Max-Rib Metal Roofing

All About Max-Rib Metal Roofing

Options are great to have, but sometimes choosing between them can be overwhelming. If you know you want a metal roof but can’t determine which type is best for your middle Tennessee home or business, you’ve come to the right place.

At L&L Contractors, we work with the best metal roof manufacturers in the industry, and have extensive experience in roof installation, roof repair and maintaining all types of roofing. During one of our free roofing inspections, we’ll be able to deduce which is best for your property based on your needs, wants, and budget.

One of the most popular metal roofing options we provide is Max-Rib roofing, which is lightweight and designed for durability. Read on for more information on what makes Max-Rib metal roofing so great.

What You Need to Know About Max-Rib Metal Roofs

L&L Contractors gets its max-rib metal roofing from Murfreesboro’s own Metal Max. The metal we use is available in both .29 and .26 gauge galvalume (which is 2x more resistant to corrosion than galvanized) panels, and is coated in Valspar paint (which is incredibly durable and stain-resistant).

Choosing the type of metal panel that is best for you will depend on the desired application. If you need a simple shade and shelter panel, the Max-Rib Utility will likely suit you just fine, whereas any residential application will require the Max-Rib Ultra panels, which are protected by a Galvalume substrate with a fade and chalk resistant Kynar 500 based Fluropon® paint system.

Advantages of Max-Rib Roofs

Max-Rib is a light-gauge roofing option with exposed fastener panels that can be used in commercial, residential, and agricultural applications.
This is a workhorse brand known for fighting hard against the tendency of a metal roof to fade or “chalk,” which occurs when tree leaves rub chalk off the panels and cause them to fade over time.
Its resistance to these common problems is due to the ThermoForming process that all Max-Rib panels undergo. Due to the painting coating and zinc in the metallic galvanized coating on each Max-Rib panel, they are protected from tension bend cracking and premature corrosion.
Max-Rib panels are low profile (3/4″) and can be installed on as low as a 1:12 pitch if sealant is used on the sidelaps. The ideal pitch for a Max-Rib roof is 3:12, according to the manufacturer.

Want to know if a Max-Rib roof is a good option for your Murfreesboro property? Reach out to L&L Contractors today at (615) 577-9103, and we can tell you about this and other metal roofing options available to you.

We’d love to talk with you about whether R-Panel metal roofing is a good choice for your metal roofing project.

Let me just say that Willie, Peter, and Taryn at L&L are absolutely amazing folks. Willie was professional , personable, and beyond patient with me while I was waffling with my roofing decision. And in the end he was able to get me a great deal! Peter, the project manager, was always in communication with me and went above and beyond to make sure my house looked perfect. He even had his employees redo something he wasn’t completely satisfied with that I don’t think any other company would have redone because of the expense. I was going to go with the same old roof colors and I stopped by their office to consult with Taryn who suggested something different. Taryn helped me pick out the perfect colors for my roof and I’ve had at least a dozen people in my neighborhood stop to tell me looks stunning. Do yourself a favor and hire this local contractor-you will not be disappointed! Thank you all again!

We had the pleasure of working with L&L over the past few months, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their work. They completed several projects on my home in College Grove, TN, starting with addressing some issues with my Hardy board siding. As a preferred contractor with James Hardie board, L&L’s Russ Hensley inspected the problem areas and discovered that the original installation by the builder was faulty. Russ and his team reinstalled the James Hardie board correctly. The result was flawless, and they even followed up to ensure I was happy with the work.Later that month, after a hailstorm damaged our roof, I hired L&L again. Brad White coordinated with our insurance adjuster and identified some overlooked issues. The new roof was installed in a single day, which was impressive, and they returned to install new gutters. Brad suggested upgrading to 6-inch gutters, which proved to be a wise choice given the size of our home.The customer service provided by L&L is exceptional, surpassing any I’ve experienced in the industry. They even paired me with a supervisor, Peter, who was well-suited to manage my meticulous nature. Peter went above and beyond to ensure both my wife and I were delighted with the results. Throughout the process, communication via text and email was seamless.My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend L&L for any siding and roofing needs.

