BETTER ROOFS

IN-HOUSE FABRICATION

From design to fabrication, Prime Roofing manages every stage of creating your new roof in-house. We roll-form standing seam panels on-site and fabricate custom trim, flashings, and accessories in our sheet metal shop, ensuring a precise fit and exceptional craftsmanship.

THICKER METAL

We install a minimum of 24-gauge metal on all of our standing seam roofing systems for greater strength, durability, and a more refined finished appearance. Compared to thinner 26-gauge metal, it produces straighter roof lines and flatter details.

TWICE THE PROTECTION

Before installing the metal roof, we cover the entire roof deck with a premium self-adhered waterproofing membrane designed specifically for metal roofing. This creates a durable secondary weather barrier beneath the finished roof for added protection.
