Commercial Metal Roofing Contractors — Replacement, Repair & Installation

N.E.N.E.S., Inc. has been installing, replacing, and repairing metal and steel roofing systems on commercial buildings for over 40 years. Whether your facility needs a complete metal roof replacement, targeted steel roof repair, or a brand-new metal roof installation, our crews deliver precision workmanship backed by decades of Midwest experience.

Metal roofing remains one of the most durable and cost-effective options for commercial and industrial buildings. With proper installation, a metal roof can last 40–70 years—far outlasting traditional built-up or single-ply systems. Our team works with all major metal roofing profiles and substrates to ensure the right fit for your building.

Metal Roof Replacement — Our Primary Service

When your existing metal roof has reached the end of its service life—whether from decades of hail damage, corrosion, fastener failure, or panel deterioration—full replacement is the smart long-term investment. N.E.N.E.S., Inc. handles every phase of commercial metal roof replacement:

Complete tear-off and disposal of the old metal roof system
Deck inspection and repair — structural steel, wood, or concrete
Insulation upgrades to meet current energy codes
New metal panel installation — standing seam, corrugated, R-panel, or architectural profiles
Flashing, trim, and gutter integration for a complete weather-tight envelope
Manufacturer warranty coordination for material and labor coverage

Types of Metal Roofing We Install

We work with all commercial-grade metal roofing materials and profiles. The right choice depends on your building type, budget, and performance requirements.

By Material

Prefinished (Pre-Painted) Steel — Factory-applied Kynar 500® or SMP coatings provide superior color retention, chalk resistance, and UV protection. Available in dozens of colors to match any architectural requirement.

By Profile

Standing Seam — Concealed fastener system with raised seams that shed water efficiently. The gold standard for commercial metal roofing—no exposed fasteners to corrode or back out.
Corrugated Panels — Classic wave-pattern steel panels. Economical, proven, and available in multiple gauges for different span and load requirements.
R-Panel / PBR Panel — Trapezoidal rib profile commonly used on commercial, agricultural, and industrial buildings. Strong, economical, and fast to install.
Architectural Metal Panels — Custom profiles for retail, office, and mixed-use buildings where aesthetics matter as much as performance.
Sheet Metal Roofing — Flat-lock or batten-seam sheet metal for unique roof geometries, historical restorations, and specialty applications.

Steel Roof Repair Services

Not every metal roof needs full replacement. Many issues can be resolved with targeted repair:

Loose or backed-out fasteners — re-fastening with neoprene-washer screws
Rust spots and surface corrosion — grinding, priming, and localized coating
Panel dents and hail damage — panel replacement or overlay
Open seams and ridge cap leaks — sealant and butyl tape repair
Flashing failures at walls, curbs, pipes, and HVAC penetrations
Gutter and downspout repair — re-sloping, patching, and replacement

Metal Roof vs. Steel Roof — What's the Difference?

"Metal roof" and "steel roof" are often used interchangeably, but there are important distinctions. Steel is the most common metal used in commercial roofing — it's strong, affordable, and readily available. Metal roofing is the broader category that also includes aluminum, copper, zinc, and stainless steel. When business owners search for "steel roof replacement" or "metal roofing contractors," they're typically looking for the same service — and N.E.N.E.S. delivers both.
