Two Markets, One Specialist
Irvine Is Two Roofing Markets
Irvine's southern hills border Laguna Beach and sit inside WUI wildfire zones where Class A fire-rated roofing is not optional. Its master-planned flats and luxury estates need a different conversation: upgrading 1980s asphalt and concrete tile to a 50 to 70 year standing seam finish that matches the architecture.
The Specialist Advantage
Metal Roofing Contractor in Irvine
We do not install asphalt. We do not install tile. We do not install gutters. The Metal Roof Pros is a standing seam metal roofing crew, full stop. That singular focus is why other Orange County roofing companies subcontract their metal work to us.
When Irvine homeowners hire us directly, they get the same crew those contractors call, without the 30 to 50% markup. We buy steel and aluminum wholesale-direct from Taylor Metals and Sheffield Metals. No distributor. No middleman. No project management fee.
CSLB licenses C-39 (Roofing), C-43 (Sheet Metal), C-10 (Electrical), Class B (General), and C-61/D-12 (Synthetic Products). The full stack.
Core Service
Standing Seam Metal Roof Installation in Irvine
Every standing seam panel we install in Irvine is roll-formed on site by our C-43 licensed sheet-metal specialist. We bring the portable roll-forming machine to your property and cut each panel to the exact length of your roof run, to within 1/8 inch. No pre-cut panels trucked from a warehouse. No transit scratches. No end laps.
- Concealed clip system allows thermal expansion without buckling
- Clips set every 12 inches in the field, every 6 to 9 inches at perimeters
- Mechanical seaming with calibrated equipment for weather-tight joints
- Custom flashings fabricated for every penetration, valley, and wall junction
The Flats
Updating Irvine's 1980s Homes With Metal
Thousands of Irvine homes built in the late 1970s and 1980s still wear the original asphalt shingles or concrete tile. That material is at or past its useful life. Asphalt lasts 15 to 20 years. Concrete tile underlayment fails at 20 to 25 years, forcing a full tear-off even when the tiles look intact.
Standing seam metal replaces both with a single 50 to 70 year roof that weighs a fraction of concrete tile. No more cracked tiles. No more granule loss. No more re-roofing every 15 to 20 years. Neighborhoods like Woodbridge, Northwood, and University Park are prime candidates.
The look transforms too. Clean vertical lines replace the aging stucco-and-shingle aesthetic with something modern, permanent, and distinct.
Residential metal roofingEstates & Custom Homes
Standing Seam for Irvine's Luxury Estates
Shady Canyon, Crystal Cove, Turtle Rock Estates, and Quail Hill custom homes demand an architectural roof finish that matches their design intent. Standing seam metal delivers the clean lines, shadow definition, and material permanence that concrete tile and composite cannot.
We offer 83 Kynar 500 PVDF color options including matte charcoal, weathered copper, dark bronze, slate gray, and custom-match metallics. Kynar 500 is the same fluoropolymer coating used on skyscrapers and NFL stadiums. It resists UV fading, chalking, and chemical degradation for 40+ years.
Every panel is roll-formed on site. Zero transit damage. Zero mismatched cuts. The result is a roof that looks as precise as the architecture it covers.

The Hills
Wildfire & Class A Protection in Irvine's Hill Neighborhoods
Irvine's southern and eastern hill neighborhoods, Turtle Rock, Shady Canyon, Quail Hill, Portola Springs, and Orchard Hills, border the wildfire-urban interface. Homes here face ember exposure, radiant heat, and direct flame contact risk during Santa Ana wind-driven fire events.
Standing seam metal carries a Class A fire rating per ASTM E108 and UL 790. It will not ignite. It will not melt. Its concealed seam system seals out ember intrusion at every panel joint, ridge, eave, and wall junction.
Where Embers Enter a Roof
- •Open or deteriorated ridge vents
- •Gaps at eave/soffit junctions
- •Exposed fastener holes in old roofing
- •Unsealed roof-to-wall transitions
- •Cracked or missing tiles and shingles
- •Debris-trapping textured surfaces

