Martin Exteriors installs metal roofs on homes and commercial buildings in Lake Geneva and around Geneva Lake. We’re a certified dwelling contractor in Wisconsin (#1436189) and a GAF Master Elite contractor, and we install both metal and shingle roofs, so we can price them side by side and tell you which one fits your house.
Every metal job starts with a free inspection. We look at your roof, the decking and the attic, measure the roof, and go over the metal options that fit, along with a shingle option for comparison.
Metal Roof Styles We Install in Lake Geneva
Metal doesn’t have to look like a barn. These are the styles we install:
- Standing seam: long, flat panels joined by raised ribs, for a clean, modern roofline.
- Metal shingles: smaller pieces shaped to pass for slate, wood shake or an ordinary shingle roof from the street.
- Stone coated steel: steel panels finished with stone granules, in shake, shingle and tile looks. In Rockton we used it to replace an old clay tile roof with a tile look.
- Corrugated panels: classic ribbed steel for shops, garages and outbuildings.
Each style comes in a range of colors and finishes. At your inspection we’ll show you which ones suit your roof’s pitch and the look of your home.
Picking a Metal Roof for a Lake Home
Lake Geneva homes run from small cottages to large houses with steep, complex rooflines. A few things decide which metal style makes sense:
- The look you want. Standing seam reads modern. Metal shingles can pass for slate, and stone coated steel comes in shake, shingle and tile looks.
- The shape of the roof. Lots of valleys, dormers and turrets call for different detailing than one long, simple slope. We walk the roof before we recommend anything.
- Snow and wind. Snow slides off metal in sheets, so we plan where it lands, away from walkways, entries and decks. Fastening matters too on a house that faces the open lake.
- How you use the house. If it’s a summer place, you don’t have to be there. We send photos and updates as the job goes.
Metal Roofs for Lake Geneva Businesses
Commercial buildings near the lake can take a metal roof in standing seam or exposed fastener panels. We can also put metal panels on the walls so the roof and siding match. For flat and low-slope roofs, see commercial roofing.
How a Lake Geneva Metal Roof Job Works
- Free inspection: we walk the roof, check the pitch, flashing and decking, and photograph it all. Away from the lake? We send you the photos.
- Metal next to shingles: we show you the metal styles that suit your roof and price a shingle roof alongside, so you can compare.
- Written quote: it spells out the materials and the work before anything starts.
- Permit: we pull the permit and set up the inspections the job needs.
- Install: we lay out the panels so snow comes off where it won’t cause trouble, and we install most of the year, weather permitting.
Financing is available, as low as $149/month for qualified buyers. See financing options.
Metal Roofing Questions From Lake Geneva Homeowners

Standing seam, metal shingles, stone coated steel and, for commercial and outbuilding roofs, corrugated panels. We’ll show you which ones fit your roof at a free inspection.
Can a metal roof look like slate or wood shake?
Yes. Metal shingles can look like slate, and stone coated steel comes in shake, shingle and tile looks, so you can keep the look of an older lake home.
Will you price a shingle roof too, so I can compare?
Yes. We measure the roof and give you a written quote that can include a shingle option next to the metal one.
