Metal Roofing vs Shingle Roofing in 2023
Asphalt shingle roofing continues to be the go-to roofing material for Medina area roofs as well as the surrounding communities. Properly installed with the high-quality materials used by Total Exterior technicians, your asphalt shingle roof will give you many years of service for an excellent price.
Metal roofing continues to grow among consumers who value its durable, long-lasting features and the eco-friendly solutions it provides in the effort to combat climate change. Metal roofing has nearly twice the life span of shingles and the materials are 100% recyclable once they do reach the end of their life.
Consider the following when choosing a new roof in Medina, Ohio
- How long your roof must last — The life of a shingle roof is about 25 years, while a metal roof can last 40 years or more. If you are staying in your home or business location more than 20 years and prefer to not replace your roof again, a metal roof may be worth the investment.
- Weather conditions and natural disasters — Roofs in the Wadsworth and Medina area can be subjected to intense storms, heavy snow, high winds, lightning, and tornadoes as well as extreme cold and extreme heat. Our experts help you choose the right type of roof and proper roof installation to ensure your new roof will withstand these conditions.
- Matching the style of roof to your home or business — There are many options in color and style for both shingle and metal roofing, making it much easier to consider the overall look of your home or business and use roofing materials to enhance your preferences.
- Protecting the environment — Every time an old shingle roof is removed the debris is added to a landfill. Conversely, metal roofs last much longer and the materials used are 100% recyclable, making metal roofing a great way to go green.
- Your roofing budget — If you have limited immediate funding for a roof, a shingle roof will cost less for materials and installation. However, if you can make a larger investment up front and intend to stay in your location at least 20 years, a more costly metal roof will likely save you more in longevity and utility bills.
