If you're thinking about metal roofing for your Elrod 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
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Elrod home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Custom Panel Fabrication
Metal roof panels are custom-ordered to the exact lengths needed for your roof. Trim, flashing, and ridge cap pieces specified and fabricated for your specific roof geometry. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
Professional Metal Crew
Our metal roofing crew installs panels from eave to ridge, securing with concealed clips that allow thermal movement. Every seam interlocked by hand. Flashing details custom-bent on-site for penetrations and transitions.
Inspection & Warranty
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 Elrod Roofing & Maintenance.

Why Choose Elrod Roofing & Maintenance for Metal Roofing?
Dedicated Metal Crew
Our metal roofing installers do metal work exclusively. They're not shingle crews handling an occasional metal job. Tight seams, clean transitions, and proper flashing, every time.

Reflective metal reduces cooling costs 15-25%. In AL heat, that adds up fast. Metal pays for itself over its lifetime in energy savings alone.
Class 4 Impact Resistance
UL 2218 Class 4 rated. Handles the largest hail without compromising the waterproof system. Often qualifies for insurance premium discounts in AL.
40+ Color Options
Matte black, charcoal, forest green, copper penny, barn red, custom colors, 40-year fade warranty on all Kynar finishes. Your home, your style.
About Our Elrod 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.
We do metal roof repairs too. Loose panels, failed sealant at transitions, rust spots on older galvanized systems, not every metal issue needs a full replacement. Our Elrod crew fixes metal roofs of all types. Same-day repairs on most issues.
