Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Coastal Carolina homes face constant exposure to salt air, heavy rain, high humidity, and tropical storms. That’s why more homeowners are turning to metal roofing systems for long-term durability and weather resistance. Whether you're upgrading from asphalt shingles or building a new home near the coast, metal roofing offers unmatched performance and curb appeal.

Common Questions

Is metal roofing a good choice for homes in Wilmington, NC

Yes. Metal roofs perform exceptionally well in Wilmington’s coastal climate. They resist salt corrosion, high winds, heavy rain, and provide long-term protection with minimal maintenance.

How long does a metal roof last near the coast?

In Wilmington’s coastal environment, a properly installed metal roof can last 40–70 years, especially with aluminum or galvanized steel, which are resistant to salt air and humidity.

Is metal roofing noisy during storms?

Not when installed correctly. Modern metal roofing includes underlayment and attic insulation that dampens sound—often making it quieter than traditional asphalt shingles during rain or wind.

Can metal roofing help lower energy bills in Wilmington, NC?

Yes. Metal roofing reflects solar heat, reducing cooling costs during Wilmington’s hot, humid summers. Some systems may qualify for energy efficiency tax credits as well.

Will a metal roof stand up to hurricanes and coastal storms?

Absolutely. Many metal roofing systems are rated for wind speeds up to 140–160 mph. They’re ideal for hurricane-prone areas like Wilmington and meet or exceed local building codes.

My husband and I met with Pat Jewell and he was such a pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and kind. We felt comfortable with this company.
We are very pleased with the work that Capitol Improvements did and we would highly recommend and use them again in the future.

Seth and install team were organized and project went smoothly. Entire team was responsive and kept in touch throughout the process.
They replaced my roof including skylights in April 2023 and I am very satisfied. Melinda as my first contact was very professional and got me on the schedule quickly.
It was easy to work with Pat to get a quote. We did both a roof on our house and our shed, we also had new gutters put on our den. The crew was very hardworking and efficient.
