The most common type of roof for residential spaces has long been the shingle roof, but metal roofs are becoming increasingly popular for homeowners looking to benefit from their increased durability and lower maintenance. We are happy to answer any questions you have about metal roofing if you’re considering this roof material. Here are three of the most common questions we get about metal roofs and their answers.
- How much does metal roofing cost? The cost of a metal roofing installation will depend on several different factors, including the size of the roof and how much of a slope there is. Metal roofs do have a higher upfront cost than shingle roofs, but you’ll save on the roofing repairs that are more common with shingles.
- Do metal roofs have to be gray? Like shingle roofs, metal roofs come in a wide range of colors and designs. When people think of metal, they typically think of the color gray or silver, but you have many different options with metal roofing that are perfect for all aesthetic preferences.
- Does rain sound louder on a metal roof? The idea that rain sounds louder on metal roofs is actually a myth. While corrugated metal on a barn might sound loud, the layers of underlayment and insulation on a home roof means that rain won’t sound any more intense on a metal roof than it would on a shingle roof.
