Project Overview

About This Project

The homeowner at this hillside property identified deteriorating roofing conditions requiring replacement. An inspection revealed widespread shingle aging, granule loss, and flashing wear consistent with prolonged UV exposure in San Diego County. Rather than continuing with asphalt shingles, the owner selected a standing seam metal roof system. The installation involved complete tear-off, deck preparation, high-performance underlayment, and concealed-fastener metal panels engineered for thermal movement and extended weather resistance in San Diego's climate.

Initial Assessment

Conditions Found

  • Curling shingles losing structural integrity across multiple slopes
  • Surface granule erosion exposing asphalt layers
  • Multiple previous minor repair patches
  • Early flashing deterioration near penetrations
  • Aging underlayment approaching end of service life

What We Used

Materials

  • Standing seam metal panels
  • Concealed fastening clip system
  • Synthetic waterproof underlayment
  • Pre-fabricated metal flashing
  • Corrosion-resistant hardware

How It Was Done

Installation Process

Every project follows a structured, supervised process — from site assessment to final walkthrough.

1
Complete Tear-Off
All shingles, underlayment, flashing, and fasteners removed down to the structural roof deck.
2
Deck Inspection & Reinforcement
Plywood deck evaluated; compromised sections replaced to create a stable base for metal installation.
3
Synthetic Underlayment
High-performance synthetic barrier installed across the full deck surface for secondary water protection.
4
Standing Seam Panel Installation
Custom-measured vertical panels secured using concealed clips, allowing for natural thermal expansion and contraction.
5
Flashing & Edge Detailing
Pre-formed metal components installed at all valleys, ridges, penetrations, and edges.
6
Ventilation Integration
Proper airflow components incorporated for heat management and long-term system performance.

Outcomes

Project Results

  • High wind resistance suitable for exposed hillside location
  • Extended service lifespan compared to asphalt shingles
  • Reduced rooftop heat absorption with reflective metal surface
  • Minimal long-term maintenance requirements
