Ascension installs both standing-seam and exposed-fastener metal roofs. Joshua helps you compare the options for your building, existing roof, project goals, and budget.

The panel profile and attachment approach are only part of the decision. The building, roof geometry, details, site exposure, goals, and budget all shape Joshua's recommendation.
Choosing a metal roof
The main difference is how the panels attach. Standing-seam systems conceal the fasteners; exposed-fastener systems use screws through the panel face. That difference affects appearance, installation cost, and the maintenance details to discuss.
Before the estimate
Raised panel seams conceal the attachment points. Depending on the system, clips or a fastening flange allow the panels to move as temperatures change. Standing seam generally has a higher installation cost than exposed-fastener roofing.
Visible screws pass through the panels, with washers sealing those attachment points. Installation is generally less costly. Fasteners and their seals are part of the roof's upkeep, so ask about maintenance for the proposed system.
Metal roofing / Before the estimate
Panel choice is one part of the job. Review the proposed underlayment, flashing around edges and openings, and transitions between roof surfaces. Joshua's recommendation also considers the existing roof, site exposure, and project goals.
A record you can follow
Ascension brings the condition, recommendation, work, and final check together so homeowners can follow the reasoning behind the roof.

The recommendation is tied to what was found, with the reasoning explained in plain language.

Common questions
Yes. Ascension installs both systems. Share the building location, existing roof, and project goals so Joshua can discuss which option fits.
The recommendation depends on the property and your goals. Joshua considers the building, roof geometry, existing conditions, site exposure, and budget before discussing a system. A general comparison cannot replace an estimate for the roof you have.
Ascension considers the complete assembly, including panel profile, attachment, underlayment, flashing, penetrations, transitions, edges, valleys, and snow movement. These details all shape the recommendation.
Metal Roofing
Tell Ascension about the building, the existing roof, and what is drawing you to metal.
