Dixieland Metals of Alabama, LLC is based out of Dothan, AL, but they service Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi, in addition to Alabama!

When deciding between the various kinds of metal roofing materials, consider the following:

• Metal Shingles: These are interlocking panels that are similar to traditional shingles but without the need for ongoing maintenance. Made of recycled materials, these are typically used in a residential setting, and can be painted to give the appearance of traditional shingles.
• Metal Slate Panels: These panels are designed to imitate the color and texture of slate roofing. They interlock so they are extremely weather-resistant, and they come with a limited lifetime warranty. You’ll often see metal slate panels used in a residential area, and if you desire, these panels can be painted to give the appearance of traditional slate roofing.
• Exposed Fastener Panels: These are made with two sheets of aluminum or steel face panels surrounding an insulating foam to form a solid sandwich panel, and they come in a variety of widths and lengths. The exposed fastener panels are extremely strong and weather resistant, and can be installed over existing roofing materials, leading to less debris on the job site. Used in a variety of industrial and institutional projects, this metal roofing material is more often used in a commercial setting.
