Overview

How metal-over-metal recover works

The existing metal roof becomes structural substrate. We install rigid framing across the existing panels, add insulation if needed, install new decking material, and roll new standing seam panels at your property.

The result is a new 50+ year roof system with all the benefits of new construction — without the downtime, disposal cost, and weather exposure of full tear-off.

Why Collins

Why Collins for commercial recover

01

Onsite roll-forming for commercial

For large commercial buildings, we set up the roll-former directly on the roof — eliminating the need to lift hundreds of long panels.

02

No tear-off, no downtime

Your facility stays operational throughout. The existing roof remains weatherproof until the new system is in place.

03

In-house sheet metal

Custom flashings and transitions fabricated at our Cloquet shop ensure proper integration at all roof penetrations.