From beginning to end L&L was the best company I’ve ever dealt with regarding anything involving my home. Jerome spent so much time before we even hired them listening to us and inspecting our house to help us with our insurance company. After hiring them, he again spent a lot of time walking us through everything and helping us choose colors. He was so kind, patient, and professional! I can’t remember the names of the people in the office that I dealt with, but they were absolutely wonderful as well. Then Peter showed up with his crew to install our new roof. Again, no surprise, he was so kind! They kept us updated every step of the way. I could not possibly be happier with the work and professionalism of L&L!!! I SO appreciate them, HIGHLY recommend them, and would TOTALLY use them again for anything! We are very satisfied customers! Thank you L&L!

Allen Cox and Bernie team went above and beyond expectations on our garage siding replacement project. Upon removal of old siding, we found a lot of wood damage. All damaged wood replaced, building re-wrapped, garage doors, windows totally sealed and weather proofed. I was impressed with workmanship and professionalism and asked for quote to replace my decking. I would highly recommend these guys for your projects.

I would 100% recommend L&L contractors!! I had to have all the siding on my house replaced. I talked with several companies and decided to go with L&L because they took the time to explain the process and go over every detail with me without treating me like I was an idiot. Kyle was amazing with helping me deal with my insurance company from the get go. Allen and his team were awesome and got my siding done efficiently and to the highest standard. Once they started on the project, they kept me up to date along the way and made sure I was ok with any changes that needed to be made to the project. All the workers were very polite and took pride in the work they were doing. Marten and Javier were amazing problem solvers who went above and beyond and even built some custom pieces to go around my outdoor water faucets!My only complaint would be that communication was not great between the time I put down the first part of the deposit and when they actually started on my house. Despite this, I would definitely use their services again if needed.*****UPDATE*****I had an issue with one of the vents that was installed last year by L&L Contractors. I reached out to Allen and he came over within 48 hours and fixed the issue himself. I can not say how much I appreciate the prompt and friendly service as well as the pride these guys take in their work.

Their crew demonstrated remarkable skill and efficiency, completing the job within the promised timeframe and without sacrificing quality. From tearing off the old roof to meticulously installing the new one, it was evident that they took pride in their craft.Moreover, I was impressed by the attention to detail exhibited by L&L. They didn't just focus on the main roofing structure but also took care of minor repairs and cleanup, leaving my property looking immaculate. It's clear that they care about delivering a finished product that not only meets but exceeds customer satisfaction.

My husband and I have wanted to update the exterior of our home for years. After speaking to various companies, we decided on L&L Contractors for the job. The final results were amazing, and our neighbors agree. The best thing about the process was our project manager Allan, and our client advisor Jeremy. Allan kept us WELL informed on each step of the process. He welcomed our input, which allowed us to get the results that we had imagined. He made us feel that our satisfaction was most important. He even took the initiative to fix a loose panel on our SUV. Jeremy, our client advisor was with us at the very beginning of the process, and he remained with us to the very end. We consider both men a permanent addition in our lives.

We had a great experience with L&L. Detail oriented and top-notch quality every step of the way. Even with it being a very busy time for them. They also helped discuss the job with our insurance agent making that process go smoothly. Great communication and customer service from Tim Peterson. Would highly recommend working with Russ, Ernie, Tim and Arlene at L&L Contractors.

I am so pleased with My Client Advisor, Ernie from L&L Contractors. I had roof damage this morning from last night's storm. I called at 10:30AM and received an appointment for 1PM the same day AND he even came early. The appointment included a photo and contact information in case I needed to reach him about the appointment. Not only was he prompt, professional and reasonably priced, but I really appreciated Ernie's input regarding the general state of my roof and inspection while he was up there. He even took away the damaged roofing with him. I will definitely reach out to them when I need my complete roof replaced. Laura

L and L Contractors replaced our very old, worn out roof yesterday. Their service was top notch from the very first encounter to the final goodbye. Their communication was excellent and very much appreciated. We enjoyed being able to utilize the website to see our balance, our tentative date and other important details very easily. They were very professional and respectful of our property. Our new roof looks beautiful. We will be recommending this company from now on and will definitely use them again in the future.
