Frequently Asked Questions about Metal Roofs

What is the biggest problem with metal roofs?

If water accumulates anywhere on the roof because of poor-quality installation or repair, it can eventually cause serious damage. Low-grade metals may also be thinner gauge and less durable. Some metals rust in certain climates or dent more easily than others during hailstorms or installation.

Is it cheaper to put a metal roof or shingles?

Not only do the metal panels themselves cost more than asphalt shingles, but a metal roof also requires more skill and labor to install. You can actually expect the cost of a metal roof to be about 25% higher than the cost of an asphalt shingle roof.

Does a metal roof devalue a house?

Increased Home Resale Value

A metal roof can improve a home’s resale value by up to 6% compared to a home with an asphalt-shingle roof. Additionally, a report by Remodeling magazine shows a metal roof has a 61% return on investment.

Is metal roof worth the money?

The results of the study showed that metal roofs renovated with standing seam metal roofing recoup 85% to 95% of the costs. These gains in resale value amount to 1% to 6%, respectively, over homes roofed with asphalt shingles.

Why are metal roofs not popular?

They’re Expensive (initially)

The price for a regular asphalt shingle roof is approximately $4.50 per square foot. The cost to install a metal roof, however, can be anywhere between $6 and $9. The price varies widely based on which metal roofing material you choose, of course.

Does a metal roof make a house hotter?

Metal roofs do not make a house hotter than any other kind of roofing material. In fact, they can actually help to keep the home cooler during the summer months. Metal roofing is one of the most energy efficient materials available to homeowners and can help lower the energy used to cool off your house.

Is it OK to put a metal roof over shingles?

In almost every case, the answer is yes, you can lay down a new metal roof over an existing shingle roof. This is one of the many reasons metal roofs keep growing in popularity – their installation doesn’t require completely tearing off the existing roof, which is a time-consuming and expensive job.

Are metal roofs noisy when raining?

When a metal roof is installed, it comes with strong sheathing that goes between the metal roof and your existing roofing surface. Because of this, metal roofs can effectively reduce noises from rain, hail, windblown debris, and other extreme weather conditions much better than other roofing materials.

Do metal roofs affect WIFI?

To wrap it up, metal roofing has no effect on Wi-Fi that is provided via a dish or satellite setup. If you live in an area with a great phone signal, your roof shouldn’t impact that, either! However, a metal roof may somewhat interfere with calls and messaging in a poor-signal area.

Does a metal roof make your house colder in winter?

Metal Roofs Keep Your Home Warm in The Cold Weather

Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. According to a study completed by the US Department of Energy, the surface of your metal roof will stay within five degrees of the average asphalt shingle roof, even during the coldest weather.

In early February we had a small leak that increased quickly, leaking down to the main floor through the above apartment. Greg with Q builders was the only answer/return call we received when in need of emergency repairs. Because of the deep snow much time was needed to melt/dig down to find the main issue. Greg and his team continuously communicated with us during the process and were committed to finding the main issue (after solving another one in the process). Moving forward we will only work with Q Builders. As we know their are committed to their customers and do excellent long lasting work. Thank you Q Builders!

Our cafés rear entrance, wall and door was letting in cold air like a sieve. Greg stopped in and gave us a quick estimate. We accepted and he and his partner did the work as we expected. We cannot believe the difference and we're quite sure our utility bill will reflect the improvements. Not only was it good work for a fair price, but we had an invoice in our email Box before they even left the building! And we've asked them to come back and fix other things at our gift store!!
