When you watch a metal roofing crew work on your Asheville home, the process might look straightforward—remove old shingles, install new panels, clean up, and leave. But behind those visible steps lies precision work that determines whether your metal roofing investment protects your family for decades or becomes a source of headaches and expensive repairs.
We’ve installed metal roofs throughout Western North Carolina for years, from historic homes in Montford to modern mountain retreats in North Asheville. Every successful installation starts with understanding that metal roofing isn’t just a different material—it’s a different system requiring specialized knowledge, tools, and techniques. The way panels expand and contract with our 80-degree temperature swings, how they shed our 45+ inches of annual rainfall, and how they handle snow loads at higher elevations all demand installation approaches that differ significantly from traditional asphalt shingles.
This guide walks you through every phase of professional metal roofing installation, from the first assessment visit through final cleanup. You’ll understand what happens at each step, why it matters for your roof’s long-term performance, and what you should expect as a homeowner throughout the process. Whether you’re planning a standing seam installation or exploring other metal roofing options, knowing the complete process helps you work confidently with your contractor and ensures your investment delivers the protection and performance you expect.
Pre-Installation Assessment & Planning
The most successful metal roofing projects begin weeks before the first panel arrives on your property. This planning phase identifies potential issues, aligns expectations, and sets the foundation for smooth installation.
Roof Inspection & Structural Evaluation
Professional metal roofing installation starts with a comprehensive roof inspection that examines far more than your existing shingles. When we assess homes for metal roofing, we’re evaluating whether your roof structure can support the new system and identifying any repairs needed before installation begins.
Roof deck condition matters tremendously. We walk the entire roof looking for soft spots, sagging sections, or areas where water damage has compromised the plywood or OSB sheathing. Metal roofing installations typically last 40-70 years, so any deck problems must be addressed now rather than becoming issues 15-20 years into your new roof’s life when repair access becomes expensive and complicated.
Ventilation assessment determines whether your current attic ventilation supports metal roofing performance. Proper attic ventilation prevents moisture buildup that can corrode metal panels from underneath and manages heat that affects both roof performance and energy costs. Many Asheville homes need ventilation upgrades during metal roof installation, adding intake vents at soffits and exhaust vents at ridges to create balanced airflow.
We also examine roof penetrations—chimneys, plumbing vents, skylights, and any other elements that interrupt the roof plane. Each penetration requires custom flashing work for metal roofing, and we identify these during inspection to ensure proper materials and time allocation during installation. Our experience with chimney leak prevention shows how critical proper chimney integration is for long-term roof performance.
Material Selection Consultation
The inspection findings inform material selection conversations. Not every metal roofing system suits every home, and matching the right product to your specific situation prevents problems down the road.
Panel type selection considers both aesthetics and performance. Standing seam systems with concealed fasteners offer maximum weather protection and accommodate thermal movement beautifully, making them ideal for Asheville’s temperature extremes. Metal shingles that mimic traditional roofing patterns work well for homeowners in neighborhoods with architectural guidelines or those who prefer conventional appearances. Exposed fastener systems like R-panel or corrugated metal provide budget-friendly options for certain applications.
Material choice—steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc—depends on your priorities and budget. Steel (typically Galvalume-coated) offers the best value-to-performance ratio for most Asheville homes. Aluminum resists corrosion in heavily wooded areas where organic debris accumulates. Copper and zinc appeal to homeowners wanting premium materials for historic properties or distinctive aesthetics. Our metal roofing materials guide details each option’s characteristics for Western North Carolina conditions.
Color selection affects both appearance and energy performance. Lighter colors reflect more solar radiation, reducing cooling costs during Asheville’s warm summers. Darker colors absorb heat, which can help with snow shedding in winter but increases summer cooling loads. We help homeowners balance aesthetic preferences with practical performance considerations, often recommending lighter colors for south and west-facing roof sections in full sun exposure.
Gauge (thickness) specifications must match your roof’s requirements. Standard 26-gauge steel works for most residential applications, but homes in high-wind areas or at higher elevations where snow loads increase may benefit from heavier 24-gauge material. Thicker metal costs more but provides added security and often qualifies for better insurance discounts.
Permit Requirements in Buncombe County
Metal roofing installation in Asheville and Buncombe County requires building permits before work begins. Understanding permit requirements prevents delays and ensures your installation meets code standards.
