Tilcor Metal Shingles in West Michigan

Tilcor metal shingles: shingle style with stone-coated steel

Interested in metal roofing, but prefer the appearance of a shingle or shake roof? Top Gun Roofing & Exteriors installs Tilcor stone-coated metal roofing for West Michigan homeowners. We help you compare the look, installation requirements, and budget of a metal shingle roof with other roofing options.

What are stone-coated metal shingles?

Tilcor roofing combines formed steel panels with a textured stone coating. Unlike long vertical metal panels, these profiles create a roof surface inspired by traditional shingles or wood shakes.

Tilcor’s CF Shingle has a low-profile shingle appearance. CF Shake offers a more textured look inspired by wood shake. The CF designation refers to concealed fastening, with fasteners hidden from view in the completed system. Profile and color availability should be confirmed for your project.

Choosing the look for your home

Your roof should work with the rest of your exterior. Bring photos of your siding, masonry, trim, and neighboring rooflines to the conversation. We can discuss how shingle and shake profiles affect the overall appearance and help you narrow the options before making a selection.

It is useful to look at a sample outside alongside your home’s materials. Lighting can change how a color appears compared with a screen or brochure.

Compare the complete roofing project

Choosing a roof involves more than comparing material names. Ask about the proposed underlayment, ventilation, flashing, roof transitions, and installation details. We review the roof design and condition so the estimate reflects the work your home needs.

If you are also considering asphalt shingles, tell us what matters most: appearance, upfront budget, or a particular roofing system. We can discuss those priorities without assuming every home needs the same solution.

Planning your Tilcor metal shingle installation

Before choosing Tilcor metal shingles, make a list of what you want to improve about your current roof. Note recurring leaks, damaged flashing, concerns about attic ventilation, and any planned changes to skylights or exterior features. These details help us discuss the scope alongside the appearance of your new roof.

Ask for a proposal that identifies the selected profile and color, tear-off or approved reroofing approach, underlayment, flashing, and how roof penetrations will be handled. Confirm what is included if hidden decking damage is discovered. Clear allowances and a written scope make it easier to compare estimates fairly.

Compare samples, details, and ongoing care

Tilcor metal shingles should be considered as part of a complete roofing system. Review samples in outdoor light and ask how ridge, valley, and edge details will look on your home. A small sample can help you judge color, while project examples help you understand the overall pattern.

Discuss inspections and maintenance before installation. Ask how to arrange future roof access, what care the specified product requires, and which documents you should keep for warranty records. Tilcor metal shingles do not remove the need to monitor flashing, drainage, and work performed by other trades.

Frequently asked questions

Are metal shingles the same as standing seam roofing?

No. Both are metal roofing, but they have different profiles and installation details. Stone-coated metal shingles are designed around a shingle or shake appearance; standing seam uses long panels with raised seams.

Can Tilcor be installed over my existing shingles?

Tilcor describes reroofing applications for CF Shingle, but an overlay is not automatically appropriate. Existing layers, decking condition, local requirements, and the specified installation system must be reviewed before deciding whether tear-off is needed.

Do metal shingles come with a warranty?

Ask us for the applicable manufacturer warranty for the product being quoted. Eligibility, coverage, exclusions, and registration requirements should be reviewed before installation. A warranty term is not a guaranteed roof lifespan.

How much does a metal shingle roof cost?

The estimate depends on roof size and complexity, tear-off, repairs, access, and the selected profile and details. We can provide a project-specific estimate after reviewing your home.
