Common types include standing seam panels, corrugated metal, and metal shingles. Aluminum and galvanized steel are most widely used, while copper and zinc offer premium durability and aesthetics.
Most metal roofs last 40 to 70 years, far longer than traditional asphalt shingles, which average 15 to 30 years.
Metal roofs are more expensive upfront but offer better durability, energy savings, and lower lifetime maintenance. Asphalt is cheaper and easier to install but requires more frequent replacement.
Yes — many contractors near you offer repairs, rust protection, and performance-enhancing coatings for metal roofs.
Homes in coastal areas may benefit from aluminum (rust-resistant), while inland or snowy regions may prefer steel with a snow-shedding design. A local contractor can guide you based on climate and roof slope.
Metal roofing offers a strong return on investment (ROI) through several factors:
- Increased resale value: Studies show an ROI of up to 85.9% on your home’s resale value with a metal roof. This translates to potentially recouping a large portion of the installation cost when you sell.
- Lower maintenance costs: Metal roofs boast extended lifespans (30-50 years) and exceptional durability against harsh weather like snow, hail, and even fire. Compared to materials like asphalt shingles, which require more frequent repairs or replacements, metal roofs offer significant long-term savings on maintenance.
- Reduced insurance rates: The fire resistance of metal roofs can lead to lower insurance premiums, especially in areas prone to wildfires.
The combination of a longer lifespan, lower maintenance needs, and potential insurance savings can significantly outweigh the upfront investment in metal roofing compared to other roofing materials.
