Metal Roofing: The Pros and the Cons 

These days, it seems like metal roofing is all the rage. While asphalt shingles are still the most popular roofing material in the U.S., metal roofing is gaining momentum every year. The area with the fastest growing market share is (you guessed it) right here in the East South Central United States, which includes the following states: Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee. According to modernize, 30 percent of homes in this area are getting metal roof replacements. 

If you’re a homeowner living in Kentucky or Tennessee, you might be wondering, What are the pros and cons of a metal roof on my home?

Pros:

  1. Metal roofs last longer on average than asphalt shingle roofs: 30-50+ years.
  2. Metal roofs are 100% recyclable. They won’t pile up by the ton in landfills.
  3. Metal roofs do well with the heat of southern summers. They deflect heat away from the building and are fire-resistant.
  4. Metal roofs are more weather-resistant because of their interlocking panels. With the kind of storms we get here, that’s a plus.
  5. A metal roof can add to your home’s resale value.

Cons:

  1. The upfront cost of a metal roof is high. But, because of its long lifespan, a metal roof may actually be more economical than a shingle roof in the longterm.
  2. Metal roofs can rust, making them less ideal for homes near saltwater.
  3. Metal roofs can be loud during high storms, so if you are not soothed by rain on a roof, then maybe a metal roof isn’t for you.
  4. Metal roofs may also show cosmetic damage like dents and dings after hailstorms. These dents will not lead to leaks, but the roof’s appearance may be altered.
