Why Metal Roofing

A Roof That Could Outlast Your Mortgage

Metal roofing costs more up front than asphalt, but with a 40–70 year lifespan, the math often works out in your favor — and the look is unbeatable on the right home.

Styles & Profiles

Metal Roofing Styles We Install

Different profiles serve different goals. We'll help you choose based on home style, budget, and the look you're after.

Standing Seam

Standing Seam

Vertical panels with hidden fasteners between raised seams. The premium look. Best fit for: modern homes, farmhouses, and high-end builds.

Exposed Fastener

Exposed Fastener Systems

Corrugated or ribbed panels with visible screws. More affordable than standing seam. Best fit for: outbuildings, barns, accent roofs, budget-conscious installs.

Metal Shingles

Metal Shingles

Individual metal pieces that mimic slate, tile, or shake. Best fit for: traditional homes where you want metal's durability without changing the architectural style.

Accent Roofing

Accent Roofing

Metal on porches, bay windows, dormers, or low-slope sections paired with shingles elsewhere. Best fit for: adding curb-appeal pop without re-doing the whole roof.

Common Questions

Metal Roofing FAQs

Isn't metal roofing loud during rain?

This is the most common myth about metal roofing. When installed over solid decking with proper underlayment (which is how we install it), the noise inside the house is comparable to — and sometimes quieter than — a shingle roof. The "loud metal roof" experience is from uninsulated barns and sheds where panels sit on open purlins.

How does metal compare to asphalt shingles?

Metal costs roughly 2–3x more upfront than a comparable shingle roof, but lasts 2–3x longer. If you plan to stay in the home for 20+ years, the lifetime cost is competitive or better. Metal also wins on energy efficiency, storm resistance, and curb appeal on the right home style.

Will metal roofing save me money on energy bills?

Likely yes, especially with cool-roof color choices and Energy Star-rated coatings. Reflective metal surfaces can lower cooling costs 10–25% in summer. Pair with good attic ventilation for maximum impact.

How does metal handle snow, ice, and hail?

Metal sheds snow well — sometimes too well, which is why we install snow guards on roofs over walkways and entries. For ice dams, metal performs better than shingles because there's nothing for ice to grip. Hail can dent metal panels but rarely causes leaks, and impact-resistant metal options exist for hail-prone areas.

Does metal roofing rust?

Modern metal roofing uses Galvalume (aluminum-zinc coated steel) or aluminum, both of which are highly rust-resistant. With factory-applied Kynar 500 paint finishes, you're looking at 40+ years before any visible corrosion.
