Sheffield Metals Standing Seam Roofing
Sheffield Metals is one of the two manufacturers we install, alongside Taylor Metals. Both make premium standing seam systems in their own wide ranges of Kynar 500 colors, and we choose between them based on the exact color you want, for inland and coastal homes alike.
Our Sheffield system is the 1.5-inch SnapLock 450, available in .032-inch or .040-inch aluminum or 22-gauge and 24-gauge steel, finished in a durable Kynar 500 PVDF coating that resists fading and chalking. We match the metal to your home and the color to your taste, then install it to perform for decades across Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and Riverside counties.
Sheffield Metals roofing combines premium Kynar 500 finishes with a standing seam profile built for long-term durability.
Who Is Sheffield Metals?
Sheffield Metals is a leading standing seam metal roofing manufacturer, known for its aluminum systems and an extensive Kynar 500 color palette. It is one of the two brands we install, chosen whenever it carries the color a homeowner wants.
Sheffield's standing seam systems are designed specifically for architectural roofing and run in heavy-gauge steel or aluminum.
Sheffield's extensive Kynar 500 PVDF color palette gives homeowners dozens of durable finish options while resisting fading and chalking under years of sun exposure. Combined with the company's engineered panel systems and our installation standards, it creates a roof built to last.

The Sheffield System We Install
We install the Sheffield Metals 1.5-inch SnapLock 450 because it delivers the clean appearance homeowners want and the engineered performance a standing seam roof requires. For homes that demand even greater wind or weather resistance, we also offer a mechanical seam upgrade.
The SnapLock 450 is Sheffield's flagship architectural standing seam system for residential roofing. It features a 16-inch panel width, a 1.5-inch standing seam, and is available in .032-inch or .040-inch aluminum or 22-gauge and 24-gauge steel. Panels are manufactured with a smooth finish or an optional embossed texture and are installed with concealed clips engineered for the project.
The system is designed for installation over solid wood or plywood roof decking with a minimum roof slope of 3:12. The concealed fastening system allows the roof to maintain its clean appearance while accommodating normal thermal movement.
Every Sheffield panel we install receives a Kynar 500 PVDF finish, providing outstanding resistance to fading, chalking, and Southern California's intense UV exposure.
For projects with high winds, long panel runs, or lower roof slopes, we recommend upgrading to a mechanically seamed standing seam system. It requires additional labor because each seam is mechanically folded after installation, creating an even tighter weather seal for demanding conditions.
The 1.5-inch SnapLock 450 profile: a 16-inch panel, a 1.5-inch snap-lock seam, and concealed clips fastened to solid decking.

Steel or Aluminum: Which Sheffield Metal Is Right for You?
Sheffield makes the SnapLock 450 in both steel and aluminum, so the right choice comes down to where you live. For coastal and salt-air homes we install aluminum, because steel can corrode in salt air and aluminum does not. For inland homes, 22-gauge or 24-gauge steel is an excellent, cost-effective choice, and aluminum is always an option too.
Either way, the color you want decides the brand. If your color lives in Sheffield's palette, we run Sheffield. If it lives in Taylor's, we run Taylor. The metal is matched to your home's exposure, and the brand is matched to your color.
Sheffield Colors and Finishes
Sheffield Metals offers one of the industry's most extensive Kynar 500 PVDF color selections. Whether your home is contemporary, Spanish, traditional, or coastal, there is a finish designed to complement the architecture while standing up to Southern California's sun and weather.
Every Sheffield roof we install is finished with Kynar 500 PVDF, a premium coating that resists fading, chalking, and color breakdown far better than lower-grade paint systems. The finish helps your roof maintain its appearance for decades while requiring very little maintenance.
Sheffield offers both smooth and optional embossed finishes. Smooth panels create a sleek, contemporary appearance, while embossed panels add subtle texture that can reduce the visibility of minor surface variations and create a more traditional look.

