The products that we use are designed with thick-cut edges to the dimensionality of asphalt shingles but last two to three times longer.

Usually, asphalt shingles have a lower installation cost than most roofing materials; however, you get what you pay for in terms of lifespan. With an average lifespan of only 10-12 years, asphalt shingles are not as durable or long-lasting as the metal roofs we provide.

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • How do I choose the right metal roofing system?
    There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best metal roofing material for a given structure will depend on several specific factors. Some common factors to consider when choosing a roofing material include cost, material strength, weight, sustainability, energy efficiency, recyclability, and maintenance.

    According to Realtors, a metal roof can improve a home's resale value by 1-6 percent more than an asphalt shingle roof. Furthermore, you will be able to recover about 85 percent of the roof cost in increased resale value.
  • Corrosion and rust are common problems with metal roofs?
    Most metal roofs have protective paint systems or coatings specifically engineered to resist corrosion, but some circumstances could cause it. Make sure to read the warranty or product specs thoroughly to determine if you’re in a location that could be subject to premature corrosion.
  • Is metal roofing compatible with my existing roof?
    Yes! You can almost always lay a new metal roof over an existing shingle roof. One of the many factors contributing to the popularity of metal roofs is that they can be installed without entirely taking off the existing roof, which is time-consuming and expensive.
  • How heavy are metal roofs, and will they weigh down my building?
    Many think metal roofs must be heavier, but they are usually much lighter than asphalt composition shingles. Asphalt roofs weigh on average 5lbs per square foot, while metal roofs weigh 1.6lbs per square foot on average.
  • Is it more expensive to have a metal roof than a composition roof?
    As a one-time cost, metal roofing is more expensive.). One metal roof can last 60+ years, whereas an asphalt shingle roof only lasts 15-20 years, so metal roofing is typically less expensive in the long term.

  • Is it likely that lightning will strike these roofs?
    Lightning can be unpredictable, but it is more likely to strike taller objects. Metal roofs are not more likely to be struck by lightning, even if made with the same materials as lightning rods.
  • Does metal roofing reduce the cost of my home insurance?
    Metal roofing systems are less likely to sustain damage from hail, a windstorm, and house fires, so insurance companies favor them. And fewer claims, the lower your insurance premiums.
