STEP 1
Structural Assessment and Panel Layout
We verify your roof framing can support the metal system, calculate thermal movement requirements, and design panel layouts that minimize waste while maintaining proper overlap and drainage patterns.

Metal Roof Installation and Repair Specialists
Bakersfield Expert Roofing offers professional metal roof installation and repair in Bakersfield, CA with over 20 years of experience handling residential and commercial roofing projects.
Metal roofing delivers the highest durability-to-weight ratio of any residential or commercial roofing material available today. We install standing seam, corrugated panel, and metal tile systems in steel and aluminum with Kynar 500 fluoropolymer finishes that resist fading, chalking, and corrosion. Our installation methods include concealed fastener systems that eliminate exposed penetration points and accommodate thermal expansion across panel runs — critical for roofs that cycle through significant daily temperature swings.
Standing Seam Panel Systems
Our standing seam installations use mechanically seamed or snap-lock panels with concealed clip fastening that allows each panel to expand and contract independently. This eliminates the oil-canning, fastener back-out, and seal failures common with exposed-fastener metal roofs.
Metal Roof Installation and Repair Process
STEP 2
Underlayment and Trim Installation
High-temperature synthetic underlayment is installed over the deck, followed by eave drip edge, gable trim, and valley flashing. These components must be in place before panels are run to ensure proper water shedding at every transition.
STEP 3
Panel Installation and Ridge Closure
Panels are fastened with floating clips at engineered spacing, seamed or locked at every joint, and terminated with vented ridge caps that maintain attic airflow while sealing against wind-driven rain.
Fire and Wind Resistance
Metal roofing earns Class A fire ratings required in California's Wildland-Urban Interface zones and withstands wind speeds exceeding 140 mph when properly fastened. We engineer clip spacing and panel gauge based on your property's specific wind exposure zone per Kern County building code.

Metal Roof Installation and Repair FAQs
How long does a metal roof typically last?
Properly installed metal roofs commonly deliver multi-decade service life, often outlasting asphalt systems in high-heat climates like Bakersfield.
Do metal roofs increase noise during rain?
With correct underlayment and attic insulation, interior sound is typically comparable to other roofing systems and not a practical issue for most homes.
Can damaged metal panels be repaired without full replacement?
Yes. Localized issues such as loose fasteners, seam problems, and select panel damage can often be repaired when surrounding sections are still in good condition.
