Standing seam, 5V, stone-coated. Most people searching this want to compare metal against shingle or tile with real numbers for their house — that's what you'll get, in writing, from a licensed, insured Georgia roofing contractor from our vetted network.
Get a written quoteexpect roughly two to three times the cost of architectural shingle for standing seam; exposed-fastener panels sit in between; the offset is a service life measured in decades and, in Florida, meaningful wind-mitigation credits.
Georgia doesn't issue a roofing-specific license — most roofing falls under the state's Residential-Basic or General Contractor license once a job crosses the state's licensing threshold. We check that license, insurance, and standing with the state board before a roofer ever sees a lead. Storm season runs March through June for hail across North Georgia, with tropical remnants reaching the coast and southeast counties June through November.
How it works
Standing seam hides fasteners under the seam, so nothing penetrates the panel — that's why it carries the best wind ratings and longest warranties. Exposed-fastener (5V, R-panel) costs less and looks right on ranch and rural homes, but the screw gaskets need attention after 10–15 years.
Over a solid deck with underlayment, no louder than shingle. The tin-roof-in-a-storm sound comes from open-purlin barns with no decking.
Better than shingle for punctures; it can dent cosmetically in large hail. Some Texas carriers exclude cosmetic damage on metal — check the policy before you switch.
