ALUMINUM ROOFERS
Aluminum Roofing Specialists
Aluminum roofing is unique because it has some properties that other metal roofing does not. While it is durable, corrosion-resistant, cost-effective, and eco-friendly, aluminum roofing also doesn’t rust, enables more water runoff, and reflects the sun better than other metal roofing materials.
If you’re in the market for a metal roof, aluminum may be the right choice for you. It’s the perfect solution if you want something that is energy efficient and can withstand a variety of different types of weather, including acid rain.
Kirkness Roofing Inc. offers a variety of metal roof types, from standing seam, corrugated steel, and copper roofs.
What is Aluminum Roofing?
Aluminum roofing is made from – you guessed it – aluminum. It is incredibly lightweight, which makes it affordable because it cuts down on labor costs. It’s not quite as stylish as some other roofing types, and because of its reflective properties, it can be brighter than other materials.
While the look of aluminum bothers some people, others will appreciate the energy efficient properties this reflection gives it. One of the best features of aluminum is its malleability, meaning you can shape it to look like shingles, tile, or any other design you prefer. Like other metal roofing materials, it’s also recyclable, durable, long lasting, and cost-effective.
Temperature Regulation
One of the primary reasons why more people are choosing aluminum is because of its reflective properties. Aluminum can reflect almost 100% of the rays from the sun, meaning that your house will stay cool even when it’s hot outside.
You may be thinking there’s no advantage in winter, which is something we see a lot of in Minneapolis, but you would be surprised. Aluminum can also reflect heat back toward the inside of your house, so it stays warmer in the winter.
Traditionally, the roof is where you lose cold and hot air, so an aluminum roof is a great barrier to keep your home at an ideal temperature. With this type of roof, you’ll save money on your HVAC bills. Other metals are conduits of heat, but aluminum is the best regulator, helping you to enjoy more consistent temperatures inside your home throughout the year.
Weather Resistance and Durability
Aluminum is durable enough to last a long time. It can withstand extreme weather like most other metals without showing much wear and tear. High humidity, wind, acid rain, snow, sleet, hail, and other natural forces are no match for your aluminum roof. Because of its resistance to weather, aluminum is excellent for Billings homes.
Environmental Factors
Aluminum roofing is made from many recycled materials. Some aluminum roofing may contain up to ninety percent recycled metal. Your brand-new roof may not be brand new at all, and for some, this is part of the appeal. It’s environmentally friendly and cost effective.
Aluminum also takes less labor to install on the part of the aluminum roof contractor because it’s so lightweight. The work is easier and doesn’t take as long to complete. It’s also easier for the aluminum roofing service to transport the materials, saving the environment from excess fuel consumption and pollution.
Aluminum Roof Cost
The total cost to install aluminum roofing varies, but you can expect to spend more upfront than you would for shingles. However, you’ll pay less over time because aluminum rarely needs to be replaced. It could potentially last for 40 or 50 years.
You can also factor in the value it adds to your home. Your resale value will go up and advertising the benefits of your aluminum roof will wow all your potential buyers, making it well worth the investment. The roof will be one less thing a prospective buyer has to worry about repairing.
Aluminum Roofing Maintenance
The maintenance for an aluminum roof is the same as all other metal roofs. You shouldn’t let branches rub against it, be sure to clean off dirt and debris, make sure the gutters are clear, and avoid letting different types of metal touch it. These can all impact the lifespan of your roof.
It’s also important to make sure people don’t walk on the roof too often. While it’s necessary if there are repairs that need to be done, it shouldn’t happen any other time. While aluminum is durable, it is softer than other metals and can be susceptible to dents.
For these reasons and more, aluminum roofing adds tremendous value to your home or business. If you are looking for a local aluminum roofing company, contact Kirkness Roofing Inc..

We accepted an offer on our house only to find out during the inspection that we had sustained roof damage from one of the hail storms. I contacted Kirkness Roofing and spoke with Jerome. He was amazing and understood the time crunch … More we were facing. He worked directly with our insurance adjuster and somehow managed to get everything done in time for us to close on our house. Jerome was always very quick to respond when I had questions and made the process quite seamless. I would definitely recommend Kirkness Roofing.

As a result of the July storm we suspected the worst- roofing damage. We contacted Kirkness Roofing and they came out in short order and confirmed our shingles were shot. An estimate soon followed and we gave the go ahead and they got everything … More lined up and installed. Carter was a pleasure to work with and his crew was amazing. They did an amazing job including clean up when the job was done. I believe this is the 4th time our roof has been done since 1997. Once for a remodel and the rest due to storm damage. And Kirkness Roofing has been our go to each time. I’m sure a lot of the faces have changed over the years but the quality of service has not-always the best. They really do a wonderful job and they do sincerely care about their customers and their satisfaction.

I initially expected Kirkness Roofing to be a typical contractor, but they truly exceeded expectations at every turn. They handled my roofing, siding, and gutters with precision and care—each job was done right the first time. What impressed … More me most was their commitment to quality. I assumed they’d use standard-grade materials, but instead, they consistently delivered superior products.
On top of that, Kirkness stayed in my corner for over six months, navigating countless conversations with my insurance company to ensure I received the best possible outcome. Their dedication and patience made a stressful process feel manageable. I’m genuinely glad I called them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services. -
We are incredibly impressed with the service we are receiving! The same day we requested an appointment, Jerome came to our home, inspected everything, gave us options and made us feel at ease. He then came back the next day to follow up … More and start some repairs that will prevent further damage. We are extremely happy with his service, honesty and professionalism!

I can't say enough positive about Kirkness. I called them for a small roof repair. They were more than happy to come and give me an estimate. They arrived on time and were very professional. They even fixed the repair at the same … More time.

We’ve been trying to track down a roof leak for a while now and have been unable to identify it. After calling a couple places in town, Kirkness was able to get us in their schedule right away. Jerome came out to try to identify the potential … More leak. After checking the roof and showing me photos of potential points of water entry, Jerome went back to the shop and came out with warm sealant (on a cold day) to seal
all areas he could find, free of charge. We haven’t had rain yet, to see if the fix worked; but we appreciate their fast service and attention to a leak, without trying to sell us a whole new roof and solar right off the bat. 😂 It’s great to have a company willing to look at the small repair jobs and not just focus on full roof replacements. Thank you, Kirkness Roofing. -
I called Kirkness after being ghosted by a previous contractor when I had 1 week to get some repairs done on a house I was selling. Jerome scheduled with me for that afternoon, inspected the entire roof and then had everything taken care … More of by the end of the day!! He was so kind and professional and an absolute life saver! 10/10 recommend and will definitely be calling back for any future roofing needs.

Outstanding service from the start. Called and talked to a real person who scheduled us an apt for the next day. Jerome Miller (our roof inspector) was timely, polite, and knowledgeable. Would recommend.
