Why Metal

Built to outlast everything else

Metal roofing isn’t a premium option — it’s the rational choice for any homeowner who wants to install once and be done.

50–70 Year Lifespan
Metal roofs outlast asphalt by decades. A properly installed metal roof may be the last one your home ever needs.
Up to 40% Lower Cooling Bills
Reflects radiant heat instead of absorbing it. DOE and Florida Solar Energy Center studies confirm 25–40% lower cooling costs every summer.
140+ MPH Wind Rating
Class A fire rated and engineered to withstand winds exceeding 140 mph — the highest available wind resistance rating.
Up to 86% Resale ROI
One of the highest-returning home upgrades in Remodeling Magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value report. Buyers pay more for it — every time.
Tax Credits & Insurance Discounts
Energy Star-qualified metal roofs earn a federal Section 25C tax credit, plus 20–35% insurance premium reductions for Class 4 impact-rated installs.
100% Recyclable
Metal roofing contains 25%–95% recycled content and is 100% recyclable at end of life — unlike asphalt, which fills landfills.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Yes — metal costs more upfront ($8–$14/sq ft vs $4–$6/sq ft for asphalt). But over 50 years, asphalt costs 2–3× more when you factor in two replacements, repairs, and higher energy bills. Metal is the cheaper option over any realistic ownership horizon.
Modern metal roofing is installed over solid decking and insulation — it’s no louder than asphalt in real-world conditions. Independent studies show decibel levels inside during rain are identical between properly installed metal and asphalt shingle roofs.
No. Lightning strikes the highest point in an area, regardless of material. Metal is actually safer because it’s non-combustible — if struck, it disperses electrical charge without catching fire. That’s why metal roofs carry a Class A fire rating.
Modern metal roofing comes in dozens of styles — including panels that mimic traditional asphalt shingles, wood shake, and slate. Most neighbors won’t know it’s metal until they ask why your house looks so good a decade later.
Metal roofs carry the highest hail resistance rating (Class 4) from Underwriters Laboratories (UL 2218). This is the same rating that qualifies homeowners for 20–35% discounts on homeowner’s insurance in most states. Asphalt shingles crack and bruise from hail — metal does not.
Metal roofs last 40–70 years with minimal maintenance. Most come with a 50-year material warranty. Compare that to asphalt shingles, which last 15–17 years on average — meaning you’ll replace asphalt two to three times over the life of a single metal roof.
Metal roofing typically costs $8–$14 per square foot installed — roughly $18,000–$32,000 for an average 2,000 sq ft home. Premium standing-seam panels run higher. Prices vary significantly by region, roof complexity, and material grade. The best way to know your number is to get 3 quotes from certified local contractors — it’s free and takes 5 minutes.
Yes — significantly. Metal roofing with a cool-roof PVDF coating reflects up to 70% of solar heat, reducing air conditioning demand by 25–40% compared to dark asphalt shingles. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory found metal roofs can cut annual energy costs by $250–$500 per year for the average home — over $6,500 in savings across a 15-year period.
