Metal

Forty years, one roof.

A standing seam metal roof costs about twice what shingles do and lasts roughly twice as long. In hail country, there are trade-offs worth knowing.

The trade-offs.

Strength

Wind

Concealed-fastener standing seam handles high wind well, with no exposed screws to back out.

Trade-off

Hail dents

Big hail can dent metal. Dents are usually cosmetic, and many policies exclude cosmetic damage, so read yours.

Lifespan

Decades

With a good finish, 40 years or more. It’s the last roof many owners buy.
