Metal roof types you will see in Raleigh
“Metal roof” covers a few very different systems. This is how they compare.
| Type | How it works | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Standing seam | Panels lock together at raised seams; clips or fasteners are hidden under the seam | Whole-house roofs, low-slope sections, porches; the clean look most people mean by “metal roof” |
| Exposed-fastener panels | Panels are screwed through the face; rubber washers seal each screw | Porches, sheds, carports, barns and outbuildings |
| Metal shingles and shakes | Stamped metal shaped to look like shingles, shake or slate | Homes where the owner or HOA wants a traditional look |
| Metal accent roofs | Small standing seam sections over a porch, bay window or dormer | Pairing with an asphalt shingle main roof |

Metal or shingles for a Raleigh home?
Metal is not the right answer for every roof, and we will say so. Things that usually point toward metal: you plan to stay in the home a long time, the roof has low-slope sections that shingles handle poorly, you want a standing seam porch or accent roof, or you simply want the look. Things that point toward shingles: a tighter budget, a complicated roof with many valleys and penetrations, or HOA or historic district rules that limit materials.
If shingles are the better fit, we are an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, and qualifying shingle replacements can carry the Owens Corning Platinum warranty, with 25 years of non-prorated coverage. See roof replacement in Raleigh, NC or repair or replace in Raleigh.
Raleigh weather and metal roofs
Triangle summers bring strong thunderstorms with wind-driven rain, and tropical systems can push heavy rain and gusty wind inland. On a metal roof, the details that matter most in that weather are the trim, the flashing at walls and chimneys, and how the panels are fastened at the edges and ridge.
Hail is part of the picture too. NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center (SPC) database lists 73 hail reports within 5 miles (8 km) of downtown Raleigh from 1955 to 2024, 41 of them for hail 1 inch or larger (SPC severe weather database). Metal can dent from large hail or falling limbs; whether a dent matters depends on whether it lets water in. Heat matters as well: metal expands and contracts every day, which is why fastening and clip details matter so much.
Raleigh’s hardwoods and pines also drop leaves, needles and limbs that collect behind chimneys and in valleys. More on storms: storm damage roof repair in Raleigh, hail damage and wind damage roof repair.
Metal roof repair in Raleigh
Many metal roof leaks are small, fixable details, not a reason to replace the whole roof.
| Problem | What you might notice | Typical repair |
|---|---|---|
| Backed-out screws or worn washers | Drips or rust streaks at screw lines on exposed-fastener panels | Replace or reseat fasteners with new sealing washers |
| Failed sealant at vents and pipes | Stain on the ceiling below a plumbing vent or fan | Reseal or replace the pipe flashing |
| Wall, chimney or skylight flashing | Leak where the roof meets a wall, chimney or skylight | Rework or replace the flashing and trim |
| Loose ridge, eave or rake trim | Rattling in wind, trim visibly lifted | Refasten or replace the trim and closures |
| Hail or limb damage | Dents, creases or punctured panels | Document for insurance, then repair or replace the affected panels |

Historic districts and HOAs
Raleigh’s local historic districts, such as Oakwood, Boylan Heights and Glenwood-Brooklyn, can require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Raleigh Historic Development Commission for some roof material or color changes. Many newer neighborhoods have HOA rules on roof materials and colors. A standing seam porch roof on a historic house, or a metal roof in an HOA, is often possible, but check first. See HOA roofing in Raleigh.

Absolutely a great experience. These guys not only went to bat for us when it came to a very lengthy and difficult insurance process but also did an amazing job putting in a top tier metal roof. Everyone from team lead to partners and installers were extremely professional with excellent customer service and care. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about replacing or upgrading their roof.
Really great service and thorough attention to detail, super easy to work with Kellen. helped me with replacing rotten fascia boards and wrapping them in metal, went above and beyond with fixing minor stuffs with sidings and removing a some clutter on top floor which was not reachable without tall ladder and wrapping extra part of fascia that is not part main of roof.
Frequently asked questions
Who installs metal roofs in Raleigh, NC?
Roof Revivers installs and repairs metal roofs across Raleigh and the Triangle from our office at 1117 Corporation Pkwy Suite 106, Raleigh, NC 27610.

Do you repair metal roofs, or only install them?
Both. Common metal roof repairs are loose or backed-out fasteners and worn washers on exposed-fastener panels, failed sealant at vents and pipes, flashing problems where the roof meets a wall or chimney, damaged ridge or edge trim, and dents or punctures from hail or limbs. If a repair will solve it, we recommend the repair.
What is the difference between standing seam and exposed-fastener metal roofing?
Standing seam panels lock together at raised seams and are held down with hidden clips or fasteners, so no screws pass through the face of the panel. Exposed-fastener panels are screwed through the face, and the rubber washers on those screws age and need attention over time. Standing seam costs more; exposed-fastener panels are common on porches, sheds and outbuildings.
Can I put a metal roof on a house in a Raleigh historic district or HOA?
Sometimes. Exterior changes in a Raleigh local historic district, including some roof material or color changes, can require a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Raleigh Historic Development Commission, and many HOAs have their own rules on roof materials and colors. We can help you check before you commit.
Is a metal roof loud in the rain?
Installed over solid decking with underlayment, and with insulation in the attic, a metal roof is usually much quieter than people expect. Metal over open framing, like on a barn or carport, is louder.
What affects the cost of a metal roof in Raleigh?
The panel type (standing seam, exposed-fastener or metal shingles), roof size and pitch, how many valleys, chimneys, skylights and walls need flashing, whether old roofing has to be torn off, and the condition of the decking. You get a written estimate based on your actual roof, and flexible financing is available.
Will insurance pay for hail dents on a metal roof?
It depends on your policy. Some policies treat dents that do not let water in as cosmetic and exclude them. We document the damage with photos and will meet your adjuster on site, but your policy and your adjuster decide what is covered; we do not promise a claim outcome.
