• FAQs

• Does a metal roof make my home hotter in the summer?

  Will my roof be too noisy when it rains?

  Not at all! With proper insulation and underlayment, a metal roof is as quiet as any other roof type. No loud drumming — only the gentle sound of rain, provided anything!

  Do metal roofs rust or corrode through the years?

  Newer metal roofs are designed for longevity! With rust-resistant coatings and modern materials — such as aluminum and galvanized steel — they can survive decades in the elements without corrosion.

  Is metal roofing cost prohibitive?
