In the best environment, asphalt shingles last only 12–20 years while metal roofing comparatively has a life expectancy in excess of 75 years. Metal roofing is comparatively less expensive than asphalt shingles when you take into consideration that one metal roof will last as long as 3 shingle roofs.
An energy efficient roof can produce a huge return on investment for many years. Studies show metal roofing can save as much as 25 percent on heating costs and up to 40 percent in summer cooling energy costs.
Metal roofing contains up to 60% recycled material, and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life. And, if history repeats itself, the initial cost of a new metal roof will be fully recovered when it is recycled for scrap in 75-100 years.
One of the advantages of metal roofing is its ease of integration with solar panels. Even if you are not installing solar panels immediately, if you should ever wish to, having a metal roof (especially standing seam metal) will make the process that much easier!
Maintenance on a standing seam metal roof is almost nonexistent, with the exception that every 35-40 years it needs a new coat of paint. Unlike asphalt shingles or cedar shakes, a metal roof is not susceptible to algae and fungus growing on it. Metal is the way to go for a worry-free roof.
Metal roofs and metal siding are beautiful! Install a sleek, modern-looking metal roof, and you’ll be the envy of the neighborhood. With options for finishes, colors, and styles continuing to explode, metal roofs can match whatever look you are dreaming of for your home.
Metal roofs also retain their curb appeal for years. You won’t be finding any newly patched areas or discolorations from fungus growth on the metal roofs.
Metal roofs have a Class A fire rating, meaning the covering and underlying materials provide additional fire protection. This makes metal roofs one of the most fire-resistant options on the market for roofing materials. In addition, metal roofing often translates into a reduction on the homeowner’s insurance rate meaning less insurance.
Demand for metal roofs is increasing with good reason! The homeowner wins all along the line–even when he sells his home. Homebuyers are willing to pay more for homes with durable metal roofs. A metal roof can increase your property’s value by 1 to 6 percent.

The initial cost of a metal roof is often more than the initial cost of a shingle roof. Metal panels cost more than shingles and require more skilled labor to install.
Remember though to evaluate the overall investment of a metal roof compared to a shingle roof. Metal roofs can last 2 to 3 times longer than shingled roofs. Metal roofs require very little maintenance compared to asphalt shingles. And considering our 40-year paint warranty, the savings over time makes metal a smarter choice.
If you are thinking of the sound of rain on a metal barn or shed roof, think again. A metal roof on a barn or shed often doesn’t include the complete roof assembly required on residential and commercial buildings. With the complete roof assembly (roof deck, insulation and underlayment) properly installed, a metal roof is no noisier in the rain than any other roofing material.
The short answer is “No.” Extensive research shows that metal roofs are no more likely to be struck by lightning than any other type of roof. Since metal roofs are highly fire resistant, they are very safe even in the most intense electrical storm.
Yes, as long as your local building code allows it and your existing shingled roof is still relatively flat. With their light weight, metal roofing panels can be installed over a shingled roof without compromising the integrity of the roof trusses. This installation method can save up to 25% of the labor cost of removing your old roof prior to installing metal roofing.
Properly installed metal roofing panels last, and last, and last… 40, 50, or even 75 years. That’s 2-3 times the life of a shingle roof. Install a metal roof and you’ll likely never need to replace it in your lifetime!
