METALRoofing Systems
A Distinctive Roof Built Around Metal Panel Systems
Metal roofing requires more than installing panels. Roof edges, valleys, ridge details, wall transitions, penetrations and flashing all need to work together as part of the completed system. We build the scope around the selected metal profile and the design of the roof.
Standing Seam or Exposed Fastener?
Both are metal roofing systems, but they differ in appearance, fastening method, detailing and project cost.
Standing Seam
Concealed fastening, cleaner uninterrupted panel appearance, raised seams and a more premium architectural profile.
Exposed Fastener
Visible fasteners, corrugated/ribbed panel appearance and a straightforward metal roofing profile.
Metal Roofing Can Offer a Different Long-Term Approach
The right roofing material depends on the home, budget, design preferences and long-term goals. Metal roofing is often considered for its durability, appearance and roofing-system profile.
Metal creates a different architectural look than asphalt shingles and is available in multiple profiles and colors.
Properly installed metal panels create a strong exterior roofing surface designed for long-term weather exposure.
Choose between concealed-fastener standing seam and exposed-fastener corrugated profiles.
Panel color, ridge, rake and edge trims all contribute to the completed appearance of the home.
The Details Matter on Every Metal Roof
Metal panels are only one part of the system. The roof also requires properly planned trims and flashing at edges, penetrations and transitions.
Roof-edge trim helps complete the panel system at the eaves and supports a finished weather-resistant edge.
Rake trim finishes the sloped roof edges and is selected to match the metal roofing profile.
Ridge components complete the high point of the roof and must match the selected panel system.
Plumbing and mechanical penetrations require compatible flashing sized for the pipe and roofing profile.
Skylights require careful flashing transitions where the metal roofing meets the skylight curb or frame.
Changes in roof slope, wall intersections and other transitions require project-specific metal flashing details.
From Measurements to Finished Metal Roof
Metal roofing requires planning around panel lengths, trims, penetrations and the exact roof layout.
Roof Evaluation & Measurements
We review the roof layout, slopes, penetrations, edges and measurements needed for the selected system.
System & Color Selection
Choose standing seam or exposed-fastener metal, along with the available profile, finish and color options for the project.
Material Planning & Installation
Panels, trims and flashing components are coordinated for the roof design and installed according to the approved project scope.
Final Details & Review
Roof edges, penetrations, ridge components and jobsite cleanup are reviewed at project completion.
Metal Roofing With Attention to Trim & Flashing Details
A successful metal roof depends on the complete system, not only the panels. We plan the installation around roof geometry, penetrations and the specific metal system selected for the property.

Answers to common questions homeowners have when comparing metal roofing systems.
What is the difference between standing seam and exposed-fastener metal roofing?
Standing seam uses concealed fastening details and raised seams, creating a clean uninterrupted panel appearance. Exposed-fastener systems use visible screws through corrugated or ribbed metal panels.
Do you install corrugated metal roofing with exposed screws?
Yes. Oliva Construction offers corrugated and ribbed exposed-fastener metal roofing in addition to standing seam systems.
Can I replace an asphalt shingle roof with metal?
In many residential projects, metal roofing can be considered as the replacement system. The appropriate scope depends on the existing roof, roof deck, slope, design and selected metal profile.
Does a metal roof require special flashing around pipes and skylights?
Yes. Roof penetrations and skylights require flashing that is compatible with the selected metal system and sized for the specific penetration.
Can I choose the color of my metal roof?
Metal roof panels and trims are available in multiple colors and finishes. Available selections depend on the chosen manufacturer, profile and supplier.
Do you install metal roofs throughout the Colorado Springs area?
