Metal vs. asphalt shingles: an honest comparison

Cost, lifespan, looks and noise — what really differs.

Both are good roofs. The right choice depends on budget, how long you'll stay, and the look you want.

Upfront cost

Shingles cost less to install. Metal costs more upfront but often lasts longer.

Noise

With solid decking and underlayment, a metal roof is rarely louder than shingles inside the home.
