Direct Answer
What Does a Metal Roofing Company Do?
Long-Lasting Metal Roofs Built for Northeast Weather
A metal roofing company evaluates your existing roof, recommends the right system for your home’s architecture and climate exposure, and installs the complete assembly — deck prep, underlayment, panels or shingles, flashing, vents, trim, and guttering transitions. The best contractors also help you navigate manufacturer warranties, financing options, and design decisions like color, finish, and profile.
In New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where freeze-thaw cycles, summer humidity, and nor’easters test roofing systems year after year, choosing the right metal roofing contractor matters as much as choosing the right product. Exteriors by Global Home brings both to every project.
Core Service
Expert Metal Roof Installation for Homes & Commercial Buildings
Metal is one of the most durable and versatile roofing materials available, giving homeowners a long-lasting alternative to asphalt shingles. A properly installed metal roof can last 40–70 years, reflect heat, resist fire and impact, shed water efficiently, and maintain its color and appearance for decades.
Exteriors by Global Home installs premium EDCO, Drexel Metals, and DECRA roofing systems designed for NJ and PA weather. Since 2001, our crews have handled every detail of the metal roof installation process — roof inspection, deck assessment, underlayment, panel or shingle installation, flashing, trim, and final warranty documentation.
Why metal roofing
Why Choose a Metal Roof?
A beautiful metal roof starts with the visible profile, but it succeeds because the hidden details are done correctly. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, nor’easters, snow, and storm exposure test every roof, a properly installed metal roofing system can last 40–70 years while improving energy efficiency, resale value, warranty protection, and long-term durability.
Exteriors by Global Home installs EDCO, DECRA, and Drexel Metals roofing systems with the full assembly in mind — roof deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, trim, ventilation, panel or shingle installation, and final warranty documentation. The result is not just a better-looking roof, but a complete roofing system built to outperform asphalt shingles through multiple replacement cycles.
Lasts 40–70 Years in NJ & PA Climates
Architectural asphalt shingles often need replacement every 12–20 years under Northeast freeze-thaw stress. A properly installed EDCO, DECRA, or Drexel Metals roof can outlast two or three asphalt roof cycles, often becoming the last roof a family needs.
Reflects Heat and Lowers Cooling Costs
Energy Star–rated metal roofing finishes reflect solar energy instead of absorbing it. With proper attic ventilation, metal roofing can reduce summer cooling demand and improve home comfort in Mid-Atlantic climates.
Built for Harsh Northeast Weather
Premium metal roofing systems are built for harsh NJ and PA weather. Many options offer Class 4 impact resistance, Class A fire ratings, strong wind uplift performance, and better snow shedding to help reduce risks from hail, ice dams, storms, and nor’easters.
Protects Long-Term Home Value
Metal roofing can improve curb appeal, reduce lifetime maintenance, support higher resale value, and may qualify for homeowners insurance discounts depending on the carrier and product rating. GHI installs systems backed by 30- to 50-year manufacturer warranties and a Platinum Plus lifetime labor warranty.

Metal vs Asphalt
Benefits of Metal Roofing vs. Asphalt Shingles
Metal roofing and asphalt shingles can both protect a home, but they solve different priorities. Metal usually wins on longevity, energy reflection, and design impact; asphalt usually wins on lower first cost.
| Factor | Metal roofing | Asphalt shingles |
|---|---|---|
| Expected service life | Often lasts several decades when professionally installed and maintained. | Typically requires replacement sooner, often every 10 to 20 years depending on product and conditions. |
| Curb appeal | Available in standing seam, shingle, slate, and tile profiles with strong architectural impact. | Familiar look with many color options, but less dramatic design flexibility. |
| Energy efficiency | Reflective surfaces can reduce heat gain and support cooling efficiency. | Generally absorbs more heat unless using specialized cool-roof shingle options. |
| Weather resistance | Quality systems are designed for wind, hail, heavy snow, and severe weather exposure. | Performs well when new, but granule loss, curling, and wind damage can develop over time. |
| Upfront cost | Higher initial investment in most cases. | Lower upfront investment in most cases. |
| Long-term value | Higher upfront cost can be offset by longevity, reduced replacement frequency, and curb appeal. | Lower first cost, but future reroofing cycles may add up over time. |

Are Metal Roofs Noisy?
When installed with proper sheathing and insulation, a metal roof can perform quietly during rain or hail.

Style Guide
How to Choose the Right Metal Roof Style
Metal roofing should match the architecture of the home as much as the performance requirements of the roof.
| Metal roof style | Best fit | Design signal | Key consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standing seam metal roofing | Modern homes, contemporary exteriors, low-slope friendly rooflines where appropriate. | Clean vertical lines and a premium architectural look. | Color, panel width, trim detail, and flashing quality shape the final appearance. |
| Metal shingle roofing | Homes where the owner wants familiar shingle character with longer-lasting material. | Dimensional shingle appearance with stronger durability. | Great bridge option when standing seam feels too modern. |
| Metal slate roofing | Traditional homes, premium neighborhoods, and slate-inspired designs. | Classic upscale look without the same weight as natural slate. | Profile, color blend, and roof geometry should be selected carefully. |
| Metal tile roofing | Spanish, Mediterranean, and high-character exterior styles. | Bold tile profile with the performance of metal. | Works best when the rest of the exterior supports the architectural style. |

Cost Factors
How Much Does a Metal Roof Cost in NJ & PA?
Metal roof cost depends on the roof size, roof shape, material style, existing roof removal, underlayment, trim, flashing, finish, and warranty package.
The best way to price a metal roof is through an in-home consultation because roof geometry and hidden deck conditions can vary significantly.
| Cost Factor | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Roof size and complexity | A larger roof, multiple roof planes, dormers, valleys, skylights, chimneys, and steep slopes increase labor and material. |
| Metal roof style | Standing seam, metal shingles, metal slate, and metal tile differ in product cost, labor, trim, and detail work. |
| Existing roof removal | Tear-off, disposal, damaged decking, and hidden issues can change the final scope. |
| Underlayment and flashing | Quality underlayment, flashing, vents, edges, and penetrations are central to long-term performance. |
| Color, coating, and finish | Premium colors, finishes, and manufacturer systems can affect cost and warranty coverage. |
| Warranty package | Longer or stronger workmanship and manufacturer coverage can influence product selection and project value. |
