Metal Roofing Installation FAQ for Buffalo Homeowners

How often should Buffalo homeowners get metal roofing installation?
Given Buffalo's lake-effect snow from lake erie averaging 93 inches per year, most homeowners benefit from metal roofing installation at least once a year. Roof snow load management and ice dam removal (Nov–April) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Buffalo most need metal roofing installation?
Victorian and Edwardian homes in the Elmwood Village and Brick bungalows throughout Erie County are the most common home types in Buffalo and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
Is metal roofing loud in rain?
With proper installation including insulation and solid decking, metal roofs are no louder than asphalt. In fact, many homeowners report less noise than they expected.
Can metal roofing be installed over existing shingles?
Often yes, if the existing shingles are in one layer and the deck is structurally sound. This saves tear-off costs and adds an extra insulating layer.
What metal roofing material should I choose?
Galvalume steel is the most cost-effective and most common. Aluminum is better for coastal areas due to salt resistance. Copper and zinc are premium options with exceptional longevity.
How much more does metal roofing cost vs. asphalt?
Metal typically costs 2–3x more upfront than asphalt. Over a 50-year period accounting for the 2–3 asphalt replacements you'd otherwise need, the total cost of ownership is often lower.
