Metal vs Asphalt

Metal roofs cost roughly 2-3x more upfront but last 2-3x longer. Over a 50-year period, metal often costs less due to zero mid-life replacements.

Installation Process

Crews install synthetic underlayment, then fasten panels from eave to ridge. Standing seam panels use concealed clips for a clean look and better weather resistance.
