Metal wins when

  • This is the house you plan to retire in
  • The roofline is simple, which keeps labour reasonable
  • Your insurer discounts impact-rated roofing
  • You are tired of thinking about the roof at all

Shingle wins when

  • You expect to sell within ten years
  • The neighbourhood is all shingle and resale appearance matters
  • The roof has many valleys, dormers and penetrations
  • The budget is the budget, and that is a fine answer

Metal roofing questions.

Not over a solid deck with underlayment, which is how we install them. The noise people remember is metal over open purlins on a barn.
Large hail can leave cosmetic dents in some profiles. It does not create a leak path, which is the difference that matters.
No. It does not attract strikes, and because it is non-combustible it handles one better than shingle.
