Frequently Asked Questions

How affordable is metal roofing compared to other materials?

Metal roofing provides your home with an immediate increase in value – for curb appeal, structural integrity, and longevity. While the upfront costs on metal roofs may differ from a traditional shingle roof, the savings on home energy bills over time and increased property value make metal roofs virtually pay for themselves.

How durable is metal roofing compared to other materials?

Metal roofing systems are vastly superior to traditional asphalt shingle roofing for a number of reasons. Where asphalt shingle roofs begin deteriorating the moment they are installed, metal roofs are made of effortlessly durable materials and come with high-quality coatings to ensure their longevity.

Is it true that metal roofs are unsuitable for certain homes?

Metal roofs are viable for the vast majority if not all structures, both commercial and residential. They tend to weigh up to 75% less than many traditional roofing systems (like fiber cement, slate, and concrete tiles) and up to 50% less than asphalt shingles.

ARE METAL ROOFS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT?

Because of the long life expectancy of metal roofs, they use up fewer materials over time than traditional roofing methods. When they are removed from a structure, components of a metal roof can be recycled and reused to save precious resources. Shingle roofs often need to be replaced and their components end up polluting the ground in landfills, unable to be efficiently recycled.
