Think Metal Roofing Is More Expensive? Then Read This…

We install the metal roofing Madison, Wisconsin, homeowners depend on, but we also offer asphalt shingle roofs and other popular roofing materials. As such, we’ve noticed an incredibly persistent myth about metal roofs that often causes people to choose inferior products. Namely, the myth that you can’t afford metal roofing, or that it’s always more expensive than other types of residential roofing. Sometimes, this is true in the short term. But if you’re a homeowner, either here in Madison or anywhere in the United States, then metal roofing is often a much more economical choice.

Metal Roofing Madison:
What Homeowners Get Wrong About Metal Roofing Costs

If you own your own home (or plan to, once your mortgage is paid off), then you have to think about home improvement as an investment. And when it comes to residential roofing, the advantages of metal roofing make it a much savvier investment.

Consider this:

1. Claim a Tax Credit for New Metal Roof Installations

2. Metal Shingles Have Driven Down the Cost of Metal Roofing

   First generation metal roofs were more expensive than asphalt shingles, but today our metal roofing contractors install metal shingle roofing. This kind of metal shingle installation can cost up to 40% less than most metal roofs, and also offers the same visual appeal of traditional asphalt shingles.

3. Metal Roofs Last Longer, Much Longer

   If you have a 30-year mortgage, then you will almost definitely have to replace your asphalt shingle roof, which requires reproofing and repairs every 10 to 20 years. In fact, many people take out a loan just to pay for the cost of roof replacement. Metal roofs last about 50 years.

4. Longer Warranty

   Don’t take our word for it that metal roofs last for half a century. Most manufacturers provide a 30- to 50-year warranty, and our Madison metal roofing company offers a lifetime warranty.

5. Better on the Environment

   Every year, traditional roofing materials like asphalt shingles generate 20 billion pounds of landfill waste. On the other hand, metal roofs are made with at least 25% recycled content, and are up to 100% recyclable themselves.

6. Lower Energy Costs

   A metal shingle installation is also better at insulating your home, and can reduce energy costs by 25% when compared to typical asphalt roofs.

7. Reduced Insurance Costs

   Metal roofing is so dependable that some homeowner’s insurance companies will lower costs by up to 35%. That’s because metal roofing offers better protection from the elements, which can have a major impact on home improvement expenses for decades to come.
