Everlast Roofing’s Everseam® panel combines premium curb appeal with long-term durability. 

For contractors serving the residential roofing market, standing seam metal continues to be a strong option for homeowners looking for performance, longevity and a clean architectural look. Everlast Roofing’s Everseam® panel is designed to meet that demand with a durable standing seam profile that combines weather protection with jobsite-ready installation features. 

Everseam is a 20-inch-wide panel with a 1 1/2-inch-high seam. The panel is secured using concealed clips that allow for thermal movement, helping create the smooth, uninterrupted appearance homeowners often want from a standing seam roof. Because the system does not rely on exposed fasteners, contractors can offer customers a finished look while also supporting long-term performance in the field. 

The panel is installed over a waterproof solid substrate and features an interlocking standing seam design, which allows it to be used on roof pitches as low as 3:12. That flexibility can help contractors expand where they recommend metal roofing, especially on residential projects where design, pitch and performance requirements vary from home to home. 

For contractors, the value of Everseam lies in its combination of architectural appeal and tested performance. Manufactured from high-strength 24-gauge steel, the panel is designed to deliver durability while maintaining the clean lines associated with traditional standing seam roofing. Everseam is available in flat, striations and minor rib profiles, giving homeowners multiple options to achieve their desired look. 

In addition to its appearance, Everseam carries UL 790 Class A fire resistance, UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance and UL 580 Class 90 uplift ratings, providing contractors with additional performance credentials when discussing residential metal roofing solutions with homeowners.

Everlast Roofing invites contractors to show off the projects they’re most proud of. 

A completed project can say a lot about a contractor’s workmanship. From clean lines and sharp trim details to bold color combinations and standout building designs, every finished roof is an opportunity to show customers what is possible. Everlast Roofing’s project showcase gives contractors a simple way to share that work and help inspire the next metal roofing project. 

Everlast Roofing invites contractors to submit projects they are proud of through their Gallery page. The showcase highlights projects across residential, post-frame, commercial and agricultural applications, making it a strong resource for contractors, distributors, homeowners and building owners looking for real-world examples of metal roofing in action. The gallery features Everlast Roofing product profiles including Everlast II®, Everdrain®, PBR, Everloc® and Everseam®, giving visitors a closer look at how different panels perform across a range of project types. 

The “Showcase Your Project” form makes it easy for contractors to submit the key details. Everlast Roofing asks for project photos, building location, roofing profile, roof color, trim color, siding color, contractor information and distributor information. Those details help tell a full story about the project, from the product selected to the finished look achieved in the field. 

For contractors, submitting a project is a chance to gain visibility while recognizing the skill of the crews who made it happen. It can also help future customers visualize colors, profiles and applications before making decisions on their own buildings. 

Whether the project stands out because of its location, design, color palette or craftsmanship, Everlast Roofing wants to see it. Contractors who have completed a project using Everlast Roofing products can submit their photos and details today. 

Visit Everlast Roofing to showcase your project and let your work help inspire what comes next.

Everlast Roofing continues to support agricultural producers with innovations designed for long-term durability and performance. 

Everlast Roofing, Inc. continues to strengthen its presence in the agricultural sector, and its participation at the World Pork Expo highlights the company’s commitment to serving producers in one of the most demanding environments for building materials. For 30 years, Everlast has pushed the metal building component industry forward, leading innovations such as CECI and Heat Forming that set new standards for durability and performance. At a premier event like the World Pork Expo, Everlast brings those advancements directly to pork producers who rely on high-quality construction to protect their operations and investments. 

The company understands that swine facilities face unique challenges, including high moisture levels and ammonia-rich conditions that accelerate corrosion. That’s why Everlast showcases its advanced steel solutions engineered specifically for these environments.  

A key highlight at the Expo is Everlast’s ZM60 coating, which represents the next generation of corrosion protection. Designed to slow the formation of red rust and extend the life of steel structures, ZM60 is particularly well suited for livestock facilities where durability is critical. Producers visiting the Everlast booth have the opportunity to see firsthand how these materials perform and to speak with experts about tailored solutions for their barns and buildings. 

The 2026 World Pork Expo will take place June 3-4 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, bringing together thousands of producers and nearly 400 exhibiting companies for two days of innovation, education and connection. Everlast Roofing invites attendees to stop by their booth during the show to learn more about their industry-leading products, connect with their team and explore how their solutions can help extend the life and performance of agricultural structures.

Materials that arrive in excellent condition help crews stay efficient. 

When contractors think about metal roofing quality, the conversation usually centers on steel gauge, coatings or panel design. But there’s another factor that plays a big role in how materials perform on the jobsite — packaging.  

Metal panels and trim often travel hundreds or even thousands of miles before they reach a project. During that journey, materials are handled multiple times, loaded onto trucks and exposed to vibration, movement and shifting loads. Without proper packaging, even high-quality panels can arrive scratched, dented or damaged before the first panel is ever installed.  

That’s why manufacturers like Everlast Roofing put significant thought into how their products are packaged and protected for transport.  

For example, Everlast bundles its panels using steel banding combined with wooden chocks spaced roughly every five feet along the bundle. These chocks stabilize the stack and help prevent the panels from shifting during shipping. The result is a tighter, more secure package that reduces the chance of movement that could damage panels in transit.  

Everlast also incorporates protective PVC covering over bundled panels to guard against scratches and scrapes while materials are being loaded, transported and unloaded. In addition, three-inch piping is placed at the ends of bundles to add extra protection where impacts are most likely to occur.  

Trim pieces are packaged with the same level of attention. They are secured with angle boards to maintain rigidity and wrapped in protective plastic that allows contractors to quickly identify the color while keeping the material protected.  

For concealed fastener and standing seam products, Everlast goes a step further by protecting panels with film and packaging them in sturdy wood crates.  

Why does this matter to contractors? Because materials that arrive in excellent condition help crews stay efficient. Less jobsite damage means fewer delays, fewer replacements and smoother installations.  

In the end, smart packaging isn’t just about protecting metal panels. It’s about protecting schedules, productivity and the finished look of the roof.