Wildfire Insurance and Your Irvine Roof
Insurance carriers serving Irvine's fire-adjacent neighborhoods increasingly require Class A fire-rated roof assemblies for new policies and renewals. A non-combustible standing seam metal roof removes the single largest fire liability on your property, the combustible roof surface, and positions your home for the most favorable underwriting terms available. If your current insurer is non-renewing or pricing you out, a metal roof is the most impactful single upgrade you can make.
The Direct-Hire Advantage
Why Irvine Homeowners Choose The Metal Roof Pros
We Only Do Metal
No asphalt. No tile. No siding. Standing seam metal roofing is our only service. That focus is why Orange County contractors subcontract to us.
Wholesale-Direct Pricing
We buy steel and aluminum direct from Taylor Metals and Sheffield Metals. No distributor markup. Irvine homeowners get the same price contractors pay.
On-Site C-43 Forming
Our licensed C-43 sheet-metal specialist roll-forms every panel on your Irvine property, to within 1/8 inch. Zero transit damage. Zero end laps.
22/24-Gauge, Never 26
Most competitors default to 26-gauge because it costs less. We use 22 and 24-gauge exclusively. 25% thicker steel, higher wind-uplift, better long-term rigidity.
Clips Every 12 Inches
Industry standard is 24-inch clip spacing. We set clips every 12 inches in the field and every 6 to 9 inches at perimeters. Twice the hold, where it matters most.
8-Yr Warranty, 2 Brands Only
We back every Irvine installation with an 8-year workmanship warranty. We only install Taylor Metals and Sheffield Metals. Two brands, both proven.

What Our Clients Say
Susan M.

The Metal Roof Pros installed a dark bronze standing seam on our home and it completely transformed the exterior. Their crew was detail-oriented and left the property spotless every day. The finished roof is a showpiece. We get compliments from neighbors constantly.
Michael T.
Thousand Oaks, CA
After getting five quotes from different companies, The Metal Roof Pros were the only team who could explain their gauge, clip spacing, and underlayment system in detail. Their knowledge of standing seam installation is unmatched. The roof looks and performs flawlessly.
Jennifer L.
Encino, CA
We hired The Metal Roof Pros for a charcoal gray Kynar 500 standing seam roof. Karen walked us through every color option and helped us choose the perfect shade to match our stone facade. The color is exactly what we wanted and the finish is stunning.
David R.
Malibu, CA
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.
Patricia W.
Pacific Palisades, CA
After the 2024 wildfires, we prioritized fire protection for our rebuild. The Metal Roof Pros installed a Class A rated standing seam system with proper ember-resistant detailing at every penetration point. Our insurance company was very impressed with the fire rating documentation.
Robert K.
Agoura Hills, CA
We own a commercial property in Agoura Hills and needed a reliable roofing contractor. The Metal Roof Pros handled our 12,000 square foot standing seam installation on schedule and on budget. Their commercial crew was professional and incredibly efficient.
Maria G.
Sherman Oaks, CA
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.
Pasadena, CA
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.
Thomas B.
Westlake Village, CA
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.
Mark S.
Northridge, CA
Our commercial building needed a complete re-roof and The Metal Roof Pros delivered a standing seam system that solved our persistent leak problems. Their attention to flashing details around our HVAC units and skylights was impressive. No leaks since installation.
Diane F.
Topanga, CA
Living in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, our insurance required a noncombustible roof. The Metal Roof Pros installed a Class A rated standing seam system that satisfied every code requirement. Our premium dropped significantly after we submitted the documentation.
Susan M.
Calabasas, CA
The Metal Roof Pros also handled our attic insulation upgrade when they installed the metal roof. The combination of reflective metal panels and proper insulation cut our summer energy bill by about 20%. The house stays cooler without running the AC as hard.
Robert K.
Agoura Hills, CA
We brought The Metal Roof Pros back for a second commercial project because the first installation was flawless. They understand the unique demands of commercial roofing, including foot traffic paths, equipment mounting, and drainage slopes. Highly recommended for any commercial job.
Maria G.
Sherman Oaks, CA
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.
Beverly Hills, CA
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.
Jennifer L.
Encino, CA
When it came to fire hardening our property, The Metal Roof Pros provided a complete assessment. They installed a noncombustible standing seam roof and sealed every vent and soffit with ember-resistant materials. Our home now meets the latest California wildfire building codes.
