Metal Roof Installation
Kirkland & Greater Seattle
Standing seam, Nu-Ray NRM panels, metal shingles & exposed-fastener systems — professionally installed by Kirkland's licensed metal roofing contractors. Panels locally sourced from Nu-Ray Metals in Puyallup, WA.
The Last Roof You'll Ever Need to Buy
For Kirkland and Greater Seattle homeowners, metal roofing isn't just a premium upgrade — it's the smartest long-term investment you can make on your home. Asphalt shingles in the Pacific Northwest struggle with moss, constant moisture, and the need for replacement every 15–20 years. Metal doesn't.
Atrax Roof & Gutter installs premium Nu-Ray Metals panels sourced directly from their Puyallup, WA facility — meaning shorter lead times, fresher material, and a product engineered for the same climate your roof faces every single day.

- Nu-Ray Metals certified installation team
- Free, no-obligation roof inspections & written estimates
- All work backed by Atrax workmanship guarantee
- Residential, commercial, additions & re-roof projects
- Serving Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Bothell & Greater Seattle
Metal Roof vs. Asphalt Shingles
For a Kirkland home, here's what the real 50-year picture looks like between metal and traditional asphalt shingles.
Asphalt Shingles
- ✗Lasts 15–20 years in PNW wet climate
- ✗Requires annual moss treatment in Kirkland
- ✗25-year warranties often prorated & limited
- ✗Granule loss, cracking, and curling over time
- ✗Lower wind resistance ratings
- ✗Class A fire only with specific products
- ✗2–3 full replacements needed over 50 years
- ✗Requires warm temps for proper sealing
- ✗Petroleum-based, non-recyclable waste
Metal Roofing Systems We Install
From concealed-fastener standing seam to exposed-fastener value panels — we carry the full Nu-Ray NRM lineup and will recommend the right system for your Kirkland home and budget.
Standing Seam — NRM-2200
The gold standard of residential metal roofing. Concealed fasteners mean no exposed screws to back out, no penetrations to leak, and a clean architectural profile that elevates any Kirkland home.
- Concealed fastener — zero exposed screws
- 20, 30, 40 & 50-year warranty options
- Optional factory-applied seam sealant
- Clean, modern low-rib profile
- Minimum pitch: 2:12
NRM-1750 Snap-Lock
The NRM-1750 blends standing seam aesthetics with a floating clip that absorbs thermal expansion — ideal for the temperature swings Kirkland sees between summer and winter.
- 1.75″ tall rib — bold visual profile
- 14″ & 18″ widths standard
- Floating clip for thermal movement
- Snap-lock side seam design
- Minimum pitch: 2:12
NRM-1000 Concealed Clip
A low-maintenance panel with a clean concealed clip system and multiple accent options — Flat, Striations, or Ribs — giving architects and homeowners maximum design flexibility.
- 1.50″ tall rib design
- 12″ & 16″ widths standard
- Flat, Striations & Ribs accent options
- Extra-snug one-piece clip design
- Minimum pitch: 3:12
NRM-2000 Low-Slope
Designed specifically for near-flat applications, the NRM-2000 pairs structural panel strength with architectural aesthetics. The floating clip at 18″ on center handles the movement demands of very low-pitched roofs.

- 1.50″ tall rib design
- Floating clip 18″ on center
- Optional factory seam sealant
- Ideal for low-slope residential & additions
NRM-4000 Exposed Fastener
A versatile, cost-effective panel that works across roofs, walls, and soffits. The anti-siphon groove keeps water out at fastener locations — making it a reliable choice at an accessible price point.

- 36″ width — fast installation
- Anti-siphon groove at fastener lines
- Roof, wall & soffit compatible

