FAQs
What are the benefits of metal roofing compared to traditional shingles?
Metal roofing offers several advantages over traditional shingles, including durability, longevity, energy efficiency, and resistance to extreme weather conditions. Metal roofs can last 40-70 years compared to the 15-30 years for asphalt shingles. Additionally, they reflect solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10-25%.
How does the cost of metal roofing compare to other types of roofing materials?
While the initial cost of metal roofing is higher than asphalt shingles, it is comparable to other premium materials like slate or cedar. However, the long-term savings on maintenance, repairs, and energy costs often make metal roofing a more cost-effective choice over time.
Is metal roofing noisy when it rains?
Modern metal roofing, when properly installed with insulation and solid sheathing, is not significantly noisier than other types of roofing. The noise level can be comparable to, or even quieter than, traditional asphalt shingles.
Can metal roofing be installed over my existing roof?
Yes, in many cases, metal roofing can be installed over an existing roof without removing the old roofing material, provided the structure can support the additional weight. This can save time and money on removal and disposal.
How resistant is metal roofing to extreme weather conditions?
Metal roofing is highly resistant to various extreme weather conditions including high winds, heavy rain, hail, and snow. Most metal roofs can withstand winds up to 140 miles per hour and have a Class 4 impact resistance rating, the highest available.
Does metal roofing require special maintenance?
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other roofing materials. Regular inspections to ensure no debris buildup and checking for loose fasteners or minor repairs can keep your metal roof in excellent condition. Most manufacturers also offer warranties that cover 20-50 years.
