Are Metal Roofs Better Than Shingle Roofs
When it comes to roofing materials, asphalt shingles are still the prevalent option, but metal is rising in popularity with homeowners. Why? Are metal roofs better? Below, we’ve looked at both sides of the argument.
Making the Case for Shingle Roofs
Asphalt shingles have long been the most common residential roofing material, largely due to their appearance and affordability. Shingles come in a variety of colors and textures, and some even resemble wood, which can add unique character to your home. Asphalt shingles are the traditional option for suburban areas, so if you live in the suburbs, choosing them will give your home uniformity with others in your neighborhood. Additionally, shingles are usually more cost-effective than other types of roofing as both the materials and installation tend to cost less.
Making the Case for Metal Roofs
Metal roofs have been used for centuries because of their durability and longevity. The metal is lightweight, water-resistant, and can withstand harsh elements. Because of that, switching to a metal roof can lower your homeowners’ insurance by up to 35%. Such durability is what makes these roofs last 40-70 years, as opposed to the 15-20 years that standard asphalt shingles last. Metal roofing materials also come in a wide variety of colors and styles, allowing you enough options to find a look to complement your home’s exterior. Metal roofs usually yield a higher return on your investment than asphalt roofs as their energy efficiency, longevity, and weather-resistance are all big draws to buyers. Plus, metal roofs are typically made from recyclable materials, making them a more eco-friendly option.

We recently had our home remodeled by the team at Frey Construction. The entire Frey team was professional, experienced, courteous and patient. The final result was exactly how we had envisioned. If we have other home remodeling projects in the future, we would certainly not hesitate to call Frey Construction again.
I am very pleased with Frey Construction. They replaced my roof and gutters. The workers were fast and efficient, and they were always courteous and professional. The office staff was patient and helpful and I appreciated all the time they spent to answer my questions. The quality of work is exceptional and they exceeded my expectations with the clean up afterwards. I highly recommend them!
Frey has done a lot of work for us and the quality is always great. My favorite thing about them is that they are extremely responsive and professional with great customer service. We've previously worked with them on siding and gutters. Most recently I had some windows replaced. They were very helpful and assisted in removing a wall-mounted shelf, which I consider an above and beyond service.
