FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing metal roofing over traditional shingles?
Metal roofing offers exceptional strength and durability, routinely lasting 40–70 years compared with the 15–25-year lifespan of asphalt shingles. It resists cracking, shrinking, and eroding, stands up to winds of 140 mph or higher, and sheds rain, snow, and debris quickly thanks to its smooth, interlocking panels. In addition, metal roofs are non-combustible (Class A fire rating), lightweight, and 100 % recyclable at the end of their service life, making them an environmentally responsible choice.
How long does a metal roof last?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, a premium metal roof can last 50 years or more. Many manufacturers offer warranties of 30–50 years on the paint finish and weather integrity. Factors influencing lifespan include the metal type (steel, aluminum, copper, zinc), the quality of the protective coating, local climate, and whether the roof receives periodic inspections to catch minor issues before they escalate.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter or colder?
No. In fact, metal roofing can improve energy efficiency. Modern metal panels are often coated with high-reflectivity, infrared-blocking finishes that reflect much of the sun’s radiant heat, helping keep attic temperatures lower in hot weather. Paired with proper insulation and ventilation, a metal roof can reduce cooling costs by 10–25 %. In winter, the same reflective properties do not cause heat loss because heat primarily escapes from indoor spaces by conduction, not radiation, and metal roofs are installed over an insulating deck or underlayment.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?
When installed correctly over solid sheathing and an attic insulation layer, a metal roof is no louder than other roofing materials. Sound-deadening underlayments and rigid insulation absorb much of the impact noise. For homes replacing lightweight shingles, homeowners typically do not notice any increase in sound levels. If additional quiet is desired, specialized acoustic membranes can be added during installation.
How much maintenance does a metal roof require?
Metal roofs are low-maintenance. Seasonal tasks usually include removing leaves or branches from valleys and gutters, checking for accumulated debris behind chimneys or skylights, and visually inspecting fasteners, sealant joints, and flashing. Unlike asphalt shingles, metal panels do not curl or shed granules, so maintenance focuses on ensuring sealants remain intact and any surface scratches are touched up to protect against corrosion.
Can a metal roof be installed over my existing roofing?
In many cases, yes. Because metal roofing is lightweight—often 50 % lighter than asphalt—it can often be installed directly over an existing single layer of shingles, saving tear-off labor, landfill fees, and time. Local building codes and the condition of the existing deck must be evaluated first. A roof inspection will determine if there is moisture damage, uneven decking, or multiple shingle layers that should be removed before the metal panels are installed.
