1. How much metal roof costs?

A metal roof is a premium home product, so it’s fair to assume that its cost will be on average two times higher than an asphalt shingle roof. It’s an investment in your home and one that pays off over time. Like all investments you pay more on the front end and retain value over the long term. No matter what type of metal roof you choose to install, you’ll never have to worry about getting it repaired very often and they stand up to extreme weather.

2. Can A Metal Roof Be Installed Over My Old One?

The answer to this is YES! If you only have one layer of roofing on your home, an average metal roofing would weigh less than 1.6 pounds per sq foot. Normally, it does not overload existing roofs. Metal roofing is often installed right over fiberglass and asphalt roofing. Your existing roof might actually serve as an additional layer of insulation for the roof.

3. How Long Will My Metal Roof Last?

A metal roof lasts 2 to 3 times longer than an asphalt shingle roof and could last 30 to 50 years for you. To put things better into perspective, the average lifespan of an asphalt roof is 12 to 20 years, which could also be shorter depending on the climate in your area and your roof’s pitch.

4. Is A Metal Roof Environmentally Friendly?

Yes, a metal roof is not just the best roof option for your home, but it is also eco-friendly. Did you know? More than 20 billion pounds of asphalt shingles are dumped into landfills every year in the US. That’s a lot of waste of asphalt, which is not very eco-friendly, to begin with. Shingle roofs are made of disposable materials and start to disintegrate the moment they are installed. They eventually end up in a landfill. Metal roofing material can be recycled or even re-purposed after the lifespan of the roof.
