Welcome to Metal Roof Masters
The Roof You Put On Once and Stop Thinking About
We install, repair, coat, and maintain metal roofs across Brooklyn. Standing seam, corrugated, metal shingle, copper and aluminum. From houses and apartment buildings to warehouses and storefronts. Licensed, insured, and quick to pick up when one starts leaking.
Metal Costs More to Install and Less to Own
A metal roof runs two to three times the price of asphalt shingles going on. The math works because it’s the only roof you buy once. A standing seam system in steel or aluminum lasts 40 to 60 years, copper longer than that, while an asphalt roof is back on the replacement list in 15 to 20. Over the life of a building you pay for one metal roof instead of three shingle ones.
There’s more to it than longevity. The Kynar finishes reflect solar heat instead of soaking it up, so summer cooling bills come down, and a metal roof carries real weight at resale that a tired asphalt one never will. The case against it is short. If you’re selling in two years, the payback isn’t there. If you’re keeping the building, it is.
About Us
Metalwork Is Closer to Fabrication Than Roofing
Metal isn’t shingle work with a different material on the truck. Panels get cut to length, seams get crimped or snapped shut, and clips have to be set so the metal can expand and contract through the seasons without buckling or working a fastener loose. A shingle crew that takes on a metal job tends to screw the panels down tight and flat, and that roof telegraphs its first leak about two winters later.Metal Roof Masters has served Brooklyn homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients with precision roofing work that stands the test of time. Our team understands the unique demands of Brooklyn’s climate and architecture, from historic brownstones in Park Slope Brooklyn roof repair projects to modern commercial buildings in Sunset Park Brooklyn metal roof installations. We’re not just roof repair contractors-we’re problem solvers who assess your building’s specific needs and recommend solutions that make sense for your budget and timeline.
We came up doing metal. Standing seam, exposed-fastener corrugated, stamped metal shingle, flat-seam copper and aluminum, on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Licensed, insured, and we pull permits when the job calls for them.

What We Do in Metal
Four lines of work, all of it in metal.
Standing Seam Installation
Panels are cut to length and locked onto concealed clips, so there's no screw head sitting out in the weather to leak down the road. Snap-lock on houses, mechanically seamed for low slopes and commercial decks that take more standing water.
Leak and Fastener Repair
On an exposed-fastener roof the leak is almost always the rubber washers under the screws, dried out and shrunk after years in the sun. We re-fasten, reseal the seams and flashing, and swap any panel that's rusted through at the lap.
Maintenance That Catches the Small Stuff
Metal asks for little, but the sealant at penetrations and the fasteners along the eaves wear out long before the panels do. A look every couple of years keeps a ten-dollar washer from turning into a stained ceiling.
Restoration Coating and Waterproofing
An older metal roof with surface rust and no real leaks doesn't need tearing off. We treat the rust, prime it, and roll on a silicone or acrylic coating that seals the seams and reflects heat. A coating over active rust only buys a season or two, so we're straight about when it's worth doing and when it isn't.
How It Works
From First Look to Sealed Roof
A metal job runs in four steps, with no surprises in the middle.
We get up and Measure
Someone climbs the roof, checks the deck and the existing flashing, and takes real measurements. Metal is cut to fit, so the numbers have to be right before a single panel is ordered.
We fabricate and Install
Underlayment and ice-and-water shield go down first, then the panels and clips, then the flashing at valleys, walls, and penetrations. Snow guards go on wherever the slope and the doorways below them call for it.
You get a spec with the Quote
The quote names the profile, the gauge, the finish, and the warranty. You’ll know whether it’s 24-gauge steel or aluminum, snap-lock or mechanically seamed, and exactly what the Kynar finish is rated for.
We seam-check and hand over the warranty
Every seam and termination gets inspected before we pack up, the site gets cleared, and you get the manufacturer finish warranty plus our own workmanship coverage in writing.

Six Reasons the Metal Holds
Plenty of crews can screw down a panel. Fewer can make it last the forty years the metal is good for.
Concealed-clip Standing Seam
No fasteners punched through the face of the roof means no rubber washers to dry out and no rows of screw holes waiting to leak. The clips also let the metal slide with temperature instead of fighting it.
We pick the Metal to suit the Building
Our certifications cover metal roofing systems, EPDM applications, TPO installations, modified bitumen techniques, and specialty solutions like metal roof waterproofing and winter roof snow removal. Whether you need industrial metal roofing for warehouses or affordable roofing services for residential properties, one crew handles it all.
Kynar 500 Finishes
The PVDF coatings hold their color for decades and bounce solar heat rather than trapping it, which shows up on summer cooling bills and meets cool-roof standards.
Built for New York Winters
Snow guards and properly detailed valleys stop a sheet of snow from releasing all at once over an entrance or a walkway, and the seams are run to handle ice without water backing up beneath them.
Licensed, Insured, and Warranty-registered
We carry full liability and workers’ comp, and because we’re approved to install the systems we sell, we register the manufacturer finish and weathertight warranties in your name.
We work every Kind of Building
The same crew handles a row-house porch, an apartment block, a warehouse deck, and a retail storefront. The panel and the detailing shift with the slope and the size. The standard of the seam doesn’t.
Our Team
The Hands on Your Roof
Metal rewards experience in a way few trades do. A seam crimped a hair off, a clip set too tight, a flashing lapped the wrong way, and the roof will find it inside a year. Our installers have spent years bending, seaming, and setting metal, and they treat copper and standing seam as the finish work it is. You deal with the same crew from the first measurement to the final seam check

Straight Answers on Metal Roofing
Short, useful pieces on the things people ask before they spend on a metal roof. Standing seam versus exposed-fastener, what oil canning is and whether it should worry you, when a coating beats a tear-off, and how copper changes as it ages.

FAQs
Questions We Get Before the Job Starts
Can you put a metal roof over my existing shingles?
Often yes, if the deck underneath is sound. We add furring or a slip sheet and the right underlayment so the metal sits flat and drains properly. If the deck is soft or already carrying two layers, it comes off first. We’ll tell you which after we’ve been up there.
Will a metal roof make the top floor hotter?
No, the opposite. A reflective Kynar finish bounces the solar heat a dark shingle roof would soak up, so the space below usually runs cooler in summer. That reflectivity is why metal counts as a cool roof.
Standing seam or corrugated, which should I get?
Standing seam hides its fasteners and lasts longer, so it’s the pick for houses and anything you want looking sharp. Exposed-fastener corrugated is cheaper and faster to install, which makes sense on a warehouse or an outbuilding where the look matters less. We’ll tell you plainly where each one fits your building.
Do I need snow guards?
Over an entrance, a walkway, or a lower roof, yes. Metal sheds snow in one slab once it loosens, and that release can hurt someone or tear off a gutter. We set guards or rails wherever the slope and what sits below it call for them.
Why is my metal roof leaking at the screws?
The neoprene washers under exposed fasteners dry out and shrink after fifteen or twenty years, and the screws back themselves out as the metal expands and contracts. Water runs in at each one. We re-fasten with larger gasketed screws and reseal, or suggest a coating if the panels are sound but the fasteners are spent.
