Cost Of Metal Roofing


When building a new home or renovating an existing one, roofing is a subject that may arise. There are various materials that can be used including metal. The cost of metal roofing will vary depending upon what kind of metal you choose and where you buy it from. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $600 per square. A square is not a tile, but rather a bundle of tiles together equaling one hundred square feet. In the realm of square feet, you can expect your metal roofing materials to cost you between $2 and $6 per square foot. These calculations can help you develop the budget for your roofing project.

Compared with asphalt, metal is more expensive. However there are benefits that come along with spending a little more for a high quality material. Metal roofing is incredibly durable. It lasts up to four times longer than asphalt, and requires almost zero maintenance. You can choose between metals like aluminum, copper, tin and stainless steel. Regardless of which type of metal you select it is likely to be fairly lightweight. Lightweight materials mean lower labor costs, which can save you some money. As mentioned before, metal roofing is usually maintenance free unlike asphalt which may require annual upkeep.

Metal tiles can be crafted to look like cedar, stone or even slate. There are tiles made these days by companies like Millennium Tile that have the color built in rather than being painted on. This means the color never fades or flakes. Metal roofing provides excellent protection from the elements and can stand up under the most demanding heat, rain, snow sleet and hail. Unlike asphalt, metal is not susceptible to marring from UV damage. It is also environmentally friendly, whereas asphalt tile is not. For these reasons and more many people are deciding on metal as their roofing material.

To save on the cost of metal roofing, do some comparison shopping. You will find that prices vary widely from manufacturer to manufacturer. In addition, comparing estimates from contractors can save you a substantial amount as well. Like with every product, you will find some metal tiles to be bargain priced and some to be extremely expensive. What you should choose depends on how much money you can afford to spend and which features are most important to you.