Homes in historic districts face additional requirements. The City of Asheville’s Historic Resources Commission reviews proposed exterior changes to ensure compatibility with historic character. Metal roofing applications in districts like Montford or Chestnut Hill must demonstrate appropriate material selection, color choices, and installation methods. This review adds 2-4 weeks to the planning timeline, so early coordination matters for historic properties.
Required inspections occur at specific project phases. Buncombe County building inspectors typically examine the roof deck condition after the tear-off (if applicable) and final installation before project sign-off. These inspections ensure code compliance and provide additional quality verification beyond the contractor’s own standards. Good contractors welcome inspections as validation of their work quality.
Timeline Planning Around Weather
Asheville’s mountain weather creates both opportunities and challenges for metal roofing installation. Smart timeline planning accounts for seasonal patterns while maintaining schedule flexibility.
Spring (March-May) offers generally favorable installation weather with moderate temperatures and manageable rainfall. However, this peak season means contractor schedules fill quickly. Booking spring installations requires planning 8-12 weeks ahead to secure your preferred timing and crew availability.
Summer (June-August) provides the most predictable weather but also the hottest installation conditions. Metal roofing crews working in July and August start early to avoid midday heat, sometimes beginning at 6:00-6:30 AM to maximize cooler morning hours. Summer’s thunderstorm season requires monitoring weather forecasts and occasionally pausing work when storms approach, but these delays rarely exceed a few hours.
Fall (September-November) returns to ideal installation conditions with comfortable temperatures and stunning mountain foliage. Many homeowners prefer fall installations to ensure their roofs are ready before winter. Like spring, fall represents peak season requiring advance booking to secure contractor availability.
Winter (December-February) metal roofing installation works fine in Asheville when temperatures stay above freezing and conditions remain dry. Modern synthetic underlayments can be installed in cold weather, and metal panels can be installed successfully year-round. However, snow, ice, and sustained cold can create delays, making winter installations better suited for homeowners with flexible schedules. Some contractors offer modest discounts (5-10%) for winter installations to fill slower seasonal schedules.
Weather contingency planning builds flexibility into installation schedules. Quality contractors monitor forecasts closely and communicate proactively about any weather-related timing adjustments. Most residential metal roofing projects include weather delay clauses in contracts, protecting both homeowner and contractor when conditions make safe installation impossible.
The Metal Roofing Installation Process (Step-by-Step)
Understanding each installation phase helps you know what to expect and recognize quality work as it progresses. Professional metal roofing installation follows a systematic sequence that builds performance and durability into every layer.
Step 1: Removing Existing Roofing (if applicable)
Most metal roofing installations in Asheville begin with the complete removal of existing roofing materials. This tear-off phase, while messy and noisy, creates the clean foundation necessary for long-lasting performance.
The removal process starts with protecting your property. Crews place tarps around your home’s perimeter to catch falling debris and protect landscaping. Vehicles should be moved from driveways and garage areas to prevent damage from falling materials. We communicate with homeowners about these preparations several days before work begins, allowing time for necessary arrangements.
Actual tear-off proceeds section by section, with crews systematically removing old shingles, underlayment, and any deteriorated materials down to the roof deck. This exposes the plywood or OSB sheathing for inspection and reveals any hidden damage that wasn’t visible during initial assessment. Finding unexpected damage isn’t uncommon—we encounter some level of deck repair needs on roughly 40% of re-roofing projects.
Disposal logistics matter for project cleanliness and environmental responsibility. We use dumpsters positioned strategically for easy material disposal while minimizing lawn damage. Metal roofing tear-offs often go to recycling facilities, and we recycle asphalt shingles when possible through local programs. Proper disposal ensures your property doesn’t become a temporary landfill and demonstrates contractor professionalism.
Tear-off timing varies with roof size and complexity. A typical 2,000-square-foot Asheville home requires 4-8 hours for a complete tear-off with a 3-4 person crew. Complex roofs with multiple layers of old materials may need 10-12 hours. Contractors often complete tear-off and deck preparation in a single day to minimize your home’s exposure to the weather.
