When you choose Herman Exterior Homes for your metal roof, you’re choosing quality craftsmanship and a stress-free process from start to finish.
Here’s what to expect when working with us:
Professional Consultation: We’ll begin with a free, on-site roof assessment and consultation. Our team will visit your home in the Capital Region (Albany, Colonie, Guilderland, Latham, etc.) to evaluate your current roof and discuss your goals. Next, we’ll go through our available metal roofing options, including your ideal style and color, and answer all your questions. Finally, we’ll provide you with a transparent, detailed quote.
High-Quality Materials: Herman Exterior Homes installs only premium metal roofing materials from trusted manufacturers. We offer options in heavy-gauge steel and aluminum roofing with advanced protective coatings to prevent rust and corrosion. Engineered for longevity, these materials come with strong manufacturer warranties (often 30-50 years). Knowing you’ll be protected with maximum performance, all that’s left is for you to select the ideal material and color to complement your home’s look.
Expert Installation Crew: Metal roof installation is a specialized skill, and our crew has the experience to do it right. Highly trained in metal roofing techniques, our installation team will ensure proper underlayment is laid for moisture and noise control, precise panel alignment, and secure fastening. We also pay special attention to every flashing and seal to guarantee a leak-proof result. Our installers work efficiently but never cut corners and follow all New York State and Albany local building codes and safety regulations during installation.
Post-Installation Inspection & Warranty: Your satisfaction and peace of mind is our top priority. Upon completion, we’ll perform a detailed walk-through and inspection of the new roof with you and explain maintenance tips, ensuring every detail meets our high standards. We also go the extra mile: Herman Exterior Homes stands behind our work with a workmanship warranty.

Not all metal roofs are the same. Herman Exterior Homes installs a variety of metal roofing styles so you can choose the perfect look and performance for your home:

- No exposed fasteners means fewer chances of leaks
- Modern, architectural look with clean lines
- Handles heavy snow and high winds with ease
- Compatible with solar panel mounting systems and snow guards
Standing seam roofs are ideal if you’re looking for a premium, low-maintenance roof with a strong curb appeal and high performance in Upstate New York’s various types of weather.
Rugged Charm. Budget-Friendly Performance.
Corrugated metal roofing, often recognized by its classic “wavy” or ribbed profile, is a strong, reliable option if you’re looking for the benefits of metal at a more accessible price point. This system uses overlapping panels secured with exposed screws fitted with sealing washers to prevent leaks.
Unlike shingles that can blow off your roof or degrade in harsh weather, metal roofs are engineered to thrive in Upstate New York's brutal winters. Rather than sticking to the roof like it could with shingles, snow slides quickly off metal roofs, preventing ice dams, water intrusion, and structural weight issues.
Our metal roofs are also equipped with wind ratings of up to 140+ mph so they won’t shift, lift, or tear like shingles might during Capital Region nor'easters.
Since metal doesn’t absorb water, it doesn't rot, warp, grow mold, or lose granules. As a result, there’s no “weathering curve” like there is with shingles. While an asphalt roof slowly loses integrity from year one, metal roofs maintain their structure and weather resistance for decades without drying out or becoming brittle.
What’s Different: Shingles are organic or fiberglass-based. They age, fade, curl, and crack while metal stays structurally sound for 40–70+ years.
Yes, a metal roof can last 2–3× longer than shingles, but the value goes far beyond that. Most homeowners with metal roofs never need to re-roof again! And since maintenance is virtually nonexistent, you’re not stuck repairing or replacing cracked shingles or resealing weak spots every few years.
Call us today.Not at all! A properly installed metal roof is no louder than any other roofing material. It sits on solid roof decking with underlayment and insulation below for optimal sound dampening. Most of our customers say they either don’t notice a difference or actually enjoy the light sound during heavy rain.
Nope! Metal roofs don’t draw heat away from your home. With proper attic insulation and ventilation, a metal roof performs just as well (or even better) than shingles in cold weather. It also sheds snow faster, helping to prevent ice dams.
For many homeowners, absolutely. While metal roofs cost more upfront, they last 2–3 times longer than shingles and require far less maintenance. Over 30–50+ years, you’ll most likely only need one metal roof compared to having to replace an asphalt roof two or three times over the period. Another bonus? They also help improve home resale value.
Not when installed properly! Modern metal roofing uses galvanized or galvalume steel and protective rust-resistant paint coatings. And aluminum roofing won’t rust at all! We also include touch-up kits to protect any surface scratches from installation or future damage.
For you, this not only assures a high-quality installation but also qualifies you for CertainTeed’s extended warranty programs (SureStart PLUS). Only available through certified contractors like us, it’s part of our commitment to provide the best roofing value to our Albany area customers.
