Most roofs get replaced. This one got upgraded. 🔧 🏢

What you’re seeing isn’t just a new metal roof being installed—it’s a fully engineered Roof Hugger
system designed to improve performance from the structure up.

By installing custom-fit sub-purlins over the existing roof, this system creates a true load path,
allows for added insulation, and delivers long-term durability—without the need for a full tear-off.

✔ Built for performance
✔ Designed for longevity
✔ Installed without disrupting operations

This is what a smarter roof upgrade looks like.

A retrofit roof isn’t just layers—it’s a system. 🏢 🔩

It’s easy to focus on individual components… thicker steel, different shapes, stronger-looking parts. But in real-world performance, roofing systems don’t succeed or fail based on a single piece.

They succeed based on how everything works together.

Purlins. Sub-purlins. Panels. Connections.
Load paths. Uplift resistance. Structural behavior.

Because when one component reaches its limit—the system does too.

That’s why Roof Hugger doesn’t rely on assumptions or “looks stronger” claims.
Our systems are backed by extensive industry testing—including AISI, ASTM, UL, and FM standards —and supported by engineered analysis that evaluates full-system performance, not just individual
parts.

✔ Verified load paths
✔ Proven uplift performance
✔ Engineered system strength

Don’t risk your building on isolated components or non-standard testing.

Summer heat is here—take action before it costs you. ☀️ 🏢

If your building is struggling to stay cool now, peak heat will only make it worse. Every day you wait means higher energy bills, more strain on your HVAC, and more stress on your building.

Don’t wait for the problem to show itself.

A Roof Hugger retrofit system helps you get ahead—improving performance, lowering energy use, and extending roof life without shutting down operations.

Evaluate it now. Fix it before peak summer hits.

A roof shouldn’t just be an expense—it should be an investment. 📊 🏢

Too often, roofing decisions are made based on upfront cost alone. But when you look at the full picture—energy savings, reduced maintenance, and long-term performance—the value becomes clear.

A properly engineered retrofit system doesn’t just solve today’s problems—it improves how your building performs for decades.

Lower energy use. Less strain on systems. Longer service life.

The real question isn’t “what does it cost?”
It’s “what is it costing you not to fix it?”

When it comes to metal-over-metal retrofit, experience matters—and so does
having a partner you can rely on.

For years, industry professionals have trusted Roof Hugger to deliver engineered
solutions that perform—especially when re-roofing over existing metal systems.

Because every building is different, and every project demands precision.

Why does Roof Hugger build with metal? This is one reason. ☀️ 🏢

Metal roofing—especially with reflective coatings—is designed to bounce solar radiation
away from your building, not absorb it.

For commercial buildings, that matters more than most realize.

Large roof spans = constant sun exposure.
More absorption = more heat inside.
More heat = higher energy costs.

When your roof reflects instead of absorbs, you’re reducing heat at the source—before it
ever impacts your building’s performance.

The right roof doesn’t just cover your building—it helps control it.

Your roof could be your building’s biggest hidden expense. ⚡🏢

Most older metal buildings were never designed with proper insulation—turning the roof into a direct pathway for heat transfer. As the sun beats down, that heat moves straight into the structure, forcing your HVAC system to work harder, run longer, and wear out faster.

The result? Rising energy bills, inconsistent interior temperatures, and increased strain on your building’s systems.

And the problem isn’t always obvious—because it’s happening above you.

A Roof Hugger retrofit system addresses the issue at its source. By installing a new metal roof over the existing one and incorporating insulation within the cavity, you’re not just covering the problem—you’re upgrading the entire system.

✔ Reduced heat transfer�
✔ Improved energy efficiency�
✔ Less HVAC strain�
✔ Long-term performance gains

Fixing the problem doesn’t start with your HVAC—it starts with your roof.

Leaking roof. Aging structure. Operations at risk. 🏹 🏢

Global Archery’s facility in Indiana was dealing with constant water intrusion from an outdated metal roof filled with abandoned penetrations—putting valuable inventory in danger. A full tear-off would’ve meant major disruption… but there was a better way.

Using a Roof Hugger structural sub-purlin system, the team installed a new metal roof directly over the existing one—custom-fit to unique rib spacing and conditions, while adding insulation and improving performance.

✔ 20,000+ sq ft completed in just over a month
✔ No disruption to daily operations
✔ Increased performance + long-term protection

From problem roof to high-performing system—without shutting the doors.

Is the added weight of a retrofit system a concern? It’s a smart question—and one that’s already been accounted for. 🏢 ⚖️

The International Building Code allows for up to 3 lbs per square foot of additional weight without requiring a full structural review. A typical Roof Hugger retrofit, including the new panels, will only add around 2 lbs. per square foot, keeping it well within that threshold.

But here’s what many don’t realize—this isn’t just added weight, it’s added strength.

Roof Hugger’s engineered sub-purlin system is mechanically fastened into the building’s structure, creating a true load path and often increasing purlin strength and overall system performance especially when it comes to wind uplift and structural capacity.

Of course, every building is different. If additional loads like HVAC, solar, or fire suppression systems are being added, a professional engineering review is always recommended.

Bottom line: you’re not just adding a roof—you’re upgrading the structure beneath it.
