"I was so impressed with every part of this process! The crew of 5 completed the job in one day! They were efficient, professional, and meticulous in their work and in their clean up. They worked very well as a team and were responsive to my questions and my requests. They were of good cheer throughout. Great guys! They were wonderful!!! Tyler, my Project Manager, was beyond amazing! He was always accessible for me and very generous with his time and support. He answered my every question, was a great problem solver and made me feel like I was in good hands throughout … and, indeed, I WAS! His customer service was A+++… to the MAX! Home Genius Exteriors is well represented with Tyler! And, also, with Matthew, the salesman who was very thorough in his inspection of my roof situation. He explained things well and made me feel very confident in choosing Home Genius Exteriors. My gratitude also goes out to Sakshi, who came to my door and helped set up an appointment."

"Overall the project was an excellant and easy experience. I decided to take a chance on a pre-sales person who stopped by walking the neighbor hood, and I'm glad I did in this case. The sales person was very professional and explained the entire process in detail. The work crews did a great job. I had a new metal roof, new gutters and gutter guard installed. The materials they used were top quality products and the metal roof was purchased from a US company. The support people were responsive to questions that I had after the project was complete and thoroughly answered my questions. There were a few small details missed or not done according to the sales person's explanation, but I discussed those with the support people. Overall I would definitely use this company again for other projects if the need should arise."

"Someone from Planet Roof came to my parents' house to give them an estimate for a roof (shingle) replacement (1,900 sf). After spending over an hour looking around, the gentleman gave my dad an estimate for $37,000! After my dad declined, he then dropped his estimate 2 more times and said the lowest he can go is $14,000. When my dad asked why he didn't start that low, he replied "well some people will pay the $37,000". He also went on to tell my dad how this was an investment, and he wouldn't get anything lower (keep in mind my dad is a disabled senior on a fixed income). When my dad told him he already received a quote from another company for $8,500 - he was followed by questions of who was that cheap and asked why my dad would even have him come out (when every company should know that most people would/should get multiple estimates). Do NOT recommend this company!"

Most standing seam metal roofs last 50 to 80 years. High-end metals like copper or zinc can approach the 100-year mark when they’re installed correctly and inspected regularly. Scheduling periodic inspections and addressing minor issues early will help the panels perform well in severe weather and reach the upper end of their life span without unexpected repairs.
Standing seam metal roofs cost more to install than many other roofing materials, but they pay off through a long service life, often 50 years or more, and minimal routine maintenance. Their panels resist fire, rot, and pests, and they can reflect heat to help lower cooling bills in hot climates. If you plan to stay in your home for decades or want a roof that needs little attention, the higher up-front price can be worthwhile.
Light shades—such as white, beige, or light gray—reflect more sunlight than darker finishes, which can help keep attic temperatures down and may reduce summer cooling costs. Darker panels absorb heat but can offer a striking contrast on certain home styles. Weigh your climate, neighborhood aesthetic, and energy-efficiency goals when selecting a color, and confirm that your preferred finish is approved by the metal manufacturer for long-term fade resistance.
