- Low-Maintenance Strength— With a high-quality weather coating, it will normally only need an inspection twice a year, and if repairs are needed, it is usually a much simpler process than with other types of roofing materials. They stand up to Michigan rain, snow, hail, wind, moisture and heat.
- Long Life — A metal roof is a lasting investment, often having a life span that rivals the building itself.
- Energy Efficiency — A reflective metal roof can reduce your cooling costs significantly.
- Fire Safety — Metal roofs are among the most fire-resistant options, making it simple to comply with fire codes and providing peace of mind.
- Design Flexibility — A metal roof can give your building a distinctive, modern aesthetic. But if you want to achieve a more classic look, we can also design your metal roof to look like slate or shingles. At Schena Roofing we provide in-house fabrication, so we can customize the color and design to achieve the look you want. If your building has skylights, lots of vents, cupolas or other complex design features, a metal roof is also a great choice to minimize issues like leaks.
- Sustainability — In addition to being energy efficient, metal roofing can be made from recycled materials, and unlike asphalt shingles, metal roofs are completely recyclable.

Frequently asked questions
What are the advantages of a metal roof for a commercial building?
- Long lifespan: 40–60+ years with proper maintenance
- Durability: Resistant to hail, wind, fire, and freeze-thaw cycles
- Energy efficiency: Reflective coatings reduce cooling costs
- Low maintenance: Fewer repairs over time compared to membrane systems
- Environmentally friendly: Recyclable materials, may qualify for LEED credits
Is a metal commercial roof noisy in rain or hail?
Not if properly insulated.
Modern commercial installs include rigid insulation and sound-deadening underlayment that minimize noise to levels comparable with membrane roofs.
What types of metal roofing systems are used commercially?
- Standing seam metal roof (most common): Interlocking panels with concealed fasteners
- Exposed fastener panels: More economical, but less watertight
- Metal shingles or tiles: Less common, more aesthetic
- Corrugated or ribbed panels: Often used in agricultural or warehouse settings
Does a commercial metal roof need insulation or underlayment?
Yes. Rigid board insulation is usually installed below the panels to meet energy codes and reduce condensation.
Underlayments help with waterproofing and thermal performance.
In colder climates like Michigan, a vapor barrier and snow retention systems may also be recommended.
