Frequently Asked Questions

Our 29-Gauge AG Panels are a cost-effective, durable solution primarily used in residential and agricultural projects. They feature a deep-channel anti-siphon rib to prevent leaks and five 3/4″ major ribs.

Our 26-Gauge PBR Panels are the heavy-duty standard for commercial, industrial, and residential builds. Made of thicker steel, they feature 1-1/4″ trapezoidal ribs and a purlin-bearing leg that provides an extra weather-tight barrier against high winds and moisture. Both offer a 36-inch coverage width.

This is a common myth based on the sound rain makes on old open-frame barns. Residential metal roofs are installed over a solid roof deck and underlayment, which dampens the noise. A residential metal roof is no more or less noisy than a traditional asphalt shingle roof.

Yes. Both our 29-Gauge AG Panels and 26-Gauge PBR Panels can be installed directly over existing asphalt shingles. Since our metal panels are lightweight (AG panels average just 1.96 lbs per linear foot), installing over existing shingles is an ideal, cost-effective solution for re-roofing projects that saves you the hassle of a full tear-off.

We proudly utilize 100% American-made steel, specifically from Steel Dynamics (SDI), for our roofing and siding panels. Choosing USA-made AZ50 Galvalume® steel ensures our products adhere to the most rigorous quality control standards in the world for exceptional strength and consistency, while also supporting local jobs and reducing shipping lead times.

Yes, we precision-fabricate custom metal trim right here in our Tucson shop to perfectly seal and finish your building. Our trim is manufactured from durable 26-gauge steel, sold in standard 10’4″ sections, and is available in colors that seamlessly match your metal panels.

Our Value-Engineered Inventory includes factory seconds, custom miscuts, and overstock materials. It provides the same USA-made structural strength at a heavily reduced price point. Because these are deeply discounted, they are sold strictly “As-Is” and may contain cosmetic blemishes; they are final sale and do not come with a warranty. They are perfect for sheds, privacy fencing, or raised garden beds
