Mabrey Roofing installs standing-seam metal roofs across Durham, Raleigh, and the Triangle, and on metal the install is the whole game, because a metal roof done wrong leaks worse than any shingle. Done right, it is the longest-lasting roof most homeowners will ever own: it shrugs off wind, sheds water and debris, and routinely lasts 40 to 70 years where a shingle roof lasts 20. It costs more up front and it is worth it for the right home and the right owner.

Metal roofing is the right call for Triangle homeowners who plan to stay put and want to roof once instead of every 20 years. The version worth paying for is standing seam with concealed fasteners, where no screw heads sit exposed to the weather to back out and leak over time.

It costs more up front than shingle, but because it commonly outlasts two or three shingle roofs, many long-term owners spend less per year of coverage. For a shorter hold, premium architectural shingles often pencil out better. We help you run that math honestly before you commit.
Metal is unforgiving of guesswork. We measure precisely and detail every flashing and trim before fabrication.
Panels and trim are cut to your roofline so the seams and edges fit clean and stay watertight.
We install with concealed fasteners and proper underlayment so the system performs for its full multi-decade life.

A properly installed standing-seam metal roof commonly lasts 40 to 70 years, two to three times the life of an asphalt shingle roof. It is the closest thing to a permanent roof for most homes.
For homeowners staying long term, metal often costs less over its lifespan because you roof once instead of two or three times. For a shorter hold, premium architectural shingles may make more sense. We help you run that math honestly.
Not when installed over solid decking and proper underlayment, which is how we install it. A modern residential metal roof is no louder inside than a shingle roof.
