Providing Exceptional Metal Roofing Services
Metal roofs have many distinct advantages over other roofing materials. They are durable, lightweight, easy to install and are fireproof. With a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from, Kirkness Roofing Inc. can achieve virtually any look you want for your home.
Types of Metal Roofing
Metal roofing offers a wide spectrum of variations and materials under its umbrella, all of which can be installed by Kirkness Roofing Inc.. These are some of the most popular metal roofing varieties:
Aluminium Roofing
Aluminum roofing has many benefits that homeowners and business owners are attracted to. While it is durable, corrosion-resistant, cost-effective, and eco-friendly, aluminum roofing also doesn’t rust, enables smoother water runoff, and reflects the sun better than other metal roofing materials. This also makes it energy-efficient.
Steel Roofing
A popular choice for roofing in hail-prone areas particularly, steel roofing is super durable and low maintenance, which ranks it high on the longevity scale. Like most metal roofing materials, the heat reflection also contributes to reduced energy use and costs.
Copper Roofing
Copper as a roofing material is definitely one of the more rare metal roofing alternatives, but it’s unique finish is one of its stand-out features and one that is bound to increase the home’s curb appeal. Given its light weight and malleability, it can be fashioned in a variety of ways to mimic tiles, shingles, brick, etc.
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing-seam is the most popular iteration of metal roofing. Essentially, this type of roofing raises the seams beyond the level of the actual roof, thereby creating panels that run from the ridge to the eaves of the roof. Its interlocking system ensures that a watertight seal is created, and also makes it one of the strongest, most reliable roof systems on the market today.
Corrugated Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal is made from galvanized steel rolled into a wavy pattern. This corrugation process enhances the strength of the material, making corrugated metal roofing a tough metal roofing option. It’s often seen in industry and less on homes, but its light weight, durability and water-shedding features are making it a viable option for the home.
Advantages of Metal Roofs
Metal is one of the most reliable roofing materials on the market for both residential and commercial roofs. These are some of the characteristics that make it a great roofing option:
Durability
Metal roofing holds up well against all types of harsh weather conditions. It is even able to withstand debris and animal activity. The impact of extreme weather in the Billings area makes metal roofing an excellent choice for durability.
Low maintenance
Maintenance on a metal roof is so easy that you could almost install it and forget about it. As with any roofing material, regular maintenance is a must, but the upkeep on a metal roofing is so limited, that compared to other solutions like shingles, concrete, or tile, you’ll have a worry-free roof and save on costs in the long run.
Longevity
Metal roofing, like other roofing materials such as tile roofs, has a long lifespan of up to 50-70 years due to its durability and ease of maintenance.That means that you may very well never have to replace your home’s roof again in your lifetime.
Environmentally friendly
In most cases, a quality metal roof will be made of anything from 35% – 95% recyclable and/or recycled material. While the lifespan of a metal roofing will be very long, when it does come time to remove it for whatever reason, the entire thing will be 100% recyclable, as opposed to being dumped in a landfill. In addition, its heat-reflecting capabilities means the homeowner will save on home energy costs too, by reducing the need for cooling in the home.
Value
While your metal roofing will cost more up front to install, it will cost less over its lifetime. The long-term investment is well worth it considering the reduction of maintenance and repair costs over the roof’s lifetime – a far cry from alternatives like asphalt shingles. On top of that, metal roof warranties also tend to be exceptional.
FAQs
Close
How long do metal roofs last?
Metal is one of the roofing materials giving homeowners minimal hassle and bang for their buck in terms of longevity. While some materials may require a roof replacement every 20-30 years, metal roofs can enjoy a lifespan of 40-70 years. This means you may never have to replace your home’s roof in your lifetime again.
Are metal roofs noisy when it rains?
Many have this misconception of noise caused by metal roofing, thanks in large part due to older methods of installation. These days metal roofs are installed over solid roof deck, which, apart from providing a foundation, also functions to absorb sound. This greatly reduces noise caused by rain or hail and what you hear is likely at the same pitch as other roofing material types.
Do metal roofs keep the house cooler?
One of metal’s best characteristics is the that fact that it reflects heat in summer, which can greatly reduce the home’s temperature and mitigate the need for any energy-guzzling artificial cooling.

Rob Horton was simply outstanding. Very personable and knowledgeable. Had a small leak around the flashing on my chimney that was coming in the house. Probably could have sealed it myself but at my age the wife, my best friend, does … More not want me on the roof.
Well Rob climbed up and checked my roof saying it was in good shape and sealed off the chimney and another area on the back of the house.
Then followed up after the last rain to check if it was sealed good.
I ever need more roofing help I will only call Kirkness and Rob Horton.
Thanks again -
Kirkness has been my roofer of choice for over a decade. They work with your insurer, provide detailed, itemized estimates and are a locally owned business here in Billings and are invested in doing professional, quality work. They can … More handle jobs that require customized fabrication and leave your jobsite absolutely nail-free and tidy. In 2010, after the tornado, when the city was full of out-of-state roofers of all stripes, we knew that relying on local was best and best for Billings. From the office staff to the roof crews, Kirkness is definitely 5 Stars! I wholeheartedly tell you that you're going to be happy with their work and their integrity.

I called Kirkness after realizing our roof was leaking when it rained, into the house. I've never had to deal with such an issue, and am not well educated on roofing. Rob came out on time, which was a HUGE help because I only had limited … More time due to my work schedule to meet with someone at the home. He was kind, considerate, educational and even went the extra mile to caulk/seal some areas of our roof that had flexed due to the age of the home, to see if that would stop the leaking at no charge. I was skeptical, but it stopped the leak and this was after a previous company came out and tried to convince us to submit an insurance claim and replace the roof.
Rob saved us time, money, and from the fear of having a really awful spring. It's rained a few times since and not a drop. Thank you Kirkness for being there quickly and not taking advantage! We will definitely be coming back in the future! -

Recently I had a project that needed fixing on my roof. I was lead to Robert who was working on a project in my neighborhood. He immediately assessed the problem and was able to fix it in short period of time. He showed how much he cares … More about his customers and how willing he is to go the extra mile to see that the job is done correctly. I truly appreciate the kindness he showed.
I highly recommend Kirkness Roofing. If all their employees are like Robert, and I am sure they are, Kirkness has a high quality team working for them. The job they do will be outstanding. I will work with them on any future needs I have.
