Common Metal Roofing Concerns

Is Your Roof Showing Signs of Trouble?

Many property owners across Selma don't realize their metal roof is compromised until water damage appears inside their building. Loose or missing panels, exposed fasteners, rust spots spreading along seams, and deteriorating sealant around penetrations all signal that your roofing system needs professional attention. These issues often start small but escalate rapidly during storm events, allowing moisture to penetrate roof decking and insulation layers. When water infiltrates your roof assembly, it can damage ceiling materials, compromise structural integrity, and create conditions that promote mold growth throughout your property.

Older metal roofs may also struggle with inadequate ventilation, leading to excessive heat buildup in attic spaces during summer months. This trapped heat forces your cooling system to work overtime, driving up energy bills while shortening the lifespan of your HVAC equipment. Aging roofing coatings lose their reflective properties over time, further reducing energy efficiency. If your metal roof is approaching 20 years of age or showing visible signs of deterioration, it might be time to consider a replacement or restoration service.

Johnston County's weather patterns place significant demands on roofing systems. Seasonal storms bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and occasional hail that can dent panels, loosen fasteners, and compromise waterproofing. Without proper maintenance and timely repairs, these weather-related stresses accumulate and eventually require costly emergency interventions. Addressing roofing concerns early protects your investment and prevents minor issues from becoming major headaches down the road.

      What Property Owners Say About Our Work

      Don't take our word for it. Property owners throughout Selma and Johnston County have trusted Selma Roofing with their metal roofing projects, and their experiences speak volumes. Read what your neighbors have to say about our workmanship, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction.

