Factors to Consider – Roof Repair or Replacement
There are many factors to consider when comparing a metal roof vs. shingles, cost being one of the main factors. Metal roof systems are permanent replacements (or in many cases, the metal roofs are installed over an existing roof) for traditional asphalt shingle and wood frame roofing. Some of the cost factors to consider include:
“¢ Asphalt shingle roofs are less expensive than metal roofs
“¢ Asphalt roofs need shingles replaced periodically
“¢ Asphalt shingles and wood frame roofs usually require a complete replacement within 20 years due to natural deterioration
“¢ Metal roofing systems are permanent and will last at least 100 years
“¢ The initial cost of metal roofing and labor is always higher than with a shingle roof, but that is quickly offset when you consider that you don’t have to replace parts of the roof every few years, or the entire roof every couple of decades
“¢ Usually, metal roofs are installed over existing roofs (the state of the current roof and local ordinances are the two main factors in whether a metal roof can be installed over your traditional asphalt roof)
“¢ Metal roofs can withstand high winds (hurricane level winds) and easily withstand up to 1″ hail, and the roofs are designed to be leak-proof – all of this means you do not have the occasional repair costs associated with shingle roofs
