Metal outlasts asphalt by decades, and New York metro.
At a glance
- Standing seam hides its fasteners. Exposed fastener panel is cheaper and needs upkeep.
- Metal can often go over an existing roof, which saves the tear off.
- It is not louder in rain over a solid deck with underlayment.
- A metal roof is non combustible, which matters in some places a great deal.

Common questions
Is a metal roof loud in rain
Not over a solid deck with underlayment and an insulated attic. The noise people remember is metal over open framing on a barn.
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.
