Your metal roof is the investment of a lifetime. It can be hard to understand the true cost of metal roofing systems when compared to asphalt shingles because the end price is higher. However, metal roofing materials will last much longer than an asphalt shingle roof, and so over time, you earn your money back.
In this article, we'll address your concerns about metal roof pricing, and try to help you figure out whether or not a new metal roof is worth it for your home. In most cases, it will be more cost effective for you to choose a metal roof for your home - and we can help you find financing to fit those goals.
It is cheaper upfront to get asphalt shingle roofing. However, metal roofing lasts much longer than asphalt shingle roofs. If you're looking to sell your house, a metal roof is going to be more attractive to buyers than any other type of roofing. Although you do pay upfront in increased costs per square foot, you gain in resale value.
Your metal roofing cost can be made up over decades, not years. An asphalt shingle roof is going to require maintenance, it may begin to grow moss, and shingles may even let loose in strong winds. In comparison, a metal roof is more energy efficient, safer in severe weather events, and requires very little proper maintenance.
The only disadvantage of a metal roof is its upfront cost. Metal roofs tend to be more expensive than a comparable asphalt job. However, putting a metal roof over your existing roof may save you money.
You can only have a few layers of asphalt shingles, but metal is comparatively lightweight and can be placed directly on top. If you have a few layers of asphalt shingles already, then a metal roof might be the perfect solution for you.
Metal roofs are better than asphalt shingle roofs for a number of reasons. They last about three times as long, they're stronger and sturdier, metal is fireproof, and most importantly, it's extremely energy efficient.
Asphalt shingles deteriorate over time (especially in harsh climates like Western New York). In contrast, metal roof installation means that you don't need to worry about your roof, more or less, for the rest of your life. Metal roofing is a lifetime solution for energy efficiency and security.
At Repair N Remodel, we specialize in affordable metal roofing options for our customers. We offer stone coated steel roofing as our primary product. These metal panels (metal shingles) come in multiple styles and colors to mimic architectural roofing products.
We will also occasionally do a standing seam metal roof - but we believe that the product quality and color options in stone coated steel shingles are unmatched. Check out our product line here.
Absolutely not. Metal roofs create a solid surface that is impenetrable to water. Certain types of metal roofing styles don't even require nails or screws, meaning that there's just no way for water to penetrate.
In contrast, we get calls all the time about roof leaks from old or poorly installed asphalt shingles. Most of the time, we can stop the leaking, but in many cases, the damage has already been done. With metal roofing, leaks are generally not an issue at all.
No. Once you compare the lower cost of metal roofing materials to other types of roofing material (like asphalt shingles), you begin to understand its value. To install metal roofing is to bring your house up in the rankings, especially if you'll be listing it for sale soon. Houses with metal roofs sell for more per square foot than houses with outdated shingles.
Homebuyers know that a roof is one of the biggest purchases you'll make. So, knowing that there's a metal roof on the home means that they don't need to worry about those future costs. Installing metal roofing is a great way to stand out from the crowd when you're thinking about selling your home.
Even if you're not looking to sell, metal roofing is a great investment for your home. Metal panels or metal shingle roofs are easy to install and the roofing material is becoming more affordable every day.
Yes, yes, yes. A metal roof will give you a more energy efficient home with reduced cooling costs to boot. Hiring a roofing contractor (like us) to install your metal roof will help you save money and time.
If you need a new roof, you should pay just a little bit extra to replace that old roof with a metal roof. The labor costs are comparable, so you'll just be paying for upgraded materials. You will more than make back your metal roof cost in energy savings, resale value, reduced maintenance, and length of time until replacement.
There's no getting around it: metal roofing will be the largest purchase you make for your home. But your roofing project is affordable with modern financing opportunities.
Residential roofing projects like these are very affordable and have multiple financing opportunities. Traditionally, homeowners have been tied to the equity in their homes. However, there are large project financing options that are very affordable. If you're unsure about whether or not you qualify, you can check out our financing options right here:
