Recommended Metal Roof Types

#1 Recommended

Standing seam (mechanically seamed, concealed-fastener) steel or aluminum

Best wind uplift performance for coastal/hurricane exposure and the FORTIFIED Roof-eligible construction the NCIUA grant programs target; also sheds snow/ice well in the mountains and is the preferred premium choice statewide.

#2 Recommended

Aluminum standing seam

Naturally corrosion-resistant, recommended over bare steel for the immediate coastal strip/Outer Banks salt-air exposure.

#3 Recommended

Stone-coated steel shingle/tile panels

Popular for matching traditional/coastal and historic-district aesthetics (shake, slate, tile look) while retaining Class A fire and high impact resistance.

#4 Recommended

Exposed-fastener corrugated/ribbed steel (26-29 gauge)

Lower-cost option common on rural, agricultural, and budget re-roofs; adequate for inland/Piedmont wind zones but not preferred in high hurricane wind zones versus standing seam.

Local Climate Risk

Weather Perils in Winston-Salem

Severe thunderstorms with large hail (spring/summer)
High wind events and occasional tornadoes (Piedmont tornado activity)
Winter ice storms and freezing rain (ice-dam risk)
Heavy, humid summer heat (UV/thermal roof-material stress)
Remnant tropical-storm rainfall and flash flooding (inland remnants of Atlantic hurricanes)
Wildfire risk on wooded rural lots near Pilot Mountain/Sauratown Mountains (Stokes/Yadkin/Davie)

Typical Installed Cost

$9-$14/sq ft

Typical installed cost

Typical NC installed costs run roughly $9-$14/sq ft for exposed-fastener corrugated/ribbed panel systems, $12-$22/sq ft for standing seam steel, and $12-$25+/sq ft for aluminum standing seam or stone-coated steel shingle systems, with premium coastal-rated (FORTIFIED-compliant, sealed-deck, heavier-gauge) standing seam installations trending toward the higher end of these ranges.
