Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Roofing

1. How long do metal roofs typically last?

With proper installation and maintenance, a metal roof can last anywhere from 40 to 70 years, and often even longer. This is significantly longer than traditional asphalt shingles, making it a wise long-term investment for your home.

2. Are metal roofs noisy during rain or hail?

This is a common misconception. When installed correctly over a solid roof deck with proper insulation and underlayment, metal roofs are surprisingly quiet. In fact, they often perform better than asphalt shingles in dampening sound. The layered system absorbs and deflects sound effectively.

3. Are metal roofs more expensive than asphalt shingles?

While the upfront cost of a metal roof may be higher than asphalt shingles, it’s important to consider the long-term value. Metal roofs offer a much longer lifespan, require less maintenance, can reduce energy costs through reflectivity, and may even increase your home’s resale value. When you factor in these benefits over 50+ years, metal roofing often proves to be more cost-effective.

4. Can metal roofing be installed over my existing roof?

In many cases, yes. A metal roof can sometimes be installed directly over an existing layer of asphalt shingles, provided the existing roof structure is sound and meets local building codes. This can save on tear-off costs and debris removal. However, this is not always the best or recommended practice, and we will assess your specific situation to determine the optimal installation method.
