Standing seam metal roofing in Santa Monica
Standing seam metal roofing uses long panels that join at raised seams. Each seam sits above the flat part of the panel. That is where the name comes from.
24-gauge metal roof panels
Gauge names the thickness of the sheet metal used for roofing panels. We install 24-gauge panels on standing seam roofs in Santa Monica.
Concealed fastener metal roofing
Concealed fasteners sit below the panel connection. They do not pass through the exposed face. Standing seam names the raised joint, and concealed fastener names the fastener placement.
Panels run down the roof planes from the ridge or high edge to the eave. Walls, vents, edges, flashing, valleys, and plane changes all affect that layout.
If you already picked standing seam, our roof installation page covers planned work. If you are still comparing materials, our residential roofing page shows the wider choice.
Metal roof installation and what affects the work
What your metal roof needs depends on the building, the roof shape, and what you want to do. Two homes can look alike and still need different work.
Share your property type, visible water marks or loose-looking material, timing, and prior work. You do not need to diagnose anything or climb onto the roof.
Maybe you already know your roof area, what you can see, your roof system's name, or the panel gauge. Either way, you do not need to diagnose the roof or use technical wording.
- Existing roof covering: Note whether shingle, tile, or metal is on the property now.
- Roof shape and planes: Hips, valleys, dormers, and meeting points shape the panel layout.
- Walls, vents, edges, and flashing: Note where the roof meets walls, vents, eaves, and rakes.
- Project goal: Tell us whether you are considering a repair, replacement, or planned installation.
- Santa Monica permit help: We help you pull the required permits from the City of Santa Monica. The City decides approval.
The City of Santa Monica conducts the inspections. Read the City page on how to schedule a building permit inspection for your project.

Metal roofing options for Santa Monica properties
You can compare metal roofing with the roof already on your home or business. You can also compare metal with another material you plan to use on a future roof.
Metal roofing and asphalt shingles
Asphalt roofs use overlapping shingles. Standing seam roofs use long metal panels with raised seams. We cover shingle roofs further on our asphalt shingle roofing page.
Metal roofing and tile
Tile roofs are built from single clay or concrete pieces. Standing seam systems join metal panels at raised seams. If that difference matters for your Santa Monica property, see our tile roofing page.
Metal roofing and natural slate
A slate roof is made up of single stone pieces. Standing seam roofs use formed metal panels joined at raised seams. Santa Monica property owners weighing the stone option can view our slate roofing services.

Metal roofing FAQ
What is the biggest problem with metal roofs?
Flashing and transitions cause more trouble than the metal panels themselves. Walls, vents, valleys, and plane changes all interrupt the panel layout. Roof-to-wall, chimney, and valley flashing is a leading source of leaks.
What is standing seam metal roofing?
It is a metal roof system with joints that rise above the flat surface. The fasteners sit below the visible face.
What does 24-gauge metal roofing mean?
24 gauge identifies sheet-metal thickness. It is the panel thickness we install on standing seam metal roofs.
Can a metal roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes, repair is possible in some cases. We handle repair, replacement, and planned installation, and the right path depends on the individual roof and the work involved.
What details help with a metal roofing estimate?
Helpful details include property type, current covering, visible concern, roof area, timing, past work, system name, and gauge if known. You do not need to diagnose the roof, and roofing estimates are free.
Do you install metal roofing on homes and commercial properties?
Yes, we install metal roofing on homes and commercial properties. We serve both homeowners and business owners.
