Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does a metal roof last?

A high-quality standing seam metal roof lasts 50–70 years with minimal maintenance, compared to just 15–20 years for standard asphalt shingles.

Q: Do I need a vapor barrier under a metal roof?

Yes. Metal roofs are prone to condensation underneath. Use a high-quality synthetic underlayment or a dedicated radiant vapor barrier to protect the deck.
