Forest Lake Metal Roof Installation

Established in 2009, AM Burney Exteriors is a Forest Lake metal roofing company. We started out installing asphalt roofs but it was not long before we specialize in metal roof installations in the Twin Cities Metro area. While we still install asphalt roofs, our focus changed to educating our clients on the benefits of a metal roof and we do cost comparisons of metal roofs to asphalt roofs for them. Hands download, metal roofs are highly recommended due to its many benefits.

Asphalt shingles are only expected to last between 17-23 years as our Minnesota climate is rough on them, while metal roofs last 40-60 years on average. While metal roofs have a higher upfront cost, they save property owners money in the long term. Think about it, our valued clients will not have to get multiple asphalt roof installations over the next few decades, just a single metal roof.

Why we say, ‘one metal roof, life, one time.”

Each of our three types of metal roofs has its own benefits. Our team can install standing seam, stone-coated, and embossed interlocking steel roof panels depending on the client’s needs and preferences.

Forest Lake Standing Seam Roof Installation

A standing seam roof offers a distinctive and sleek appearance with long vertical lines that complement both modern buildings and traditional homes, cabins, garages, or outbuildings. Depending on what the structure is used for, these roofs can be installed using a hidden fastener system for heated structures or an exposed fastener system for unheated structures such as barns or outbuildings.

The exposed fastener system is often what we see on barns, out buildings and storage sheds. Because of this some refer to the exposed fastener system as barn steel. In this system the screws are exposed to the elements. In a hidden fastener system, all screws are enclosed from the elements.

One of the advantages of metal roofs is their ability to dissipate heat quickly, unlike asphalt shingles which retain heat. This cooling effect translates to lower attic temperatures, reduced reliance on air conditioning, and consequently, lower electricity bills for our metal roof homeowners. With minimized heat in the attic, energy costs are further reduced, resulting in long-term savings.

In addition to their energy efficiency, standing seam roofs offer exceptional durability, making them a top choice for homeowners seeking protection against hail storms and strong winds and snow accumulations. Available in different gauges, such as 22, 24, and 26 gauge steel, these steel panels provide optimal defense against harsh weather conditions. Advanced paint technology ensures that the finish on these steel panels is highly durable and resistant to fading. Moreover, a wide range of solid and blended colors are available, creating stunning visual aesthetics once installed. Looking for a black metal roof? We got one!

Standing seam roofs offer the following benefits:

50-year transferable warranties (most varies per metal manufacturer)
Resistant to high winds, heavy rains, storms, hail, and snow
Class A fire resistant
Class 4 hail impact resistant
Custom installs to fit any roof design and pitch
Lightweight
Dirt and stain resistant for long-lasting curb appeal
Available in many solid and blended colors
Snow slides off – snow retention guards available for safety
Return on investment

When it comes to installing standing seam roofs, we go the extra mile to ensure top-notch quality. We specifically prioritize the use of 100% smooth-face, high-temperature underlayments that are purposefully designed to withstand the harsh Minnesota winters.

To further enhance safety measures, we often incorporate snow guards into the roof system. By doing so, the snow retention systems effectively prevent large amounts of snow sliding off the roof, safeguarding both individuals and property.

Stone-Coated Steel Roofing

At AM Burney Exteriors, we offer durable stone-coated steel roofs in Forest Lake. These roofs withstand harsh weather, especially hail and wind and enhance the aesthetic appeal of homes.

Made in the USA, our stone-coated steel roofs look like other types of traditional roofing like asphalt or cedar shakes. They are installed horizontally across the roof deck. But that is where the similarities end when comparing this metal roof shingle to an asphalt shingle. These galvalume steel panels are made of 26 gauge steel that is molded to a variety of profiles which gives them even more additional strength to stand up to hail, or whatever our Minnesota climate throws at them. Compared to traditional roof materials this metal roof shingle goes the distance. With a variety of colors and profiles available, homeowners can find the perfect fit.

Our roofs feature a patented ventilation system for improved thermal performance that produce energy savings in the form of lower utility bills and overall home temperature comfort. This innovative feature releases trapped hot air, a common issue with conventional roof forms. Heat is expelled more efficiently across the roof deck. A test conducted reveals that while an asphalt shingle attic recorded a temperature of 147 degrees, the stone-coated roofing system showcased a temperature of 89 degrees directly on the deck. This notable difference translates to less heat accumulation on the roof deck and in the attic, reducing reliance on air conditioning and substantial savings on energy bills for our valued customers.

Trust that we have done our homework to bring a variety of quality metal roof materials to our homeowners in Forest Lake. Many property owners who see a stone-coated steel roof for the first time are surprised that it’s made of metal.

Stone-coated steel roofs yield the following benefits:

50 year transferable warranties

Class A Fire resistant
Patented above sheathing ventilation system that helps cool the roof

Metal Roof FAQs

Is a metal roof noisy?

This is probably the #1 question we as metal roof installers get. Perhaps you remember standing under a barn, shed or outbuiliding during a rainstorm. In these structures, the steel roof panels are secured directly to the rafters. There is no sound barrier so it sounded loud when it rained. On a home, townhome or heated commercial facility, the steel panels are fastened to an underlayment, then decking, with insulation under that and a sheet rock ceiling which absorbs and muffles sound.

In addition, and this too helps muffle sound, some metal roofs can be installed over an asphalt roof. Considering the layer of shingles, roof deck, attic air space, rafters, the insulation, and sheetrock ceiling, individuals who have metal roof say what they hear when it rains is the rain on their skylights and soft metals (gutters), not their metal roof.

Can I walk on my metal roof?

Yes, but like with any roof care should always be taken.

How much does a metal roof cost compared to asphalt roofs?

Initially a metal roof may cost more depending on the type of asphalt shingle you compare it to. A steel roof will never need to be replaced in your lifetime, lasting 40-80 years (depending on metal type) when compared to asphalt roofs which last about 17-20 years in our climate. If you have hail, wind or storm damage asphalt shingles are more likely to damage when compared to a metal roof. Therefore over a life-time, a metal roof is less expensive.