Some metal roofing installations proceed over existing asphalt shingles without tear-off, saving $2-4 per square foot in removal costs. This only works when the existing roofing is a single layer in good condition without significant damage. Many contractors (including Lane Roofing) prefer a complete tear-off despite the added cost because it allows thorough deck inspection and ensures optimal metal roofing performance through proper ventilation and substrate preparation.
Step 2: Deck Preparation & Repair
Once the deck is exposed, preparation work ensures your metal roofing has a solid, properly conditioned foundation. This phase often reveals the true condition of your roof structure and addresses any issues before they’re covered for decades.
Deck inspection examines every square foot of exposed sheathing. We look for water damage, rot, delamination, or structural inadequacy. Common problem areas include valleys where water concentrates, roof edges where ice dams may have occurred, and areas around chimneys or other penetrations where leaks could have developed.
Necessary repairs address any identified issues. Isolated damaged sections get cut out and replaced with new plywood or OSB, matching the existing deck thickness. Larger damaged areas may require replacing entire sheets. Severely rotted areas sometimes indicate underlying rafter damage requiring more extensive structural repair, though this is relatively uncommon in well-maintained homes.
Fastener inspection and reinforcement ensure the deck is properly secured to rafters. Loose sections get refastened, and inadequately secured areas receive additional fasteners to meet current building codes. This matters particularly for metal roofing because the panels’ long-term performance depends on a solid, stable substrate that doesn’t flex or move.
Deck sealing of gaps and joints creates a smooth, sealed surface for underlayment installation. Small gaps between sheathing panels get filled, and any protruding fasteners get removed or set flush. This preparation prevents underlayment tears and ensures water-shedding performance over decades of service.
For homeowners, this phase represents an opportunity to address hidden problems before they’re covered. While nobody enjoys unexpected repair costs, discovering and fixing deck damage now prevents far more expensive problems later. A $2,000 deck repair during installation is infinitely preferable to discovering rot five years into your new roof’s life, when accessing and repairing it means disturbing new metal panels.
Step 3: Underlayment Installation
Underlayment provides critical secondary weather protection that backs up your metal roofing panels. This layer often goes unnoticed but plays a vital role in long-term roof performance.
Synthetic underlayment has largely replaced traditional felt paper for metal roofing installations in Asheville. These high-tech materials resist tearing, handle temperature extremes better, and provide superior water resistance. Quality synthetic underlayment costs $1-2 per square foot but delivers performance that justifies the investment.
Installation begins at the eaves (bottom edge of roof) and progresses upward in overlapping courses. Each row overlaps the previous by 4-6 inches, creating a shingled effect that sheds water even if the metal panels are somehow compromised. Proper overlap prevents water intrusion and creates redundant protection.
Ice and water shield gets installed in critical areas prone to ice damming or water backup. We typically install this self-adhering membrane along eaves, in valleys, around chimneys and skylights, and along roof-to-wall intersections. Ice and water shield costs more than standard underlayment but provides extra insurance in vulnerable areas where leaks most commonly develop.
Fastening occurs at regular intervals using cap nails or staples that hold underlayment securely without creating penetrations that compromise its water-shedding ability. The underlayment must stay in place during potentially weeks of exposure before metal panels cover it, so proper fastening prevents wind uplift or displacement.
Temporary exposure protection matters in Asheville’s unpredictable weather. Quality underlayment can withstand direct sun and rain exposure for several weeks if necessary, though contractors plan installations to minimize this exposure time. If delays occur, the underlayment protects your home until panel installation proceeds.
Step 4: Drip Edge & Trim Installation
Drip edge and trim components establish proper water management at roof edges and create the framework that guides metal panel installation. These pieces go on before panels and require precision placement for optimal results.
Drip edge installation along eaves (bottom edges) directs water away from fascia boards and into gutters. Metal roofing’s efficient water shedding makes proper drip edge critical—without it, water can run behind gutters or down fascia boards, causing rot over time. We install drip edge over underlayment along eaves and under underlayment along rake edges (gable ends) following manufacturer specifications.
Rake trim at gable ends provides a finished appearance and weather protection. These trim pieces overlap the drip edge and extend slightly beyond the roof edges to ensure wind-driven rain doesn’t infiltrate the roof edges. Proper rake trim installation includes sealant tape at overlaps to prevent water intrusion while allowing thermal movement.
