Metal Roof Installation for Custom & Architectural Projects
Metal roof installation on custom and architectural projects requires precision planning that starts well before the first panel goes on the roof. As the material expands and contracts with temperature, every panel has to be measured and cut to fit your structure exactly.
Huber & Associates is a metal roofing installation company with 50 years of experience. Our team handles projects for custom homes, historic buildings, and complex commercial structures throughout the United States and internationally.

Expert Metal Roof Installation for Residential & Commercial Projects
Custom residential and commercial metal roof installation is different from standard builds. Steep pitches, curved rooflines, multiple dormers, and mixed-material transitions add complexity that general contractors may not be trained to handle.
When installed by an experienced metal roof contractor, these systems do more than protect the structure.
Residential Metal Roof Installation
We install metal roofing systems on custom homes, private estates, and historic residences where the original roofline and architectural character need to be preserved. On older structures, irregular framing and period-appropriate profiles require coordination with preservation teams.
Commercial Metal Roof Installation
Our portfolio includes projects for churches, hotels, office complexes, and institutional facilities. These projects feature larger roof planes, stricter code requirements, and tighter coordination among trades.
We've completed installations on the Biltmore Estate and the Circular Congregational Church in Charleston, SC, with a higher caliber of work that sets the standard for every project we take on.
Our Metal Roofing Installation Process
Every metal roofing installation follows a structured sequence adapted to your building.
-
1. Project Planning & Design
We begin by evaluating your roof structure and identifying areas that need our attention.
-
2. Material Selection
Based on the building's design and environmental exposure, we source copper, stainless steel, aluminum, zinc, or specialty metals.
-
3. Structural Preparation
We inspect the substrate, install underlayment, and address ventilation before any metal goes on your roof.
-
4. Custom Fabrication
Panels, flashings, ridge caps, and trim are fabricated to the exact dimensions and profiles of your project.
-
5. Precision Installation
Each component is fitted and fastened to manufacturer specifications, verifying tolerances at every seam and connection.
-
6. Final Inspection
We walk the completed roof, test critical junctions, and verify watertight integrity before the project closes.
Metal Roofing Applications
Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Concealed fasteners and clean vertical lines give standing seam a sharp, uninterrupted profile that works with modern and traditional architecture.
Custom Architectural Metal Roofs
We design and fabricate custom systems matched to your architect's specifications for projects with non-standard profiles or historically accurate reproductions.
Types of Metal Roofs We Install
Huber & Associates installs metal roofing systems suited to different architectural styles and performance requirements.
Aluminum Roofing Systems
Aluminum is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it a practical choice for coastal properties, and traditional homes.
Stainless Steel Roofing
Higher quality than aluminum, stainless steel handles temperature extremes and heavy weather without corroding – a strong option for commercial and institutional buildings with long service demands.
Copper Roofing
The premier choice in metal roofing, copper is noted for its gorgeous finish that eventually fades to browns and finally green with its natural protective patina, all while being extremely durable and long-lasting. Used for high-end homes, commercial properties and most commonly on historically significant properties.
Benefits of Professional Metal Roof Installation
A properly installed metal roof outperforms conventional roofing materials on every measure that matters to a building owner.
Durability: Aluminum and steel roofs last 50 years or more, and copper and zinc systems can exceed 100 years with proper installation.
Weather Resistance: Metal roofing withstands winds up to 140 mph and is fire-resistant, making it a practical choice for regions with severe weather.
Energy Efficiency: Metal reflects solar heat and reduces cooling costs, especially when ventilation is correctly addressed during installation.
Low Maintenance: Metal roofs require minimal upkeep once installed correctly, outlasting tile, slate, and asphalt systems with far less routine attention.
Your roof's long-term performance depends on how the metal roofing installation is executed. The metal roofing installer's experience is as critical as the material specification.
