Metal Roofing in Canton, GA
Canton is home for Fowler Exteriors. Our shop sits at 3000 Ficklen Church Way, and we install, replace and repair metal roofs for homeowners across Canton and the rest of Cherokee County. When you call, you’re talking to a local family-owned company, not a call center, and we can usually get out to look at your roof without a long drive.
Most people don’t think about the roof until something shows up: a leak, a soft spot, a stain on the ceiling or shingles in the yard after a storm. If you’re at that point and thinking about metal, we’ll look at what you have now, explain your options in plain terms and let you decide. Call (770) 800-8758 or read what our clients have to say about our metal roof installation, repair and replacement work.
Canton Metal Roof Options
More Canton homeowners are choosing metal when it’s time to replace an aging roof. It comes in a wide range of colors and profiles, so it can suit a farmhouse out toward the county line just as well as a newer home in a subdivision. These are the main types we install:
- Metal shingles – The look of shingles, shakes or slate with a metal roof underneath.
- Ribbed panel/corrugated metal – Exposed-fastener panels that suit a lot of Canton homes, porches and outbuildings. They work on both steep and lower-pitched roofs and come in many colors.
- Standing seam – Continuous panels that run from ridge to eave, with raised seams and hidden fasteners. Clean lines and very few exposed screws. More below.
- Stone coated steel – Steel panels with a stone-chip finish that look like shingles or tile. More below.
Metal roofs are highly sought-after for a reason as they provide high-quality protection for your roof and home. In addition to a number of metal roofing systems/styles to choose from, Fowler Exteriors also offers several options for metal roofing materials, including:
- Copper – This kind of roofing has a captivating three-dimensional curb appeal that makes your roof stand out. Copper roofing is a great way to increase the aesthetic value of your home, while still retaining the primary characteristics of metal roofs.
- Zinc – Compared to other metal roofing materials, zinc is a highly malleable material. If you’re keen on recyclable materials that won’t harm the environment, then zinc is a good choice. Moreover, you’ll be able to save on electrical bills knowing that you won’t have to use heaters or air conditioning units since this material can help retain internal temperatures.
- Aluminum – This material is highly favored by contractors since it is lightweight, easy to install and highly resistant to the effects of erosion and corrosion that can easily affect naturally-cut slate roofs and other roofing. The high levels of resistance from flowing water make this a good choice for homes located in coastal areas.
- Stainless steel – For centuries, steel has been known as one of the most durable building materials in the roofing industry. If your home is situated in areas on the path of strong winds and hailstorms, then stainless steel roofing can easily withstand winds of up to 135 mph. It is also resistant to high energy impacts. However, compared to other lightweight materials, steel roofing can be heavier and put stress on your roof’s support. It is recommended that you install additional joists to reinforce your roof’s support.
Standing Seam for Cherokee County Homes
Standing seam is the metal roof most people picture: long, flat panels with a raised seam every so often. The fasteners sit under the seams instead of through the face of the panel, so there are far fewer places for water to get in, and there’s less to keep an eye on over the years.
It works on a traditional Canton home as well as a more modern build, and it’s a good fit for the steep roofs, wooded lots and summer storms we see around Cherokee County. For colors, panel details and how we install it, see our standing seam metal roof page.
Stone-Coated Metal If You Want the Look of Shingles
Some homeowners want the strength of steel but don’t want their house to look like it has a metal roof. That’s what stone-coated metal is for. It’s a steel panel with a layer of stone chips on top, shaped to look like shingles, shake or tile.
It’s a good option in neighborhoods where you want the roof to blend in with the homes around you. Learn more about stone-coated metal roofs, or ask us to bring samples when we come out.

What’s the difference between standing seam and ribbed panel?
Standing seam has hidden fasteners under raised seams, so there are fewer exposed screws. Ribbed panel uses exposed fasteners and is a practical choice for many homes, porches and outbuildings. We’ll show you both and explain which fits your roof.
Can a metal roof look like shingles?
Yes. Stone-coated metal and metal shingles are made to look like shingles, shake or tile. See our stone-coated metal roofs page for more.
Do you repair metal roofs, or only replace them?
Both. If a repair will take care of the problem, we’ll tell you. See metal roof repair or roof repair in Canton.
Is metal or shingle better for my Canton home?
It depends on your house, your budget and how long you plan to stay. We install both, so we don’t have a reason to push one. Compare with our Canton shingle roof replacement page, or ask us during the estimate.
