Deck and underlayment
The support and specified underlayment need to suit the selected system. Unsound wood must be dealt with before covering it.

Metal Roofing Starts With the Roof Shape
A metal roof is a designed panel system, not simply a different surface on the same details. Panel profile, slope, attachment, underlayment and transitions need to work together. Roof openings and edges need system-specific flashing.
The scope starts with the existing deck and covering, then considers how the selected panels attach and accommodate movement. Removal, damaged wood, unusual geometry and equipment or wall connections change the project.
Standing Seam and Exposed Fasteners
Neither attachment description by itself settles the right product for the roof.

Attachment distinction
What to plan
Standing seam
Panels typically conceal the primary attachment beneath raised seams or clips.
The chosen clip or attachment design, movement allowance, seams and flashing details.
Exposed-fastener panels
Fasteners pass through the panel and remain exposed at the surface.
Product-specific fasteners, washers, movement and inspection or upkeep of those penetrations.
A roof with many transitions
Both systems need tailored work at valleys, walls and openings.
Panel layout, compatible trims and the labor required to integrate each joint.
Edges, Openings and Water Paths
Details determine whether the panel system continues to shed water where its field ends.
Movement and attachment
Metal expands and contracts. The system’s attachment and seam details need to account for movement rather than relying on an improvised fixed joint.
Penetrations and transitions
Pipes, walls, chimneys and low-slope tie-ins require compatible flashing. Maintenance follows the installed product and its actual connections, not a universal metal-roof calendar.
Metal Roofing FAQs
Does metal always cost less over time?
Initial scope, product, installation, maintenance and future conditions affect that comparison. This site’s architectural asphalt example does not price metal or establish a lifetime saving.
Can a metal roof be repaired?
Yes, where the system and condition permit compatible repair. Failed fasteners, seams, panels or flashing need the appropriate detail; a general surface sealant does not replace every repair.
Is metal immune to hail?
No. Impact behavior depends on the product, assembly and actual hail. Dents, functional damage and insurance terms are separate questions.
