A properly installed standing seam metal roof lasts 50 years or more, compared to 25 to 30 years for GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles. Metal costs more upfront, but on a lifetime basis it often works out ahead, especially if you plan to stay in the home long term.
No, not with a proper installation. The perception that metal roofs are loud comes from open-frame barns and sheds with no solid decking underneath. On a home, metal is installed over solid plywood decking with a synthetic underlayment in between, which absorbs the sound. It is not noticeably louder than a shingle roof in the rain.
The biggest factors are the panel profile you choose (standing seam costs more than exposed fastener), the size and pitch of the roof, the complexity of valleys and penetrations, and any decking repair needed underneath. We break every line item out in a free written estimate so you know exactly what you are paying for before work begins.
Standing seam metal systems carry some of the highest wind ratings available in residential roofing, which is why they are a popular choice along the Cape Fear coast. The concealed-fastener design also means there are no exposed screw heads for wind to work loose over time.
Yes. Coated metal panels reflect more solar heat than asphalt shingles, which can reduce attic heat gain in the summer, a real factor in Wilmington's climate. Combined with correct ridge and soffit ventilation, it helps take some load off your air conditioning.
We generally recommend a full tear-off rather than installing over an existing roof. Removing the old material lets us inspect and repair the decking underneath, which protects the metal roof's warranty and avoids trapping moisture between the two layers. We will give you an honest answer specific to your roof during the free inspection.
