Pitch decides the panel
Not every metal profile belongs on a low slope. We follow the manufacturer’s minimum pitch instead of forcing a pretty seam onto a flat porch.

Metal Roofing
Metal roofing sheds King County rain instead of holding it. We install standing seam and screw-down panels on homes that can take the look — and on low-slope sections where shingles do not belong. The noisy-roof worry is usually an unlined panel over an open porch. On a house we solid-deck it, underlay it, and clip or fasten it the way the manufacturer draws.
Included in this scope
- Standing seam or exposed-fastener panels, specified for the pitch
- Solid deck and high-temp underlayment
- Concealed clips or aligned fasteners, with oil-canning discussed up front
- Flashed walls, chimneys and skylights in the same metal language
- A color run that can match wall panels if those are in the same project
Details that change the result
Snow and fir needles
Metal slides debris. We plan where that debris lands — gutters, a lower roof, a walkway — before the first panel goes on.
HOA and the street
A standing seam roof is a visible choice. We submit the color and profile where an architectural committee has to sign.

Questions
Before you call
Is a metal roof louder?
Over a decked, insulated house, rain is a low hush, not a drum. Over an open patio cover it is louder, and we will tell you which one you are buying.
Can metal go over shingles?
We prefer a tear-off. Covering shingles traps heat and hides a bad deck. If a manufacturer allows a recover, we still want to see the deck first.
Will it rust?
Coated steel and aluminum panels are made for this. Bare mill finish is a different product. We spec a coated system and leave you the warranty sheet.
