Metal Roof Installation in Montgomery, NJ – Porch New Construction Project
In Montgomery, NJ, our team carried out a metal roof installation over the main entrance of a private home. The project was completed as new construction rather than a metal roof replacement, meaning the porch structure and the entire roofing assembly were built from scratch.
The objective was to design a strong, low-maintenance porch roof that enhances curb appeal while providing reliable protection from rain and snow. To achieve this, we selected standing seam aluminum panels as the finished roofing surface.
Why Metal Roofing Was Chosen
Using a new-construction approach, the roofing system is installed from the structural deck up to the final metal panels. For this porch, we first built the supporting framework, then completed the full roofing system installation.
Why standing seam aluminum was the right choice:
Standing seam panels feature raised vertical seams that lock together using either a snap-lock or mechanically seamed profile. Since the fasteners are hidden beneath the panels rather than exposed on the surface, the roof delivers enhanced leak protection and long-term structural integrity.
Metal roof installation in New Jersey must account for regional weather challenges – including snow accumulation, ice formation, heavy rainfall, and seasonal temperature swings. Aluminum panels, paired with a high-quality underlayment system, provide dependable performance under these conditions.
Project Phases
Base Preparation
A durable plywood roof deck was installed over the newly framed porch structure. The decking was carefully checked for level alignment, proper fastening, and overall rigidity to ensure a stable foundation for the metal system.
Installation of Synthetic Underlayment
Next, we applied a premium synthetic roofing underlayment across the entire deck surface.
This protective layer serves several important functions:
Compared to traditional felt paper, synthetic underlayment offers greater tear resistance and superior moisture performance.
Installation of Drip Edge and Perimeter Flashing
Perimeter drip edges and trim components were installed to direct water away from the roof edges. Proper flashing ensures efficient drainage and prevents water infiltration at vulnerable transition points.
Standing Seam Aluminum Panel Installation
After completing the preparation stages, the metal roof installation process moved forward:
The hidden clip system allows the aluminum panels to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes – a critical feature for New Jersey’s fluctuating climate.
