Grey standing-seam metal roof with a dormer window and snow guards above the eaves

Panels are cut to length for each slope, so there are no seams from eave to ridge. Fasteners sit under the seams, out of the weather.

Unpainted steel or one of a dozen painted colors. Snow guards go above doors and walkways.
