Standing Seam Metal Roof and Gutter Upgrade in Chapel Hill

This Chapel Hill home needed a real upgrade at the top. The old roofing system had run its course, and the 5-inch gutters weren't keeping up with the water load. So we came in and replaced everything - new standing seam metal roof and upgraded 6-inch aluminum gutters to match.

Standing seam is one of the most durable roofing systems you can put on a house. The panels lock together at the seams, which keeps water out and holds up against wind in a way that standard shingles simply can't compete with. For a wooded lot like this one surrounded by trees and all the debris that comes with them, that kind of protection matters a lot.

The gutter upgrade is something homeowners don't always think about when they're replacing a roof - but it's worth paying attention to. Going from 5-inch to 6-inch aluminum gutters means significantly better water flow capacity. That difference is especially important on a home with multiple roof planes and valleys directing water toward the same drainage points.

The end result is a home that's better protected from top to bottom. The standing seam panels run clean and tight across the entire roof, and the new gutters sit flush and properly pitched all the way around. It's the kind of work that holds up for decades and doesn't demand much from you once it's done. That's exactly what a metal roof should deliver.
