Why owners choose metal here
- Strong wind resistance when fastened correctly
- Noncombustible — a plus near junipers and piñon
- Snow slides off rather than sitting on the roof
- Long life with little upkeep
- Works on homes, barns, horse shelters and shops
Panel options
Standing seam
Hidden fasteners and raised seams. The premium choice for homes.
Screw-down panels
Exposed fasteners, lower cost. Common on barns, shops and some homes.
Colors and covenants
Many Placitas subdivisions guide roof colors so homes blend into the landscape. Earth tones, bronzes and muted greens are common. Check your covenants before choosing. See covenants and architectural review.
Materials
We source panels and trim from New Mexico suppliers including Metal Center.
Existing metal roof?
If the panels are sound, sealing fasteners and seams with a coating may be all it needs. See metal barn and shop roofs.

Common questions
Is metal loud in rain or hail?
With solid decking and underlayment, most homeowners find it no louder than other roofs.
Can metal go on a flat roof?
Metal needs some slope. Flat roofs use foam, coatings or membranes instead.
Does hail dent metal?
Large hail can leave cosmetic dents. Heavier gauges and some profiles resist it better.
