Are metal roofs any good? I know they are very expensive.?

They are supposed to last a lifetime, but why pay for something I won't be around long enough to care.



Usually your biggest investment is in your home. By purchasing a metal roof, you're increasing the value of that investment.





Metal roofing is not subject to many of the issues that shingle roofing materials are such as curling, cracking and the darn fungus that makes the black streaks on the roof.





I don't know about them lasting a lifetime, that might be pushing it but I do know they last much longer than standard shingles with next to no maintenance. Everyone I know that has had one installed is totally thrilled with them and report that their homes are warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Seriously considering one here!




Practically everyone I've known that has replaced a roof in the last 10 years has gone with a metal roof. We live in an area that is prone to hail storms and while hail can damage a metal roof, it's not damaged as easily and certainly doesn't need to be replaced every couple of years due to hail damage. It's pricey, but well worth it in most cases.




yes, they are good. it will last longer than 20-30 yr. shingles. you get what you want to pay for.
