Rivas Roofing installs and replaces standing seam and corrugated metal systems for offices, retail, and industrial properties. We focus on maintaining clean details and long-term performance, so your roof looks sharp and holds up for decades.
Durable Roofing With Clean,
Modern Appeal
Metal roofing is a commercial roofing system made from steel or aluminum panels. You’ll typically see it installed as standing seam panels with concealed fasteners or corrugated panels with exposed fasteners. These are carefully engineered to handle temperature movement, resist corrosion, and shed water, making them a solid choice for offices, warehouses, retail buildings, and mixed-use properties.
For commercial buildings, metal roofing offers long service life, strong wind resistance, and compatibility with insulation and ventilation systems. It can also be installed over certain existing roofs, reducing tear-off costs when conditions allow. With proper detailing around penetrations, gutters, and wall transitions, metal roofing delivers reliable performance while giving your building a clean, modern appearance that holds up under heavy use over time.
How We Handle Commercial Metal Roofing
We start by climbing your roof to evaluate the slope, structural decking, existing insulation, and drainage. We check penetrations, edge conditions, and wall transitions, then walk you through your options: standing seam or corrugated panels. From there, we confirm panel gauge, clip spacing, expansion clearances, and fastening patterns to ensure long-term movement control and watertight performance.
Once installation begins, we prep the substrate, install high-temperature underlayment, and lay the panels with consistent alignment and proper overlap. We then use concealed clip systems or gasketed fasteners, depending on the panel profile, and detail seams, ridge caps, rake edges, and gutters. We carefully flash HVAC curbs, vents, and parapet walls, then finish with a full inspection to verify drainage, fastening, and clean workmanship before sign-off.
Benefits of Commercial Metal Roofing
Long Service Life With Minimal Maintenance
Commercial metal roofing is built to last for decades with far less upkeep than many traditional roofing systems. Properly installed metal panels resist cracking, warping, and rot, and they hold up well against UV exposure and temperature swings. Routine inspections and maintenance are usually all that’s needed to keep the system performing reliably year after year.
Strong Performance in Wind and Weather
Metal roofing systems are engineered to handle high winds, heavy rain, and changing weather conditions common in Southern California. Interlocking panels and secure fastening methods help prevent uplift and water intrusion. When detailed correctly at seams, penetrations, and edges, the roof maintains its integrity even during severe weather events.
Energy Efficiency and Temperature Control
Metal roofing can help manage interior temperatures by reflecting solar heat and working efficiently with insulation systems. Many commercial metal panels are available with cool roof coatings that meet energy standards. This can reduce heat gain, improve indoor comfort, and help lower cooling costs for offices, retail spaces, and industrial buildings.
Clean Appearance and Design Flexibility
Metal roofing offers a clean, modern look that works well across many commercial building styles. Panels come in various profiles, colors, and finishes, allowing the roof to complement your property’s design. Whether you’re upgrading an older structure or finishing new construction, metal systems deliver both function and curb appeal.
