Ridge and soffit ventilation added during a replacement often does more for the roof's service life than upgrading the shingle line. Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision.
What it costs in Davidson: 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.
