Metal Roofing Built to
Outlast the Colorado Sky
Standing seam, stone-coated steel, and metal shingles in steel and aluminum, installed by a veteran-owned crew that will tell you honestly whether metal is the right call for your home.
A Roof You Might
Only Buy Once
A metal roof is a long-term decision, so we don't open with color chips. We start with your home, your budget, and how long you plan to stay, then give a straight read on whether metal earns its higher upfront cost on your roof.
Verity installs residential metal roofing across Castle Rock and the Front Range in steel and aluminum, with custom colors to match nearly any home. To see how metal compares with asphalt, synthetic, and other materials side by side, our roofing systems page lays out the full menu. Every recommendation starts with a free roof inspection, on foot and, where it helps, by drone.
We are veteran-owned, founded by Marine Corps veteran Brian Zimmerman, and we run this the way you would want it run: documented, unhurried, and honest. If a standard asphalt roof is the smarter spend for how long you plan to stay, that is the recommendation you will get, even though it is the smaller sale.
Metal is not the answer for every roof. It fits homes where the owner plans to stay a while, wants low upkeep, or has a roofline suited to standing seam. We would rather match you to the right material than the most expensive one.
Three Ways to Do a Metal Roof
Not all metal roofs look, or work, the same. Here are the three systems we install.
Standing Seam
Standing seam is the clean, modern look most people picture: long vertical panels with raised, interlocking seams and no exposed fasteners. Hidden fasteners mean fewer spots for water to find a way in, and concealed clips let the panels expand and contract as temperatures swing across the seasons. It is a strong fit for simple, bold rooflines.
Stone-Coated Steel
Stone-coated steel gives you the strength of a steel roof with the texture and shadow of traditional shingles, tile, or shake. A bonded stone surface hides the metal and softens noise, so you get durability without the industrial look. It suits homeowners who want metal performance while keeping a traditional neighborhood profile.
Metal Shingles
Metal shingles install in smaller, interlocking pieces that mimic dimensional asphalt, slate, or wood shake. They work well on complex roofs with lots of angles and are often the easiest metal system to repair, panel by panel. Many of these products carry a Class 4 impact rating, the same category we cover on our impact-resistant roofing page.
The panel is only half the roof. Underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and fastener detailing decide whether a metal roof reaches its full life. Ask any bidder to walk you through those four things before you compare colors.
Built for Hail, Wind,
Snow, and Hard Sun
The Front Range throws everything at a roof: spring and summer hail, downslope wind, heavy wet snow, and thin-air sun that ages materials fast. Metal handles that mix better than most surfaces. It sheds snow and water, resists wind uplift when fastened correctly, and will not crack, curl, or go brittle the way sun-baked asphalt eventually does.
Reflective "cool roof" finishes are another Colorado advantage. A reflective metal surface bounces away summer heat instead of soaking it up, which can ease the load on your home on the hottest afternoons. Paired with good attic ventilation, it helps your whole roof work less hard.
Hail is the question every Front Range homeowner asks, and it deserves an honest answer. If a storm does hit, our storm damage restoration team documents everything and guides you through the insurance claims process, meeting your adjuster on site so the scope reflects what is there.
After a big storm, out-of-town crews knock doors promising to "handle your claim" on the spot. Slow down. You pick your contractor, you control your claim, and a free local inspection costs you nothing.
The Real Tradeoffs,
No Sugarcoating
Metal carries two reputations worth addressing head-on: noise and denting. Both come down to material choice and installation, not metal itself.
Noise
The "loud in the rain" idea comes from bare metal barns with nothing underneath. A residential metal roof installed over solid decking, underlayment, and attic insulation is quiet, and stone-coated steel is quieter still. Most homeowners never notice a difference.
Denting
Denting is real, but it is a material and gauge decision, not a reason to rule out metal. Softer, thinner metal can show dimples from large hail, while heavier-gauge steel and stone-coated products shrug off impacts. We match the product to your exposure and tell you plainly what to expect.
Cost and Long-Term Value
There is no getting around it: metal costs more upfront than asphalt. The trade is length of service and low upkeep. A well-installed metal roof lasts for decades, far longer than a typical asphalt roof, so the cost spreads over a much longer life. To make the upfront number easier, we offer financing, and we back the work with manufacturer warranties and the certifications our crews carry.
Lifetime value is not only about lifespan. It is fewer replacements, fewer repair calls, better resale appeal, and a roof you can mostly forget about. For an owner planning to stay put, that math often favors metal.
Straight Answers Before You Commit
Is a metal roof really that much louder in rain or hail?
No, not on a modern home. The noisy-barn reputation comes from bare metal with nothing underneath. Installed over solid decking, underlayment, and attic insulation, a residential metal roof is quiet, and stone-coated steel is quieter still. Most homeowners tell us they cannot tell the difference from asphalt.
Will Colorado hail dent my metal roof?
It depends on the product and the storm. Large hail can dimple thinner, softer metal, while heavier-gauge steel and stone-coated systems resist impacts far better. Many metal shingles even carry a Class 4 impact rating. During your free inspection we match the material to your exposure and give you a straight answer about what to expect.
Does a metal roof cost more than asphalt shingles?
Yes, upfront. Metal is a bigger check to write on install day. The value shows up over time: it lasts for decades, far longer than asphalt, with less upkeep and fewer replacements. We offer financing to spread the cost, and we will tell you honestly if asphalt is the smarter spend for how long you plan to stay in the home.
How long does a metal roof last?
A properly installed metal roof lasts for decades, well beyond the service life of a typical asphalt roof. Exact longevity depends on the system, the metal, and the quality of installation, which is why detailing and ventilation matter as much as the panel you choose. We install to manufacturer spec so your warranty coverage holds.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
Sometimes, but we rarely recommend it. Going over old shingles hides problems in the decking and can trap moisture. Our standard is to strip down to the deck, fix whatever we find, and install on a sound surface so the roof performs the way it should for its full life. We will show you what is under there during the inspection.
