Potentially, depending on the condition of your decking. So long as the wood is in good condition at the time of inspection and an underlayment is used, an exposed fastener metal roof can be installed successfully over existing shingles.

What materials does Equity Roofing use for exposed fastener metal roofs?

For exposed fastener metal roofs, Equity Roofing uses Tuff-rib panels from Premex, Pro Appearance panels from Kyfus, and Pro-Z Fasteners.

What is Pro Appearance metal?

Pro Appearance metal panels are a type of exposed fastener metal roofing panel designed for strong curb appeal and long-lasting durability at a lower cost than standing seam. When paired with Pro-Z Fasteners, they deliver much of the high-end look and performance of pricier systems at a fraction of the cost. Equity Roofing uses Pro Appearance panels from Kyfus alongside Tuff-rib panels and Pro-Z Fasteners, providing a 50-year warranty and weather-resistant performance.

What are Pro-Z Fasteners?

Pro-Z Fasteners are high-performance roofing screws designed for exposed-fastener metal roofs. They feature a full metal cap that shields the gasket from UV damage, a zinc-aluminum alloy cap for superior rust resistance, a built-in stop mechanism to prevent over-driving, and a 50-year material warranty against rusting and leaks.

Will a metal roof dent easily?

Metal roofs with quality material, such as high tensile steel, don't usually dent easily. Lower-grade metal or thinner panels are more prone to dents.

What is oil canning and can it be prevented?

Oil canning is a waviness or rippling that can appear in flat metal panels. It is purely cosmetic and does not impact performance. It can be caused by thermal expansion, fastening too tightly, uneven roof decks, thin metal panels, dark or shiny paint colors, or manufacturing issues. It is never 100% preventable, but steps can be taken to reduce its likelihood and appearance.

Will a metal roof lower my insurance or energy bill?

Most insurers offer discounts for metal roofing. Homeowners can also invest in an optional upgrade with reflective underlayment, which can provide modest energy savings on cooling costs.