6 Reasons Kirkland Homeowners Choose Metal
Metal roofing isn't just a trend — it's the most practical, durable roofing choice for the specific conditions Kirkland homes face year-round.
Stands Up to PNW Rainfall
Metal's interlocking panel system and sealed seams shed water faster and more completely than any shingle product. In Kirkland's 50+ inches of annual rainfall, that matters every single day.
No Moss — Ever
Metal roofing eliminates the #1 maintenance headache for Kirkland homeowners. Moss simply cannot take root on a metal surface — no annual zinc strips, no chemical treatments, no scrubbing.
Wind & Storm Rated
Nu-Ray NRM panels are engineered for 120+ mph wind resistance — well above the requirements for Western Washington. Your roof won't lose panels in the windstorms that routinely hit Kirkland and the Eastside.
Snow Load Performance
Metal roofs shed snow cleanly due to their slick surface — preventing the ice damming and structural load buildup that can damage homes in Kirkland's occasional heavy snow years.
Lower Long-Term Cost
Metal costs 2–3x more upfront than asphalt but lasts 3x longer. Over a 50-year period, a Kirkland homeowner replacing asphalt twice will spend more than the cost of one metal roof installed once.
Adds Real Resale Value
A metal roof is a documented selling point in the competitive Kirkland and Bellevue real estate market. Buyers recognize the longevity — and the reduced ownership cost — that comes with a metal roof.
Kirkland's Certified Metal Roofing Installer
We don't just install metal roofs — we specify the right system for each home's pitch, exposure, and architectural style, source panels directly from Nu-Ray's Puyallup facility, and install every job to the manufacturer's exact specifications.
That means shorter lead times, faster scheduling, and the assurance that your panels weren't sitting in a distribution warehouse for six months before hitting your roof. Local supply chain, local expertise, local accountability.
Premium Metal Roof Finishes
Nu-Ray panels are available in five proprietary coating systems, each engineered for long-term color retention, fade resistance, and PNW weather durability.
D2 Kynar® with Ocean Guard
Ultimate protection with ULTRA-Cool pigment technology. Superior fade and chalk resistance.
50-Year Finish WarrantySelect Plus
PPG-produced high-performance polyester with excellent scratch resistance and color retention.
40-Year Finish WarrantyD2 Kynar® 500
70% Kynar PVDF fluoropolymer with reflective ULTRA-Cool pigment and solar reflectivity.
40-Year Finish WarrantyNatural Matte®
Low-gloss matte PVDF finish — refined, understated aesthetic without shine or glare.

Unpainted Zincalume steel with clear resin coating — raw industrial aesthetic with corrosion protection.
20-Year Finish WarrantyNu-Ray offers 40+ colors across all five finish systems. We'll bring samples to your free estimate appointment.
50-Year Roofing Cost: Metal vs. Asphalt
Based on a typical 2,000 sq ft Kirkland home. Metal's higher upfront cost disappears when you account for the full ownership lifecycle — no re-roofing, no moss treatments, no repairs.
| Cost Factor | Metal Roof (Nu-Ray) | Asphalt Shingles | Metal Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Installation | $24,000–$44,000 | $10,000–$18,000 | One-Time Cost |
| Replacement (50 yrs) | None required ✓ | 2 full replacements | Save $20K–$36K |
| Annual Moss Treatment | Not needed ✓ | $200–$500/year | Save $10K+ over 50 yrs |
| Maintenance & Repairs | Minimal / Rare | $500–$2,000 every 5 yrs | Save $5K–$20K |
| Homeowner's Insurance | Often reduced | Standard rate | Potential savings |
| 50-Year Total Cost | ~$24K–$44K total | ~$50K–$80K total | Metal wins long-term |

What Our Metal Roofing Clients Say
Verified reviews from homeowners across Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond & Greater Seattle.
"Atrax installed a Nu-Ray standing seam roof on our Kirkland home and it's absolutely stunning. The crew was professional, finished on time, and cleaned up everything. Best home investment we've made."
"We switched from asphalt to Nu-Ray metal after our third moss treatment in five years. Zero moss since installation. Should have done this a decade ago. The peace of mind is worth every penny."
"Will and the team explained every NRM panel option clearly and helped us choose the right system for our low-pitch addition. Outstanding knowledge — felt like talking to a real expert, not a salesperson."
"Three of my neighbors have now used Atrax for metal roofing after seeing ours installed. The quality of the Nu-Ray panels and the installation craftsmanship are both excellent."
"Panels were sourced locally and the roof was complete in four days. Fast, clean, exactly what was quoted — and the Kynar finish color we chose looks better in person than in the sample. Highly recommend."
"Our metal roof held up flawlessly through every PNW storm this past winter. Not a single issue. The 50-year warranty paperwork gave our home buyers real confidence during our sale."
