Should You Upgrade to a Metal Roof?

If your roof needs multiple repairs, or if you have looked at replacing it altogether, you might consider upgrading it to a metal roof. A metal roof can add curb appeal to a home with its unique, modern look, and is often sought after for its durability. A traditional roof often lasts anywhere from 10 to 20 years while a metal roof can last upwards of 40 to 50 years. We often see metal roofs installed correctly, so be sure to contact Cook Roofing Company at 417-815-6725 to be sure your roof is done right the first time.

Why Would You Want to Upgrade to Metal Roofing?

One of the top reasons people choose metal roofing is for longevity. The useful lifecycle of metal roofing materials is much longer than asphalt shingles. A metal roof will last 50-75 years when properly installed, and require very little maintenance.Using Kynar or Hylar finishes helps protect against chalking and color fading over the metal roof’s lifetime.

Even though the initial cost of a standing seam metal roof is generally more than the cost of an asphalt shingle roof, metal roofs are usually a “once-in-a-lifetime” purchase. Compare this to the 12-20 years life expectancy of a typical asphalt roof.

Are Metal Roofs More Expensive Than Shingle Roofs?

While a shingle roof may cost less upfront, the long-life and durability of a metal roof can save money in the long run. A standing seam metal roof, for example, can cost two to three times the amount of a traditional shingle roof, but can last anywhere from 40-60 years. If you plan on staying in your current home long enough a metal roof will likely benefit you, although when you do sell your home the addition of a metal roof should make your home value go up.

FAQ

Can I install metal roofing myself, or should I hire roofing experts?
Well, some homeowners (DIY enthusiasts) may feel confident installing metal roofs themselves. However, we recommend that you hire a certified roofing expert to do the installation for you since they have the right tools for the job and experience. Roofing experts will also know the right design to use, and the right roof type your home needs based on your location. Therefore, it is best you leave the work of installing a metal roof to the experts.
Does it cost more to buy and install a metal roof than a typical roof?
Yes. Metal roofing is considered a premium material, and thus you should expect it to cost more than an asphalt shingle roof. However, in the long-run, it becomes cheaper since it lasts for decades. In addition, your new metal roof will add your home’s resale value and help you save on your energy bills thanks to its reflective effect, which makes it less absorbent of heat.
Can one walk on a metal roof?
If installed by roofing experts, most metal panel systems can support your weight when walking on them. However, as with any other roofing system, you have to be careful not to cause damage to your roof due to abrasion. And if you don’t pay particular attention, you can dent the ribs in some roofs by stepping on them.
