When compared to asphalt shingles, metal roofs outperform in almost\nevery category:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Life\nexpectancy: 40 to 70+ years, up to 7 times longer than asphalt shingles<\/li><li>Curb\nappeal: sleek style with more colour, shade and texture choices<\/li><li>Climate\nproof: stronger against wind, ice, snow and blazing summer sun<\/li><li>Fire\nresistance: Class A ratings contain fires and minimize structural damage<\/li><li>Increased\nhome value: Property and resale value is significantly higher<\/li><li>Energy-efficiency:\nhigher insulation R value reduces monthly heating and cooling bills<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the overwhelming advantages of\ninstalling a metal roof, the elephant in the room must be addressed: cost.\nHomeowners are understandably concerned about the upfront expense of metal\nroofs and are often reluctant to even consider the option of replacing their\nasphalt shingles with metal when it comes time for a new roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Ottawa\u2019s renovation and roofing\nspecialists, we\u2019re often asked, \u201ccan I really afford a metal roof?\u201d We\u2019d like\nto spin the question and ask, \u201ccan you really afford NOT to install a metal\nroof?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading, and we\u2019ll explain the\nrationale behind our belief that metal roofs are cheaper in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seeing past the sticker shock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no way around it. The initial cost\nof installing a metal roof will come with a price tag that is two to three\ntimes higher than doing the job with asphalt shingles. Homeowners can expect to\npay between $6.00 \u2013 $20.00 per square foot for metal roofing plus labour. Your\ncost will depend on a number of factors such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Slope &#8211;\nsteep vs. flat will affect sealant, shingle, fastener and labour fees<\/li><li>Size &#8211;\nboth material and labour costs are generally calculated by square footage<\/li><li>Panel type\n&#8211; costs differ for interlocking, overlapping, coating, and sealing<\/li><li>Material &#8211;\nchoices range from economy, steel sheets, aluminum, and standing seam<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on our experience and training, it is\nour firm belief that even with the higher price of initial installation, a\nmetal roof on your home will have paid for itself and continue to save you\nmoney each year within the\nfirst decade.[check with client and adjust for their\nestimate] So if you are looking for a long-term payoff from a\nshort-term investment, a metal roof will pay back in dividends for as long as\nyou own your home. Let\u2019s have a closer look at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stronger and Longer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because metal roofs last for anywhere from\n40 to 70 years with little to no maintenance, once you have installed your\nmetal roof, you can sit back and watch the heating and cooling savings and your\nhome equity gains add up month to month, year to year, decade to decade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the opposite end of the spectrum, thanks\nto the harsh weather climate of Ottawa and the surrounding area, homeowners\nwith asphalt shingles can expect to repair sections of their roof after any\nmajor weather events and are committed to a full replacement in as little as 8\nto 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple math shows that just 2 life cycles\nof reshingling with asphalt could add up to the initial cost of a metal roof.\nIf you continue to re-roof with asphalt shingles every 8-10 years, you\u2019re\nliterally pouring money down the drain (and filling landfill with\nnon-recyclable asphalt shingles and nails) by repeatedly reshingling with\nasphalt shingles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, installing a metal roof is a project\nthat requires a higher up-front investment , but the long-term durability and\nprotection provided by meal roofs outweigh the initial higher costs in the long\nrun. The durability, low maintenance and strength of metal roofs save money\nevery month on utility bills and are far more environmentally and eco-friendly\nthan asphalt shingles. And the lack of repair and replacement costs make them\nsignificantly cheaper in the long run. When it comes time to sell your home, a\nmetal roof will bring you a higher selling price and strong ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage all of our clients to take\ntime to consider the overall value and cost savings of installing a metal roof\ninstead of being turned off by the initial cost. If you\u2019d like to have a\nconversation to test some of your thoughts and beliefs about whether metal is\nbetter than shingles, we\u2019re always happy to engage! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are considering a metal roof for\nyour new home construction or for re-roofing over an existing shingle roof,\nreach out to the <a href=\"https:\/\/renovaction.ca\/en\/quote\/\">roofing experts at\nRenovaction<\/a>.
