Roofing That Outlasts the Weather

Ruby Construction installs metal roofing systems built for longevity and storm resistance in Kansas City.

Metal roofing handles Kansas City's weather better than most alternatives. Hail that dents cars and shatters skylights leaves metal panels intact. High winds that strip asphalt shingles off neighboring homes do not pull properly fastened metal loose. Heavy rain that finds its way under worn shingles runs cleanly off metal seams without pooling or seeping through. If you want a roof that requires minimal maintenance and performs reliably for decades, metal is worth considering.

Ruby Construction installs metal roofing systems designed for energy efficiency, storm resistance, and long-term durability in the Kansas City climate. These roofs are frequently chosen for modern homes, rural properties, and situations where low maintenance and longevity matter more than initial cost. Proper fastening and ventilation techniques reduce noise during rain and limit heat transfer into your attic, which keeps your home quieter and cooler in summer. The service is suitable for residential properties and select commercial buildings across the area.

If you are planning a roof replacement and want to compare metal options with traditional materials, Ruby Construction offers consultations to review style, color, and performance details for your Kansas City property.

How Metal Roofing Installation Works

Installation begins with removing your existing roof and inspecting the deck for damage in Kansas City. Once the surface is prepared, a high-quality underlayment is applied, followed by metal panels that are fastened with concealed or exposed screws depending on the system you choose. Flashing is custom-formed to fit valleys, chimneys, and roof edges, which prevents water from entering at vulnerable points.

After installation, you will notice that rain sounds different but not disruptive, especially if insulation or attic space dampens the noise. Your cooling costs may drop during summer because metal reflects more heat than asphalt absorbs. The roof will stay cleaner longer since debris slides off more easily, and you will not see granules washing into your gutters after storms. Metal roofs perform well against hail, high winds, and heavy rain.

Ruby Construction uses fastening methods that allow panels to expand and contract with temperature changes without loosening or warping. Ventilation is designed to prevent condensation buildup under the metal, which protects your roof deck and insulation. This service does not include structural modifications to increase roof pitch or support load, but those requirements are identified during the estimate if they apply to your home.

Questions You Might Be Wondering About

Homeowners often ask about noise, appearance, and whether metal roofing is compatible with their home's design and insulation setup.

How loud is metal roofing during a rainstorm?
You will hear rain more than with asphalt, but proper underlayment and attic insulation reduce the sound significantly. Most homeowners describe it as noticeable but not bothersome.
What metal roofing styles are available?
Ruby Construction installs standing seam panels for a modern look and exposed fastener panels for a more traditional or rural appearance. Color options include neutrals, earth tones, and metallics that match Kansas City architectural styles.
How long does a metal roof last compared to asphalt?
Metal roofing typically lasts 40 to 70 years depending on material and maintenance, which is roughly double the lifespan of asphalt. You may never need to replace it again if installed correctly.
Will metal roofing work on a low-slope roof?
Standing seam metal is suitable for lower slopes because the raised seams and interlocking panels prevent water infiltration. Ruby Construction evaluates your roof pitch during the consultation to confirm compatibility.
Does metal roofing affect my home's resale value?
Metal roofing is often seen as an upgrade because of its longevity and low maintenance, which appeals to buyers looking for homes that require less upkeep. It is especially valued in rural and storm-prone areas around Kansas City.
