On-Site Fabrication
Double Lock Standing Seam – Flat, pencil rib, or striated; mechanical double-lock for high-performance roofs. Available in copper or steel.
Our mobile roll former allows us to show up to the jobsite and run steel roof panels at ANY length. All coils come with a protective plastic film, which stays on through fabrication and install to prevent scratching and maintain finish quality.
As a trusted metal roofing supplier, we ensure all panels meet strict quality standards. Preferred Panels runs metal panels for roofing contractors and Do-it-yourselfers (DIY) as well as jobs we complete. Need something specific? Our team can custom-bend and cut to your design or spec.

Repair and Replacement for Home, Business or Commercial buildings
Age, wind, and weather can damage metal siding panels, roofing, trim, and gutters — especially at seams, fasteners, and flashing points. If you're dealing with leaks, dents, or storm damage, start with a free inspection. We'll help you catch issues early and protect your building before they grow worse.
Expert services include:
- Panel and trim replacement (standing seam, Snap Lock and corrugated) after wind or hail damage
- Gutter, downspout, and siding panel repairs (corrugated, R-panels, flush panels and board and batten)
- Tear-offs of old metal roofs
- Replacement of rotten rafters, 2x4s, OSB, and plywood
- Fiberglass insulation upgrades and venting fixes
- Re-sealing to keep systems weather-tight and waterproof
We don’t patch over problems — we rebuild them properly, using the same high standards we apply to full installs, so your roof stays weather-tight and waterproof long-term, not just a quick temporary roof repair.
Keeping Your Roof Weatherproof, Year After Year
With over 35 years of experience in Wisconsin’s harsh winters, our metal siding and roofing systems are engineered to withstand wind, snow, and ice—delivering lasting protection without shortcuts or leaks. As a trusted metal roof contractor, we specialize in complete systems that meet the demands of both residential and commercial properties.
We design every system to be weatherproof from top to bottom. That includes snow retention systems (snow bars and guards) that help prevent dangerous snow avalanches and protect your loved ones, gutters, walkways and landscaping.
When it comes to performance and peace of mind, we don’t just install panels—we build complete metal systems that stand up to real conditions.

Customize your project
Color Variety
Our sheet metal panels and trim are backed by a 40-year KYNAR 500® (PVDF) paint warranty, ensuring the coating won't crack, chip, or peel away. We offer a wide range of metal siding and roofing colors, 36 total options! Pick a color(s) that highlights or contrasts your home, business or commercial building.
Sealant/Caulk Color Options
At Preferred Panels, we typically use transparent sealant or caulk, but we can color match our most common roof colors upon request. Popular roof colors include Tan, Gray, Burnished Slate, Dark Bronze and Black/Charcoal. All of our sealants are compatible with painted steel systems and Kynar finishes, ensuring long-term adhesion and protection.
Color Samples & Re-painting Options
Not sure on color? We offer color samples upon request, so you can choose confidently. If you change your mind later, we can professionally re-paint your metal roof or siding — or renew an old finish, including rusted galvanized roofs that were never painted. Tackling it yourself? Check out our blog on re-painting your metal roof yourself.
