Perkins explains the difference: snap-lock panels simply snap together, while mechanically seamed panels are bent and crimped together for wind performance. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/0RItqDZ_GLI 57 2026-06-26T06:56:05-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/cheaper-metal-roof-steel-vs-aluminum-near-salt-water/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/NUSn72Bbc1Q.webp That $10,000 cheaper metal roof might not be a better deal Perkins describes losing a waterfront project to a quote about $10,000 lower that used steel panels instead of aluminum. Near salt water the panel material matters, so ask what exactly you are getting for the price before comparing metal roof quotes. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/NUSn72Bbc1Q 28 2026-09-04T07:50:57-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/standing-seam-metal-roof-finish-details/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/kkEjSoTGrnM.webp The difference is in the details A close look at the finish on a Perkins standing seam metal roof: clean bends, no exposed screws, and goosenecks detailed with hidden fastening, because standing seam is meant to be a hidden-fastener system. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/kkEjSoTGrnM 62 2026-06-22T06:53:45-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/not-all-standing-seam-roofs-are-the-same/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/h9D3c53fXPs.webp Not all standing seam roofs are the same “Standing seam” covers more than one system. Perkins explains how snap-lock panels differ from mechanically seamed, hand-crimped panels, and the question to ask before signing a metal roofing contract: is it snap-lock or mechanically seamed? https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/h9D3c53fXPs 77 2026-06-29T08:57:44-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/snap-lock-vs-hand-crimped-standing-seam-panels/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/8MgmdpGY2zM.webp They both look like metal roofs Walking a neighborhood, Perkins points out metal roofs with snap-lock panels and exposed-screw penetrations, and explains why they are not the same roof as a mechanically seamed standing seam roof with hand-crimped panels, even when they look alike from the ground. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/8MgmdpGY2zM 39 2026-06-30T07:04:54-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/tile-roof-installation-details/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/LD6KOU94TQ0.webp A quality tile roof is built in the details Tile roof craftsmanship up close: tiles cut cleanly through the valleys, straight lines and precise transitions, the small details a Perkins crew takes time over on every section of the roof. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/LD6KOU94TQ0 31 2026-08-11T06:54:11-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/shingle-roof-underlayment/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/SdFJbUveQug.webp The roof you see isn’t the whole roof On a shingle roof, the shingles are only the layer you see. Perkins explains why the underlayment beneath them has to handle South Florida heat and resist tearing, and suggests asking your roofer what is going underneath. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/SdFJbUveQug 49 2026-09-24T06:48:51-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/sometimes-the-better-roof-costs-more/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/6gHE4F-h0kc.webp Sometimes the better roof costs more Perkins explains why a Polyglass Polystick underlayment is now its main choice for shingle roofs even though it costs more than some alternatives, and notes that product approvals and local code decide which underlayments can be used under metal roofs. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6gHE4F-h0kc 53 2026-09-24T06:48:47-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/40-mil-vs-60-mil-roof-underlayment/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/AO1OFIt9V_k.webp 40 mils vs 60 mils: which underlayment is stronger? Thicker underlayment is not automatically stronger. Comparing 40-mil and 60-mil products, Perkins explains why tear resistance, ease of installation and footing on a steep roof matter as much as the number on the spec sheet. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/AO1OFIt9V_k 42 2026-09-24T06:48:57-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/roof-maintenance-trees-and-valleys/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/Un-z-sXDrSY.webp Your roof doesn’t take care of itself A six-year-old roof that looked decades older because it had not been maintained. With trees around the property, vegetation was growing into the valleys, where it can work under the waterproofing and let water in. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Un-z-sXDrSY 42 2026-09-15T08:48:59-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/roof-penetrations-in-valleys/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/gnRszy4tcn0.webp Some roof details are small, until they start leaking Why a roof penetration in the middle of a valley is asking for trouble, especially on a metal roof: valleys are there to move water, and every boot or poorly detailed vent placed in one adds another place for a leak to start. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/gnRszy4tcn0 58 2026-09-08T08:52:51-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/metal-roof-penetration-details/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/ZhzsxCIGaJY.webp Your roof is only as strong as its weakest detail A metal roof panel can last decades, but the penetrations through it are often the weak point. Perkins compares metal penetrations with rubber components that can deteriorate sooner, and explains why the surrounding metals need to suit the environment. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ZhzsxCIGaJY 34 2026-09-15T08:48:59-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/questions-to-ask-your-roofer/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/VWZaZfUDjIc.webp A good roof starts with the right questions Do not just ask a roofer how much. Perkins lists the questions that decide how a roof is built: stainless or galvanized fasteners, aluminum or steel panels, how penetrations, vents and boots are handled, and how flat-roof transitions are detailed. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/VWZaZfUDjIc 29 2026-09-08T08:52:50-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/how-to-spot-a-fake-roofer/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/R9d5Sf5OnEA.webp The fastest way to spot a fake roofer The fastest way to tell a real roofer from a salesperson is to ask detailed questions: wall flashing, vents, dry-in, schedule, and what gets replaced or reused. And if a promise is not in the contract, it does not exist. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/R9d5Sf5OnEA 44 2026-06-10T07:07:39-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/no-change-orders-roofing-promise/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/pJyrUb9W14k.webp “No change orders”? If a roofer guarantees that, be careful Nobody knows exactly what is under a roof until the old one comes off. Perkins explains why rotten deck wood is the most common change order, and why a roofer who guarantees “no change orders” deserves caution. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/pJyrUb9W14k 46 2026-06-22T05:53:03-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/perkins-roofing-core-values/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/ECt0qIePVgc.webp Our core values haven’t changed since 1980 The principles Dean Perkins built the company on in 1980: honesty, communication, quality, dependability, showing up when promised, and doing work the crew is proud to put its name on. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ECt0qIePVgc 31 2026-08-05T06:55:57-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/dean-perkins-legacy/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/WHSOOaZ-lds.webp From one man’s vision to a legacy that keeps growing Founder Dean Perkins on starting the company and on seeing Perkins Roofing continue into the next generation: be good to the company, be good to your people, and be good to your clients. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/WHSOOaZ-lds 55 2026-08-13T06:58:50-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/jupiter-roofs-sun-storms-salt-air/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/51kXZK6h3Jo.webp Sun, storms and salt air: what Jupiter roofs face A short video from Perkins Roofing in Jupiter on what strong sun, heavy storms and salty air do to roofs there, and why a roof inspection is the first step before a repair or a replacement. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/51kXZK6h3Jo 34 2026-07-28T11:02:52-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/jupiter-small-roof-problems-become-leaks/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/Q-sCLrtAFgw.webp In Jupiter, small roof problems turn into leaks fast A slideshow of real photos of the Perkins Jupiter team, its work and its job sites, with a reminder that a ceiling stain, curled shingles or missing shingles are worth checking before a small problem turns into a leak. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Q-sCLrtAFgw 29 2026-07-13T11:14:56-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/miami-beach-weather-and-roofs/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/0HI2VaQ4ywQ.webp Miami Beach weather doesn’t play nice with roofs A slideshow of real photos from Perkins crews on residential and commercial jobs, on why Miami Beach weather is hard on roofs and when a ceiling stain, missing shingles or a drip that will not stop needs checking. https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/0HI2VaQ4ywQ 32 2026-08-25T11:58:58-07:00 https://perkinsroofing.net/videos/rainy-season-roofer-demand/ https://perkinsroofing.net/images/shorts/737aRcf-hUk.webp Rain starts, and suddenly everyone needs a roofer Every rainy season, leaks show up and roofers get booked up fast.
