Specialty Roofing Florence: Exposed Fastener
This exposed fastener metal roof in Florence was a complete transformation for a weathered, uninsulated barn addition that had seen better days. The existing roof had old three-tab shingles layered over three previous installations, leaving the structure in rough shape. Much of the original decking was deteriorated, so we reinforced it by adding new CDX plywood over the existing boards to ensure a solid foundation. Because the building isn’t insulated or finished on the inside, an exposed fastener metal system was the right choice—practical, cost-effective, and perfectly suited for a structure like this.
The new roof provides lasting protection and a clean, functional look that elevates the barn’s overall appearance. While exposed fastener systems are durable, it’s worth noting that the screws should be replaced every 15–20 years to maintain a watertight seal as the washers naturally age over time. This installation gave new life to an aging structure while keeping the project efficient and budget-friendly for the homeowner.
