What Makes S-5! Different?
What makes any company the leader in their product category, standing out from all others who follow?
It is a culture and ethos within its leadership to strive for perfection. From business ethic and customer service to the quality of its products, this drive for perfection leads to excellence in every aspect of our business. When we say The Right Way™, it is not just a slogan-- it is the credo and rule of conduct for everything we do.
Having served the industry from the beginning as the original inventor of an all-new, distinctive product category, we have the knowledge, research, engineering, testing, production capability, ingenuity and overall expertise to develop and stand behind our products like no other in this marketplace.
We strive daily to earn your trust and be your choice for metal roofing attachment solutions by doing what we do The Right Way.
We’re a Hands-On Company, Designing Technologies and Solutions for Real-World Problem-Solving.
In 1992, S-5! created an entirely new market and its own distinctive category of engineered, manufactured metal roof attachments.
CEO and Founder of S-5!, Rob Haddock, was a long-time metal roofing contractor and consultant. During his consulting career, Rob was often asked to determine why a roof had failed.
With a hands-on contracting and problem-solving background, he realized the need for a prudent and permanent solution for the attachment of rooftop ancillaries, such as snow guards, service walkways, antennae, HVAC and more.
This led to his disruptive technology inventions, creating the opening for a whole new product category and the establishment of S-5! and Metal Roof Innovations, Ltd.
We Designed a Simple Solution for an Age-Old Problem.
With nearly 200 issued patents and a track record dating back to 1992 as the industry’s leading provider of metal roof attachment technologies, S-5! offers you a permanent solution to a 1,000-year-old problem.
No one imagined it could be so simple. S-5! technologies were an industry game-changer.
Why Do We Set the Bar So High?
Having invented the space of engineered, manufactured metal roof attachments, we set a high bar of excellence. We have a reputation and responsibility to maintain it—and always have.
Continuous Innovation
With all three of Rob’s adult children now in the family business, along with a full complement of design/engineering staff, a testing lab and our own production facility, S-5! continues to constantly innovate new and better attachment solutions. You can count on us to be in a continuous product improvement and invention/reinvention mode within the space we originally created, bringing you the latest product technologies.
Why We Only Do Business The Right Way
Maintaining Integrity
The integrity of our company is not for sale—at any price. If we have a lower cost solution, we make sure you are aware. If we screw up, we go above and beyond to fix it. The way we look at it, if you have a problem with our product and bring it to our attention, you are doing us a favor! That’s just how we roll.
Our customers understand the depth of knowledge, research, engineering and rigorous testing that goes into each and every one of our products, to ensure safety and maintain the structural, metallurgical and weatherproof integrity of the roof.
Do You Know Where S-5! Products are Manufactured?

We offer two comprehensive warranties:
