Your roof needs to hold up against harsh conditions for decades. So, the material you use and the quality of the installation are critical to get the best use out of this investment.

Sleek with clean modern lines, standing seam offers excellent weather protection because of its concealed fasteners and watertight seams, reducing the risk of leaks and corrosion. It offers energy efficiency and complies with California energy and fire codes. This material has a great lifespan, between 40 and 70 years, and needs little maintenance.
It’s also an excellent base for a solar panel installation, and you can choose from 18, 12, and 16-inch spacing between seams, customizing it to your home.
Corrugated metal is extremely popular in commercial spaces and is gaining popularity in residential areas. Instead of seams, it features valleys and troughs.

Have questions before reaching out? Here’s a list of frequently asked questions regarding metal roofs.
The warranty on the color of the roof is 40 years. However, with a concealed fastener system like the one Wicks installs is estimated to be a lifetime roof. This means unless desired you will never need to replace it again.
Standing Seam metal roofing have seams spaced every so often where the metal panels meet. The seams are cold formed onsite with a special machine and then snap locked into place on the roof. All of the fasteners are concealed to ensure a water tight system which is not dependent on caulking or other means to waterproof. Corrugated metal roofs fasteners are typically exposed and overall a more cost effective.
A shingle roof is typically the most cost effective roof available. Corrugated metal roofing is a little more expensive than shingles and Standing seam metal roofing is one of the most expensive options available. In 2023 the typical standing seam metal roof cost is about $16 per square foot while a shingle roof is around $9. Corrugated metal is about the same cost as shingles coming in at about $10 per sq ft.
Standing seam metal comes in all different types of metals. If you live directly ON the beach, you will want to choose a metal that will stand the test of time like copper, or stainless steel. A more cost-effective option that have better corrosion resistance than steel would be aluminum. We recommend going with aluminum if the home is about 100 yards from the water and copper or stainless if ocean mist is regularly hitting the home. Galvanized and painted steel are the typical choice for all other applications.
Yes, however we may need to go through Architectural Board of Review to permit. Wicks is well suited to handle this and has navigated the process in the past with the ABR and Coastal Commission. It is not guaranteed to be accepted however.
Yes, we have navigated the city of Oxnard’s regulations and permitting to accept metal roofing. The acceptance is up to the Authority Having Jurisdiction.
