In Hillsdale, many of our customers aren’t in a subdivision—they are on open land, facing open fields. This means your roof takes a direct hit from wind with no windbreak. This is why we are seeing a 40% rise in Standing Seam Metal Roofing in the area. Unlike shingles which can lift in high gusts across open fields, standing seam metal panels are mechanically locked down.
The Local Fix:
For our Hillsdale farm and rural residential clients, we recommend 24-gauge steel (thicker than the standard 26-gauge) to withstand hail and debris. It lasts 50+ years and sheds snow instantly, taking the weight off your structure during those heavy January storms.
