What type of metal roofing project do you need?

Standing seam metal roofing costs $10–$16 per square foot installed, or $15,000–$35,000 for a typical home. Metal shingles cost $8–$14/sq ft. Corrugated metal panels are the most affordable at $5–$10/sq ft. Material type (steel, aluminum, copper, zinc) significantly affects pricing.

Steel roofing lasts 40–70 years. Aluminum lasts 50–75+ years (no rust). Copper and zinc can last 100+ years. Compared to asphalt shingles at 20–30 years, a metal roof may be the last roof you ever install. Most metal roofing carries a 40–50 year manufacturer warranty.

Over its lifetime, yes. A metal roof costs 2–3x more than asphalt but lasts 2–3x longer with minimal maintenance. Metal reflects solar heat (reducing cooling costs 10–25%), resists wind up to 140 mph, and is Class A fire-rated. It also increases resale value by 1–6%.

Modern metal roofs installed over solid decking and underlayment are no louder than asphalt shingles in rain. The noise myth comes from old barn-style metal on open rafters. With proper insulation and a solid roof deck, you won’t notice a difference during rainstorms.
