How We Do Metal Roofing
At J Hempel Services, our metal roofing installation process is a testament to precision, specialized craftsmanship, and unwavering attention to detail. Given the unique characteristics of metal, our approach is meticulous, ensuring a flawless, watertight, and long-lasting result.
Detailed Assessment & Design Consultation
Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your home's structure and roofline, ensuring it's suitable for metal roofing. We'll then engage in an in-depth consultation with you to understand your aesthetic preferences, performance requirements, and budget. We'll guide you through various metal profiles (e.g., standing seam, corrugated, shingles), colors, and finishes to achieve your desired look.
Permitting & Custom Material Acquisition
Once the design is finalized, we efficiently handle all necessary local permitting and regulatory approvals for metal roofing, which can have specific requirements. We then proceed with the custom ordering or fabrication of your chosen metal panels or tiles, coordinating their precise dimensions and delivery to the job site.
Old Roof Removal & Deck Preparation
For re-roofing projects, we safely and thoroughly remove your existing roofing materials. This crucial step is followed by a meticulous inspection and preparation of the roof deck. We ensure the deck is perfectly smooth, solid, and provides the ideal surface for the precise installation of the metal roofing system, including any necessary underlayment.
Precision Panel Installation & Watertight Sealing
Our certified metal roofing installers meticulously begin the installation. Whether it's expertly seaming together standing seam panels, precisely laying metal shingles, or fastening corrugated sheets, every component is secured with specialized techniques. We pay extreme attention to flashing around penetrations (chimneys, vents, skylights) to ensure a truly watertight and seamless protective envelope.
Rigorous Quality Assurance & Final Walkthrough
Upon completion, our project manager conducts a rigorous quality assurance inspection of the entire metal roofing system, verifying all fastenings, seams, and flashing. We then perform a comprehensive cleanup, removing all debris and leaving your property pristine. Finally, we provide you with all specific metal roofing warranty documentation and conduct a final walkthrough to ensure your complete satisfaction.
Benefits of Choosing Metal Roofing
Investing in a metal roof with J Hempel Services provides a host of exceptional advantages that deliver long-term value, superior performance, and enhanced aesthetics for your home.

Superior Durability & Impact Resistance: Highly resistant to extreme weather, including high winds, heavy snow, hail, and even fire, providing unparalleled protection for your home.

Low Maintenance: Once installed, metal roofs require very little maintenance beyond occasional inspections and cleaning, freeing up your time and saving on future costs.
Wide Range of Styles & Colors: Modern metal roofing comes in a vast array of profiles, colors, and finishes, capable of mimicking traditional shingles, tile, slate, or providing a sleek, contemporary look.
Increased Home Value & ROI: Due to their longevity, durability, and aesthetic appeal, metal roofs are a premium upgrade that significantly boosts your home’s market value and offers a strong return on investment.
Eco-Friendly & Recyclable: Many metal roofing materials contain a high percentage of recycled content and are 100% recyclable at the end of their long life, making them a sustainable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Roofing
Considering a metal roof for your home? Here are some common questions we receive to help you understand the benefits and characteristics of this advanced roofing system. If you have further inquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact J Hempel Services directly.
Is metal roofing noisy when it rains? This is a common misconception. When properly installed with solid sheathing and adequate insulation, a metal roof is typically no noisier than an asphalt shingle roof during rain or hail. The sound is largely dampened by the roof deck and attic insulation.
Is metal roofing more expensive than asphalt shingles? The initial upfront cost of a metal roof is generally higher than traditional asphalt shingles. However, given its exceptional longevity (50+ years vs. 20-30 years for asphalt), superior durability, and potential energy savings, metal roofing offers a significantly lower lifecycle cost and a better long-term return on investment.
How long does a metal roof typically last? Metal roofs are renowned for their longevity. Depending on the material, gauge, and coating, a professionally installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years, and often even longer. This makes it one of the longest-lasting roofing materials available.
Can metal roofs withstand hail and extreme weather? Yes, metal roofs are highly durable and excel in extreme weather conditions. They are resistant to high winds, heavy snow loads, and impact from hail, especially standing seam and stone-coated steel options. Unlike shingles, they won’t absorb water or delaminate.
Does metal roofing rust? Modern metal roofing materials are engineered with advanced coatings and finishes (like Galvalume or Kynar 500®) that provide exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion. Properly installed and maintained metal roofs are designed to remain rust-free for their entire lifespan.
