Why homeowners are switching to metal roofing
Metal roofing has become one of the most popular upgrades for Wisconsin homeowners—and for good reason.Compared to traditional asphalt shingles, metal roofs last 2–3 times longer and offer superior protection from wind, hail, snow, and fire.
Key benefits of metal roofing:
- Crack & Warp Resistant – Built to resist cracking, warping, and mold.
- Snow & Ice Shedding – Prevents ice dams by shedding snow and ice quickly.
- Fire-Resistant – Non-combustible materials for added safety.
- Reflective Coatings – Lowers cooling costs in summer months.
- Low Maintenance – Easy to clean and simple to care for.
- Eco-Friendly – Often made with recycled materials and fully recyclable.

Any doubts? We're here to help
Can I install a metal roof over shingles?
Yes, in some cases. But we often recommend full tear-off to inspect decking and ensure ventilation.
Do metal roofs attract lightning?
No more than any other roofing type—and they’re actually safer due to being non-combustible.
Are metal roofs loud during storms?
Not with proper insulation and underlayment. Most homeowners find them no noisier than shingles.
Will my metal roof rust or fade?
No. We use coated steel or aluminum panels with warranties against corrosion and fading.
