WHY METAL ROOFING IS T YPICALLY MORE EXPENSIVE You Get What You Pay For
EXPERTISE Metal roofing requires a very specific installation process. This specialized skill set is difficult to find, and therefore it’s more expensive. Without proper installation, the benefits of metal roofs are completely nullified. With just one leak, the entire roof could be compromised. LONGEVITY Metal roofs last significantly longer than roofs made with other materials. This means that sales of the product are significantly less frequent. As with most products that have longer sales cycles, the cost is generally higher. When push comes to shove, you’re typically going to pay more for a metal roof. But as is the case with most major investments, you truly get what you pay for with our product. Metal roofing may be more expensive to install, but it is significantly more cost-effective over the long run. Although it may cost more upfront, you will make up for it in energy costs, durability, color choices, weather protection, maintenance costs, fire resistance, and a higher return on investment for your home. Don’t let the upfront costs deter you from the bona fide long-term value of metal roofing.
Fact: Metal roofing is more expensive than most other types of roofing. This isn’t a secret that we are trying to hide. Unfortunately, many potential customers are deterred from metal because of this, and they opt for more traditional shingles. While making a decision about your roofing material is completely up to you, we thought it important to explain why metal roofs have a higher cost. RAW MATERIALS The raw materials and processes needed to make metal roofing materials are much more specific and elaborate than shingles. Also, most metal roofs are coated, either by galvanization or by a special UV reflector, to enhance durability and functionality.
