL 2218 Class 4 rated. Handles the largest hail without compromising the waterproof system. Often qualifies for insurance premium discounts in IL.
Energy Savings
Reflective metal reduces cooling costs 15-25%. In IL heat, that adds up fast. Metal pays for itself over its lifetime in energy savings alone.
Class A Fire Rating
Metal roofing is non-combustible with a Class A fire rating. Added safety for homes in fire-prone areas or those seeking lower insurance premiums.
About Our Gays Metal Roofing Services
Metal roofing handles extreme weather better than any other residential material. Class 4 impact resistance per UL 2218, meaning it withstands the largest hail without damage, often qualifying for insurance premium discounts. Class A fire rating per UL 790. Wind uplift rated to 140+ mph per ASTM E1592.
Metal roofing works on pitches as low as 3:12 for standing seam. Steeper pitches look incredible in metal and shed water faster. For low-slope applications, we use specific underlayment and sealant details to ensure watertight performance. We help you select the right panel profile for your roof geometry.
