Q: What are the advantages to having a metal roof as opposed to shingles?

A: Metal roofing is a much better overall investment - it is longer lasting, durable and more weather-resistant (no warping, cracking, or peeling) and it does not burn and is impervious to termites and pests.

Q: Aren't metal roofs noisy?

A: The noise generated by a metal roof that is properly installed over a roof deck and insulation is no greater than that of a shingle system.

Q: Will the look of a metal roof fit into my neighborhood or community?

A: There are colors and profiles available that blend in with existing environments.

Q: How well do metal roofing systems stand up to the elements??

A: Properly installed metal roofing will withstand inclement weather (high winds, hail, snow, and rain) better than any other roofing material. Metal easily sheds snow and ice and does not absorb water which can lead to cracking and rotting in the freeze-thaw cycling in other materials.

Q: What about lightning?

A: With proper installation, the probabilities of a strike to a metal roofed structure are no more or less than any other kind of structure, as these probabilities have to do with height and size of the structure and its surroundings, rather than its construction materials.
