Q: Will my home be hotter with a metal roof?
A: No. While there’s a common misconception that metal roofing retains sunlight and transfers heat throughout your home, this is incorrect. Metal roofing not only reflects sunlight, it absorbs heat at the same rate of any other common roofing material.
Q: How long will my metal roof last?
A: According to most insurance companies and roofing experts, metal roofing can last anywhere from 40-70 years. This range depends on the climate you live in, weather, and how well you maintain your roofing.
Q: Would the rain be louder?
A: It depends on installation. If your metal roofing is properly installed, then rain will be no louder than it already is with traditional roofing. However, if your contractor doesn’t properly install your roof, rain and hailstorms can be up to 50 decibels louder.
