Commercial Metal Roofing Contractors in the Bay Area
Metal Building Company installs commercial and industrial metal roofing systems for existing buildings and new construction. Since 1976, our work has included metal roof panels, flashing, trim, drainage components, and details that must work together to keep a building weather-resistant.
We work with building owners, general contractors, and property managers on roofing projects that require practical coordination around access, material selection, project schedules, and occupied facilities.
Tell us your building location, the roof system you have or want, and whether the project involves new installation, replacement, or repair.

Commercial Metal Roofing Services
Different buildings call for different roof assemblies. We evaluate the structure, roof slope, drainage, penetrations, and operating requirements before narrowing the options.
New Metal Roof Installation
Coordinating metal roofing with the supporting structure, insulation, flashing, penetrations, and drainage on new commercial or industrial projects.
Metal Roof Replacement
Assessing existing roof conditions, removal or replacement needs, material compatibility, and construction access before preparing a scope.
Metal Roof Repair
Investigating leaks, fasteners, flashing, damaged panels, skylight transitions, and drainage problems to determine whether targeted repair is appropriate.
Which Metal Roof System Fits Your Building?
Material and panel choices should start with the building, not a product brochure. Roof slope, anticipated movement, environmental exposure, the supporting structure, and the budget all influence what makes sense.
- Standing seam roofing: Concealed-fastener systems that may suit projects requiring controlled water shedding and thermal movement; suitable slopes depend on the specified system.
- Exposed-fastener panels: Common in industrial applications, with performance depending on the panel, slope, fastening, and maintenance conditions.
- Insulated assemblies: Insulation and moisture-control details selected to meet project performance and code requirements.
- Flashing and penetrations: Roof edges, transitions, curbs, skylights, and drainage need to be coordinated with the chosen system.

How We Plan a Commercial Roofing Project
- Understand the job. Review the building location, roof history, intended work, operating constraints, and available plans.
- Assess existing conditions. For replacement or repair, review roof panels, joints, flashings, substrate and drainage as relevant to the project.
- Define the scope. Identify the roof system, proposed details, material needs, access requirements, and any engineering or permit coordination.
- Schedule and coordinate. Plan delivery, staging, site access, and work around other trades or building operations where possible.
- Review completion. Confirm scope items and identify any maintenance or inspection recommendations for the owner.
What to Look for in a Metal Roofing Contractor
When comparing commercial roofing bids, ask each contractor to identify the exact roof assembly and what the price includes. A low bid is hard to evaluate if it leaves out flashing, drainage changes, roof accessories, or the work needed to prepare an existing structure.
- Experience with your roof type and building use
- Project-specific material and panel specifications
- How penetrations, roof edges, and drainage are handled
- Who is responsible for engineering, permits, and inspections when needed
- Material warranties versus workmanship warranties
- Expected access, staging, and scheduling requirements

Metal Roofing Contractor FAQs
Do you install metal roofing on existing commercial buildings?
Yes. Existing-roof projects begin with a review of roof conditions, the supporting assembly, access, and the proposed scope. Repair and replacement options depend on what the assessment finds.
What is the difference between standing seam and exposed-fastener metal roofing?
Standing seam systems generally conceal panel fasteners beneath formed seams or clips. Exposed-fastener roofs attach through the panel surface. The appropriate system depends on slope, structure, environmental exposure, and manufacturer requirements.
Can you repair a leaking metal roof instead of replacing it?
Sometimes. Isolated problems involving flashing, fasteners, or individual panels may be repairable. Widespread deterioration or structural concerns can require a larger scope. A site assessment determines the practical options.
How much does commercial metal roofing cost?
Pricing depends on roof area, height, slope, access, chosen materials, insulation, details, and whether removal or structural work is involved. A project-specific quote is more reliable than a generic square-foot estimate.
Can roofing work be scheduled around an operating business?
We consider tenant access, equipment, deliveries, staging, and safety needs during planning. The extent of any disruption depends on the work and the conditions at the site.
