As Seen on TV: High-End Craftsmanship for Louisville Homes
American Roofing and Metal was honored to be the featured roofing specialist for an episode of the home improvement show Fix It & Finish It. Working alongside the team at Stacye Love Construction, we helped the Mahoney family in Louisville revitalize their home with a specialized porch restoration.
Our contribution to the project was the installation of a Standing Seam Metal Roof. While many homeowners recognize metal roofs for their industrial durability, this project highlighted their incredible versatility for residential accents and porches.
Why Standing Seam Metal?
For this specific Louisville home, standing seam was selected for three primary reasons:
- Weather-Tight Integrity: Unlike traditional shingles, standing seam panels feature “concealed fasteners.” This means there are no exposed screws or holes on the surface of the roof, virtually eliminating the risk of leaks over time.
- Architectural Accent: Metal roofing provides a crisp, modern line that complements both historic and contemporary Louisville architecture. It’s a popular choice for porches because it adds a premium “finished” look to the home’s profile.
- Low Maintenance: Metal roofs are resistant to the moss and algae growth often found on shaded porches in the humid Ohio Valley climate.
A Legacy of Collaborative Success
While this project was captured for a national television audience, the “Love What You Do” philosophy we brought to the set is the same approach we take for every client. Collaborative projects like this allow our team to demonstrate our ability to work seamlessly with general contractors and designers to meet tight production schedules without compromising on quality.
Metal Roofing FAQs
Is a metal roof louder in the rain? When installed over a solid deck with proper underlayment, as we do for all our residential projects in Louisville and Cincinnati, a metal roof is no louder than a traditional asphalt shingle roof.
What are the lifespan expectations for standing seam metal? A professionally installed standing seam metal roof can last 50 years or more. Because the fasteners are protected from the elements, it requires significantly less maintenance than “exposed fastener” metal systems.
