Standing Seam Metal Roof
A standing seam metal roof uses vertical metal panels joined by raised seams (ribs) that interlock to create a watertight connection without exposed fasteners.
Standing seam metal roofs last 40-60 years and withstand winds up to 140 mph — ideal for DFW storm conditions. The hidden fastener design eliminates the leak points that plague exposed-fastener metal panels. Standing seam panels are typically 24-gauge steel or .032 aluminum with Kynar 500 PVDF finishes that resist fading for 30+ years. JRH Construction installs standing seam metal from manufacturers including McElroy Metal, Englert, and ATAS on both residential estates and commercial buildings across DFW.
