Industrial-Grade Strength. Cost-Effective Defense.
Rugged Utility. Versatile Commercial Performance.
The Workhorse of Metal Roofing.
That need for a high-strength, low-maintenance roof that can handle the toughest environments. That search for a cost-effective solution for warehouses, agricultural buildings, or modern industrial-style homes. The demand for a proven steel system that provides a quick installation without sacrificing structural integrity.
R-Panel metal roofing is the industry standard for durability and value. Featuring 1.25-inch high ribs on 12-inch centers, these panels offer superior spanning capability and strength compared to standard corrugated metal. Originally designed for commercial and industrial applications, R-Panels have become a favorite for residential projects due to their rugged aesthetic and exceptional ability to shed water and debris.
At Achilles Roofing & Exterior, we specialize in the high-precision installation of R-Panel Metal Roofing. We focus on the critical details of exposed-fastener systems—using premium oversized washers and high-grade sealants to ensure every penetration remains watertight. Whether you are building a new facility or retrofitting an existing roof, our team delivers a functional, heavy-duty finish backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
Key Benefit List
- Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio for Long Spans
- High-Rib Design for Excellent Water Shedding
- Cost-Effective Alternative to Standing Seam Systems

R-Panel Options We Provide
Heavy-Duty Steel for Demanding Environments.
The commercial standard. Provides the ideal balance of structural strength and impact resistance.
A specialized zinc-aluminum alloy coating that offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard galvanized steel.
A "Purlin Bearing" version of the R-Panel that features an extra "leg" for better overlapping and weather-tightness.
Finishes
Silicone Modified Polyester (SMP) coatings that provide excellent color retention and resistance to chalking.
& Flashing
Precision-bent ridge caps, rakes, and eave trim designed to match the R-Panel profile perfectly.

Our Proven Installation Process
Stress-Free R-Panel Metal Roofing, Step-by-Step.
Verifying purlin spacing or deck integrity and installing a high-quality synthetic underlayment or slip sheet.
Ensuring the first panel is perfectly square to the eave to prevent "dog-legging" across long roof sections.
Fastening
Using self-drilling fasteners with EPDM washers, driven to the exact tension to prevent over-compression and leaks.
Seam Sealing
Applying high-grade butyl tape or sealant to the side and end laps to create a continuous weather-tight barrier.
Final Inspection
Installing all perimeter flashing and closure strips, followed by a meticulous quality check and issuance of the 5-year workmanship warranty.

Great price · $2,000–4,000
To cool down my attic, I decided to install a solar attic fan. I got proposals from four different vendors and evaluated them based on customer service, experience, implementation, and price. Achilles Roofing & Exteriors, led by Ahmad Faiz, was the standout choice.

Ahmad is very professional. The process was very simple. Price was affordable and the quality of work is amazing. Thank you for the new replacement and previous rook repairs.
Quick turnaround on some roof repairs we needed for the sale of our home. Everything was documented on the invoice and with photos. Very professional.
Great job on my Atrium cover. Used them before for my roof. Well done and very reasonable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is R-Panel better than standard corrugated metal?
Yes. The higher ribs and wider flats make it significantly stronger and better at managing high volumes of water, providing industrial-grade strength.
Will the fasteners leak over time?
Exposed fasteners require periodic inspection. We use premium EPDM washers and proper torque settings to ensure stone-solid security for years to come. Ask about our maintenance plan.
Can R-Panel be installed over shingles?
In many cases, yes, using a “lay-over” method with wood furring strips. This provides a cost-effective defense without the cost of a full tear-off.
Does an R-Panel roof make the building hotter?
When ordered with “Cool Roof” reflective coatings, R-Panel sheds solar heat effectively, leading to guaranteed savings on cooling costs.
How does R-Panel handle high winds?
Because it is screwed directly into the structure, R-Panel has excellent wind uplift ratings, providing a reliable defense during severe storms. We install it to meet strict local wind codes.
