Steel Roofs

Steel roofs are a widely chosen option due to their strength and affordability. We use galvanized or galvalume steel to resist rust and corrosion, which is critical in areas with high moisture or varying weather.



Steel roofs are lightweight yet can withstand heavy impacts, including hail or falling debris. They also support coatings that improve energy efficiency by reflecting sunlight, which can reduce cooling costs.

Steel roofing requires minimal maintenance, and its long lifespan makes it a practical choice for commercial buildings. We recommend steel when durability and budget are key considerations.

Aluminum Roofing

Aluminum roofing excels in corrosion resistance, making it ideal for buildings near coastal environments where salt exposure is common. It is lighter than steel, which eases installation and structural load.



We use aluminum panels that provide strong wind resistance and perform well in extreme temperatures. Aluminum does not rust, which ensures a long-lasting, low-maintenance roof system.

While aluminum costs more than steel, it offers superior longevity in corrosive climates and is fully recyclable, aligning with sustainable construction goals.

Copper Roofing

Copper roofing is distinguished by its aesthetic appeal and natural resistance to corrosion. We install copper roofs that develop a durable, attractive patina over time, which adds character and helps protect the metal beneath.



Copper is highly durable, often lasting over 50 years, with minimal maintenance required. It is also lightweight and easy to shape for complex architectural designs, enhancing building aesthetics.

Though the initial cost is higher, copper roofing is an investment in long-term performance and style, often chosen for high-profile commercial properties seeking a distinctive look.

Tin Roofs

Tin roofs, traditionally made from steel coated with tin, offer an economical metal roofing solution. We install modern tin roofs that benefit from contemporary manufacturing improvements for better corrosion resistance.



Tin roofs are fairly lightweight and provide solid protection against weather elements. They are typically easier to repair but may require more frequent maintenance compared to other metals.

Tin is suitable for projects prioritizing cost-effectiveness without sacrificing the basic benefits of metal roofing. It remains a practical choice for less demanding commercial roofing applications.

Durability and Longevity

We understand that commercial roofing must stand the test of time with minimal upkeep. Metal roofing typically lasts between 25 and 60 years, significantly outpacing traditional roofing materials that may require replacement every 15 to 20 years.



The materials we use—such as galvanized steel or Galvalume®—provide strong corrosion resistance suited for various environments. The lightweight nature of metal roofing, only 50 to 150 lbs per square, reduces strain on building structures compared to concrete or tile options.

Energy Efficiency

Metal roofs contribute to greater energy efficiency through their design and material properties. Reflective coatings, like PVDF or cool roof finishes, can reflect up to 70% of solar radiation, significantly reducing cooling costs, especially in large commercial spaces.



Above Sheathing Ventilation (ASV) incorporated in metal roofing creates an air gap, improving insulation and enhancing thermal performance. This results in lower peak cooling demands and reduced energy consumption.

Weather Resistance

Our metal roofing solutions are engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions common to the Joliet, IL area. Metal roofs can resist wind speeds up to 140 mph and offer Class 4 impact ratings against hail, the highest available.



The materials we install are non-combustible and meet Class A fire resistance ratings, providing critical safety benefits. Additionally, proper installation with specialized flashing, sealants, and underlayment prevents leaks even on flat or low-slope commercial roofs.
