Residential Metal Roofing FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal Roofing

Is a metal roof worth the additional cost?

Metal roofing generally costs more upfront than asphalt shingles, but many homeowners choose it for its durability, low maintenance requirements, energy-efficient finish options, distinctive appearance, and long-term value. Whether it is worth the investment depends on your budget, how long you plan to remain in the home, and what you want from your roofing system.

How long does a residential metal roof last?

A professionally installed and properly maintained metal roof can provide decades of dependable protection. Its actual lifespan will depend on the panel system, material, finish, installation quality, environmental exposure, and ongoing maintenance.

Are metal roofs noisy when it rains?

A residential metal roof installed over solid roof decking with appropriate underlayment should not sound like an uncovered metal roof on a barn or shed. The roof assembly, attic insulation, ventilation, and construction of the home all help reduce exterior noise.

Can you install metal roofing on an existing home?

Yes. RLM Roofing provides metal roof replacement for existing homes as well as metal roof installation for new construction. Before installation, we evaluate the existing roofing system and roof deck to identify conditions that may need to be addressed.

Can metal roofing be installed over asphalt shingles?

Whether metal roofing can be installed over an existing asphalt shingle roof depends on the home, the condition of the existing roof, the selected panel system, and applicable installation requirements. RLM Roofing will recommend the method that provides the best long-term result.

Will a metal roof rust?

Modern metal roofing panels are manufactured with protective coatings and finishes designed to resist corrosion. Proper installation, compatible fasteners, careful flashing, and appropriate maintenance are important to long-term performance.

Is metal roofing energy efficient?

Metal roofing is available in colors and finishes that can help reflect solar heat. Overall energy performance also depends on insulation, ventilation, roof design, and other construction factors.

What is the difference between standing seam and exposed fastener roofing?

Standing seam metal roofing uses concealed fasteners and has a clean, streamlined appearance. Exposed fastener roofing uses visible fasteners to secure corrugated panels and is typically more economical.

Do you install metal roofing on new homes?

Yes. RLM Roofing provides new metal roof installation for new homes, additions, garages, workshops, and other residential construction projects.

What warranties are available?

Qualifying panels installed by RLM Roofing include a 50-year manufacturer warranty through Triad Corrugated Metal. RLM Roofing also provides a 5-year workmanship warranty on the installation.
