Findlay Roof Pros provides professional metal roofing in Findlay, OH for residential and commercial properties across Hancock County and northwest Ohio. Two very different products get sold as metal roofing around here, and confusing them is how people end up disappointed. Standing seam hides its fasteners under a folded or snapped seam. Exposed-fastener panel, the corrugated sheet on every barn in the county, is screwed through the face into the purlin.
Farm country gives exposed-fastener panel a good reputation it half deserves. On a pole barn, a machine shed or a shop, it is the correct answer: cheap, fast, replaceable a sheet at a time, and sitting over a structure nobody minds walking on to do the work. We install it that way constantly around Hancock County and we recommend it without hesitation on outbuildings.
On a house it is a false economy, and the reason is the gasket. Every screw carries a rubber washer that compresses at installation and then works loose across years of thermal movement, because steel expands and contracts far more than the wood beneath it. Somewhere around the fifteen-year mark the roof needs a full re-screw, and if that maintenance gets skipped the panel begins leaking at several hundred separate points at once.
Standing seam avoids that by putting nothing through the surface. Panels clip to the deck and move with temperature instead of fighting the fastener. It costs considerably more up front, it wants a flat and competent deck underneath it, and on a straightforward gable in this area it will outlast two or three asphalt roofs without attention.
The decision we get asked about most is metal over existing shingles. It can be done properly over furring, and it is genuinely attractive on a tight budget. We are cautious about it here for one specific reason: it puts the deck permanently out of sight, and on a Findlay house the deck is already something no inspector has ever looked at. Covering it means you are trusting a surface neither of us has seen.
So we quote it both ways and show you the difference in writing. If the deck comes up sound during the tear-off, you have lost very little by looking. If it comes up soft along the north slope or around an old chimney penetration, you have avoided fastening a forty-year roof onto wood that was never going to hold the clips.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — six-nail high-wind fastening pattern, self-adhered ice and water shield, hot-air welded TPO seams, counter flashing let into a mortar joint, hidden gutter hangers on two-foot centers, curb-mounted skylight flashing kits — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Findlay and nearby communities including Fostoria, Bowling Green, Tiffin, Lima.

Materials, equipment and how we do metal roofing
The difference between metal roofing that lasts and metal roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with six-nail high-wind fastening pattern, self-adhered ice and water shield, hot-air welded TPO seams, counter flashing let into a mortar joint, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Findlay job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Hancock County and northwest Ohio means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Findlay Chooses Findlay Roof Pros
- ✓We explain which office governs your building before quoting, because in Findlay a house and a fourplex answer to two different desks in two different counties.
- ✓The layer count goes in the quote. Somebody lifts a corner at the eave first, so the tear-off price is measured rather than assumed from a satellite image.
- ✓Every tear-off produces photographs of the bare deck before underlayment. On a house no inspector ever sees, that set of images replaces the inspection you never get.
- ✓Attic footprint measured and the required net free ventilating area run on the quote at published vent values, so you can check the arithmetic with a calculator.
