Expert Exposed Fastener Metal Roofing Services in Lake County
Exposed fastener metal roofing—commonly called R-Panel, PBR Panel, or AG Panel—provides an economical entry into metal roofing. The panels attach with screws driven through the face, creating visible fastener lines but also straightforward installation and easy repairs.
While standing seam metal is premium, exposed fastener systems are workhorse products that have protected agricultural, commercial, and residential buildings for decades. For outbuildings, barns, carports, and budget-conscious projects, they offer exceptional value.
At Pro Specialty Services, we install exposed fastener metal for applications where it makes sense. We're honest about the trade-offs versus standing seam, helping you choose the right system for your building, budget, and priorities.
When Exposed Fastener Makes Sense
Budget is the primary driver. Exposed fastener metal costs 30-50% less than standing seam. For outbuildings, agricultural structures, and secondary buildings, this savings is significant without sacrificing essential protection.
Installation simplicity means faster completion. Exposed fastener panels install quickly with basic equipment. For large buildings, this translates to labor savings that further improve value.
Repairs are straightforward. Individual panels can be replaced without specialized tools or techniques. If damage occurs, repairs are simple and economical—an advantage for working buildings subject to occasional mishaps.

Common Questions
The metal panels last 40-60+ years. However, the rubber washers on fasteners may need replacement in 15-20 years. This maintenance keeps the system performing for its full lifespan.
Properly installed fasteners with rubber washers are very reliable. The main consideration is that washers age and may eventually need replacement. Quality installation minimizes concerns significantly.
For outbuildings, barns, and budget-focused projects, exposed fastener makes excellent sense. For your home where appearance matters and you plan to stay long-term, standing seam's premium may be worthwhile. We discuss this honestly.
Absolutely. Properly installed exposed fastener metal handles Florida storms well. The key is correct fastener placement, proper overlap, and good trim work. We install to standards that ensure reliable performance.
Both are exposed fastener systems with slightly different rib profiles. R-Panel has rounded ribs; PBR (Purlin-Bearing Rib) has different dimensions for specific applications. Performance is similar—profile choice is often aesthetic.
Yes, though we often recommend standing seam for homes due to better appearance and thermal movement allowance. For garages, workshops, and secondary structures, exposed fastener is excellent. For budget-focused homeowners, it works fine.
