Metal Shingles

If you’re looking for a roof that stands up to harsh Minnesota weather without sacrificing curb appeal, metal shingles might be your match. These coated steel shingles offer the clean look of traditional roofing with the unmatched durability of metal. They're long-lasting, low-maintenance, and come in styles that fit everything from classic to modern homes.

Let’s break down the benefits, what installation looks like, and how to keep them looking sharp for decades.

What Are Coated Steel Roof Shingles?

Coated steel shingles are tough, weather-resistant panels made from galvanized steel and finished with a protective layer of paint or polymer. That outer coating adds more than just color—it helps resist rust, fading, and corrosion, even in Minnesota’s toughest seasons. The result? A strong, sleek roof that holds up year after year and still looks sharp doing it.

Types of Coated Steel Shingles

Coated steel shingles aren’t one-size-fits-all—they come in a variety of textures and finishes so you can match your roof to your home’s style:

• Textured Coatings – Designed to look like traditional shingles or shakes, but with the added strength and longevity of steel.
• Smooth Finishes – Clean lines and bold color choices for a more modern or contemporary look.
• Metallic Finishes – These reflect light beautifully and give your roof a standout, high-end appearance. Whatever your style, there’s a steel shingle that delivers both curb appeal and long-term performance.

Why Homeowners Choose Coated Steel Shingles

Coated steel shingles aren't just tough—they’re a smart investment in long-term performance and peace of mind. Here’s why they stand out:

•  Built to Last – These shingles are made to handle whatever Minnesota weather throws at them—hail, wind, snow, and more—for 40+ years.
• Rust-Resistant Finish – A specialized coating protects against rust and corrosion, so your roof stays strong and good-looking for decades.
•  Energy Smart – Reflective surfaces bounce back the sun’s heat, helping your home stay cooler and cutting down on those summer energy bills.
• Minimal Maintenance – Forget frequent repairs—coated steel shingles just need the occasional checkup and cleaning.
•  Fire-Safe – Steel doesn’t burn. Simple as that.

Want a roof that works as hard as you do? Coated steel might be the perfect fit.

How we Install Coated Steel Shingles (the Right Way)

At Superior Point Exteriors, we treat every roof like it’s protecting our own home. Here’s what you can expect when we install your coated steel roof:

•  Prep Work – We carefully remove any existing roofing and check the decking underneath for damage to make sure your new roof is built on a solid foundation.
• Underlayment Installation – A water-resistant underlayment is installed to guard against moisture intrusion and provide a second layer of protection.
• Starter Shingles – We lay a precise starter course at the eaves to prevent water from sneaking in and to align everything for a clean, straight finish.
• Shingle Installation – Each steel shingle is installed with interlocking precision per manufacturer specs, working from the bottom up for proper drainage and structural integrity.
•  Flashing & Details – We seal around chimneys, vents, and valleys using high-quality flashing to keep vulnerable areas watertight.
•  Final Walkthrough – We finish with a full inspection to double-check fasteners, clean the site, and ensure every detail meets our high standards.

It’s not just about putting shingles on—it’s about installing a system that protects your home for decades.

Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Metal Roof Looking Sharp

Coated steel shingles are built to last, but a little routine care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your roof in top shape:

• Inspect After Storms – Give your roof a quick visual check after any major weather event and plan a full inspection at least twice a year.
• Clear Off Debris – Keep your roof and gutters clear of leaves, branches, and dirt to avoid moisture buildup that could lead to premature wear.
•  Watch the Flashing – Take a look around chimneys, skylights, and vents—these are common trouble spots. If you see cracked sealant or gaps, it’s time to call us.
•  Clean Gently When Needed – If your roof is looking dusty or streaked, a soft brush and a little mild soap is all it takes to freshen it up.
• Fix Small Issues Fast – Don’t ignore small signs like a discolored panel or a loose fastener. These are easy fixes if caught early and prevent bigger headaches later.