Eave trim for standing seam systems creates the starting point for panel installation. This specialized trim accommodates the first panel’s attachment and establishes the proper slope and alignment for all subsequent panels. Precise eave trim installation is critical because any misalignment here multiplies across the entire roof section.
Valley trim installation requires particular care because valleys concentrate water flow. Standing seam installations typically use open valley systems with specially fabricated valley pans that channel water while allowing metal panels to expand and contract freely. Valley trim must be secured properly while allowing necessary movement, requiring experienced installers who understand metal roofing’s unique thermal characteristics.
All trim components get sealed appropriately using butyl tape or compatible sealants. However, experienced installers know that over-sealing can create problems by preventing necessary drainage or thermal movement. The right balance between sealing for weather protection and allowing movement for thermal expansion comes from experience with metal roofing systems.
Step 5: Panel Installation & Fastening
Panel installation represents the most visible phase of metal roofing work and requires precision, experience, and attention to detail that distinguishes professional installations from amateur work.
Panel delivery typically occurs just before installation begins to avoid on-site damage or handling issues. Standing seam panels often arrive in custom lengths matching your roof sections, minimizing seams and potential leak points. Corrugated panels and metal shingles come in standard lengths and get cut to fit during installation.
The starting point determines the success of the entire installation. The first panel must be perfectly positioned and aligned because every subsequent panel follows its lead. Experienced crews spend extra time on this first panel, using string lines and careful measurements to ensure proper placement. A first panel that’s even slightly off can create cumulative errors across the roof that become apparent (and problematic) only after multiple panels are installed.
Fastening techniques vary by system type. Standing seam systems use concealed clips that attach to the deck while allowing panels to move with thermal expansion and contraction. These clips are spaced at 12-24 inches along each panel and require precise placement to ensure proper panel engagement and secure attachment. Exposed fastener systems use specialized screws with neoprene washers that seal against water infiltration while accommodating some movement. Proper fastener selection, placement, and installation torque all affect long-term performance.
Panel interlocking creates weather-tight seams between adjacent panels. Standing seam systems feature raised ribs that interlock mechanically, often requiring special seaming machines to properly engage the panels. Metal shingle systems overlap and interlock following manufacturer specifications. Getting these connections right prevents water infiltration and wind uplift.
Thermal expansion accommodation separates professional installations from inadequate work. Metal panels expand and contract significantly with temperature changes—a 40-foot steel panel can expand/contract over half an inch between summer and winter extremes. Proper fastening systems and panel attachment allow this movement without stressing panels, fasteners, or substrate. Failing to accommodate movement leads to oil-canning (panel waviness), fastener failure, or panel damage within a few years.
Panel seaming for standing seam systems typically uses mechanical seaming equipment that rolls the raised ribs together, creating weather-tight seams while allowing proper thermal movement. This specialized equipment requires training and experience to operate correctly. Hand-seaming is possible but rarely achieves the consistent, weather-tight results that mechanical seaming provides.
The crew works systematically across the roof, completing sections before moving to adjacent areas. This progression keeps the work organized and allows for ongoing quality checks. Panels get installed straight, parallel, and properly aligned with trim components. Any cutting required for roof penetrations or edge details gets done precisely to maintain weather protection.
Step 6: Ridge Capping & Flashing
Ridge caps and flashing components complete the weather-tight envelope and address all the transition points where metal roofing meets other roof elements or structures.
Ridge cap installation covers the peak where the roof slopes meet. Metal ridge caps provide ventilation (with vented ridge cap systems) while shedding water to both sides of the roof peak. Proper ridge cap attachment allows thermal movement while securing caps against wind uplift. We often use foam closure strips beneath ridge caps to prevent wind-driven rain infiltration while allowing ventilation airflow.
Hip caps on hip roofs function similarly to ridge caps but follow the external angles where roof slopes meet. These require precise fitting and secure attachment because they’re exposed to significant wind forces. Quality hip cap installation includes proper overlaps at intersections and weather-appropriate sealant application.
Chimney flashing represents one of the most critical leak-prevention details. Metal roofing chimney flashings typically include base flashing that integrates with roofing panels, step flashing up chimney sides, and counter-flashing that’s embedded in chimney mortar joints or surface-mounted with appropriate sealants. We often install crickets (diverters) on the uphill side of chimneys to route water around rather than allowing it to accumulate behind the chimney.
