Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Our 24-gauge Galvalume steel with Kynar paint provides unmatched durability against snow, ice, and corrosion. The interlocking seam design prevents water infiltration while allowing thermal movement. This system's longevity eliminates replacement costs over traditional materials.
Duro-Last Membrane Roofing
Commercial applications utilize Duro-Last's energy-efficient thermoplastic membranes. Custom-fabricated in our facility for rapid installation, these roofs feature 20-year full warranties and meet fire, wind, and energy code requirements for large buildings.
On-Site Roll Forming
Mobile roll-forming equipment creates seamless panels at job sites, reducing transportation costs and lead times. This method allows precise sizing for complex architectural designs while maintaining material integrity through controlled manufacturing processes.
Solar Metal Roofing
Designed for future solar panel installation, our roofs incorporate structural reinforcements and electrical pathway planning. The metal substrate provides a durable base for photovoltaic systems while maintaining aesthetic continuity with standard roofing profiles.
Commercial Roofing
Tailored solutions for industrial and municipal buildings include cold-weather insulation systems and snow management features. Our commercial team handles projects from small retail spaces to large municipal facilities with minimal operational disruption.

How long does a typical installation take?
Residential projects complete within 3-5 days, commercial installations vary based on size but minimize operational disruption.

How do metal roofs handle extreme weather?

These guys did a superb job installing a seamless metal roof on my two story house. Dan explained to me that a roof should be as close to the same temperature on the inside of the roof as the outside and recommended a ridge vent and blown insulation in my attic. After the roof installation, I noticed a little bit of rain coming down the chimney in my attic and called Dan, he had a guy put more sealer around the chimney the next day. Thanks Dan for excellent service and professionalism!

I am really pleased with the work perkins crew did on my house. On rainy days with the package I went with the insulation they put on my roof helps dampen the sound of the rain hitting my roof I also have noticed it has been cooler in my house. I seen the work that they did to my house and the extra effort they put in to make their work even better I am so happy I got a Dan Perkins roof on my house.
I can't stop smiling at the roof on my house knowing the three layers of shingles that were on my house are now gone forever. Even is the hot heat the crew still worked thru it to get it done. So thanks again Dan perkins and crew for one heck of a good job.

Dan came over at a moments notice and reviewed our roof. We really appreciated his honesty. He was able to provide a solution and guide us to contractors that would be best suited to address our particular issue. It's refreshing to deal with such an honest person.
