Northern Michigan’s metal roofing specialists

Revive Exteriors specializes in high-efficiency metal roofing for residential and commercial properties across 23 Northern Michigan counties. From lakefront homes in Traverse City to cabins near Gaylord and commercial buildings in Cadillac, we install metal roofs engineered for heavy snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and high winds.

We install two proven systems: Tilcor stone-coated steel, which gives you the look of shake, shingle, or tile with the strength of steel, and standing seam metal, with clean vertical lines and concealed fasteners. Both are built to outlast a typical asphalt roof by decades.

Why homeowners up north are switching to metal

  • Sheds snow and ice far more readily than shingles, helping reduce heavy snow loads and ice dams.
  • Lasts 50 years or more, often two to three times longer than asphalt.
  • Energy efficient, with reflective finishes that help keep attics cooler in summer.
  • Storm tough, with Class 4 impact-rated and Class A fire-rated options.
  • Low maintenance: no curling, cracking, or missing shingles to chase every spring.

Two Proven Systems

Stone-coated steel or standing seam?

Both systems deliver the long life and snow-shedding performance of metal. The right choice comes down to the look you want, your roof’s pitch, and how the building is used.

Tilcor Stone-Coated Steel

The look of shake or tile, the strength of steel

Tilcor roofing panels are made from Zincalume® steel finished with natural stone granules. The interlocking, individually fastened panels give you a traditional roofline, like the CF Shake profile we install, without the weaknesses of wood or asphalt.

  • Class 4 (UL 2218) impact rating for hail resistance
  • Class A fire rating, non-combustible steel core
  • Engineered for winds up to 120 mph
  • Stone finish dampens rain noise and won’t fade like paint
  • Shake, shingle, and tile profiles to suit any home

Best for: homeowners who want a traditional look with lifetime-level durability.

Standing Seam Metal

Clean lines that shed snow fast

Standing seam roofs use long vertical panels joined by raised seams, with the fasteners hidden underneath. With no exposed screws to loosen over time, it’s one of the most weather-tight roofs you can put on a building.

  • Concealed fasteners for fewer leak points
  • Smooth panels shed heavy snow and ice quickly
  • Reflective painted finishes in a wide range of colors
  • Works on lower-slope roofs where shingles struggle
  • Ideal for modern homes, cabins, shops, and commercial buildings

Best for: a modern or farmhouse look, low-slope roofs, and commercial properties.

Metal Roofing FAQ

Metal roofing questions, answered

How long does a metal roof last?+
A professionally installed metal roof can protect your home for 50 years or more, often two to three times longer than a typical asphalt shingle roof. Tilcor stone-coated steel and standing seam systems are both backed by long-term manufacturer warranties, and we stand behind every installation.
Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?+
Not the way most people expect. We install metal over solid decking and underlayment, which deadens sound, and Tilcor’s stone-coated surface dampens rain noise even further. Most homeowners say it sounds no louder than shingles.
Will snow slide off a metal roof?+
Yes, and that’s one of its biggest advantages up north. Metal sheds snow and ice far more readily than shingles, which helps reduce heavy snow loads and ice dams. Where sliding snow could land on entries, walkways, or decks, we install snow guards to keep it under control.
Is metal roofing energy efficient?+
It can be. Reflective metal finishes bounce back more of the sun’s heat than dark asphalt, which helps keep attics cooler in summer and can lower cooling costs. Paired with proper attic insulation and ventilation, a metal roof is one of the most efficient roofing upgrades for a Northern Michigan home.
What is the difference between stone-coated steel and standing seam?+
Stone-coated steel, like Tilcor, uses interlocking steel panels finished with natural stone granules, so it looks like shake, shingle, or tile while performing like steel. Standing seam uses long vertical panels with raised seams and concealed fasteners for a clean, modern look. We’ll help you choose the right fit for your home, budget, and roof pitch.
Does a metal roof cost more than shingles?+
Metal costs more upfront, but because it can last decades longer and needs very little maintenance, its cost over the life of your home is often lower. Some insurers also offer discounts for Class 4 impact-rated roofs. Your complimentary estimate can price both options side by side.
Does a metal roof attract lightning?+
No. A metal roof doesn’t make your home more likely to be struck by lightning, and because metal is non-combustible, it’s a safer surface if a strike ever does occur.
Do you install metal roofing on commercial buildings?+
Yes. We install high-efficiency metal roofing on both residential and commercial properties across Northern Michigan, including standing seam systems for commercial buildings, shops, and outbuildings.
