Metal Roofing
Protect and extend the life of your metal roof in Tucson’s harsh climate.
How long does a metal roof last?
A properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years, depending on the material and maintenance.
Compared to traditional asphalt shingles (20–30 years), metal roofing offers significantly greater longevity. Many systems also come with extended manufacturer warranties, adding extra peace of mind.
Is metal roofing more expensive than asphalt shingles?
Metal roofing can have a higher upfront cost. However, it often costs less over time due to:
Longer lifespan
Minimal maintenance
Lower energy bills
Fewer replacements
While asphalt shingles may need replacement 2–3 times over 50 years, a single metal roof installation can last that entire period.

Is a metal roof noisy when it rains?
No. When installed with proper underlayment and insulation, metal roofing is not significantly louder than asphalt shingles.
The decking, insulation, and attic space absorb most sound. Many homeowners report little to no noticeable difference
Does metal roofing attract lightning?
No. Metal roofing does not increase the likelihood of a lightning strike.
Metal is non-combustible and can actually reduce fire risk. If lightning does strike, metal safely disperses the energy rather than igniting.
Is metal roofing energy efficient?
Yes. Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, which can reduce cooling costs by 10–25% in warm climates. Benefits include:
Reflective coatings
Improved attic ventilation
Lower HVAC strain
Better temperature regulation
Energy-efficient metal roofing may also qualify for tax incentives in some regions.
What types of metal roofing are available?
Common types include:
Standing seam metal roofing – sleek vertical panels with hidden fasteners
Metal shingles – designed to resemble slate, tile, or wood
Corrugated metal panels – durable and cost-effective
Each style offers unique aesthetic and performance benefits.
Will a metal roof rust?
Modern metal roofing is coated with protective finishes such as galvanized or Galvalume coatings.
These protective layers prevent corrosion and rust when properly installed. Routine inspections help ensure coatings remain intact.
Can a metal roof be installed over existing shingles?
In many cases, yes.
Installing metal roofing over existing shingles can:
Reduce tear-off costs
Minimize landfill waste
Speed up installation
However, a professional inspection is necessary to confirm that the roof deck is structurally sound before proceeding, and our team will install a protective barrier between the shingles and metal roofing to provide a sturdy, even base for covering.
Is metal roofing good for severe weather?
Metal roofs perform exceptionally well in extreme weather conditions.
They are:
Wind-resistant (often rated up to 140 mph or more)
Impact-resistant against hail
Fire-resistant
Snow-shedding due to smooth surfaces
This makes metal roofing a strong choice in storm-prone areas.
How much maintenance does a metal roof require?
Metal roofing requires minimal maintenance compared to other materials. Recommended upkeep includes:
Annual inspections
Clearing debris from valleys
Checking fasteners and flashing
Ensuring sealants remain intact
With proper care, metal roofing systems maintain structural integrity and appearance for decades.
Does metal roofing increase home value?
Yes, a metal roof can often increase resale value due to:
Longevity
Energy efficiency
Modern appearance
Reduced maintenance costs
Therefore, buyers often view metal roofing as a premium upgrade.
Is metal roofing environmentally friendly?
Metal roofs are highly sustainable because:
They often contain recycled materials
They are made of recyclable material
They reduce energy consumption
They last significantly longer than asphalt shingles
Choosing metal roofing reduces landfill waste and supports long-term sustainability.
