Metal VS Asphalt Shingles | What's Better for Your Roof? | Pro Exteriors & Construction

Metal or asphalt shingles? Which one do you need for your roof? At Pro Exteriors, we’re here to help you determine if you may need a metal roof. Simply put: metal roofs are more expensive, which is why asphalt shingles are more popular, but there is a widespread industry belief that metal roofs are much more durable. A few positives to the metal roofs: 1. Snow slides off them very easily, meaning they won’t cause excess weight to stick to your roof during the colder months 2. The metal withstands wind very well 3. Leaks don’t happen 4. They’re energy-efficient. Conversely, there are a few things to consider with the metal roofs: 1. They’re more expensive, especially up front because of all the labor costs associated with installing a metal roof 2. Some neighborhoods don’t allow metal roofs because they mess with the city or county codes. This is especially true in historic neighborhoods. 3. The metal can be noisy, especially during rainstorms or if particles fall onto the roof. Oh, and don’t forget those pesky squirrels that run around and make all that noise! 4. Some insurance companies specifically demarcate in their policies that they don’t cover metal roofs, so always be sure to check with your insurance company before pulling the trigger on a metal roof. Deciding on metal or asphalt shingles for your roof can be a headache. Most of our customers choose asphalt shingles because it is cheaper. At Pro Exteriors, we install Malarkey brand asphalt shingles. These shingles are so good, we never have people exercising their warranties and asking for replacements. If you want to upgrade to a metal roof, note that while these types of roofs are more expensive, they outdo asphalt shingles in categories like: value, weight, extreme weather resistance, longevity, ease of install, and retaining heat. Once again, decide which type of shingles best serves your home and your budget. ******************************************************************************************************* Who We Are: We Are Pro Exteriors & Construction Pro Exteriors was started in the spring of 2010.