A warranty is only valuable when the roofing system is built to qualify for it. We install Sheffield Metals roofing exactly the way the manufacturer intends, allowing you to receive both Sheffield's 40-year transferable manufacturer warranty and our 8-year workmanship warranty.
Sheffield's manufacturer warranty covers qualifying roofing systems installed with approved materials and methods. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation itself. Together, they protect both the roofing product and the labor behind it.
Our installation standards already meet the requirements for the manufacturer's warranty. We install 22-gauge or 24-gauge steel, or .032-inch or .040-inch aluminum, perform a complete tear-off, and install every roof over solid wood decking. That is how we build every standing seam roof because it is the right way to do it.
We use only the very best metal, and we put our 8-year workmanship warranty behind just two manufacturers, Taylor and Sheffield. That should tell you something.

Metal roofing expands and contracts as temperatures change. A standing seam roof must be engineered to accommodate that movement so the panels remain flat, secure, and weathertight for decades.
The Sheffield 1.5-inch SnapLock 450 system is designed to move naturally with changing temperatures. We install the concealed clips according to the engineered specifications and provide the proper air space beneath the panels so they can expand and contract without placing unnecessary stress on the roofing system.
Managing thermal movement correctly also helps reduce the likelihood of oil canning, the visible waviness that can occur in flat metal panels. While oil canning is a visual characteristic rather than a structural defect, proper engineering and installation help minimize its appearance.
What UL Certifications Does Sheffield Metals Offer?
Sheffield Metals standing seam roofing systems are tested to recognized UL performance standards for fire, wind, and weather resistance. Those certifications give architects, engineers, building officials, and homeowners confidence that the roofing system has been independently evaluated for demanding conditions.
Depending on the panel profile and assembly, Sheffield systems are available with certifications including:
The final certification depends on the complete roof assembly, not just the metal panels. Roof decking, underlayment, fastening methods, clips, and installation details all contribute to the tested system.

Living on the coast, we needed a roof that could handle salt air. The Metal Roof Pros recommended their aluminum standing seam system and explained exactly why steel would not work at our location. Two years later, zero corrosion issues. Worth every penny.

Karen and the entire Metal Roof Pros team made the process simple from estimate to final walkthrough. They installed seamless rain gutters to match our new metal roof and the integration between the two systems is perfect. Everything drains exactly where it should.
James H.
Beverly Hills, CA
We had The Metal Roof Pros install a 22-gauge standing seam on our hillside property. The heavier gauge was recommended for the wind exposure and steep pitch. The installation quality is exceptional. Every panel, clip, and flashing is precise.
Linda C.
Woodland Hills, CA
The attic ventilation work The Metal Roof Pros did alongside our standing seam installation made a huge difference in our cooling costs. They installed ridge vents and balanced the intake system properly. Our upstairs rooms are noticeably cooler in summer.
Carlos A.

The Metal Roof Pros replaced our old tile roof with a matte black standing seam and it completely modernized our 1960s ranch home. The crew handled the tear-off and new installation in under a week. Clean work, great communication, outstanding result.
Sarah P.
Studio City, CA
We added new rain gutters when The Metal Roof Pros installed our standing seam roof. They color-matched the gutters to the roof panels perfectly. The seamless gutter system handles our heaviest rains without any overflow issues. Excellent craftsmanship throughout.

As a retired general contractor, I am extremely particular about installation quality. The Metal Roof Pros exceeded my expectations. Their clip spacing, flashing details, and underlayment application were textbook perfect. This is how metal roofing should be done.
Angela D.
Brentwood, CA
We chose a slate blue Kynar 500 finish and it looks absolutely beautiful on our contemporary home. The Metal Roof Pros helped us visualize the color with actual panel samples before we committed. The 35-year paint warranty gave us total confidence in the investment.

Our home is near the coast and The Metal Roof Pros recommended aluminum panels instead of steel for our location. The aluminum standing seam system has held up perfectly against the salt air. No corrosion, no discoloration, and the warranty covers us for decades.
James H.

The gutter installation by The Metal Roof Pros was just as impressive as the roof work. They used 6-inch seamless aluminum gutters with hidden hangers, and the downspout routing was carefully planned to keep our landscaping protected. Outstanding detail work.
