Superior Protection with Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective Metal Solutions
Metal roofing systems are a top choice for commercial properties – including barns and agricultural facilities — and it’s easy to see why. These systems offer unmatched durability and are capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, strong winds, and even hail. Their robust nature translates to a longer lifespan than traditional roofing materials, making them a cost-effective solution.
Also, metal roofs are highly energy-efficient, reflecting sunlight to reduce heat absorption and lower cooling costs during hot weather. They are also environmentally friendly, as many metal roofing systems are made from recycled materials and can be fully recycled at the end of their use. With minimal maintenance requirements and a sleek modern appearance, metal roofs enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of a commercial property.
At Great Lakes Commercial Roofing, we take pride in delivering expertly installed metal roofing systems tailored to meet your business’s needs. Reach out today to explore your options!
Why Choose Metal Roofing for Your Business?
Metal roofing is an excellent option for business owners seeking durability, affordability, and long-term performance. Known for its resilience, metal roofing can withstand extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, and strong winds, making it ideal for commercial buildings in varied climates.
Often lasting 40–70 years with minimal maintenance, this reliability helps reduce the need for frequent repairs or replacements, saving business owners considerable time and money. While the upfront cost of metal roofing may be higher than some alternatives, its energy efficiency, which helps regulate indoor temperatures, and lower long-term repair costs make it a cost-effective investment.
Additionally, metal roofs are eco-friendly, as they are often made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable at the end of their lifespan. These factors combine to make metal roofing a wise, sustainable, and efficient solution for commercial properties.
Key Advantages That Set Metal Roofing Apart
- Durability: Metal roofs outperform traditional asphalt shingle and flat roofing systems regarding durability. While asphalt roofs typically last 15–20 years and flat roofs around 20–30 years, metal roofing systems can endure 40–70 years with minimal maintenance.
- Weather Resistance: Unlike EPDM and TPO roofing systems, which may become compromised under intense weather conditions, metal roofs resist heavy rain, winds, snow, and hail, making them suitable for extreme climates.
- Energy Efficiency: Compared to membrane roofing options, metal roofs excel in energy efficiency due to their reflective surfaces. This helps reduce cooling costs.
- Eco-Friendliness: While many commercial roofing systems rely on synthetic or less sustainable materials, metal roofs are often made from recycled materials and can be fully recycled at the end of their life.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Despite a higher initial cost than asphalt or membrane systems like PVC, metal roofs save on repairs and replacements over time, making them a smart long-term investment.

Maximizing the Lifespan of Your Metal Roof
A metal roof is a popular choice for commercial businesses due to its exceptional durability and long lifespan, ranging from 40 to 70 years, with proper care. The longevity of a metal roof depends on several factors, including the quality of installation, environmental conditions, and the type of metal used—options such as steel, aluminum, or copper each have unique properties.
Regular maintenance is crucial to preserving the roof’s integrity and performance over time. Common practices include removing debris like leaves or branches to prevent blockages in drainage systems and minimizing surface damage. Periodic inspections, ideally conducted twice annually, can uncover potential problems like rust, loose fasteners, or damaged seals before they escalate.
Cleaning the roof and addressing standing water are other critical steps to prevent corrosion or leaks. Businesses can also enhance protection by applying coatings or sealants designed to withstand extreme weather. With consistent care, a metal roof remains a durable, cost-effective solution for years to come.
Warning Signs Your Commercial Metal Roof Needs Replacement
Keeping your commercial roof in optimal condition is crucial to protecting your business and avoiding expensive repairs. Here are key signs that it might be time for a replacement:
- Visible Wear and Tear: Cracked, blistered, or missing materials like shingles and flashing indicate aging or damage that might compromise the roof’s integrity.
- Persistent Leaks: Frequent water stains, pooling, or dripping inside your building suggest the roof’s waterproofing layer may be failing.
- Sagging Areas: A sagging roof is a serious structural concern that needs immediate attention, as it can indicate compromised support.
- High Energy Bills: Deteriorating roofing materials can reduce insulation, leading to fluctuating indoor temperatures and larger energy costs.
- Exceeding Lifespan: Most commercial roofs have a defined lifespan; if yours is approaching or past it, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs.

The guys from Great Lakes commercial roofing LLC were extremely professional. Kenneth came out and was extremely informative and knowledgeable in regards to roofing.

E Frogwell
When it comes to a company that will get the job done right you have to go with Great Lakes Commercial Roofing. Zac is easy to work with and very knowledgeable about many different products and options. Don’t make the mistake I did and call a contractor that is mainly a residential roofer to look at your industrial roof unless you like wasting money
Tom Havacheck
Great company to work with! I have a building in Pennsylvania but live in another state. My roof was leaking and Zac was sent out and did the inspection on the roof. When he was at the building he called and sent me a link to live pictures
Jason Bakus
These guys are awsome. Great job from start to finish. Did our large commercial catering hall. Always available if we have a question or concern. Roof looks great and best of all. No more leeks. Defiantly recommend

Barb Goliad
I called Great Lakes Commercial Roofing to come check out my building. I had a company put silicone roof coating on it 5 years ago and since day one it never stopped the leaking problems, the other company came out 5 times to “fix the problem” but never did. Zac came out and evaluated my problem and gave me a ton of information on the best solution to fix the problem.
