In this video, we’re walking through the prep process for a 24-gauge matte black pencil-ribbed metal roof.
First, each panel is run through the notcher. Then it goes back through the machine again to create an upward hem before it’s ready for installation.
The main reason for the upward hem is protection. It helps prevent wind-driven rain from getting pushed up underneath the ridge and into the attic, which is a common failure point in metal roofing systems when details are missed.
Once installed, these panels lock into a clip system. This allows the roof to stay secure while still giving the metal room to expand and contract naturally with temperature changes, without compromising the weather seal.
It’s a detail-driven process, but those small steps are what make the system perform long-term in a climate like the Pacific Northwest.
Thinking about a metal roof in the Pacific Northwest?
Our team breaks down why more homeowners are making the switch. In a climate like ours, your roof has to handle constant rain, moisture, and seasonal changes, and metal roofing performs for a few key reasons:
• Longevity
• Low maintenance
• Clean, modern look that holds up over time
If the color ever fades, it can be repainted. And if you ever decide to have it torn off, the material is fully recyclable, making it a sustainable option.
If you are planning a roof replacement, this is definitely something worth considering.
Ever wonder how metal roofing panels are made?
For this project, we’re using Nu-Ray’s metal machine on-site to create panels from start to finish. It begins with a metal coil, which is fed through the machine and formed into fully shaped roofing panels, cut to the exact length needed for the roof.

This insulation was installed all the way up against the plywood, which blocks airflow. When your roof can’t breathe, moisture gets trapped, and that leads to rot, mold, and long-term structural damage.
Here’s how we’re fixing it:
• Installing baffles to create proper airflow
• Pushing insulation back to allow the roof to breathe
• Replacing damaged plywood
• Adding a vented roof-to-wall
It’s a simple concept, but when it’s done wrong, it causes serious problems.

One of the most important details on any roof is properly sealing vent pipes. In this video, we show a roofer installing a boot around the exhaust pipe. This helps protect your home from leaks and water intrusion.
A properly installed flashing system ensures a tight seal around roof penetrations, which is critical for long-term performance and durability.
If this step is done incorrectly, it can lead to leaks, rot, and costly interior damage over time.

Most people only see shingles… but a roof is a full system.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the different layers that go into a proper roof installation.
Seasonal gaps in your wood floors can feel alarming… but in many cases, they’re simply your home adjusting to winter temps and lower humidity.
