Full slope in one piece. No horizontal laps to leak.
26-gauge for long exposed spans.
Sealed engineering on structures we manufacture.
We run our own line, so dates hold.
Where commercial roofs actually leak.
NC, SC, VA and GA from two plants.
On a house, the difference between one panel and two lapped panels is minor. On a commercial building with a 60-foot slope, every horizontal lap is a leak path repeated across the entire roof width — dozens of them. Because we cut to order with no fixed stock length, a commercial slope can go up as single continuous panels. That is the single biggest reason commercial buyers come to a roll-former rather than a distributor.
A leak over a production line, a racking aisle or stored inventory costs more in one incident than the price difference between a good roof and a cheap one. That is why commercial specification skews toward heavier gauge on exposed spans, quality fasteners, and proper closure detail at ridge and eave. We would rather talk you into better screws than a bigger panel order.
Commercial projects bring sealed engineering, occupancy classification and inspection into scope. We supply certified drawings for structures we manufacture. For a re-roof on an existing commercial building, your engineer or GC owns load verification on the existing frame — we supply the material and the specification, not the structural assessment of somebody else's building.
For most warehouses, shops and light industrial buildings in the Southeast, a vertical-rib metal roof in long-run panels is the practical choice — it sheds water without horizontal laps, installs quickly, and lasts decades. The specification that matters most is not panel thickness but fastener quality and closure detail at ridge and eave.
It depends on square footage, gauge, panel length and how much trim the roof geometry demands — a simple gable needs far less than a roof with valleys and penetrations. We price from current coil cost. Call (252) 375-3651 with dimensions for a package number covering panels, trim, closures and fasteners.
Yes, including full-slope single-run panels. For a re-roof over an existing structure, your engineer or general contractor should verify the existing frame can carry the new load — we supply material and specification, not structural assessment of an existing building.
29-gauge covers many commercial applications. Step to 26-gauge where purlin spacing is wide, spans are long and exposed, or the roof gets walked on for maintenance. We will tell you which applies rather than defaulting to the upsell.
Tell us the size, your county and what you are storing. We quote from current steel pricing — no obligation, and we will tell you if a different size suits you better.
