Seeing more and more metal roofs around the neighborhood? You’re not the only one. What was once an unattainable novelty for the majority has now become a staple in mainstream construction.

Metal Roofs Aren’t As Noisy As You’d Think
Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs aren’t as noisy as you may think! In fact, when a metal roof has been properly installed, it’s no noisier than any other type of roof. This is thanks to the fact that it is normally installed over a solid substrate, with the added sound barrier of the attic and insulation.

One being the benefit of a metal roofs long lifespan. While an asphalt shingle roof will need to be replaced every 20 to 30 years, a metal roof can last anywhere from 50 to 70 – sometimes more! The second is the low maintenance cost associated with a metal roof. Aside from removing debris, there’s not much upkeep involved. The last is a metal roof’s ability to help save on your home’s heating and cooling costs; reducing your heating and cooling costs by 10 to 25 percent.
