Taylor Metals Standing Seam Roofing
The brand of metal beneath your standing seam roof is a decision most roofing contractors never discuss. It should be. The quality of the coil determines your roof's finish, long-term color retention, and manufacturer warranty for decades to come.
Taylor Metals is a leading Western United States roofing-metal manufacturer, and we trust its products on homes throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and Riverside counties. We purchase premium Taylor Kynar 500-painted coil and roll-form every 1.5-inch snap-lock standing seam panel on site specifically for your home. Taylor supplies the metal. We build the roof.

Why Does the Coil Brand Matter?
The coil brand determines far more than the color of your roof. It determines the quality of the finish, how well that finish resists fading and chalking, and the manufacturer warranty that stands behind the finished product.
Many homeowners never hear about the coil manufacturer because some roofing contractors simply purchase whichever coil is available or costs the least. Two standing seam roofs can look nearly identical on installation day but perform very differently after years of Southern California sunshine, heat, and coastal conditions.
That is why we build every standing seam roof using premium 70% Kynar 500 PVDF finishes that are engineered for long-term durability. We want your roof to retain its appearance for decades, not just the first few years after installation.
We only put our 8-year workmanship warranty behind two manufacturers. That should tell you something.
The Taylor System We Install
Taylor Metals supplies the premium Kynar 500-painted coil. We transform that coil into your finished roof by roll-forming every 1.5-inch snap-lock standing seam panel on site. Instead of installing factory-made panels, we manufacture each panel to the exact length your roof requires.
Our standard system uses 22-gauge or 24-gauge steel for inland homes and .032-inch or .040-inch aluminum for coastal homes. We never specify Taylor's thinner 26-gauge steel because we only install heavy-gauge materials that meet our standards for strength and long-term performance.
Every panel features a 70% Kynar 500 PVDF finish that resists fading and chalking under Southern California's intense sun. The panels are installed with concealed clips spaced according to the engineered specifications for your project, allowing the roof to expand and contract naturally while maintaining a clean, weathertight appearance.
For homes with high winds, long panel runs, or lower roof slopes, we also offer a mechanically seamed standing seam system as a premium upgrade. After installation, each seam is mechanically folded to create an even tighter weather seal for demanding conditions.
Our on-site roll-formed 1.5-inch snap-lock profile: 16-inch coverage, a 1.5-inch seam, and concealed clips fastened to solid decking.

Taylor Colors and Finishes
Taylor's 70% Kynar 500 PVDF finish is available in 21 standard colors, 5 metallic colors, and 4 specialized colors, giving you a wide selection of architectural finishes for virtually any home style. These premium coatings are engineered to resist fading and chalking, helping your roof maintain its appearance through decades of Southern California sun and weather.
Choosing the right color is easier when you can see it in natural light. We bring actual Taylor color samples to your home so you can compare them against your stucco, stone, brick, trim, and landscaping before making a final decision.

Taylor's 40-Year Warranty
A premium standing seam roof deserves a premium warranty. Taylor backs qualifying roofing systems with a 40-year manufacturer finish warranty, and we stand behind every qualifying installation with our own 8-year workmanship warranty.
Taylor's manufacturer warranty covers the factory-applied finish. Kynar 500 protects steel roofing, while AlumiGuard protects aluminum roofing. Our workmanship warranty covers the installation itself, giving you confidence in both the roofing product and the craftsmanship behind it.
Our installation methods are designed to meet the manufacturer's warranty requirements. We install 22-gauge or 24-gauge steel, or .032-inch or .040-inch aluminum, perform a complete tear-off, and install every standing seam roof over solid wood decking. That is how we build every roof because it delivers the strongest, longest-lasting roofing system.

What UL Certifications Does Taylor Metals Offer?
Taylor Metals roofing systems are independently tested for fire, wind, and impact performance. The standing seam systems we install are available with UL 790 Class A Fire, UL 580 Class 90 Wind Uplift, and UL 2218 Class 4 Impact (Hail) ratings when installed as the tested roof assembly.
These certifications apply to the complete roofing system, not just the metal panels. The roof deck, underlayment, concealed clips, fasteners, and installation methods all work together to achieve the published performance ratings.
For your home, that means a standing seam roof engineered to deliver exceptional fire resistance, wind uplift performance, and hail impact protection when installed according to Taylor's specifications and our installation standards.
Made in Riverside, California
Taylor Metals operates a manufacturing facility in Riverside, California, right inside our Southern California service area. That local presence helps shorten lead times and keeps schedule-sensitive roofing projects moving.
Having a regional manufacturing facility means premium Taylor coil is available closer to the jobs we build throughout Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, and Riverside counties. Shorter transportation distances help improve product availability and reduce delays that can occur when materials must be shipped across the country.
Local manufacturing also allows us to respond more quickly if additional material is needed during a project. Because we roll-form every standing seam panel on site from Taylor coil, dependable access to that material helps us maintain quality, scheduling, and consistency from start to finish.
For homeowners, it means your roof is built from premium Western-made materials backed by a manufacturer with a strong presence in Southern California.

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.

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.

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.
