FAQs
How long do metal roofs last compared with asphalt shingles in Dayton’s climate?
High-quality steel or aluminum roofing panels routinely last 40–70 years in Southwest Ohio, even with our freeze-thaw cycles, high summer humidity, and occasional hail. By contrast, traditional asphalt shingles usually need replacement after 15–20 years. The metal panels are galvanized or Galvalume-coated to resist rust, and their factory-applied paint systems (Kynar/PVDF) retain color for decades. Choosing a reputable installer and following the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines can add decades to the roof’s life span.
Are metal roofing systems noisy during heavy rain or hail?
No. Modern residential metal roofs are installed over solid roof decking plus an underlayment and (often) attic insulation. These layers absorb sound, making the noise level indoors comparable to – and sometimes quieter than – an asphalt shingle roof. If additional sound dampening is desired, we can add a high-density synthetic underlayment or a thin acoustic mat without altering the finished appearance.
Will a metal roof improve my home’s energy efficiency?
Yes. Most panels we install carry a Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC) label and feature infrared-reflective pigments that bounce away 25–40 % of the sun’s heat. Homeowners in Dayton typically see summer attic temperatures drop 30–40 °F, translating into 10–25 % savings on air-conditioning costs. Because metal quickly sheds winter snow, ice dams are also reduced, lowering heat-loss and moisture issues. Federal energy-efficiency tax credits may be available on qualifying reflective coatings.
How much does a metal roof cost and do you offer financing?
Installed pricing in the Dayton market usually falls between $9 and $14 per square foot for standing-seam or high-profile steel systems, about two to three times the cost of a basic asphalt roof. The higher upfront investment is offset by lower maintenance, insurance discounts, energy savings, and the fact that you may never need another roof. We partner with local lenders to provide low-interest, zero-down financing plans and can bundle gutters, insulation, and tear-off costs into one convenient monthly payment.
Can metal roofing be installed over my existing shingle roof?
Often, yes. Because metal panels weigh 50-70 % less than asphalt shingles, they can usually be installed over a single existing layer, saving tear-off labor and landfill fees. We first inspect for damaged decking, ventilation issues, and local building-code restrictions; if the substrate is sound and code allows, we lay a slip-sheet or ventilation batten system and then attach the metal panels. Going over shingles can shorten installation time and cut disposal costs by 20–25 %.
How do metal roofs perform against the high winds, hail, and storms common to Southwestern Ohio?
Our standing-seam and interlocking metal systems carry wind-uplift ratings of 120–150 mph and a UL Class 4 impact-resistance rating, the highest available. Panels interlock on all four sides, and concealed fasteners reduce the chance of water intrusion or panel blow-off. In hail tests, the coating may show minor cosmetic dimples, but the metal will not crack like asphalt or clay. Many insurers offer premium reductions for Class 4 roofs installed by certified contractors.
