FAQ

Straight Answers

How long does a metal roof actually last?
With a quality finish, 40–70 years. Every Delta Metals panel carries a Sherwin-Williams 40-year paint warranty, and the steel itself typically outlives the finish. Compare that to 15–20 years for asphalt shingles.
Will a metal roof lower my insurance or energy bills?
Often both. Metal roofing and siding are certified Energy Saver products that reflect heat and can lower cooling costs, and many insurers offer discounts for impact-resistant metal roofs. Steel siding can also increase home value by 1–6%.
What gauge steel should I choose?
29-gauge is our standard for most residential and ag applications. 26-gauge adds strength for commercial buildings, high-wind sites, or long panel runs, and select colors are available in it. Standing seam runs 26 or 24. Your specialist will recommend the right gauge for your spans and snow loads.
How fast can I get my panels?
Because we roll-form locally at our Midwest plants, typical turnaround is measured in days, not weeks. Panels are cut to your exact lengths, so there's no field trimming or waste.
Do you deliver to my job site?
Yes. We deliver across Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and the surrounding region. Delivery is quoted with your order based on distance and load.
Can I buy just doors, windows, or trim?
Absolutely. Garage doors, walk doors, sliding doors, windows, and trim are available separately as well as in building packages.
