Project Coordinated by Carlos RodriguezHillsborough Metal Roof and Solar Upgrade
This Hillsborough project involved replacing an aging cedar shake roof with a new McElroy Meridian Snap Lok Standing Seam metal system finished in Kynar 500 PVDF. The upgrade improved fire resistance, long-term durability, and overall performance while integrating solar panels for enhanced energy efficiency and lower utility costs.
Project Overview
The homeowners in Hillsborough sought a long-lasting roofing solution to replace their deteriorating cedar shake roof, which had become increasingly vulnerable to weather and fire risk common in the region. They wanted a modern, energy-efficient upgrade capable of supporting a new solar system. After assessing the home’s structure and local conditions, the team recommended a McElroy Meridian Snap Lok Standing Seam roof for its strength, clean appearance, and compatibility with solar installation.
Results
The new standing seam metal roof provided a major performance improvement, delivering superior fire resistance, weather protection, and long-term durability compared to the original cedar shakes. The Kynar 500 finish offers excellent color retention and reduced heat absorption, improving energy efficiency. The integration of solar panels further lowered the homeowner’s energy costs while maintaining a sleek, cohesive appearance. This installation offers reliable protection with minimal maintenance and exceptional life expectancy.
