A metal roof is the last roof you'll ever need. Standing seam metal lasts 40-60 years with virtually zero maintenance. It reflects solar heat, sheds hail and debris better than asphalt, and handles KY wind speeds that would rip shingles off. Frakes Roofing & Maintenance installs residential and commercial metal roofing throughout Frakes.
We install 24-gauge and 26-gauge steel panels in Galvalume and pre-painted finishes. Kynar 500 PVDF fluoropolymer coating is the gold standard. It resists fading, chalking, and color shift for 40+ years. Sheffield Metals and McElroy Metal are our primary suppliers, both with proven track records.
Our Metal Roofing Process
Design & Material Selection
We discuss your goals, show you panel and color samples, and help you choose the right metal system for your Frakes home. Standing seam, corrugated, or metal shingle. Each has different aesthetics, costs, and performance characteristics.
Custom Panel Fabrication
Metal roof panels are custom-ordered to the exact lengths needed for your roof. Trim, flashing, and ridge cap pieces specified and fabricated for your specific roof geometry. Lead time is typically 2-3 weeks for custom orders.
Professional Metal Crew
Our metal roofing crew installs panels from eave to ridge, securing with concealed clips that allow thermal movement. Every seam interlocked by hand. Flashing details custom-bent on-site for penetrations and transitions.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the property with you and point out the finished details. Manufacturer warranty and workmanship warranty provided in writing. Your metal roof is covered for decades.

Why Choose Frakes Roofing & Maintenance for Metal Roofing?
Dedicated Metal Crew
Our metal roofing installers do metal work exclusively. They're not shingle crews handling an occasional metal job. Tight seams, clean transitions, and proper flashing, every time.
Kynar PVDF Finish
40-year color warranty on Kynar 500 PVDF coatings. No fading, no chalking, no color shift. Your metal roof looks the same in 20 years as it does on install day.
Class 4 Impact Resistance
UL 2218 Class 4 rated. Handles the largest hail without compromising the waterproof system. Often qualifies for insurance premium discounts in KY.
Energy Savings
Reflective metal reduces cooling costs 15-25%. In KY heat, that adds up fast. Metal pays for itself over its lifetime in energy savings alone.
