Metal roof lifespan
Star Roofing & Siding is based in Rapid City, about 40 miles southeast of Lead on Highway 85. We have worked on historic miners’ cottages, steep-pitched mountain homes, and modern builds throughout Lawrence County. Lead is not a typical roofing market and we treat it that way, with specialized equipment, steep-pitch training, and metal roofing systems engineered for 5,200-foot elevation.
Standing seam metal roofs shed snow naturally, eliminating the weight problem that crushes asphalt shingle roofs at elevation. Metal handles thermal cycling without cracking. It resists ice dam formation when paired with proper ventilation. And it lasts 50 years or more with minimal maintenance.
From hail-damaged roofs to full siding replacements and everything your Lead home needs
The premium choice for Lead’s mountain climate. Sheds snow naturally, handles thermal cycling, and lasts a lifetime. We install standing seam systems engineered for heavy snow loads.
Full tear-off and new installation. For asphalt shingle homes, we use impact-resistant Class 4 products with ice-and-water shield underlayment across the entire deck.
Lead may be in the mountains, but it still gets hit by Black Hills hail. We inspect, document, and handle the entire insurance claim.
Proper attic insulation, ventilation improvements, and strategic heat cable placement. We fix the root cause, not just the symptom.
Premium siding that matches Lead’s historic character while providing modern durability and impact resistance.

Had the pleasure of working with Dylan as our contractor. We were using a different company but the claim got denied by the insurance adjuster. I explained the story to Dylan and he promised he would make it work out. So I switched to Star and Dylan was able to make it happen! Super kind, very responsive and made everything stress free. I threw a few curve balls at him but he never wavered. Very trustworthy company, they are not out there to scam your insurance. Very honest in what you need and what you can get.Posted on Will DistlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Dylan at Star Exterior. Always got back to me when I had a question and stopped by whenever I needed him to. He made the job run smoothly.
