Project Overview
A striking matte black
standing seam roof.
This distinctive red barn-style home in Lincoln, set on a private pond, is getting a full matte black standing seam metal roof — a striking, low-maintenance system built to last 50+ years.
The complex, multi-gable roofline is being sheeted section by section with concealed-fastener panels over high-temperature synthetic underlayment.
- Concealed-fastener standing seam panels
- Matte black finish
- High-temperature synthetic underlayment
- Custom-bent flashing at valleys and walls
- Complex multi-gable roofline
- Built for Vermont snow load

How It's Done
A standing seam system
built to outlast the house.
Standing seam metal roofing is a different animal from shingles — concealed fasteners, interlocking panel seams, and a 50+ year service life when installed correctly. Here's how we approached this Lincoln project.
Deck Prep & Underlayment
The roof deck was inspected and repaired before a high-temperature synthetic underlayment went down across the full deck — critical under metal roofing, which runs hotter and colder than shingles and needs an underlayment rated for that range.
Matte Black Standing Seam Panels
Panels were installed with a concealed clip fastening system — no exposed screws to back out or leak over time. The matte black finish gives this home a modern, low-sheen look while the panel seams handle Vermont's snow load and ice movement without the granule loss or fastener issues shingles eventually face.
Flashing & Snow Retention
Custom-bent flashing was fabricated for every valley, chimney, and wall transition to keep water moving off the roof and away from the structure — a standing seam roof is only as good as its flashing details. Snow retention was factored into the design given Vermont's heavy winter loads.