Penetration flashing for plumbing vents, exhaust vents, and other roof penetrations must accommodate the penetrating element while maintaining weather-tight integrity. Metal roofing penetration flashings often use rubber boot-style flashings for round penetrations and custom metal flashings for rectangular vents or unusual penetrations. Each requires proper integration with roofing panels and appropriate sealant application.
Skylight integration requires careful attention because skylights represent potential leak points if improperly flashed. Metal roofing skylight flashings typically involve pan-style flashing that sits beneath and around the skylight frame, integrating with roofing panels to channel water properly. This work requires experience because improper skylight flashing is a common source of leaks in metal roofing systems.
Wall intersections where roofs meet vertical walls need step flashing or continuous flashing, depending on the configuration. These flashings must allow proper water shedding while accommodating the thermal movement of metal roofing panels. Getting these details right prevents leaks that commonly develop at roof-to-wall transitions.
All flashing work includes appropriate sealant application using high-quality butyl tape or compatible sealants rated for metal roofing. However, experienced installers avoid over-reliance on sealants, understanding that properly designed and installed flashings should function primarily through their physical design rather than depending solely on sealant longevity.
Step 7: Quality Inspection & Cleanup
The final installation phase ensures everything is complete, functional, and properly finished before the crew leaves your property.
A comprehensive inspection examines every aspect of the installation. We walk the entire roof, checking panel alignment, fastener integrity, flashing details, and overall workmanship. This catch-all inspection identifies any issues that need immediate correction before equipment is packed and crews move to the next job.
Touch-up work addresses any minor issues identified during inspection. A fastener that needs adjustment, a flashing detail requiring additional sealant, or a panel edge needing minor trimming all get corrected. This attention to detail prevents minor issues from becoming problems later.
Debris removal returns your property to a clean condition. Metal roofing installation generates surprisingly little debris compared to asphalt shingles, but we still thoroughly clean gutters, remove any metal scraps or packaging materials, and sweep driveways and walkways. Magnetic sweepers collect any dropped fasteners from driveways, lawns, and landscaping, preventing flat tires and injury.
Gutter cleaning ensures your gutters function properly with the new metal roof. We remove any debris that accumulated during installation and verify that gutters and downspouts drain freely. Metal roofs shed water more efficiently than asphalt, sometimes revealing gutter capacity issues that weren’t apparent before. We identify any gutter upgrade needs and can coordinate these improvements if desired through our gutter services.
Final walkthrough with the homeowner provides an opportunity to review the work, answer questions, and ensure complete satisfaction. We explain maintenance requirements (minimal for metal roofing), review warranty coverage, and provide documentation needed for permit closure, insurance discounts, and your permanent records.
Documentation package includes installation invoices, material specifications, warranty information, permit records, and manufacturer certifications. This documentation supports insurance discount requests, provides maintenance guidance, and adds value when you eventually sell your home by demonstrating professional installation and ongoing warranty coverage.
Installation Timeline for Different Project Types
Understanding realistic timeframes helps you plan around installation activities and set appropriate expectations. Installation timelines vary based on project scope, home size, and complexity.
Residential Re-Roof (1,500-2,500 sq ft): 2-4 days
Typical Asheville homes in this size range see complete metal roofing installation accomplished in 2-4 working days, depending on specific circumstances.
Day 1 typically includes complete tear-off, deck inspection and repairs, and underlayment installation. A professional crew with good weather can often complete these phases in a single day for straightforward roofs, leaving the home weather-tight overnight with quality underlayment protection.
Day 2 focuses on trim installation and beginning panel installation. Drip edge, rake trim, valley preparation, and starting panels go up. Depending on roof complexity, crews may complete 30-50% of panel installation on day two.
Day 3 continues panel installation and usually includes ridge capping and initial flashing work. Most straightforward installations reach substantial completion by the end of day three, with only detail work remaining.
Day 4 handles any remaining details, completes all flashing work, performs quality inspection, and accomplishes final cleanup. Many simpler installations are complete in three days, while complex roofs with numerous penetrations, dormers, or challenging flashing details extend to four days.
Weather interruptions extend these timelines. Rain doesn’t necessarily stop metal panel installation once underlayment is in place, but it slows work and creates safety concerns. Heavy rain, thunderstorms, high winds, or snow/ice stop work entirely. These weather delays rarely exceed a few hours in Asheville’s generally favorable climate, but homeowners should understand that timelines aren’t guaranteed when weather doesn’t cooperate.
