Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Concealed fasteners, raised interlocking seams. The system I trust most on a house — if the seam is mechanically locked, not snapped.
Metal roofing. Indiana · Ohio · Michigan.
A metal roof is a one-time decision. Here is how to make it well.
I'm Travis Sliger. Since 2016 my company has done one thing: install metal roofs on homes across Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. This site explains how the systems work, where they fail, and who they are not for — so you can decide with the full picture, whether or not you call us.

The systems we install
No roofing system is universally good or bad. Each page explains what the system is, what it does well, where it commonly fails, and who it fits.
Interlocking Metal Shingle Roofing
Painted steel shingles that lock on all four sides. Slate or shake looks with metal performance — and fewer installers who do it right.
Stone-Coated Steel Roofing
Steel panels with a stone-granule finish that look like asphalt, shake or tile. Popular for the familiar look; I am careful where I recommend them.
Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing
Screw-down panels — the lowest-cost metal roof. Proven, simple, and it asks for maintenance every year. Not below 4/12 on our jobs.
Paint Systems & Coil Coatings
The paint on the steel is a system in its own right. PVDF versus SMP, what fades, what chalks, and why the finish decides how the roof looks in year 20.
How we explain every system
The same order, every time: what the system is, what it does well, where it commonly fails, who it fits, and who it does not. No system is universally good or bad. Exposed-fastener panels are a fair trade for some homes and a bad one for others; a mechanically seamed standing seam roof costs more and asks far less of you later. The system pages walk through each one. The guides go deeper.
Roofs we have finished
Phone photos from real jobs, not renderings. Color and texture always read differently on a screen than on an actual roof.
What we will tell you on the first call
Whether metal makes sense for your house at all. What the pitch and the details allow. Roughly what drives the price up or down — before anyone drives out. We do not take standalone repair work; if the leak is one bad detail on an otherwise sound roof, we will say so and point you to a repair contractor. If the roof is an aging screw-down system losing washers across the whole field, or asphalt at the end of its life, that is a replacement conversation and we can have it.
Who we are built for
Homeowners who think in decades, who have watched neighbors re-roof twice, and who want to make this decision once. The roofs we install cost more up front than asphalt and more than screw-down metal. If the goal is the lowest number that passes an inspection, we are probably not the right fit — and we would rather say that here than waste your afternoon.
Manufacturers behind the roofs
The panels, shingles and paint systems we install come from these companies. Their warranties, colors and documents are on each page.

The metal roof systems sold for houses, compared honestly
Exposed fastener, snap-lock, mechanically seamed standing seam, interlocking shingles and stone-coated steel — what each is, where it fails, who it fits.
Step by step
How to evaluate a metal roofing quote
A step-by-step way to compare metal roofing quotes on system, gauge, coating, certification, warranty and scope — so price is the last thing you look at.
Guide
How to choose a metal roofing contractor
What separates a metal roofing contractor worth hiring from one who is not — certification, insurance, what they ask, how they write the scope.
Step by step
What installation day looks like, honestly
The days a metal roof goes on — tear-off, deck repair, underlayment, panels formed on site, flashing, cleanup — and the noise and weather realities.
Guide
Why metal roofs leak, and how to find the source
Metal roofs rarely leak through the panel. Where they do — flashing, fasteners, valleys, boots, ice dams — how to trace it, and what a good fix looks like.

It was overall a very pleasant and stress-free experience from planning with Travis which was no-pressure and very helpful in making decisions to installation (Brock and installers were great to work with, too), and the house looks…
Love our new metal roof ! The whole process was very fast and easy. We were informed at every step of the process from start to finish. Our roof was completed in one day, and not a single piece of scrap left behind, could not tell that…
As a man who physically designed and built this home with his own two hands, I'm very particular about who I hire to do the repairs in my later years. This is the first company of three that I've hired since I became disabled and unable to…

When metal is not the right call
If the budget is built around the cheapest roof that will pass an inspection, if the plan is to sell in a couple of years, or if you want a roof you never have to look at again, metal is probably not the right fit — and we will tell you that on the phone. Here is how I think through it.
