This is the Clayton page for metal roofing. The short version: you want to compare metal against shingle or tile with real numbers for their house, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteTrees are the inland roof's main enemy — limb impact and debris damming valleys cause more claims than wind alone. Ridge and soffit ventilation added during a replacement often does more for the roof's service life than upgrading the shingle line. Most homes here went up in the 2000s building boom, when production builders installed the least expensive shingle that met code.
What it costs in Clayton: expect 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.
North Carolina requires a general contractor license for any residential job over $40,000, and most full roof replacements clear that line. We verify a roofer's NC license and insurance before they're matched to any lead.
How it works
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.
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.

Clayton is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
