Metal roofing questions, answered.

It typically costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but the gap narrows over the life of the roof since metal rarely needs replacement. Exact pricing depends on panel profile, gauge, roof pitch, and project size — send us your specs through the quote form and we'll put together a real number.

A properly installed standing seam metal roof commonly lasts 40 to 70 years, well beyond the 15 to 20 year lifespan of asphalt shingles. Finish and coating quality make the biggest difference in long-term performance.

Not when installed correctly. Standing seam systems go over solid decking with underlayment, which absorbs sound the same way it does under asphalt shingles. The "tin roof" noise people picture comes from older exposed-fastener panels installed without a solid substrate.

Yes. Reflective metal finishes reduce heat absorption compared to dark asphalt shingles, which can lower cooling costs in summer. Some finishes qualify for energy efficiency ratings depending on your region.

In many cases yes — metal roofing can go over a single layer of existing asphalt shingles, which can reduce labor and disposal costs. Local code and roof condition determine whether this is the right approach for a given project.

We manufacture and supply the roofing panels and architectural metal ourselves, rather than reselling someone else's product. We work directly with contractors, architects, and property owners to spec and produce systems in-house, which typically means tighter tolerances and faster lead times.

Both. We supply standing seam systems and architectural metal for single-family homes, multi-family buildings, commercial properties, and industrial facilities across Connecticut and New England. See our industries page for the full list.
