How we calculate this Estimates are based on real contractor pricing data from verified GoMetalRoofs dealers. Pricing reflects fully-installed costs including labor, materials, and standard permitting. Energy savings assume a $100/month reduction switching from asphalt shingle to metal, with 2.9% annual electricity inflation. The 15-year shingle comparison includes a second roof replacement at year 15 with 5% annual roofing cost inflation. Financing payments are estimates — actual rates depend on credit profile and lender terms (LendKey: 8.99% APR / 10-year, Momnt: 11.99% APR / 12-year). Individual results vary by region, roof complexity, accessibility, and contractor. This tool is for budgeting purposes — get a written quote from a verified dealer for an accurate price.
