Metal Roofing Solutions Built to Last
At M&A Contracting, we have spent 18 years perfecting every aspect of roofing installation, and metal roofing stands out as one of the most durable and cost-effective options we offer to homeowners and businesses throughout Buffalo, NY and surrounding areas. Metal roofing has experienced a remarkable surge in popularity over the past decade, with the metal roofing market growing at approximately 4% annually as more property owners recognize the long-term value these systems deliver. We bring our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction to every metal roofing project we take on, ensuring that your investment pays dividends for decades to come.
Unlike traditional asphalt shingles that may need replacement every 15 to 25 years, a properly installed metal roof can protect your home for 40 to 70 years depending on the material chosen. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, we hold ourselves to the highest industry standards and bring that same level of excellence to our metal roofing installations. The owner is on site at every job, personally overseeing the work to make sure every panel, fastener, and flashing meets our rigorous quality benchmarks.
Types of Metal Roofing We Install
Metal roofing is far more versatile than many homeowners realize. We work with a wide range of materials and profiles to match your aesthetic preferences, budget, and performance requirements. Standing seam metal roofing is among the most popular options, featuring raised interlocking seams that run vertically along the roof plane. This design creates a sleek, modern appearance while providing exceptional weather resistance because the fasteners are concealed beneath the seam, eliminating potential leak points.
We also install corrugated metal panels, metal shingles designed to replicate the look of slate or wood shake, and ribbed panel systems suited for agricultural and commercial buildings. Material options include galvanized steel, Galvalume steel, aluminum, copper, and zinc. Each material carries distinct advantages. Aluminum resists corrosion in coastal environments, while steel provides outstanding structural strength at a competitive price point. Copper develops a beautiful patina over time and can last well over a century with proper care. We help every customer in Amherst, Eggertsville, Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Williamsville, Kenmore, & Depew, NY and surrounding communities choose the right combination of material and style for their specific needs.
Our Installation Process
We approach every metal roofing project with a methodical process designed to deliver flawless results. It starts with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure, where we evaluate the decking, ventilation, and load-bearing capacity. Metal roofing is surprisingly lightweight compared to materials like concrete tile, but proper structural assessment ensures optimal performance and code compliance.
Our installation methodology follows these key steps:
- Detailed measurement and material ordering. We use precise measurements to minimize waste and ensure panels fit perfectly across your roof’s unique geometry
- Removal of existing roofing material. When necessary, we strip old shingles down to the decking and repair any damaged substrate
- Installation of underlayment and ice-and-water shield. These protective layers add a secondary barrier against moisture intrusion
- Panel installation with proper overlap and fastening. We follow manufacturer specifications for thermal expansion allowances and fastener torque settings
- Flashing and trim work at all penetrations and transitions. This critical step prevents leaks around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof edges
- Final inspection and cleanup. We look over all our work meticulously before considering any project complete
Benefits That Make Metal Roofing Worth the Investment
Metal roofing delivers energy savings that homeowners immediately appreciate. Reflective metal surfaces can reduce cooling costs by 10 to 25 percent by bouncing solar radiant heat rather than absorbing it into your attic space. Many metal roofing products carry Energy Star ratings, and some qualify for tax incentives. Metal roofs are also fire-resistant, typically carrying a Class A fire rating, which may lower your homeowner insurance premiums.
Environmental sustainability is another compelling advantage. Metal roofing materials contain 25 to 95 percent recycled content depending on the product, and they are 100 percent recyclable at the end of their service life. This stands in stark contrast to asphalt shingles, which contribute millions of tons to landfills each year. Metal roofs also handle severe weather remarkably well, withstanding wind speeds of 140 miles per hour or more when properly installed.
