Standing Seam Metal Roofs in Ohio
Serving Dayton, Columbus & Cincinnati
Van Martin Roofing installs standing seam metal roofs that deliver bold curb appeal, lasting durability, and high-performance protection across Southwest and Central Ohio.
What is Standing Seam Metal Roofing?
Standing seam metal roofing features tall, vertical panels with raised interlocking seams that run continuously from ridge to eave. Unlike traditional shingle systems, the concealed fastener design offers a sleek look while reducing the risk of leaks and long-term wear.
Our team installs standing seam metal roofs using premium-grade steel or aluminum in a range of colors and finishes. Whether you’re replacing an older roof or building new, this system delivers a modern aesthetic and proven protection—rain, snow, or shine.

The Benefits Of Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Choosing standing seam means you’re investing in a lifetime roofing system that’s as efficient as it is attractive. Here’s what makes it a standout choice for Ohio homeowners:
Boost in Energy Efficiency
There are multiple sources of energy savings percentages from installing a metal roof, but most believe that the savings can begin at 15 to 25%. The Metal Roofing Alliance reports some homeowners have reported up to 40% savings on energy bills. The metal roof reflects heat from the sun instead of absorbing it like asphalt shingles do.
Longevity and Durability
A standing seam metal roof can last 40-70 years. However, it requires more initial installation than an asphalt shingle roof; its lifetime is more than double that of an asphalt shingle roof. Furthermore, this metal roof is durable in all types of weather, and repair costs are extremely low. Fortunately for the homeowner, standing seam metal roof installation in Dayton, OH, offers a choice of colors and textures.
- Highly hail resistant: there is no guarantee of no dents from hail, but this type of roof receives much less structural damage than traditional roofing from hail.
- Wind Resistant: metal roofing is wind resistant up to 120 miles per hour.
- Mold, mildew, and algae resistance: made with anti-fungal properties, metal roofing is resistant to mold and mildew.
- Heat resistant: able to handle very hot temperatures without cracking, shrinking, or peeling
Cost Savings
A metal roof pays for itself over time, primarily due to its longevity. Some may hesitate because the initial cost is higher than asphalt shingle roofs, increasing your home’s value, saving on energy bills, possibly discount on home insurance, and less repair than other roofs balance out.
