Did you know metal is one of the most durable roofing materials you can use for your home or business? Still, a recent study showed homeowners seldom make metal their roofing choice. We’ll address three common metal roof myths in Seattle.

Metal Roof Myth #1: They’re Not Compatible With Most Homes

Many homeowners believe metal roofs only come in silver. They’re actually available in a gamut of colors and surface textures, making them suitable for contemporary, colonial, Victorian, and cottage-style homes. Additionally, most metals are rated as “cool” by EnergyStar, which means they help reduce cooling costs. Installing a metal roof could even qualify you for a federal tax credit.

#2: They’re Noisy

Some believe metal roofs would be noisier than asphalt roofs in rain, hail and wind storms. Metal is actually quieter than asphalt shingles because it contains solid sheathing beneath the underlayment, which minimizes the noise from rain, hail and wind.

#3: They’re Expensive

While it’s true that the initial installment of metal roofing tends to cost more than shingles, it’s a much better long-term investment, with an average lifespan of 40-60 years. Asphalt shingles last between 12-20 years. This means metal roofing lasts three to four times longer than shingle roofing.
