Diverse solutions tailored to your every need
The most common residential roof types include asphalt shingles, metal roofs, tile roofs, and flat or low-slope roofs. Each offers unique benefits in terms of durability, style, and cost.
Choosing the right roof depends on factors like your home’s architecture, local climate, budget, and desired lifespan. Our experts can help you select a roof type that balances aesthetics and performance.
Asphalt shingles usually last 20–30 years, metal roofs 40–70 years, and tile roofs 50+ years with proper maintenance. Flat or low-slope roofs generally last 15–25 years depending on materials and installation quality.
Yes! Metal roofs reflect solar heat and can reduce cooling costs, while lighter-colored shingles or tiles also improve energy efficiency. Proper insulation and ventilation further enhance performance.

Finish Options
Metal roofing finishes affect both appearance and performance. We offer several finish types:
Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 (PVDF) finishes provide the highest level of color retention, fade resistance, and chalk resistance. These premium resin-based coatings are backed by 30-40 year warranties and are recommended for homes throughout the Eastern Shore where UV exposure and salt air can be harsh on roofing materials.
Polyester finishes offer good color retention and durability at a lower price point than PVDF coatings. While they may fade slightly faster than premium finishes, they still provide decades of attractive appearance and reliable protection.
Textured or matte finishes reduce glare and create a more traditional appearance that can blend better with certain architectural styles. These finishes are particularly popular for metal shingles that replicate historic roofing materials.
Metallic or high-gloss finishes create a contemporary, striking appearance that works well for modern architecture. These finishes maximize reflectivity for better energy efficiency.
Steel Roofing
Steel roofing is ideal for Eastern Shore homeowners seeking durability and performance at a reasonable price point. When properly coated and maintained, steel roofs can last 50 years or more, even in the challenging coastal environment. We recommend steel roofing for most residential applications in Cambridge, Salisbury, and throughout the region.
Aluminum Roofing
Aluminum offers natural corrosion resistance that makes it particularly well-suited for coastal applications. Unlike steel, aluminum doesn't rust, making it the preferred choice for oceanfront properties in Ocean City, waterfront homes along the Chesapeake Bay, and properties near salt marshes where salt air exposure is constant.
Copper Roofing
Copper represents the premium option in metal roofing, offering unmatched beauty, longevity, and natural weather resistance. Copper roofs can last 100 years or more and develop a distinctive green patina over time that many homeowners find highly attractive. Copper requires no painting or coating and naturally resists corrosion.
Why Choose Metal Roofing for Your Eastern Shore Home?
The Eastern Shore's unique climate presents specific challenges for roofing systems. From intense summer heat and UV exposure to coastal winds, salt air corrosion, and winter freeze-thaw cycles, your roof needs to withstand it all. Metal roofing excels in these conditions, offering unmatched durability, energy efficiency, and weather resistance that traditional asphalt shingles simply can't match.
Metal roofs are built to last. While asphalt shingle roofs typically need replacement every 15-20 years, a properly installed metal roof can last 50 years or longer with minimal maintenance. This makes metal roofing one of the best long-term investments you can make in your home. Our metal roofing systems are engineered to withstand wind speeds up to 140 mph, making them ideal for coastal areas like Ocean City and the Chesapeake Bay region where severe weather is a concern.
Increased Home Value
Installing a metal roof can significantly boost your home's resale value. Homebuyers recognize the long-term value of metal roofing, and homes with metal roofs often command higher prices and sell faster than comparable homes with asphalt shingles. According to industry studies, metal roofing can provide up to 85% return on investment when you sell your home.
Low Maintenance Requirements
Unlike traditional roofing materials that require regular maintenance, repairs, and eventual replacement, metal roofs are remarkably low-maintenance. They resist moss, mildew, and algae growth that commonly plague asphalt shingles in the Eastern Shore's humid climate. Metal roofing won't crack, curl, or lose granules over time, and it sheds snow and ice more easily than other roofing materials, reducing the risk of ice dams and winter damage.
Types of Metal Roofing We Install
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam metal roofing is the most popular and recognizable style of metal roofing. This system features vertical panels with raised seams that interlock to create a watertight seal. The concealed fastener system means no exposed screws that could leak over time, making standing seam one of the most durable and weather-resistant options available.
Standing seam metal roofs are ideal for both modern and traditional homes across the Eastern Shore. The clean, contemporary lines work beautifully on modern farmhouses, coastal cottages, and new construction, while the low-profile panels can complement more traditional architectural styles. Available in a wide range of colors and finishes, standing seam metal roofing offers exceptional performance and curb appeal.
Corrugated Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal roofing features the classic wavy pattern that's been protecting buildings for over a century. While traditionally used on agricultural and commercial buildings, corrugated metal has found new popularity in residential applications, particularly for barns, sheds, garages, and homes seeking an industrial or rustic aesthetic.
The exposed fastener system makes corrugated metal roofing one of the most economical metal roofing options, while still providing excellent durability and weather protection. It's an ideal choice for outbuildings, workshops, and properties seeking a classic farmhouse or rural look.
