Retrofit Standing Seam Metal Roofing is an important product for All-Star Roof Systems. While standing seam roofing systems have been used for generations, 138T and 238T panels feature technological advances in roofing that set a new standard for retrofit standing seam performance. As a result, we classify 138T and 238T systems as symmetrical standing seam systems and offer many advantages including patented recover solutions featuring the industry’s best method to recover existing metal or shingle roofs.
Above all, we provide steel standing seam metal roof systems with life expectancies of 40 years. Also, we’ve enhanced our performance and testing to ensure our products can meet the demands of Hurricane Force Winds. We also design our standing seam metal roof products to be installed to stay attached through even the most devastating of conditions.
In addition, the steel roofing systems we offer are all interlocking, non-exposed fastener systems. In other words, they provide the most protection for your home from the elements. Furthermore, these products are available in a variety of colors. We can typically install these systems over an existing composition roof. If you need to remove your old roof, we will see to it that it is recycled.
All of our products are manufactured in America because we support helping to build a healthy economy. While importing steel and aluminum from other countries can be less expensive, the quality is sometimes compromised.
