Is Metal Roof Better Than Shingle Roofs?

A metal roof is far more durable and hard-wearing when compared to Asphalt shingles, and can easily last 2-3 times more that regular Asphalt shingles and tiles. In the event of a hail, tornado blast or strong wind, metal roofs are able to withstand the extremes of nature, which other conventional roofs don’t. Initially, metal (copper) roofs are costly to install, but once installed, it can last for years without requiring any major maintenance or repair work. It is a one-time investment to make. Therefore, we at Turner Home Remodeling always suggest our customer to go ahead with installing a metal roof, as it pays off well and gives you the peace of mind required. Just paint it once or twice in a year, and it can well last for more than a generation to come. This is not the case with shingles roofs, as it can easily get damaged due to a hail storm, get uprooted, suffer water damage and the weathering process is faster. After some years, the shingles tend to ‘curl’ and ‘cup’ from its edges and the Asphalt granules fall off from the surface. It required regular and heavy maintenance, as compared to metal roofs. Here, you can contact us and ask for FREE quotes regarding a metal roof installation by replacing your tiles or shingles roof. We first inspect and thereafter carry out the new installation.

For example, composition shingles can last anywhere between 12-20 years, Asphalt shingles between 15-20 years and wooden shingles can last for 25-30 years. Based upon these manufacturer’s warranty & longevity, you can plan for a partial or full replacement of your roof. The life of the roofing materials also depends on the weather conditions in which you reside. In California, there are few instances of snowfall or hailstorm in scattered areas. Otherwise the weather is pretty much OK throughout the year with plenty of sunshine

and clear sky, except for a few gloomy and rainy days. In such a case, the roof is bound to last longer than average. In other states, roofs require replacement before time because of the climatic condition. If you’re having an Asphalt shingle roof, it can well go beyond the 20 year lifespan, with little maintenance and repair and the slate ones last a bit longer than shingles and tiles.
