Metal Roofing Installation FAQ for Philadelphia Homeowners

How often should Philadelphia homeowners get metal roofing installation?
Given Philadelphia's cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles damaging mortar, most homeowners benefit from metal roofing installation at least once a year. Winter ice dam and mortar damage often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Philadelphia most need metal roofing installation?
Red brick rowhouses (very common) and Twin and semi-detached homes are the most common home types in Philadelphia 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.
