What are the benefits of metal roofing?
Metal roofing is durable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance. It can last 40–70 years, withstand harsh weather conditions, and reflect heat, reducing cooling costs.
How much does a metal roof cost?
The cost varies based on the type of metal, roof size, and complexity of installation. While metal roofs have a higher upfront cost than asphalt shingles, they last longer and require fewer repairs, making them a cost-effective investment.
metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?
No, metal roofs are installed over solid decking and insulation, which significantly reduces noise. They are not louder than traditional shingle roofs.
Does a metal roof attract lightning?
No, metal roofs do not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike. In fact, metal is a non-combustible material, making it one of the safest roofing options.
Can a metal roof be installed over an existing shingle roof?
Yes, in many cases, a metal roof can be installed over existing shingles, reducing waste and installation costs. However, an inspection is needed to ensure proper structural support.
Will a metal roof rust over time?
No, modern metal roofing is coated with protective layers such as galvanized or Galvalume steel, which prevent rust and corrosion.
How long does a metal roof last?
A well-maintained metal roof can last 40–70 years or more, far outlasting asphalt shingles, which typically last 15–30 years.
What kind of warranty do you offer on your metal roofing?
Warranty coverage varies based on the metal type and manufacturer. Most metal roofs come with a 30–50 year warranty, covering issues like paint finish, corrosion, and manufacturing defects.
