HeatShield™ manufacturing facility in Asheboro, North Carolina, expands to two roll formers operating seven days a week as Gator Metal Roofing responds to growing homeowner demand across the Carolinas.
GARNER, N.C., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- When demand for your product grows so rapidly that one manufacturing machine can no longer keep up, what do you do? If you're Gator Metal Roofing, you bring in another one and keep the factory running seven days a week.
Gator Metal Roofing, Carolinas' leading residential metal roofing companies, is announcing a significant expansion in manufacturing capacity at the HeatShield™ manufacturing facility in Asheboro, North Carolina.
The facility has purchased a second state-of-the-art metal roofing roll former to help meet the growing demand for Gator Metal Roofing's premium metal roofing systems throughout North and South Carolina.
The new equipment joins the existing roll former that has been producing roofing materials for Gator Metal Roofing. With two machines now available, the manufacturing operation is positioned to produce roofing panels seven days a week to support the company's expanding installation schedule.
"ONE MACHINE JUST COULDN'T KEEP UP ANYMORE."
According to Brian Moscarelli, General Manager for Gator Metal Roofing, the manufacturing expansion reflects the company's remarkable growth and the increasing number of Carolina homeowners choosing metal roofing over traditional asphalt shingles.
"We have a very good problem," said Moscarelli. "So many homeowners are choosing Gator Metal Roofing that our original roll former simply couldn't keep up with the demand. Rather than slow down, we're expanding. We now have two roll formers producing roofing materials seven days a week. That's how serious we are about meeting the needs of homeowners across North and South Carolina."
The expansion is also a positive development for North Carolina manufacturing, keeping production in Asheboro while supporting a growing roofing installation business headquartered in Garner.
WHY ARE SO MANY HOMEOWNERS SWITCHING TO METAL ROOFING?
For decades, traditional asphalt shingles have dominated the residential roofing market. But Gator Metal Roofing believes that homeowners are increasingly looking beyond the initial price of a roof and focusing instead on long-term durability, energy efficiency, and the potential to avoid repeated roof replacements.
Metal roofing offers a compelling alternative, particularly in the Carolinas, where homes can face intense summer heat, heavy rainfall, strong winds, and severe storms.
Gator Metal Roofing's HeatShield™ roofing systems are designed to provide homeowners with long-lasting protection and improved energy performance.
The company highlights several important benefits:
- Lifetime material warranty: HeatShield™ roofing systems are backed by a lifetime warranty on qualifying materials, subject to warranty terms.
- Five-year workmanship warranty: Gator Metal Roofing backs its residential roof installations with a five-year labor warranty.
- Energy-efficient roofing technology: The company offers ENERGY STAR-labeled roofing products and promotes potential energy savings of up to 40% for qualifying whole-home roofing installations.
- Affordable metal roofing: Gator focuses on making premium metal roofing accessible to homeowners seeking long-term value without premium-level pricing.
"NOBODY — AND I MEAN NOBODY — BEATS GATOR ON PRICING."
Moscarelli says the company's philosophy has remained consistent even as demand has increased. "We believe homeowners should not have to choose between quality and affordability," said Moscarelli. "Nobody — and I mean nobody — beats Gator on pricing. We're offering homeowners an exceptional metal roofing system, a lifetime material warranty, a five-year workmanship warranty, and an opportunity to improve their home's energy efficiency. That's a combination that's very hard to beat."
NORTH CAROLINA MANUFACTURING. CAROLINA HOMES. A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT.
The addition of a second roll former represents more than a machinery purchase. It demonstrates confidence in the future of residential metal roofing and the company's continued commitment to serving homeowners throughout the Carolinas.
With the expanded manufacturing operation in Asheboro and its residential roofing operations based in Garner, Gator Metal Roofing is strengthening its ability to respond to homeowner demand while maintaining control over roofing product production and installation quality.
"We're not just putting roofs on houses," Moscarelli added. "We're helping families make an investment in their homes that is designed to last for generations. And now, with two roll formers producing roofing materials seven days a week, we're better equipped than ever to deliver on that promise."
