FAQs
What are the main advantages of choosing metal panel roofing for a roof replacement?
Metal panels offer exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and resistance to extreme weather. They can last 40–70 years, withstand high winds, resist fire and hail, and are often made with recycled content that can be fully recycled at end-of-life. Their reflective coatings also reduce cooling costs by bouncing solar heat away from the home.
How long can I expect a new metal panel roof to last compared with asphalt shingles?
Properly installed metal panel roofs typically last 2–3 times longer than asphalt shingles. Most asphalt roofs need replacement after 15–25 years, while quality metal panels routinely perform for 40–70 years with minimal degradation. Warranties often include 30–50 years of coverage for both panels and factory finishes.
What factors influence the cost of replacing my roof with metal panels?
Key cost drivers include roof size and complexity (pitch, valleys, skylights), type and thickness (gauge) of metal chosen, underlayment and insulation upgrades, removal and disposal of the old roof, and local labor rates. While the upfront investment is usually higher than asphalt shingles, the longer service life, lower maintenance, and energy savings often make metal the more economical choice over time.
Can metal panels be installed over my existing roof, or will the old roofing have to be removed?
In many cases metal panels can be installed over a single layer of existing asphalt shingles, saving tear-off costs and reducing landfill waste. However, a roof inspection is required to confirm that the decking is sound, local codes allow an overlay, and weight/load limits will not be exceeded. If there are leaks, rot, or more than one existing layer, full removal is recommended before installing the new metal system.
What kind of maintenance does a metal panel roof require?
Metal roofs are low-maintenance. Periodic tasks include clearing debris from valleys and gutters, checking for loose fasteners or sealant wear around penetrations, and washing away dirt or algae with a garden hose or mild detergent. An annual or bi-annual inspection—especially after severe storms—helps catch minor issues before they become costly repairs. Unlike shingles, metal panels do not crack, curl, or shed granules.
Will a metal roof make my home noisier during rain or hotter in the sun?
Modern metal roofing is installed with solid sheathing, underlayment, and sometimes attic insulation that significantly dampens sound—making interior noise levels comparable to or quieter than other roofs. As for heat, the reflective coatings and emissive pigments on metal panels deflect radiant energy, keeping attic temperatures lower than dark asphalt shingles. Many homeowners notice reduced cooling bills after switching to metal.
