Metal Roof Installation and Replacement in Oakland County
Heritage Metal Roofing installs standing seam and stone-coated steel metal shingle roofs for homeowners throughout Oakland County. Whether you are replacing an aging roof or considering metal for the first time, this page explains the two systems we install, what changes between an installation and a replacement, and how to get a free written estimate for your home.
Serving Homeowners Throughout Oakland County
Heritage is based in Sterling Heights, in neighboring Macomb County, and takes metal roof installation and replacement jobs in every city, village and township in Oakland County. That includes homeowners in Troy, Rochester Hills, Rochester, Royal Oak, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, Farmington, Farmington Hills, Novi, Auburn Hills and Clarkston, and everywhere else in the county.
Every project starts the same way, wherever you live in the county: a conversation about your home, an assessment of the roof, and a written estimate before you commit to anything.
Installation or Replacement: What Changes on Your Home
In most cases, putting a metal roof on an existing home means replacing the roof that is there now. What shapes the project most is what happens to your current roof.
- Full tear-off. For a metal shingle roof, Heritage's typical process is to remove the existing roofing down to the decking, inspect the decking, and install the new system from there.
- Installing over existing shingles. In some cases, depending on the condition of the existing roof, a metal shingle system can go over existing asphalt shingles. That is the exception, not Heritage's default, and it is assessed and discussed with you before your estimate is final.
- Standing seam. For a standing seam roof, the panel profile and the full scope of work are settled at the roof assessment and spelled out in your written estimate.

Two Metal Roofing Systems for Oakland County Homes
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Raised vertical panels with the fasteners concealed inside the seams, for a cleaner, more architectural look. The system and panel profile for your roof are settled after the roof assessment.
Metal Shingle Roofing
Stone-coated steel panels shaped to look like traditional shingles, wood shake or tile. Heritage installs Tilcor systems in three styles, CF Shingle, CF Shake and Antica, all with a concealed-fastening design.
Neither system is universally better. The right choice depends on the look you want, the roof itself and the specifics of the project, and Heritage installs both.
Questions to Settle Before Your Estimate
You do not need every answer before you call, but these are the questions that shape a metal roofing project:
- Which look suits your home? Standing seam has a cleaner, more architectural appearance. Metal shingles keep the look of shingles, shake or tile.
- How long do you plan to own the home? A metal roof costs more upfront than an asphalt shingle roof, so your ownership plans and long-term goals belong in the decision.
- How big and how complex is your roof? The size and complexity of the roof affect the price.
- What condition is the current roof in? The existing roof and the decking beneath it affect how the new system is installed.
- Which style and color? Specific colors and availability are confirmed as part of your estimate.

- The specific product and manufacturer that will be installed.
- What the estimate includes, in writing.
- Whether the old roof will be torn off or covered, and why.
- Whether the system uses concealed fasteners or exposed fasteners on the panel surface. Both Heritage systems use a concealed design.
