Less work, more roof

By Jesse Sanchez. 

This metal-over-metal retrofit system is making life easier for contractors by reducing the hassles of traditional re-roofing. 

Roof Hugger is giving contractors a smarter way to reroof by offering a metal-over-metal retrofit system that replaces heavy labor with quick and easy installation. From skipping full tear-offs to streamlining installation, the Florida-based company is rethinking how metal roofs get replaced, and contractors are taking notice. 

One of the most physically demanding parts of the re-roofing process is tearing off the old panels. It’s dirty, disruptive and loaded with liability. Roof Hugger’s system skips that step entirely by allowing a new roof to be installed directly over the existing one. This approach significantly reduces contractor workload by eliminating the need for a demolition crew, minimizing exposure to weather delays and avoiding the hassle of managing roof debris and disposal.  

The system is designed with built-in efficiencies. Each component is factory-punched with alignment holes and layout guides, eliminating time-consuming measuring and reducing errors. Roof Hugger also matches the profile of the original roof, making it easy to nest and align without on-site modifications. Even custom profiles are handled in-house. 

For projects facing strict wind uplift requirements, Roof Hugger offers tested solutions like hat-channel sub-framing, ensuring compliance without extra engineering. All components are manufactured in the company’s Florida facility, keeping quality control tight and lead times short. 

Contractors already manage a wide range of responsibilities, and Roof Hugger’s goal is to simplify this part of the job to make their work more efficient. To help ease the load, contractors also get a digital boost. Roof Hugger’s mobile-ready website delivers CAD drawings, manuals and quote forms in just a few taps, streamlining the pre-install process.
