Metal Roofing Installation
From classic corrugated to premium standing seam — we install all types of metal roofing built to handle Vermont's harshest seasons and designed to last for decades.
Metal Roofing Systems We Install
Every home is different. We'll help you choose the right metal roofing system for your property, budget, and the look you're going for.
Standing Seam Metal
The premium choice for Vermont homeowners who want maximum longevity and a clean, modern profile. Standing seam panels interlock at raised seams, keeping all fasteners concealed and eliminating the most common leak points found on exposed-fastener systems. Built to last 50 years or more.
Corrugated Metal
The time-tested classic — wave-profile metal panels that have protected Vermont homes, barns, and agricultural buildings for generations. Corrugated metal is durable, affordable, and increasingly popular on residential homes for its industrial-farmhouse aesthetic. Available in a full range of colors.
Metal Shingles & Tiles
The best of both worlds — the traditional look of asphalt shingles or slate tile with the longevity of metal. Metal shingles mimic the appearance of classic roofing materials while delivering far superior resistance to Vermont's ice, snow, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles.
R-Panel & Exposed Fastener
A cost-effective metal roofing option well-suited to garages, shops, commercial buildings, and accessory structures. R-panel systems install quickly and perform reliably — ideal when budget and speed are the priority without sacrificing quality.
High-Temp Underlayment — The Layer That Makes the Difference
Most roofing companies use standard felt or synthetic underlayment under metal panels. We don't. All-Star Contracting installs high-temperature underlayment on every metal roofing job — and it's one of the most important decisions we make for your home.
Metal roofs trap and amplify heat. On a hot Vermont summer day, the air pocket between a metal panel and the roof deck can reach temperatures that standard underlayments simply aren't rated for. Over time, that heat causes conventional underlayment to degrade, crack, and lose its waterproofing ability — leaving your roof deck exposed even though your metal panels look perfect from the outside.
High-temp underlayment is engineered specifically for metal roofing applications. It handles the elevated temperatures without breaking down, maintains its integrity through Vermont's full range of seasons, and provides a secondary waterproof barrier that protects your home even in the unlikely event that water finds its way past the panels. The result is a roofing system that performs at the highest level from the deck up — not just on the surface.
When you invest in a metal roof, you're investing in 50-plus years of protection. The underlayment beneath it should be built to match that lifespan. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every installation.
Why Metal Roofing Is the Right Call for Vermont
Vermont puts roofs through more punishment than most states. Heavy snow loads, ice dams, freeze-thaw cycles, spring wind events, and sub-zero winters take years off standard asphalt shingles. Most asphalt roofs in Vermont need replacement every 15–20 years. A quality metal roof installed correctly lasts 40 to 70 years — often for the life of the home.
Metal also handles snow differently. The smooth surface sheds accumulation faster than asphalt, reducing the static load on your structure and lowering the conditions that create ice dams. For Vermont homeowners, that alone can justify the investment.

Metal Roofing FAQ
How long does a metal roof last in Vermont?
A properly installed metal roof typically lasts 40 to 70 years depending on the system and material. Standing seam steel and aluminum systems regularly reach 50-plus years with minimal maintenance. That's two to three times the lifespan of a standard asphalt shingle roof in Vermont's climate.
Is metal roofing loud in the rain?
On a properly installed metal roof with solid sheathing and quality underlayment, rain noise is minimal — often no louder than a standard asphalt roof. The combination of the roof deck, underlayment, and any attic insulation absorbs sound effectively. Open structures like barns or sheds without insulation will amplify rain, but residential applications with solid decking are quiet.
Can metal roofing be installed over my existing shingles?
In many cases, yes — metal roofing can be installed over one existing layer of shingles, which eliminates the cost and waste of tear-off. We inspect your current roof structure and decking before making a recommendation. If the decking shows rot, moisture damage, or significant deterioration, a tear-off is the right call to ensure a proper substrate for the metal.
What's the difference between standing seam and corrugated metal?
Standing seam has raised interlocking seams where all fasteners are concealed beneath the panels — this eliminates the most common leak points and gives a clean, modern look. Corrugated metal uses visible fasteners that penetrate the panel surface and is more affordable. Both are durable and appropriate for Vermont; the right choice depends on your budget, aesthetic goals, and the building type.
