Metal Roofing in Kansas City, KS

A metal roof is a long-horizon decision. Where an architectural shingle roof in Kansas City gives you twenty to twenty-five years, a properly installed standing seam system routinely runs forty or more, sheds snow and ice instead of trapping it, and loses nothing to hail because it has no granules to lose.

1A Roofing installs both standing seam systems, where fasteners are concealed beneath the raised vertical seams, and exposed-fastener panel systems for outbuildings, shops and agricultural structures where budget leads the decision. Panels come in 24- and 26-gauge steel across a full range of finishes, from matte black and charcoal to barn red and classic galvalume.

What's Included

• Standing seam and exposed-fastener systems
• 24- and 26-gauge steel in a full color range
• Concealed-clip installation that allows thermal movement
• Metal accents, porches and low-slope sections

Metal is unforgiving of a sloppy installation, so the details are where we spend the time. Panels are set on concealed clips that let the metal expand and contract through Kansas temperature swings without oil-canning or backing fasteners out. Penetrations get purpose-built boots rather than sealant, and valleys, hips, ridges and rake edges are flashed with matched metal formed on site.

Metal is also worth considering for part of a home rather than all of it — a porch roof, a low-slope section over an addition, or an accent above a bay window where shingles have repeatedly failed. We will walk your roof, tell you honestly where metal pays for itself and where it does not, and quote both options side by side so you can see the real cost difference across the life of the roof.
