Advantages of Metal Roofing

Metal roofing has become a popular choice for homeowners, and for good reason—there are quite a few solid benefits. Here's a breakdown of why you might want to consider metal roofing for your home:

✅ Durability

  • Longevity: Metal roofs can last 40–70 years, compared to asphalt shingles which typically last 15–30 years.
  • Weather Resistance: Metal stands up well against high winds, heavy rain, snow, and even hail. Some types are impact-resistant.
  • Fire Resistance: Most metal roofs are non-combustible and carry a Class A fire rating (the highest).

💸 Energy Efficiency

  • Reflective Surface: Metal reflects solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10–25%.
  • Cool Roof Coatings: Many metal roofs come with special finishes to further enhance energy efficiency.

🧼 Low Maintenance

  • Requires little upkeep compared to traditional materials. Occasional inspections and cleaning are usually enough.

🌍 Environmentally Friendly

  • Recyclable: Most metal roofing materials are made from 25–95% recycled content and are 100% recyclable at the end of their life.
  • Sustainability: Long lifespan reduces the need for frequent replacements and waste.

🏠 Aesthetic Options

  • Available in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes—even ones that mimic wood, tile, or slate.
  • Suitable for both modern and traditional architecture.

📈 Increased Property Value

  • Many homebuyers see it as a premium feature due to its durability and low maintenance.
  • Metal roofing can improve curb appeal and resale value of your home.

🧊 Snow and Ice Shedding

  • Smooth surface helps snow and ice slide off more easily, reducing ice dam risk in cold climates.d

Metal Roofing Color Options

Please Note: Colors displayed on electronic monitors are for approximation of actual colors.

Choosing the right roof color is about more than just looks—it affects your home’s curb appeal, energy efficiency, and even resale value. Here’s a guide to help you choose the best roof color:

🧱 1. Match Your Home’s Exterior Style & Color

  • Brick Homes: Go with warm tones like brown, black, or dark gray.

  • Stone Exteriors: Choose subtle tones like dark gray or slate.

  • Siding (vinyl/wood): Coordinate with siding color—contrast for visual interest, match for cohesion.

  • Bold Exteriors: Stick with neutral roof colors to avoid clashing.

☀️ 2. Consider Our Climate

  • Hot Climates: Light colors (white, beige, light gray) reflect sunlight and reduce cooling costs.

  • Cold Climates: Dark colors (black, dark brown, dark green) absorb heat, helping with snow melt and insulation.

🏠 3. Complement the Architectural Style

  • Colonial or Traditional: Black, dark gray, or dark brown.

  • Mediterranean or Spanish: Terracotta, clay-red, or warm brown.

  • Modern or Contemporary: Metal roofs with charcoal, gray, or even bold shades like matte black.

  • Cottage or Craftsman: Earthy tones like moss green, rust, or weathered wood.

🌳 4. Account for Your Surroundings

  • If you're surrounded by trees or in a valley, earth tones blend well.

  • Consider the neighborhood—HOAs often have rules or aesthetic norms.

🧮 5. Think Long-Term Maintenance

  • Lighter roofs show stains less (good in areas with algae or moss).

  • Darker roofs may fade faster in strong sunlight.

🏷️ 6. Check Resale Value

  • Neutral and classic colors (gray, black, brown) tend to have wider appeal, which helps with resale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lifespan difference between metal and asphalt shingles?

The lifespan difference between metal roofing and asphalt shingles is pretty significant:

Metal Roofing:

Lifespan: Typically 40 to 70 years, depending on the type of metal (steel, aluminum, copper, etc.) and quality of installation.

Pros: Long-lasting, durable, resistant to fire, rot, and pests; energy-efficient; low maintenance.

Cons: Higher initial cost; can be noisier during rain/hail if not insulated properly.

Asphalt Shingles:

Lifespan: Usually 15 to 30 years, depending on the shingle grade (3-tab, architectural, or premium).

Pros: Lower upfront cost; easier to install and repair; widely available.

Cons: Shorter lifespan; more susceptible to weather damage and moss/algae growth.

Summary:

Metal roofs can last 2 to 3 times longer than asphalt shingles. If you're planning for long-term value and durability, metal is the winner — but if you’re budget-focused upfront or not planning to stay in the same home long-term, shingles might be more appealing.
