Elevate Your Home with Architectural Sheet Metal 

As spring approaches and the snow begins to melt, March is the perfect time to look ahead — not just to warmer weather, but to home improvements that truly last. At Les Jones Roofing, we believe that a roof should do more than protect — it should enhance. That’s why we’re proud to offer architectural sheet metal solutions that combine long-term durability with eye-catching, modern design.

Whether you’re a homeowner looking to upgrade your curb appeal or a contractor seeking premium materials for a high-end project, architectural sheet metal offers a compelling, future-ready solution.

What Is Architectural Sheet Metal?

Architectural sheet metal is a specialized form of roofing and exterior cladding made from high-performance metals such as aluminum, steel, copper, and zinc. Unlike traditional roofing materials, sheet metal is shaped and fabricated to suit the unique contours and style of your home or commercial building.

These materials aren’t just chosen for their sleek, modern appearance — they’re engineered for strength, energy efficiency, and low maintenance, making them ideal for Minnesota’s dramatic seasonal swings.

The Benefits of Architectural Sheet Metal

Architectural sheet metal is quickly becoming a top-tier choice among homeowners, builders, and property managers. Here’s why it continues to stand out:

Exceptional Longevity

Metal roofs have a reputation for lasting 40 to 70 years — significantly longer than traditional asphalt shingles. That longevity adds real value and peace of mind to your investment.

Minimal Maintenance

Unlike other roofing materials that may crack, curl, or degrade over time, sheet metal holds its shape and appearance with minimal upkeep. It resists corrosion, mold, mildew, and insect damage.

Energy Efficiency

Architectural metals naturally reflect solar heat, reducing the strain on your HVAC system during warmer months. This thermal performance can lower your energy bills year-round — especially during hot Midwest summers.

Aesthetic Versatility

Today’s sheet metal isn’t just functional — it’s beautiful. Available in a wide range of colors, finishes, profiles, and custom shapes, architectural sheet metal can be tailored to suit everything from contemporary city homes to historic renovations.

Eco-Friendly Materials

Architectural sheet metal is often made from recycled content and is itself fully recyclable. Choosing metal roofing is a smart move for sustainability-minded homeowners and commercial property developers.

All-Weather Protection

Minnesota weather is no joke. Sheet metal systems are engineered to handle everything from high winds and heavy rains to hailstorms and snow accumulation. It’s roofing done right — and built to last.

Where You’ll See It: Common Applications

Architectural sheet metal isn’t limited to rooftops. Its flexibility allows it to elevate many exterior elements:

  • Roofing Systems: Sleek, standing seam panels or bold custom-fabricated profiles
  • Wall Cladding: A modern, stylish upgrade that boosts curb appeal and structural protection
  • Soffits & Fascias: Seamless finishes that shield vulnerable areas while enhancing the home’s edges
  • Custom Accents: Unique features like chimney caps, canopies, dormers, or bay window covers

March Maintenance Reminder

Spring is an ideal time to plan your next project — but don’t forget to check your current roof, especially after a harsh Minnesota winter. Ice dams, snow buildup, and freeze/thaw cycles can leave behind subtle damage. A professional roof inspection now can catch issues early — before spring rains expose them.
