Metal roofing
You are done replacing the same shingles. Standing-seam metal is an option for the right building, including roofs with skylights.
What this means for your roof
A building that has already had two shingle roofs does not need a third if metal is the better roof. Faber Roof installs standing-seam metal: long panels, raised seams, and a finish that sheds water instead of soaking a tab. A brick building in Metro Detroit carries this system, skylights included. Call (810) 360-7385 and ask if it fits your building. The estimate says yes or no after someone sees the roof.
What's Included
- Standing-seam panels, not exposed-fastener sheets
- Skylights set into the roof when the building has them
- A system for buildings that should not take another shingle roof
- Written yes or no after the look
- Metro Detroit, from the Farmington Hills office
When shingles are the wrong roof
You already know the cycle: granules in the gutter, a patch, another replacement. Metal ends that cycle on buildings that can carry it. You should not order it from a photo. You should ask, then get a look.
Standing seam, including skylights
Standing-seam panels run the length of the slope. The seams stand up and lock, so the fasteners are not sitting in the weather the way they do on a screw-down panel. Skylights can stay in the roof. Faber Roof has installed this on a brick building. If your building needs the same kind of roof, that is the conversation to start.
How you find out if it fits
Call (810) 360-7385. Give the address, whether the building is a house or a commercial property, and whether you want metal instead of shingles. Someone looks at the structure and the slopes. You get a written estimate if metal is the right roof, or a straight no if it is not.
Metro Detroit
The crew works from Farmington Hills into Detroit and the suburbs between them. Metal is not limited to one township. It is limited to buildings where the system belongs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install metal roofs?
Yes. Standing-seam metal, including roofs with skylights. Call (810) 360-7385 and ask if it fits your building.
Can you put metal over the old shingles?
We do not. The shingles come off so the deck can be checked. Standing seam goes on a roof we have seen, not on top of a layer that is already tired.
Will a metal roof be loud in the rain?
Standing seam over a solid deck is not the drumming people remember from a barn roof. If noise is the worry, say so when you call. We will tell you what the building will actually sound like.
Can the skylights stay?
Often yes. Skylights can be flashed into the panels. If one is already leaking, that gets called out on the estimate instead of being buried.
Where do you work?
