One system, done properly
We do not spread expertise across every roofing type. Standing-seam steel is the only thing we install.
A material decision, not a marketing decision
Ironcrest installs one system — standing-seam steel — because your region's freeze-thaw cycle rewards fewer seams and no exposed fasteners more than almost anywhere else.
Nils Petursson trained as a sheet-metal fabricator before moving into roofing, and kept noticing the same failure pattern on exposed-fastener metal roofs: the screws backed out within a decade as the panel expanded and contracted through your region winters.
In 2009 he started Ironcrest around a single answer to that problem — concealed-fastener panels, roll-formed on-site to the exact length of each roof plane, so there are as few seams as physically possible and none of them held together with a screw sitting in the weather.
The company still installs nothing else. Not because shingle and membrane roofing are bad systems for the right application, but because doing one thing at a genuinely high standard beats doing three things adequately.
How we got here
2009
Nils Petursson founds Ironcrest after years of watching exposed-fastener panels fail early.
2013
First on-site roll-forming trailer purchased; panels stop being ordered in stock lengths.
2018
Snow-retention engineering becomes a standard part of every quote, not an optional add-on.
2026
165+ standing-seam roofs installed across the your city acreage belt.

What we hold ourselves to
Roll-form to the roof
Panels are formed on-site to your roof's actual measurements, not ordered in stock lengths and pieced together.
Separate the warranties
Material and workmanship are different responsibilities. We never blur them into one vague promise.
Who designs and installs your roof
A small crew, on purpose — everyone who fabricates and installs your panels has been doing this specific system for years, not months.
Nils Petursson
Founder & fabricator
Still runs the roll-forming trailer on larger jobs. Trained as a sheet-metal fabricator before moving into roofing.
Ingrid Solheim
Design consultant
Handles every site consultation personally — panel profile, colour and snow-retention layout.
Reuben Katz
Install lead
Leads the install crew. Eleven years on standing-seam systems specifically, not general roofing.
Two warranties, kept separate
The panel finish carries the manufacturer's own material warranty — typically decades. Our own 15-year workmanship warranty covers the installation: flashing, fastening, seams. We never blur the two into one vague promise, and both are handed to you in writing at the final walkthrough.
Reviews
What your region property owners say
4.9 average from 165 standing-seam installs
“Watched them roll-form the panels right in the driveway to the exact length of our barn roof. Not a single seam across the slope. Genuinely impressive to watch, and the roof looks it.”
“They talked us out of the cheaper furring-strip option because our deck needed tear-off first — cost more up front, but I would rather know that before the roof is on than after.”
“Excellent panel work, though the snow-retention bars over the walkway needed a return visit to reposition after the first big snowfall showed a gap. They came back within a week and made it right at no charge.”
