If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Dorsey home, here's the math: metal costs more upfront ($12-$22 per square foot versus $4-$8 for shingles), but metal lasts 2-3 times longer, cuts cooling costs 15-25%, and has virtually no maintenance. Over a 50-year span, metal is the cheaper option.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Metal Roofing Consultation
Free on-site consultation. We measure, assess your roof geometry, and present panel options with realistic pricing. Standing seam, corrugated, and metal shingle profiles. You pick the system that fits your home and budget.
Material Preparation
Panels ordered in your selected color, gauge, and profile. Custom lengths cut to minimize waste and on-site seaming. Trim pieces, flashing components, and underlayment specified for your roof.
Professional Metal Crew
Installation by our dedicated metal crew, not a shingle crew with a metal job on the side. These installers do metal roofing every week. Seams are tight, transitions are clean, and every penetration is properly flashed.
Final Walkthrough
Every seam, fastener, and flashing point inspected. Your manufacturer warranty registered on completion day: 40-year paint finish, 25-year weathertight system warranty. Written workmanship warranty from Dorsey Roofing & Maintenance.

About Our Dorsey Metal Roofing Services
We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer coating is the gold standard. It resists fading, chalking, and color shift for 40+ years. Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal are our primary suppliers, both with proven track records.
Metal roofing works on pitches as low as 3:12 for standing seam. Steeper pitches look incredible in metal and shed water faster. For low-slope applications, we use specific underlayment and sealant details to ensure watertight performance. We help you select the right panel profile for your roof geometry.