      Our experience with Selma Roofing was excellent. We were impressed with them beginning with our first interaction with Bobby (Sales). He was punctual, honest, and gave us options regarding various roofing materials. We opted for the metal 5V roof and are very very pleased with the product and the look - as he ensured we would be! The project started a few days ahead of schedule and was completed precisely when they said it would be. Ta'Riq, the supervisor on the job, was diligent and routinely updated us on progress throughout the installation. He narrated and shot multiple videos as he walked the roof and inspected the work of the crew. Ta' Riq's oversight and follow-up was impressive and appreciated. His entire crew was polite, efficient, and admittedly proud to work for Selma Roofing. There are many roofing companies to choose from, but I can highly recommend Selma Roofing - we were delighted with the work and what we felt was a very fair price.
      We recently had Selma Roofing replace the roof on our home in south Naples, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. From the start, they were on top of everything, providing me updates and photos at every stage so I knew exactly what was happening. There were a few unexpected repairs needed on the roof, during which Selma Roofing provided constant communications, details and pictures before and after. Their crew very clean, in which we got complements from neighbors commenting on how clean the job site was. Highly recommend them.
      Selma Roofing did an amazing job putting up our Christmas lights this year. Their team was prompt, professional and worked quickly to get the job done. Once they got started I decided I wanted more done than originally anticipated and they were happy to make it happen for me! I love the results and my kids are beyond thrilled with the Christmas spirit it provides! Thank you to an amazing team led by an amazing person Derric!
      Highly professional, detailed, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. Selma Roofing staff, especially Karl Sheen and Nancy Thompson, made the job of replacing my entire roof easy and hassle free. They handled the insurance company expertly. The construction team was on time, they cleaned up afterwards, and the results are gorgeous! One small note: how many other roofing companies would start the job with a nice bottle of wine and a thank you note left on your doorstep?!
      Making those initial calls to a few roofing companies was somewhat scary. We had 4 appointments set and only 2 even showed up. One guy came and gave us a hand written quote without even getting up on the roof. Sean came on time, did a full inspection, and came back a couple days later to go over everything with us. Our roof was put on 3 week later and everything went according to plan! Sean was here in Naples for the installation and made sure everything was cleaned up when the crew was done. We are 100% happy and would recommend Selma Roofing and Sean to anyone in need of a new roof!
      What a wonderful experience working with Selma Roofing. Very professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. Always available to take calls. Would highly recommend them.
      I've heard all the Florida stories; needing a new roof immediately puts you into this nightmare of shifty contractors, unavailable products, long wait times, and broken promises, ugh. So I was prepared for the worst when Helene took some of our roof off. I did my due diligence; I checked with my city for licensed and approved contractors, I looked at google reviews, and I called the companies that made the tile and/or metal that I was considering putting on my roof to see who they recommended in my area. That's actually how I accidentally ended up finding Selma Roofing-the tile company had sent me to a roofing company in Charlotte, NC instead of Charlotte County, FL. They were VERY confused when I called them, lol, but they strongly recommended Selma Roofing, so I checked them out online and added them to my list of 3 companies to interview. Company #1 comes out and we get the hard-press-scare-you used car salesman sales tactics. This may work on the elderly, but it didn't sit well with us. Company #2 was solid but only sold aluminum metal roofs, which was our only option besides tile because we live on the ocean and if you look closely at the steel roof warranties they aren't so happy about coastal properties. Anyhoo, the aluminum roof was $25,000 more expensive than tile. For a 1700 sq ft house. Ouch. Company #3 was Selma Roofing & Roofing. From the jump Bill was respectful, thoughtful, and asked a lot of good questions about what we wanted for a roof. He also went up on the roof and checked the existing damage from Helene. We told him we'd like three pricing options for tile, aluminum, and some fancy resin roofs out there that we were considering. His presentation was professional, quick, and balanced with the pro's and con's. One of the things we really liked was that their tile roofs are screwed on with stainless steel screws instead of nailed on with galvanized nails, which corrode and disintegrate in coastal areas in a few years. We also liked how detailed their price sheet was-we could see exactly how many stainless steel screws we were paying for. So we crossed our fingers and went with Selma Roofing. Here's where the story really gets good-they consistently under-promised and over-performed. The tile I wanted was actually in stock, and instead of having to wait for months, it was on my roof within two weeks. The project manager, Ta' Riq, created a group text and consistently sent me live video updates FROM THE ROOF as they were working on it so when issues occurred I could make the decisions on what to do in real time rather than hearing about it later. Ta' Riq was also professional and consistent. We were prepared for what to expect with the tear off as Bill had gone over it with us very thoroughly. It was amazing how many people showed up, how fast they worked, and how nothing was damaged. The people working on the roof were also nice-when I was out walking our dog they'd wave to us from the roof lol. The materials that were promised in the contract were the materials that showed up on the roof. The underlayment of a tile roof is really what keeps your house dry, and I had done my homework about what kind I wanted (Owens Corning), and it was the same type Selma Roofing recommended and installed. The teardown and dry-in was done in two days, and they hustled to get most of the roof on before we had a weird late season tropical storm. The next day they were back at it and had the roof done. All in all from signing the contract to the final approval from the city for a finished roof was about 2 weeks. That's freaking amazing. They were efficient, competent, and talented. My roof looks gorgeous. Our 27 year old house had its original roof on it and is surrounded by new, million dollar plus homes, and so we went from being "that house" to "look at THAT house so cute omg!" Again, I can't say enough good things about these folks and I'm still pinching myself that I have a beautiful roof and ZERO headaches about the entire process thanks to them.
