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 North Carolina 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.
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. Storm season runs June 1 through November 30 on the coast, with the Piedmont and mountains seeing severe thunderstorm and occasional hail exposure spring through summer.
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.
