FAQs
What are the benefits of metal roofing compared to traditional roofing materials?
Metal roofing offers several advantages over traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles or clay tiles. Key benefits include longevity (metal roofs can last 40-70 years), durability (resistant to cracking, shrinking, and erosion), low maintenance, energy efficiency (reflects solar heat, reducing cooling costs), and environmental friendliness (often made from recycled materials and fully recyclable at the end of their life).
How much does metal roofing cost?
The cost of metal roofing can vary depending on the type, style, and installation complexity. On average, metal roofing costs between $7 to $15 per square foot, including installation. While this is generally higher than traditional asphalt shingles, which range from $3 to $7 per square foot, the longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs of metal roofing can offer better value over time.
Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?
A common misconception is that metal roofing is significantly noisier during rain or hail compared to traditional roofing. However, when properly installed with solid sheathing and underlayment, metal roofs can effectively dampen sound, making the noise level comparable to or even quieter than other roofing materials.
Can metal roofing withstand extreme weather conditions?
Yes, metal roofing is highly durable and can withstand extreme weather conditions such as heavy snow, high winds, and hail. Metal roofs are also fire-resistant and can protect your home from the spread of wildfire. Their durability and resistance to weather elements often make them a preferred choice in areas with harsh climates.
Does metal roofing attract lightning?
No, metal roofing does not attract lightning any more than other types of roofing. Metal roofs are non-combustible, offering a safe option during electrical storms. If a metal roof were to be struck by lightning, it would safely disperse the electrical charge since it is grounded, reducing the risk of fire.
Can I install a metal roof over my existing roof?
In many cases, metal roofs can be installed over existing roofing materials without removing the old roof, saving on labor and disposal costs. However, it is essential to ensure that the existing structure can support the new metal roof and meets local building codes. A professional roofing contractor can evaluate your current roof and provide recommendations.
