Compass Exteriors completed a standing seam metal roof replacement in Kittery Point, ME, upgrading the home to a coastal-ready roofing system built to handle wind-driven rain, salt air, and harsh New England storms. The project included a full tear-off, roof deck inspection/repairs as needed, installation of a high-performance underlayment, and precision detailing at the most failure-prone areas—edges, transitions, and roof penetrations—to ensure long-term watertight performance and a clean architectural finish. Quick FAQs How long does a standing seam metal roof last in Maine? With proper installation and quality detailing, standing seam metal roofs can last decades. Is standing seam worth it near the ocean? Yes—areas like Kittery Point benefit from metal’s durability and water-shedding performance, especially in wind and coastal conditions. Does a metal roof leak more than shingles? No. Leaks typically come from poor flashing/penetration details, not the metal panels themselves. How long does a metal roof replacement take? Often a few days, depending on roof size/complexity, weather, and any deck repairs discovered during tear-off.
