FAQs
What exactly are classic metal shingles and how do they differ from standing-seam or traditional asphalt roofing?
Classic metal shingles are interlocking steel or aluminum panels pressed to mimic the look of wood, slate, or architectural shingles. Unlike standing-seam systems, which use long vertical panels, metal shingles install in smaller sections and have concealed fasteners that lock together on all four sides. Compared with asphalt shingles, they are lighter, non-combustible, impervious to rot, and typically last two to three times longer while maintaining a traditional residential appearance.
How long will a classic metal shingle roof last and what warranties do you provide?
Properly installed metal shingles have a service life of 40–70 years, depending on the alloy and the environment. Our manufacturer’s warranty covers the metal substrate for 50 years against rust perforation and 30 years against paint fade or chalking. In addition, Reliance Roofing provides a 10-year workmanship warranty that is fully transferable if you sell your home within that period.
Will a metal shingle roof be noisy during rain or hail?
No. When installed over quality underlayment and sheathing, a metal shingle roof is no louder than an asphalt roof. Most of the sound is absorbed by the deck, the attic insulation, and the air space created by the shingle profile. Homeowners in Reliance often report the interior is actually quieter because metal deflects impact noise more effectively than thin asphalt tabs.
How does the overall cost of metal shingles compare to asphalt shingles over time?
Upfront, a classic metal shingle roof typically costs 2–2.5 times more than a premium asphalt roof. However, because metal lasts 40-70 years versus asphalt’s 15-25 years, you avoid at least one full replacement cycle. Factor in lower maintenance, reduced homeowners-insurance premiums (up to 25% for Class IV hail resistance), and improved energy efficiency, and the lifetime cost of metal is usually 30–40% less than asphalt.
Can metal shingles withstand Reliance’s extreme weather conditions such as high winds, hail, and temperature swings?
Yes. Our shingles carry a Class IV impact rating, the highest available, meaning they survive 2-inch hail without cracking. The interlocking design resists wind uplift to 140 mph, well above local code. Metal’s low thermal expansion and high-temperature coatings enable it to handle Reliance’s hot summers and freezing winters without curling, cracking, or losing granules like asphalt.
Will a metal shingle roof improve my home’s energy efficiency and can it be installed over my existing shingles?
The high-reflective paint finishes used on classic metal shingles reflect up to 70% of solar heat, lowering attic temperatures and cutting summer cooling bills by 10–25%. In many cases, the shingles can be installed over one layer of existing asphalt roofing, saving tear-off costs and keeping material out of landfills. We perform a deck inspection to ensure the structure is sound before deciding on a direct-over installation.
