Premium Protection for Your Home

Durable, energy-efficient roofing that lasts decades. Professional installation by Minnesota's metal roofing experts.

Why Choose Standing Seam Metal Roofing?

Standing seam metal roofing represents the premium tier of metal roofing systems, offering unmatched durability and energy efficiency. Unlike traditional asphalt shingles that need replacement every 15-20 years, a properly installed standing seam roof can last 50+ years with minimal maintenance.

At Midwest Exteriors, we specialize in standing seam installation that combines superior materials with expert craftsmanship, giving you a roof that protects your investment for decades to come. We promise to provide you quality without question.

What Makes Standing Seam Different?

Continuous Panel Design: Standing seam panels run continuously from ridge to eave without horizontal joints, creating a sleek appearance and superior weather protection.

Concealed Fasteners: Unlike exposed fastener systems, standing seam uses hidden clips that eliminate potential leak points and maintain clean lines.

Thermal Movement Accommodation: The panel design allows for natural expansion and contraction, preventing stress-related failures common in other roofing systems.
