When a local homeowner in Hopkins, MN decided it was time for a roof replacement, the goal was clear: a durable, sustainable solution with long-term value. With the help of Advantage Construction and Roof Panels Plus, the project team sought out a standing seam metal roof—an upgrade that would offer timeless appeal and unmatched performance.

Before installation could begin, the team worked closely with the City of Hopkins to have standing seam metal approved as a valid roofing material. The case was compelling. Standing seam systems offer exceptional durability, low maintenance, and align with modern green building initiatives. The city agreed and approved the standing seam metal under their select list of roofing materials.

The selected panel was the New Tech FF150, a seamless standing seam panel formed from CMG’s Low Gloss Carbon steel. This ultra-matte finish minimizes surface glare while maintaining a refined, architectural appearance. The panels were manufactured and installed by Roof Panels Plus, ensuring precision at every step.

This project is a true showcase of collaboration of the material supplier, panel manufacturer, installer, contractor, and city officials all working together to deliver a roof that’s built to last.
