Premium Metal Roofing Materials

At Needleman Roofing, we work with only the highest quality metal roofing materials to ensure durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal for your property. Our selection includes:

Standing Seam Metal

Our most popular option features vertical panels with concealed fasteners for a clean, modern look. Standing seam metal roofs offer superior weather resistance and typically last 50+ years with minimal maintenance.


Metal Shingles

Combining the classic look of traditional shingles with the durability of metal, these systems offer exceptional wind resistance and can be customized to complement any architectural style.


Corrugated Metal

An economical yet durable option, corrugated metal roofing provides excellent drainage and is ideal for certain architectural styles and outbuildings. Available in various colors and finishes.


Aluminum

Lightweight and naturally corrosion-resistant, aluminum roofing is perfect for coastal areas in New Jersey. It won't rust or deteriorate from salt exposure and offers excellent energy efficiency.


Steel

Offering exceptional strength and durability, steel roofing stands up to New Jersey's harsh weather conditions. Our steel roofing systems include protective zinc coatings and premium paint finishes for decades of performance.


Copper

For premium applications, copper roofing offers unmatched beauty that improves with age. Developing a distinctive patina over time, copper roofs can last a century or more with proper installation and care.

Exceptional Durability

Metal roofs withstand New Jersey's challenging weather conditions—from heavy snow and ice to summer storms and high winds. With proper installation, your metal roof can last 50+ years, outlasting traditional asphalt shingles by decades.


Energy Efficiency

Metal roofing reflects solar heat rather than absorbing it, reducing cooling costs in summer by up to 25%. In winter, proper insulation keeps heat inside, helping you save on energy bills year-round.


Low Maintenance

Unlike other roofing materials, metal roofs require minimal maintenance. They resist mold, mildew, and rot, and don't crack, warp, or curl over time. Occasional inspections and simple cleaning are all that's needed to keep your metal roof in top condition.


Environmental Benefits

Metal roofing is an eco-friendly choice. Most metal roofing contains recycled materials and is 100% recyclable at the end of its long life. By choosing metal, you're reducing landfill waste and your carbon footprint.


Enhanced Property Value

Investing in a metal roof can increase your property's resale value. Potential buyers recognize the long-term value, durability, and reduced maintenance requirements of metal roofing systems.


Insurance Benefits

Many insurance companies offer reduced premiums for homes with metal roofs due to their fire resistance, durability, and ability to withstand extreme weather events common in New Jersey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Roofing

  • How long do metal roofs last in New Jersey's climate?

    With proper installation and maintenance, metal roofs in New Jersey typically last 50+ years. Our region's seasonal weather conditions—including snow, rain, and summer heat—are well-suited for metal roofing, which outperforms traditional asphalt shingles by decades. At Needleman Roofing, we use premium materials and expert installation techniques to maximize your roof's lifespan.


  • Are metal roofs noisy during rain and storms?

    This is a common misconception. Properly installed metal roofs with solid sheathing and insulation are no noisier than other roofing types during rain or hail. The solid roof deck and attic space provide sound buffering. In fact, many homeowners report that their metal roofs are quieter than expected during inclement weather.


  • How much does a metal roof cost compared to traditional roofing?

    While the initial investment for a metal roof is typically higher than asphalt shingles, the long-term value is superior. Metal roofs last 2-3 times longer than traditional roofing, require minimal maintenance, and can reduce energy costs. When calculated over the life of the roof, metal roofing often proves more economical. We offer detailed estimates and financing options to help make metal roofing affordable for our New Jersey customers.


  • Can a metal roof be installed over my existing roof?

    In many cases, yes. Metal roofing can often be installed over existing asphalt shingles, eliminating the need for costly tear-off and disposal. However, this depends on several factors including local building codes, the condition of your existing roof, and structural considerations. Our team will assess your specific situation during the consultation to determine the best approach for your metal roof installation.


  • Will a metal roof increase my home's value?

    Yes, metal roofing typically increases property values. According to industry studies, homes with metal roofs can see an increase in resale value of up to 6% compared to homes with asphalt shingle roofs. Potential buyers recognize the long-term value, durability, and reduced maintenance requirements of metal roofing systems.
