Why Metal?
Metal’s share of the residential roofing market continues to grow rapidly at the expense of traditional materials like asphalt shingles for several reasons:
- Longevity — The expected lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof is only one-third or less of a properly installed metal roof.
- Energy efficiency — Studies show that metal roofing can reduce air-conditioning costs by reflecting sunlight and efficiently radiating heat to reduce the flow of heat into buildings.
- Lighter weight — Metal roofing weighs 50 percent less than asphalt shingles, on average.
Ease of maintenance
- Durability — Metal roofing is resistant to damage from hail, fire, and wind.
- Excellent compatibility with solar panels.
- Increased curb appeal and lasting home value.
- Beneficial environmental impact and recyclability — While the Metal Roofing Alliance estimates that twenty billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into U.S. landfills every year, there are no metal roofs in landfills — steel is the most recycled material on the planet.

For building owners in the market for a new residential, commercial, or agricultural roof that will withstand the test of time, Live Oak Metal Works & Supply is the manufacturer-direct source for premium metal roofing in the Pee Dee region and beyond.
When customers choose Live Oak Metal Works & Supply, they can expect:
- Excellent product selection that covers the spectrum of applications and budgets.
- Outstanding quality, including American-made steel and industry-leading warranties, ensures our customers’ homes and buildings will last for generations. We use only prime Galvalume® coated steel that has been made in the USA by the industry’s most sustainable producers. Galvalume® is an engineered metallic coating, produced under license and consisting of an alloy of 55% aluminum, 43.5% zinc, and 1.5% silicon. It combines the barrier protection of aluminum with the sacrificial properties of zinc, and is the gold standard for construction applications. Metal roofing and siding manufactured using Galvalume® coated steel sheet has an expected service life of 60 years or more in most environments, hence our tagline, “Buy your last roof next.”
- Our standard colors are produced using sophisticated Sherwin-Williams “cool” WeatherXL™ coatings that contain solar-reflective pigments, keeping roofs cooler and conducting less heat into the buildings, reducing energy costs. We also offer a variety of other innovative finishes like textured coatings and ultra low gloss coatings as well as Tru-Steel HD®, a digitally printed finish that looks like real wood, but without the maintenance headaches or the splinters!
