What Is Metal Roofing?
Metal roofing systems can be made from steel, aluminum, copper, or zinc, and they come in a variety of styles—such as standing seam panels or metal shingles—that suit both modern and traditional homes.
Longevity & Durability
Metal roofs can last 40–70 years with proper maintenance, far outlasting asphalt shingles. They resist high winds, won’t crack or warp, and are fire-resistant—making them a smart choice for long-term protection.
Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings
Metal reflects sunlight, helping keep homes cooler in summer and reducing air conditioning costs. In winter, a properly insulated and vented metal roof helps retain warmth.
Eco-Friendly Benefits
Most metal roofing materials contain recycled content and can be fully recycled at the end of their lifespan, reducing landfill waste.
Aesthetic Flexibility
Metal roofing offers a wide variety of colors and finishes, including options that mimic slate, wood shake, or tile for enhanced curb appeal.
Cost Comparison
While installation costs can be higher than asphalt, the long-term value is substantial. Reduced maintenance and extended lifespan often make metal the more cost-effective choice over time.
Local Considerations
In New England, metal’s snow-shedding ability and resistance to freeze-thaw damage make it a perfect fit.