      Bobby did an outstanding job helping me with my new tile roof. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and made the whole process easy. He's hands down the best salesman I've dealt with-his communication was excellent and he kept me updated every step of the way. Couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend asking for Bobby if you're looking at getting a roof!
      The company I work for hired Selma Roofing and we had a great experience. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciate their reliability and would definitely recommend them.
      Let me start by saying I have never felt compelled to write a google review. Having said that I have worked with dozens of contractors over the years and my experience with the Selma Roofing team and Bill Demersky was the best experience ever. I contacted them 3 years ago to repair a leak on my 20+ year old tile roof on Marco. They did a great job on the repair but I was most impressed that Bill drove 7 hours round trip to a tile boneyard to match tile on a repair that was a less that $3000. Had another leak in a different spot this fall and decided to replace the roof. Bill gave me all the options on materials, worked with my design firm and we decided to go with the Worthouse metal tile. It turned out great but what was most important was the way Selma Roofing managed the job. We live in Ohio so doing a remote project is always a bit tricky. The communication from Selma Roofing is exemplary. Status updates we on time and they do a great job over communicating the step by step process. When on site they sent me multiple video updates daily of every step as well as real time calls from the roof while working. Everyone who worked at our house was professional, friendly, and communicative. Bill is always available on his cell by call or text. By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. I'm sure they are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
      Selma Roofing fixed another roofing company's shoddy work. Another roofing company had completed installing our roof from a hurricane claim. While it looked great but lasted 3 years before a preventable leak occurred. That other company took shortcuts. My front bedroom ceiling became wet. I called the original company who (after much encouragement) came out and said they fixed it. A few months later the leak was even worse. I had to again repair the ceiling and walls. I recently learned of Selma Roofing. When I called them, they came out and diagnosed the problem. They were reasonable with the price and took the extra effort to truly fix the situation. They were transparent and showed me the exact problem. They covered my roof right then to prevent further water intrusion and completed the repair within 2 days. No more leak. I recommend them with confidence. Great staff and great work.
      I never leave reviews. Ever. But Selma Roofing saved me. I have an older home and needed a new roof and new roof deck. The other company was cheap. They ended up leaving me with a real mess. Selma Roofing came in and fixed everything. It looks brand new. The crew is exceptional. The customer experience was phenomenal. I will never hire anyone for any work other than Selma Roofing.
      I was SO pleased dealing with Nancy Thompson at Selma Roofing!! She made the project so easy to deal with. The workmanship was wonderful and everyone was courteous. My new roof is perfect. Thank you for the wonderful job!!!
      I had a huge leak in my roof and Selma Roofing rushed out to patch the issue immediately, saving my home from what would have been tons of water damage. Afterwards I got quotes from numerous local companies for a new roof and Selma Roofing had competitive pricing and their people were great to work with so I went forward with them. It's been a year now and I didn't want to give them a review right away because I wanted to make sure the roof was good before giving them my seal of approval. Now I must say it's rained many times since I got my new roof and not a drop of water has entered my home. The roof looks great also. Would definitely recommend getting a new roof from Selma Roofing.
      I don't even know where to begin! From the very first phone call to the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, I can't say enough about how AMAZING Bobby Rodgers and the Selma Roofing Team were. The communication was outstanding - from our project manager who was up on the roof sending videos of the progress, to being included in a text chain with Derrick (the owner) and all parties involved right from the start. It gave us peace of mind knowing that if there was ever a question or concern, we could reach anyone immediately. From the tear-off, to completion, to the final clean-up - everything was absolutely TOP NOTCH. Thank you, Bobby Rodgers and Selma Roofing, for such a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
      Bobby and Selma Roofing were great to work with. Bobby in particular took a personal interest in our roofing project from start to finish. Final result awesome!
      5 stars to Selma Roofing! Everyone involved from sales with Bill Demersky, Nancy Thompson, the owner Sean Dunn, to the roofer and gutter installers, all were polite, professional and organized. Special shoutout for Tariq who project managed the roof installation and kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the process. Cost was on par with 2 other estimates but with Selma Roofing, I felt relaxed and trusted the job would be done on time and as contracted. Job well done by professionals! Thank you!
      It wasn't a big job or huge opportunity, but Selma Roofing came right over to make repairs to my roof when I was in need. The technician was on-time, friendly, reassuring and jumped right on the repairs. He did a very thorough inspection. I was very happy how quickly Selma Roofing took care of my roof repairs.
      Sales process was informative. Start of the project was timely. Staff personnel were very nice and helpful. Ta'Riq was a very good project supervisor. And, it looks great!
      Selma Roofing is an amazing company that not only provides exceptional quality in their work, but gives back to the community, St. Jude's Research and so much more! So here is my story I have to share. I have been a police officer for over 30 years and I have recently retired. I spent my last 5 years of service as a School Resource Officer in SWFL. A few months ago I reached out to the owner of Selma Roofing, Derric Stull, for a roof quote. I knew Derric and his family through the school that I was assigned to protect. My roof is over 20 years old and I needed to replace it. Without my knowledge, Derric, nominated me for a roof replacement program for First Responders with Owens Corning, who is also partnered with The Gary Sinise Foundation. I was selected as the first recipient for this newly launched program! My new roof was just completed and my family and I couldn't be happier! All of the Selma Roofing family is amazing and I would highly recommend them. A special thanks to the installation crew, Derric Stull, Sean Dunn, Nancy Thompson and Bill Demersky. You were all very kind and always professional throughout the entire process. Selma Roofing, are truly a blessing in my life!

