Looking for a Metal Roofing Contractor Near You? Introducing SMI’s Residential Referral Program  

Need a metal roofing contractor?  

Sheffield Metals is excited to offer the Residential Referral Program (RRP), a one-of-a-kind platform that connects homeowners to trusted metal roofing contractors in their area. 

We know how challenging it is to find a contractor that you can trust. Metal roof installation requires technical expertise and more skill than a traditional roofing option like asphalt shingles. If you hire a contractor who doesn’t have the right experience or rushes the job, you could end up with serious issues, including leaking, corrosion, fastener failure, and a bad overall experience.

In this article, we’ll explain exactly how the program works, who it’s for, and how to use it to easily find the right contractor for you.  

What Is the SMI Residential Referral Program (RRP)?  

Even if you go through the tedious process of calling all the contractors in your area, gathering their information, and vetting choices yourself, you might still be unsure whether a contractor is truly reliable. SMI’s Residential Referral Program cuts through all the red tape by connecting you directly to the top contractor choices in your region.  

Sheffield Metals has spent decades providing materials to the standing seam roofing industry and working with metal roofing contractors all over the United States. We know who’s doing quality work, and we have our own network of trusted contractors in regions all over the country. The Residential Referral Program taps into this network by connecting homeowners to a reliable business.   

Here’s how it works: The homeowner fills out a simple form with their project’s unique information. We’ll offer a few different contractor options based on the project’s info. Then, the homeowner can vet these choices themselves and choose who they want for the job.  

Who Is the Residential Referral Program For? 

The Residential Referral Program is available for any homeowner in the U.S. looking to put a standing seam metal roof on their home.  

How the Residential Referral Program Works  

1. Visit the Homeowner Hub 

First, visit the Homeowner Hub on the Sheffield Metals website. This page is dedicated to homeowners and includes frequently asked questions, links to free content, and a form where you can input your info to get matched with a metal roofing contractor. Plus, you get free access to the Residential Design Studio, which features our Color Visualizer that enables you to see any color on your project, the Sheffield Metals project gallery, and a metal roofing profile selector tool.  

Make sure you have some basic ideas of what your project will look like – including the materials you want to use, roofing system, and panel type. If you’re unsure, feel free to check out our related content on this topic:

2. Fill Out the Form with Your Information 

The form will ask for simple information about your project. These answers give us a basic understanding of your situation and match you with a contractor that fits your criteria.  

3. Connect With Our Homeowner Liaison  

From here, the Sheffield Metals Homeowner Liaison – our dedicated specialist for homeowners – will soon be in contact to follow up and discuss your project to get a better sense of what you need.  

Our liaison can help find answers to any questions you may have and will be available to call should any issues arise. This is your go-to contact during the entire Residential Referral process.  

4. Vet Your Contractor Options 

Once our Homeowner Liaison has the information they need, we’ll use it to filter through our network and present you with a selection of metal roofing contractors in your area that meet your needs.  

The number of contractor options we present will depend on your region. Some areas are hotspots for metal roofing jobs and in turn have more contractors, while other areas are sparser.  

It’s still important that you vet these contractors yourself so you can ensure you’re comfortable investing in their services. Here are a few ways to narrow your options: 

• Look for testimonials: Look online for any reviews about the contractor. They may have testimonials listed on their website. If you’re able to contact their past customers, you can ask if they were happy with the work.  

• Ask questions: Don’t hesitate to ask questions to gain clarity. Reliable, experienced contractors will be happy to give you the answers you need.  

• Build a rapport: Sometimes which contractor you choose comes down to how you feel – whether they’re responsive and whether you feel comfortable with them. Building a good rapport with a contractor even before you trust them with work can help you make that final decision.  

5. Choose Your Contractor 

Once you’ve finished vetting, you can choose your contractor. Sheffield Metals will be available to support both you and the contractor in finishing a project you can be proud of. We offer quality metal roofing materials, paint, substrate, and weathertight warranties, and provide expert advice throughout the whole installation process.
