Professional Metal Roof Installation in Myrtle Beach, SC
Metal roofing has become the fastest-growing roofing choice for Myrtle Beach homeowners seeking the ultimate combination of longevity, storm protection, and energy efficiency. Weather Shield Roofing specializes in all metal roofing systems—from traditional standing seam to architectural metal shingles—providing solutions that last 50-70 years with minimal maintenance while significantly reducing cooling costs.
Our coastal climate is ideal for modern metal roofing. Unlike traditional perceptions, today's metal roofs are quiet during rain, available in dozens of colors and styles, and engineered to withstand hurricane winds exceeding 140 mph. Metal roofing excels in salt-air environments when properly coated, reflects up to 70% of solar heat to reduce cooling costs by 20-25%, and qualifies for insurance discounts due to superior impact and fire resistance.
Weather Shield Roofing installs premium metal roofing from leading manufacturers including standing seam panels (commercial and residential), stone-coated metal shingles (traditional appearance), corrugated metal (cost-effective), and architectural metal tiles (luxury aesthetic). Every installation includes synthetic underlayment, concealed fastening systems for standing seam, proper thermal expansion provisions, and lifetime workmanship warranty. Our certified installers are factory-trained in proper metal roofing techniques specific to coastal hurricane zones.

Why Metal Roofing is the Smart Choice for Myrtle Beach Homes
Living along the South Carolina coast presents unique roofing challenges that traditional asphalt shingles simply cannot handle as effectively as metal roofing. Myrtle Beach homeowners face salt air corrosion, hurricane-force winds during storm season, intense UV exposure, and humidity levels that accelerate roof aging by 25-30% compared to inland areas. Metal roofing addresses every one of these coastal challenges while providing a 50-70 year lifespan that outperforms any other roofing material.
At Weather Shield Roofing, we have installed hundreds of metal roofs throughout Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Conway, Carolina Forest, and the entire Grand Strand region. Our team understands that coastal metal roofing requires specialized techniques—from choosing the right alloy (aluminum for maximum salt resistance or galvalume steel for cost-effectiveness) to proper fastening systems that withstand 140+ mph winds. We use only Miami-Dade County approved systems rated for high-velocity hurricane zones.
Hurricane Protection
Standing seam metal roofs with concealed fasteners and mechanical seams are rated for 140-180 mph winds. Our installations have survived multiple major hurricanes without a single panel loss, protecting Myrtle Beach homes when it matters most.
Salt Air Resistance
Properties within 1,500 feet of the ocean require aluminum or Kynar 500 coated steel. Aluminum naturally resists corrosion and never rusts, making it ideal for oceanfront homes in Cherry Grove, Surfside Beach, and Garden City.
Energy Efficiency
Cool metal roofing reflects 70% of solar radiation, reducing attic temperatures by 30-50°F. Homeowners typically see 20-25% reduction in summer cooling costs—a significant savings given South Carolina's long, hot summers.
Humidity Resistance
Unlike asphalt shingles that trap moisture and grow algae, metal roofing sheds water completely and resists mold and mildew. This is critical in Myrtle Beach's 70-80% average humidity environment.
Insurance Savings
Many South Carolina insurance companies offer 10-35% premium discounts for metal roofing due to superior fire resistance (Class A) and impact resistance (Class 4). This can offset installation costs over time.
Increased Home Value
Metal roofing increases resale value by 1-6% in coastal markets. Buyers specifically seek storm-resistant features, and a transferable 50-year warranty makes your home more attractive to potential buyers.
Types of Metal Roofing We Install in Myrtle Beach
Standing Seam Metal Roofing
Standing seam is the premium choice for coastal South Carolina homes. Featuring raised seams with concealed fasteners, this system offers superior wind resistance and water-tightness. The panels interlock mechanically, eliminating exposed screws that can corrode or back out over time. We install 24-gauge steel and .032 aluminum standing seam systems in over 40 colors, all with Kynar 500/Hylar 5000 finishes that carry 30-40 year color warranties.
- Best hurricane resistance (180+ mph rated)
- No exposed fasteners to corrode
- 50-70 year expected lifespan
- Modern, sleek aesthetic
Stone-Coated Metal Shingles
Stone-coated steel offers the durability of metal with the appearance of traditional shingles, slate, or tile. The steel core provides strength while the stone granule coating adds texture, color, and additional protection. This is an excellent choice for homeowners in HOA communities or historic districts where metal panel roofing may not be permitted. Popular brands we install include Decra, TILCOR, and Gerard.
- Traditional appearance with metal durability
- Works on any roof pitch
- 40-50 year lifespan
- HOA-friendly styling
Corrugated Metal Roofing
Corrugated metal is the most economical metal roofing option, featuring exposed fasteners and a classic ribbed profile. While not as hurricane-resistant as standing seam, quality corrugated roofing still outperforms asphalt shingles in every category. This is popular for garages, workshops, agricultural buildings, and budget-conscious homeowners seeking metal's longevity without premium pricing.
- Most affordable metal option
- 30-50 year lifespan
- Classic coastal aesthetic
- Quick installation
