FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing steel or aluminum roofing for my home in Benton?
Steel and aluminum roofs offer superior durability, energy efficiency, and longevity. They resist hail, high winds, fire, and mildew—key concerns in Benton’s varied climate. Metal panels reflect solar heat, lowering cooling costs by up to 25 %. They are also lightweight, so they place less stress on your home’s structure, and are largely made from recycled material, making them an environmentally friendly choice.
How long does a metal roof last compared to traditional asphalt shingles?
A professionally installed steel or aluminum roof can last 40–70 years, while asphalt shingles usually need replacement after 15–25 years. The longer life span means fewer tear-offs and lower lifetime cost. Most metal systems come with 30- to 50-year manufacturer warranties, plus workmanship warranties from the installer, giving you decades of coverage.
Will a steel or aluminum roof make my home hotter during Benton’s summers?
No. Metal roofing is often coated with special "cool roof" pigments that reflect a significant portion of the sun’s radiant energy. This reduces attic temperatures and can cut your air-conditioning bills. Proper attic ventilation and insulation work together with the reflective surface to keep indoor spaces comfortable.
Is metal roofing noisy when it rains or hails?
Modern steel and aluminum roofs are usually installed over an existing deck and underlayment system that dampens sound. When paired with attic insulation, the noise level is comparable to—or even quieter than—traditional shingles. If sound is a concern, additional acoustic underlayments can be added during installation.
How much maintenance does a steel or aluminum roof require?
Metal roofing is low maintenance. Routine tasks include clearing debris from valleys and gutters, checking sealant on flashings every few years, and scheduling a professional inspection after severe storms. Because metal does not crack, warp, or grow moss, maintenance costs and efforts are minimal compared to other roofing materials.
What is the typical cost of installing a metal roof in Benton, and are financing options available?
Installed costs for steel or aluminum roofing in Benton generally run $9–$14 per square foot, depending on panel type, roof complexity, and current material prices. While up-front costs are higher than asphalt shingles, the long service life and energy savings make metal more economical long-term. Many contractors offer financing plans, same-as-cash promotions, or can guide you toward energy-efficiency rebates that help offset initial expenses.
