Metal roofs have distinct advantages over other roofing materials. They are durable, lightweight, easy to install, and fireproof. With a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from, we can achieve virtually any look you want for your home or commercial building.
Many low-slope commercial metal roofs are made from corrugated galvanized steel. Copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and tin can also be used. Though the initial investment is much higher than other commercial roof solutions, their durability makes up for it in the long run.
Royal Roofing & Solar in Central Missouri has the knowledge and experience with all different types of metal roofing: aluminum, copper, steel, corrugated metal, and standing seam. We would love to help you go over the pros and cons of each and see which one will best fit your needs. While a metal roof may be more of an investment at first, you will soon see that the benefits make it a worthy investment.
Aluminum roofing is the durable value option among metal roofs. What it lacks in style it makes up for in fire, wind, and impact resistance. Aluminum is lightweight and durable, with most shingles having seven layers of paint and primer. Add on to that their environmentally friendly material and structure, and it is easy to recycle them when the time comes to replace them. It is easy to see why aluminum is an excellent material for metal roofs.
Regardless of how long you have had one, the beauty of a copper roof is unparalleled. Whether it’s brand new and shiny or sporting the distinctive green that aged copper, copper roofing on its own can raise the value of your property substantially and will last for life.
Corrugated metal is a cost-effective choice since it’s prefabricated. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, durable, and easily transported. Corrugated metal directs water off of your roof making it an excellent solution for your building.
In many regards, steel is among the finest materials possible for your roof. Steel roofing lasts considerably longer than aluminum, zinc, or copper, upwards of 40 to 60 years, with proper care against oxidation. That said, beware of the possibility of corrosion should you live near the coast or anywhere with extra moisture.

Standing seam metal roofing comes in a variety of seam types: snap-lock, mechanical lock, and batten panel. Each one interlocks differently, and they provide different types of protection. Depending on your climate, you can choose a specific seam type to protect your building. Standing-seam metal roofs offer a wide range of colors, lengths, widths, thicknesses, and seam types.
Although conventional shingles absorb much of the sun’s heat, metal roofing reflects much of the sun’s heat and energy. Modern metal roof panels have a coating that incorporates special pigments that reflect the sun’s energy and release heat that is absorbed throughout the day, reducing cooling energy costs by as much as 20%.
It’s a common myth that rain is noisier on metal roofs. On a residential home, layers of building materials like the roof deck, insulation, and drywall between the metal roof and the living area reduce the sound of rain. As a result of this, rain noise from a metal roof is often comparable to that of conventional shingles.
You may be surprised to find that metal roofs can be quite impact-resistance. Studies conducted by the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) have found that one benefit of metal roofing is that it is far less likely to be punctured by hail than conventional asphalt shingles. It surely is one of the stronger roofing materials available.
The average cost of a metal roof will depend on the size and slope of your roof and the type of metal you choose to install. Our roofing specialists will be happy to go over the different options with you and find the right match for your home.
While aluminum is growing in popularity across the country, our team of experts will help you to review all the potential options and choose the best metal for your roof. Call today to set up a free consultation.
With metal roofs, there are a few things to consider. Metal roofs have a high upfront cost, but you will likely recoup your investment long-term because you won’t be replacing your roof as frequently. Color matching can also be difficult in the long term, but your roofer can help you find a close match.

Chris Middleton2023-05-03My City requires a solar inspection of my unit every year. When my solar company (Power home solar/Pink Enerdy) went out of business they could not perform the inspection. I called Royal and talked to Drew Cook. Drew was not only awesome on the phone, he went above and beyond for me. He had a team out to my house within a day and they completed the inspection and sent the paperwork to the city. I wish I would have hired them to do my solar instead of my terrible company.
Pamela Taney2023-04-20Gerry has been Amazing to work with during the process of a new roof and hopefully soon new gutters and interior work. He was great dealing with our insurance company and followed up on the installation of our roof. Would highly recommend this company
Aj Dimas2023-03-15We didn’t end up making a claim, damage wasn’t as bad as we thought. Inspector was very polite and courteous would highly recommend them.

Alexzandra Horton2023-03-08We got solar panels installed by Royal! They are amazing! The sales rep Mike Dale was great! He explained everything and made it so easy for us to understand and plan everything out! The crew that they have installing was amazing and made sure everything was nice and cleaned up afterwards. If you wanna go solar or are thinking about going solar. Definitely go with Royal!
Cody Newman2023-03-06Mike Dale with Royal Solar and Roofing was fantastic to work with. Mike and his team did the research forst to ensure that solar was a good fit with my location and set up. He was able to get me an accurate quote, walk me through step by step the process of installation, the time the project would be completed and what the benefits of solar are now (month to month) and long term 5 -25 years all in person. He really took the time to educate the benefits of solar and why owning your own electricity is so important. Royal Solar and Roofing set me up with their app that allows me to monitor my solar production daily and easily track my electricity savings. I'm 3 months in to using my solar with no issues and Royal Solar and Roofing has checked in several times since completion to ensure everything is working properly. I couldn't be happier with the service and product from Royal Solar and Roofing.
