Metal Roofing
Standing Seam & Corrugated Metal Roofs Built for Montana’s Toughest Weather
A metal roof is one of the best investments you can make for a Montana home — but only if it’s installed correctly. At Fly Roofing, we install standing seam and corrugated metal roofing systems designed to shed snow, handle heavy winds, prevent leaks, and withstand years of freeze–thaw cycles.
Metal roofing is extremely durable, long-lasting, and beautiful — but proper installation is everything. We bring local expertise, certified training, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time.
- Metal Roofing Benefits
Why Metal Roofing Works So Well in Montana
Montana weather isn’t gentle. Heavy snow loads, sudden wind gusts, hailstorms, and big temperature swings make metal roofing a great choice for long-term protection.
A correctly installed metal roof offers:
- Exceptional water shedding
- Strong resistance to hail and wind
- Long lifespan (often 40–70+ years)
- A clean, modern look that boosts curb appeal
- Better snow slide-off
- Fire resistance
- Low maintenance
Unlike shingles, metal roofs are designed to move with temperature changes. If that movement is restricted by poor installation, leaks and panel damage can occur. That’s why choosing a local, experienced installer matters.
- Metal Roof Choices
Our Metal Roofing Options
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
The premium choice for Montana homes
Standing seam is considered the top-tier metal roofing system due to its durability, performance, and clean appearance. It’s installed using concealed fasteners, meaning no exposed screws to loosen, crack, or leak over time.
We install:
- Mechanical lock panels (double-lock or single-lock)
- Snap-lock panels
Both options allow for proper thermal movement, making the system extremely resistant to Montana’s temperature swings.
Benefits of Standing Seam:
- Fastener-free surface (no leaks caused by screw wear)
- Longest lifespan
- Excellent for snow shedding
- Low maintenance
- Sleek, high-end appearance
- Ideal for custom homes and long-term value
If you’re looking for a “lifetime roof,” standing seam is the one.
Corrugated Metal Roofing
A strong, affordable metal option
Corrugated (exposed-fastener) metal roofs offer excellent durability at a lower upfront cost. They come in numerous colors and profiles and add a classic Montana look to cabins, homes, shops, and garages.
This system uses screws with rubber washers that require periodic maintenance, especially as weather exposure breaks down the grommets over time.
Benefits of Corrugated Metal:
- More budget-friendly than standing seam
- Great for larger roof areas
- Available in many colors and profiles
- Adds depth and visual character
- Durable and storm-resistant
Corrugated metal is a great solution when you want the benefits of metal at a more accessible price point.
- Metal Roof Issue Prevention
Common Metal Roof Issues — And How We Prevent Them
Metal roofs are fantastic, but only when installed with precision. Here’s what we watch for:
Fastener Wear (exposed systems)
Rubber washers on screws break down over time. We use high-quality fasteners and proper spacing to maximize lifespan.
Incorrect Flashing at Transitions
Valleys, walls, chimneys, skylights, and penetrations require detailed metal work. We take our time here — this is where most leaks happen.
Improper Panel Movement
Metal expands and contracts. If installers restrict movement, panels can warp or pull fasteners loose. We ensure correct clip spacing and installation technique.
Poor Panel Alignment
Crooked panels aren’t just cosmetic; they cause structural issues. We install every panel with precision.
Ice Dams & Snow Load
We install the proper underlayment, ice & water shield, and ventilation to help prevent ice dams and water back-up.
Your metal roof doesn’t just need to look good — it needs to perform for decades.
