Complete Metal Roofing Transformation in Long Beach

Client: Private Residence

Location: Long Beach, IN

Primary Service Provided: Roofing

Materials Installed:

Overview

This lakeside home now features a premium metal roofing system built for long-term performance and modern appeal. Greater Midwest Exteriors completed the two-month installation with a focus on precision, weather resistance, and structural strength. Each standing seam panel was custom-measured and expertly secured to create a watertight roof that will protect and enhance the property for decades.

Installation Hurdles & Executed Strategies

Coastal Weather Exposure

  • Obstacle

Lake-effect conditions introduced strong winds and high moisture that demanded advanced protection measures.

  • Execution

Installed reinforced underlayment and engineered each panel overlap for maximum waterproofing, preventing moisture intrusion in every season.

Structural Assessment

  • Obstacle

The existing roof deck required analysis to confirm support for standing seam panels.

  • Execution

Performed a complete inspection and reinforced any weakened sections before installation, ensuring lasting structural stability.

Thermal Movement Accommodation

  • Obstacle

Temperature fluctuations cause metal panels to expand and contract, which can stress fasteners.

  • Execution

Installed floating clip systems that allow panels to move naturally while maintaining alignment and preventing stress damage.

Precision Panel Alignment

  • Obstacle

Standing seam metal roofing requires perfect symmetry for both appearance and performance.

  • Execution

Fabricated panels on-site to exact roof dimensions and aligned them with laser accuracy to achieve clean sight lines and consistent water flow.
