Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a metal roof worth the investment?

Life-Cycle: When compared to replacement costs of asphalt shingles, a metal roof is by far the most economical and ecological solution. Not only will it transform the aesthetic appeal, it also protects your family or business for generations to come.

Insurance savings: Many insurance companies recognize the added security of a metal roof and reflect that value in reducing premiums. This is due to its resistance to fire, hail, wind uplift, and more.

Energy Savings: A metal roof takes in less heat from the sun in the summer, keeping it cool, while helping keep your home warm in the winter because of its protection. This translates to an approximate 15% savings on your energy bills.

How long can I expect my metal roof to last?

A Merlin’s Magic Lock metal roof can easily last over 100 years. Traditional copper double lock standing seam roofs can last up to 600 years without replacement.

Is a metal roof noisy?

A metal roof installed on top of a solid plywood deck is normally quite quiet and does not make noise inside the house as some people expect. If it’s installed on top of a hollow chamber there is a greater chance of it sounding like a drum would.

Is metal roofing environmentally friendly?

Yes, it’s the most environmentally friendly roofing choice on the market. Not only is it 97% recyclable, its long-life cycle drastically reduces waste from disposal of the old roof into landfills and the environmental cost of reinstalling a new roof.
