Metal Roofing in Lincoln, NE

Rafa Roofing installs two metal roofing systems in Lincoln: stone-coated shingle and standing seam, both for residential and commercial properties, GAF Master Elite certified, with manufacturer warranty on every installation.

Supplier and Certification Highlights

Stone-Coated Shingle Metal Roofing

Stone-coated shingle is metal with a textured mineral coating on top. It installs over the same roof structures as asphalt, performs like metal and runs 40 to 50 years. For homeowners who want metal durability without changing the exterior look of the house, it’s Rafa Roofing’s most common residential metal installation in Lincoln.

The metal core handles hail damage and freeze-thaw cycles without the surface wear that shortens asphalt life in Nebraska.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Standing seam uses vertical interlocking metal panels with all fasteners hidden beneath the seams. It’s the standard metal system for commercial roofing projects and increasingly the choice for modern residential builds and outbuildings across the area.

What drives the decision for standing seam:

No exposed fasteners. Nothing penetrates the panel surface, so weather entry points are eliminated by design.
Thermal movement is built in. Panels expand and contract with Nebraska temperature swings without loosening seams or fasteners.
Snow handling. Standing seams allow snow to shed cleanly without accumulation points that add structural load.
Service life. 50+ years with no granule loss and no surface wear from UV exposure.

Metal Roof Installation and Replacement

Every metal roofing project at Rafa Roofing follows four stages:

Free inspection. We assess the existing structure, decking condition and slope to determine which system fits the property and whether a tear-off is required.
System confirmation. Stone-coated shingle or standing seam is selected based on the inspection findings, property type and what the owner needs from the roof long-term.
GAF-certified installation. The same crew completes the install on every project, residential or commercial, with no subcontracting at any stage.
Manufacturer warranty. Issued at completion, covering materials and labor. Transfers to a new owner if the property sells.

For metal roof replacement projects specifically, the inspection determines whether installation over the existing system is viable or whether full tear-off is the right call.

Find Out Which Metal System Works for Your Roof

The free inspection determines which system fits the property based on structure, slope and long-term expectations. No material is selected before the roof is assessed.

Both metal systems are available at all Rafa Roofing locations. Property owners in Crete and Omaha can book the same GAF-certified installation.

I would recommend Rafa Roofing to anyone looking to have their gutters cleaned and repaired. They came out a day after I called. They were able to clean and repair the gutters in one day. I am so pleased with their work, I will definitely use them again if I need any future work done on my house.

My wife and I were searching for a company to clean our gutters and repair them. We called several companies, but no one returned our calls until we called Rafa's Roofing & Construction. The owner returned my call within an hour and came out to look at the job right away. He was able to provide a quote on the spot and he ended up doing the job very quickly. The price was very reasonable. I would highly recommended to everyone.
