When a roof starts leaking in three or four different spots, patching it one leak at a time is a losing game. That's where Ruby and Gary Endicott found themselves with their home in Wayne, West Virginia — an aging roof, more than 15 years old, that had finally run out of life. They reached out to our Huntington roofing team wanting a permanent fix, and after weighing their options, they chose a path built to outlast the next several decades: a full standing-strong metal roof system paired with brand-new seamless gutters.
While this project sits just south of Huntington in Wayne, it's a perfect example of the exact mixed-pitch challenges our Huntington branch resolves regularly. Here's how the job came together.
This wasn't a simple, single-pitch roof. Our measurements showed 19.6 squares spread across 9 facets, with a steep 8/12 main pitch transitioning down into low-slope 2/12 sections. That combination is exactly where metal roofing demands extra care — low-slope areas drain slowly, and on a metal system, wind-driven water can try to jump the rib if the underlayment isn't bulletproof.
We were transparent with the Endicotts up front: portions of this roof sit below the pitch the International Roofing Code recommends for exposed-fastener metal. Rather than gloss over that, our team engineered around it with full high-heat ice and water shield across the vulnerable low-slope facets — 7.3 additional squares of membrane — so the deck stays sealed where water moves slowest.
The Endicotts selected a 29-gauge Master Rib screw-down metal roof in a clean Black finish. This is a workhorse system: durable, energy-reflective, and backed by Cenvar's 40-year Pro-Cap fasteners that fully encase the washer to protect against the slow leaks that plague cheaper exposed-fastener panels.
The complete install on this home included:
One detail that sets a well-planned metal roof apart is snow management. Metal sheds snow fast — which is great until a heavy slab lets go all at once over a doorway, walkway, or the new gutters below. We installed 133 feet of snow bars to hold snow in place so it melts and drains gradually instead of avalanching. On a West Virginia home that sees real winter weather, that's not an upgrade — it's protection for everything beneath the eaves.
A metal roof moves a lot of water quickly, so the Endicotts wisely bundled a full gutter replacement into the project. Our gutter team removed the old, failing system and installed 6-inch K-style seamless aluminum gutters in White, fed by oversized 3x4 downspouts to handle the volume a steep metal roof delivers in a downpour. We also wrapped the fascia in fresh White smooth trim coil for a clean, finished, low-maintenance edge.
Sizing the gutters to the roof is something homeowners often overlook. Undersized gutters overflow, and overflow leads to fascia rot and foundation issues. Matching a 6-inch gutter and 3x4 downspouts to this roof's output is the kind of detail our West Virginia crews sweat so the homeowner never has to.
This Master Rib metal roof is covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty, transferable if the home changes hands within three years — and the new gutters carry their own 10-year workmanship and material warranty. As always, the Endicotts paid $0 down with nothing due until the job was complete and they were satisfied, with Service Finance financing available for those who want it.
