Why homeowners choose a metal roof

A quality metal roof commonly lasts 40 to 70 years, far longer than most asphalt shingle systems. Metal sheds rain and debris well, holds up in high winds when properly installed, resists rot and insects, and can carry a Class A fire rating as part of a tested assembly. Reflective coatings can also reduce heat gain in summer, and most metal roofing is recyclable at the end of its life.

Types of metal roofing

Standing seam panels have raised seams with concealed fasteners, which gives a clean look and fewer exposed penetrations. It is the premium option. Exposed-fastener panels cost less and are common on barns, shops, and many homes, but the screws and washers need periodic checking. Metal shingles and shakes give the look of traditional roofing with the durability of metal.

The most common metals are coated steel and aluminum. Copper and zinc are specialty options with a much higher price and a distinctive finish.

Things to weigh before you decide

Metal costs more up front than shingles, though the longer lifespan can offset that over time. Rain noise is usually minimal over solid decking with underlayment. Hail can dent thinner metal, which is often cosmetic, and heavier gauges and impact-rated products resist it better. Some insurers offer discounts for impact-resistant roofing, so ask yours.

Installation quality matters as much as the panels. Metal expands and contracts with temperature, and flashing details at walls, valleys, chimneys, and skylights must be done correctly. Ask any contractor how they handle these details.

Frequently asked questions

Does a metal roof attract lightning?

No. A metal roof does not make a building more likely to be struck. If lightning does strike, metal is non-combustible and disperses the energy.

Can metal be installed over existing shingles?

Sometimes, depending on local code and the condition of the existing roof and decking. A full tear-off is often recommended if there is any decking damage.

Is a metal roof much louder in the rain?

Not typically. Over solid decking with underlayment, most homeowners find it no louder than a shingle roof.
