Can Metal Roofing be installed over my old roof?
Yes! Metal roofing weighs less than 1.6 pounds per square
foot, depending on the gauge. It will not normally over load
existing roofs. Metal roofing can usually be installed right over
asphalt or fiberglass roofing.
Will Metal Roofing improve the looks of my home?
Metal roofing offers a wide variety of panel profiles to
choose from. Nearly any design appearance can be achieved when using
metal. If you desire a bold looking roof, a high slim rib panel
which crates interesting shadow lines, or a low profile design,
metal affords you a wide choice.
What about noise?
Usually, metal roofing is installed over plywood and felt
or an existing roof. Therefore, the sound generated by rain or hail
would be similar to other roofing materials. The myth of a noisy
steel roof comes from barns that were built with steel roofing
installed on open framing and with no insulation.
Does Metal Roofing cost more than conventional roofing?
Every type of roofing material offers many levels of
quality. Initially, metal roofing may cost more than some levels of
other roofing types. However, the life cycle costs of metal roofing
are substantially lower than other forms of roofing. The decision to
use metal is usually based upon the fact that the homeowner
doesn’t want to or can’t afford to replace their conventional
roof every 8 to 12 years. Mid Ohio metal roofing will provide many years
of low maintenance service.
