Long-Lasting Protection That Reduces Energy Costs

Metal Roofing in Onalaska for homes and buildings seeking durability and heat reflection

Gilmore Roofing LLC installs metal roofing systems in Onalaska for homeowners and commercial property owners who want a roof that lasts decades with minimal maintenance. You may be replacing an aging shingle roof that requires frequent repairs, dealing with high cooling bills during summer, or preparing for storm season and wanting a roof that resists wind and hail. Metal roofing addresses all of these concerns by reflecting heat, fastening securely to resist uplift, and shedding water and debris quickly.

This service involves removing the existing roof if necessary, inspecting and repairing the decking, and installing a metal roofing system with underlayment, trim, and fasteners designed for long-term performance. Gilmore Roofing LLC offers a range of metal roofing options, including R-Panel systems, concealed fastener designs, and various panel profiles, along with metal shingles that mimic traditional roofing materials. Each panel is installed according to engineering specifications to ensure durability and long-term performance.

If you are considering metal roofing for your home or building, contact Gilmore Roofing LLC for a consultation to discuss styles, finishes, and installation options.

The process starts with a site assessment to measure the roof, check the existing structure, and confirm that it can support the weight of metal panels. You will review style and color options, and the crew will explain how the panels will be installed, how seams will be sealed, and what trim pieces are needed around edges and penetrations. Gilmore Roofing LLC provides a timeline based on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions.

During installation, old roofing is removed if required, and any damaged decking is replaced. Underlayment is installed to provide a secondary moisture barrier, and then metal panels are fastened in place, starting from one edge and working across. Exposed fastener systems use screws with rubber washers to seal penetrations. After the roof is complete, you will notice that rain runs off quickly, your attic stays cooler, and there are no lifted edges or gaps where wind can get under the material.

This service includes installation of all necessary flashing, ridge caps, and trim. It does not include removal of multiple layers of old roofing if structural limits are exceeded, though that will be identified during the initial assessment.

Answers to Common Metal Roofing Questions

Homeowners and property owners often want to know how metal roofing compares to other materials, what maintenance it requires, and how it performs in local weather conditions.

How long does a metal roof last?

Metal roofing typically lasts forty to sixty years, far longer than asphalt shingles, with minimal maintenance required.

What styles of metal roofing are available?

Metal shingles and tiles provide traditional aesthetics with metal durability, while we offer various applications including R-Panel, concealed fastener systems, and a range of metal panel profiles to suit different needs.

How does metal roofing reduce cooling costs?

Metal reflects solar heat rather than absorbing it, which keeps attic temperatures lower and reduces the load on your air conditioning system.

When is metal roofing the best choice?

It works well for homeowners who plan to stay long-term, those in storm-prone areas, and anyone looking to reduce maintenance and energy costs.