      Common Questions

      Metal Roofing FAQs

      Property owners considering metal roofing often have similar questions about performance, installation, and maintenance. Our experienced team has compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive from customers across Selma. If you don't see your question answered here, we're always happy to provide additional information.

      Metal roofing systems are among the longest-lasting roofing options available for residential and commercial properties. When properly installed and maintained, metal roofs routinely perform well for four to five decades, with many installations exceeding this range. The actual lifespan depends on several factors including material quality, installation techniques, local climate conditions, and regular maintenance. Standing seam metal roofs tend to outlast exposed fastener systems because they eliminate the most common failure points. Unlike traditional roofing materials that deteriorate steadily over time, metal roofing maintains its protective qualities throughout most of its service life before requiring replacement. This exceptional longevity makes metal roofing an excellent long-term investment despite higher initial installation expenses compared to some alternatives.
      Modern metal roofing installations incorporate multiple layers of materials that significantly dampen sound transmission from rain, hail, and other weather events. The combination of solid roof decking, quality underlayment, and proper insulation creates an effective sound barrier that makes interior noise levels comparable to other roofing types. Many property owners are surprised to discover that metal roofs installed over proper substrate materials don't produce the loud drumming sounds they might expect. For situations where sound reduction is particularly important, we can incorporate additional soundproofing measures during installation. Specialized underlayments and insulation products designed specifically for metal roofing applications further minimize noise transmission. Properties with finished attic spaces or living areas directly beneath the roof benefit most from these sound-reducing enhancements. The perception that metal roofs are inherently noisy comes from agricultural or industrial buildings where metal panels are installed directly over open framing without sound-dampening layers.
      Metal roofing actually helps reduce cooling loads during warm months when properly installed with appropriate ventilation and reflective coatings. The key lies in understanding how metal roofing manages solar energy differently than traditional materials. Dark-colored asphalt shingles absorb solar radiation and transfer that heat into the building envelope, while metal roofing with reflective finishes bounces much of that solar energy back into the atmosphere before it can warm your property. This reflective property, combined with the natural tendency of metal to release absorbed heat quickly once the sun sets, creates a cooler roof surface compared to asphalt products. Proper attic ventilation further enhances this cooling effect by allowing hot air to escape before it transfers through ceiling insulation. Many metal roofing systems qualify for energy efficiency tax credits and utility rebates because of their documented ability to reduce cooling costs. Light-colored or specially coated metal roofing delivers the most significant energy savings, though even darker metal finishes outperform traditional asphalt shingles in heat management.
      In many situations, metal roofing can be installed directly over existing roofing materials, though this decision depends on several important factors that require professional evaluation. Local building codes establish specific requirements regarding the number of roofing layers permitted on any structure, and these regulations must be followed regardless of technical feasibility. The condition and type of your existing roof also influences whether overlay installation makes sense for your project. If the current roof deck has suffered water damage, structural deterioration, or significant unevenness, removing the old roofing materials becomes necessary to ensure proper metal panel installation. Similarly, multiple layers of existing roofing typically need removal before adding metal roofing to avoid excessive weight on the structure. When conditions are favorable, installing metal roofing over existing materials can reduce labor expenses and project duration while keeping old roofing materials out of landfills. Our team conducts thorough inspections to determine whether your property is a good candidate for overlay installation or whether complete tear-off and replacement would deliver better long-term results.
      Metal roofing systems provide exceptional protection during severe weather events including high winds, heavy rainfall, and hail storms. The interlocking panel designs and secure fastening methods used in quality metal roof installations create continuous weather barriers that resist wind uplift forces far better than individual shingles or tiles. Many metal roofing products carry wind ratings exceeding what most residential areas require, providing an extra margin of safety during severe storms. The solid surface of metal roofing sheds water quickly and efficiently, preventing the moisture infiltration problems that sometimes affect other roofing types during extended rainfall. While large hail can dent metal roofing panels, these cosmetic impacts rarely compromise the roof's protective function or structural integrity. Some metal roofing profiles are specifically engineered to resist hail damage better than others, and we can recommend appropriate options if hail is a concern in your area. Metal roofing's fire resistance provides additional protection during wildfire season or when nearby properties experience fire emergencies. The combination of wind resistance, water shedding capability, impact tolerance, and fire protection makes metal roofing one of the most weather-resistant options available.
      Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials, though some periodic attention helps maximize lifespan and performance. Annual inspections allow property owners to identify and address small issues before they develop into larger problems requiring extensive repairs. During these inspections, we check for loose fasteners, damaged sealants, debris accumulation in valleys or around penetrations, and any panel damage from falling branches or other impacts. Keeping gutters and roof surfaces clear of leaves, pine needles, and other organic debris prevents moisture retention and potential corrosion in vulnerable areas. Trees overhanging your roof should be trimmed back to prevent branch damage and reduce debris accumulation. Some metal roofing installations benefit from periodic cleaning to remove dirt, mildew, or algae growth that can affect appearance, though this cleaning is purely cosmetic rather than structurally necessary. Coastal properties or those in particularly humid climates may benefit from more frequent inspections to catch any corrosion issues early. Fasteners, sealants, and flashing components occasionally need attention or replacement as they age, but these maintenance tasks are straightforward and far less demanding than the regular repairs required by many other roofing types.