New Construction: 3-5 days
New construction metal roofing installations typically take longer than re-roofs, despite not requiring a tear-off. The difference comes from coordination with other trades, material staging, and often more complex roof designs on new custom homes.
Pre-installation preparation includes verifying roof deck installation, checking framing for proper spacing and structural adequacy, and coordinating with other construction trades. New construction requires communication between roofers, HVAC contractors (for vent penetrations), plumbers (for pipe penetrations), and electricians (for any roof-mounted equipment).
The actual roofing installation follows similar phases to re-roofing but often includes more complex configurations. New construction frequently features multiple roof levels, complex valley systems, and numerous penetrations that add installation time.
Quality control on new construction includes coordination with building inspectors at required phases. Most jurisdictions require deck inspection before underlayment installation and final roofing inspection before certificate of occupancy issuance. Scheduling these inspections extends the overall timeline compared to straightforward re-roofing projects.
Commercial Projects: Variable based on size
Commercial metal roofing installations vary dramatically based on building size, roof complexity, and project scope. Small commercial buildings (2,000-4,000 square feet) follow similar timelines to larger residential projects. Medium-sized commercial buildings (5,000-15,000 square feet) typically require 5-10 working days, depending on roof design and complexity.
Large commercial projects exceed these timeframes substantially and often involve specialized systems like TPO commercial roofing on flat or low-slope sections combined with metal roofing on steeper portions.
Commercial work includes additional coordination requirements. Businesses often want installation completed around operating schedules to minimize customer disruption. This can mean working evenings, weekends, or in sections that maintain business continuity. These considerations extend timelines but serve the client’s business needs.
Cost Breakdown: Labor vs. Materials
Understanding how metal roofing costs are divided between labor and materials helps homeowners evaluate estimates and understand pricing structures.
Typical cost allocation for metal roofing installation runs approximately 40% materials and 60% labor for standing seam systems. This ratio shifts for different metal roofing types—exposed fastener systems may run closer to 50% materials and 50% labor due to simpler installation requirements.
Material costs include the metal panels themselves, underlayment, trim components, fasteners, flashing materials, and sealants. For a typical Asheville home, material costs might break down as follows:
- Metal panels: 60-70% of total material cost
- Underlayment and ice/water shield: 15-20%
- Trim, flashing, and fasteners: 10-15%
- Miscellaneous materials (sealants, closures, etc.): 5-10%
Labor costs cover tear-off and disposal, deck preparation and repairs, all installation phases, and cleanup. Professional installation requires specialized skills, experience, and equipment that justify the labor investment. The difference between adequate installation and exceptional installation typically shows up in the labor component—crews who rush installations to save time often create problems that emerge later.
Additional costs beyond base materials and labor include permits ($200-500), disposal fees for removed materials ($500-1,500 depending on volume), equipment costs for specialized installation tools, and potential structural repairs discovered during tear-off.
The labor-intensive nature of metal roofing installation explains why material costs represent a smaller percentage of total cost than many homeowners expect. Unlike asphalt shingles, where materials constitute 60-70% of the total cost, metal roofing’s installation complexity shifts the balance toward labor. This also explains why cutting corners on installation to save money rarely makes sense—the labor investment far exceeds material costs, so compromising installation quality to save modest amounts on materials jeopardizes the much larger labor investment.
Homeowners evaluating competing estimates should understand that very low bids usually indicate corners being cut somewhere. Installation time estimates that seem unrealistically short, minimal crew sizes, or vague warranty language often signal problems. The cost of quality metal roofing installation reflects the expertise, time, and attention to detail required for installations that perform flawlessly for decades.
Moving Forward with Your Metal Roofing Installation
Armed with an understanding of the complete metal roofing installation process, you can approach your project confidently, knowing what to expect at each phase and how to evaluate contractor capabilities.
The most successful installations begin with thorough pre-installation planning that addresses all site-specific factors before work begins. Take time to understand your roof’s unique requirements, discuss material options with your contractor, and align expectations on timeline and project scope.
Working with experienced metal roofing contractors who understand Western North Carolina’s specific climate challenges ensures installation details appropriate for our mountain environment.
