Metal sheds snow and outlasts asphalt by decades, and 1 of the 152 roofers listed in Indianapolis metro install it.
At a glance
- Standing seam hides its fasteners. Exposed fastener panel is cheaper and needs more upkeep.
- Snow slides off metal in sheets, so retention bars go above doors and walkways.
- Metal costs two to three times asphalt and lasts two to three times as long.
- It can often go over an existing roof, which saves the tear off.

Common questions
Is a metal roof loud in rain
Not over a solid deck with underlayment and an insulated attic under it. The noise people remember is metal over open framing on a barn.
Does a metal roof attract lightning
No. It does not make a strike more likely, and metal is non combustible if one happens.
Can metal go over my existing shingles
Often yes, which saves the tear off. The decking has to be sound and the city has to allow it, so it is a question for the roofer and the permit desk.
