Metal Roofing FAQs
No — modern metal roofing installed over solid decking with proper underlayment is no louder than asphalt shingles during rain. The solid wood deck, underlayment, and attic insulation absorb sound effectively.
Metal roofing typically costs 2–3x more upfront than architectural shingles. However, when you factor in the 50+ year lifespan, minimal maintenance, energy savings, and increased home value, the lifetime cost is often lower than replacing shingles every 20–25 years.
In some cases, yes. However, we generally recommend a full tear-off to inspect the decking for damage and ensure proper underlayment installation. This gives you the best long-term performance and maintains manufacturer warranty requirements.
No — metal roofing does not increase the risk of a lightning strike. Metal is non-combustible, so in the rare event of a strike, a metal roof is actually safer than combustible roofing materials.
We install standing seam metal roofing systems and KasselShake synthetic shake metal shingles. KasselShake offers the beautiful appearance of natural cedar shake with the durability of steel — available in colors like Beech, Mahogany, Maple, Teak, and more.
