A: Contrary to popular belief, metal roofs are not noisy when it rains. In fact, metal roof noise levels are about the same as other products like asphalt shingles, wood shingles, or clay tiles.

A: In most roof applications, a metal roof can be applied directly over the old roof. This saves money and eliminates a great deal of mess. In addition, because there is no old roof to dispose of, landfill space is spared, helping to protect our environment.

A: Grounding of any exterior metal siding or roofing is not recognized as necessary by any major building code organization. Occasionally, certain municipalities or local building codes may require it.

A: Ordinary roofing materials have a shorter life span than metal and will need to be replaced regularly. With constantly increasing material and labor costs, that could mean a significant expense over the life of your home. A metal roof virtually never needs to be replaced, saving you money while adding value to your home.

A: A metal roof won’t dry rot, split, curl, peel, or flake like conventional roofing products. Metal roofing has been successfully used for centuries and they last forever!
