FAQs
What are the benefits of choosing metal roofing for my home?
Metal roofing offers numerous benefits, including exceptional durability, resistance to extreme weather conditions, energy efficiency, and low maintenance. Additionally, metal roofs can last 40-70 years, substantially longer than traditional asphalt shingles.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?
Contrary to popular belief, metal roofing is not noisier than other roofing types. When properly installed with solid sheathing, insulation, and proper underlayment, metal roofs can effectively dampen noise from rain, hail, and other weather events.
Will a metal roof make my home hotter in the summer?
No, metal roofs are actually energy-efficient and can help keep your home cooler. They reflect a significant portion of the sun's heat due to their reflective coatings, which can reduce cooling costs in the summer by up to 25%.
Are metal roofs environmentally friendly?
Yes, metal roofs are one of the most environmentally friendly roofing options available. They are often made from recycled materials and can be fully recycled at the end of their life cycle. Their longevity also means fewer roofing materials end up in landfills over time.
Can I install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
In many cases, yes, you can install a metal roof over existing asphalt shingles, which can save on removal and disposal costs. However, it is important to have a thorough inspection to ensure the roof structure can support the additional weight.
How much does a metal roof cost compared to other roofing materials?
While the upfront cost of metal roofing is generally higher than asphalt shingles, it can be comparable or even lower than high-end roofing materials like slate or tile. Considering the longevity, energy savings, and low maintenance, metal roofs can be more cost-effective in the long run.
