Frequently Asked Questions


Why is metal roofing better than a traditional shingled roof?

Hochstetler Metals offers a superior metal roofing system resistant to damage from hail, extreme temperatures, high winds, and fire. Typical asphalt shingles, broken down by the elements, will deteriorate, curl, and crumble. Metal roofing generally lasts the duration of the house or other structure, while shingles may need to be replaced every 10-20 years. A metal roof naturally reflects heat, making your home more energy efficient. Some insurance companies offer discounts to homeowners who install these impact resistant metal roofs, while resale value increases.

On average how much more does metal roofing cost?

While the initial cost of our high-quality metal roof system may be higher than other roofing materials such as asphalt, you will find it an investment that pays dividends over the lifespan of your structure. A metal roof will last much longer than traditional shingles and requires very little maintenance.

How long do metal roofs last?

Typically you can expect your metal roof to last 40-70 years. Compare to a traditional asphalt roof which lasts 10-20 years before needing to be replaced.
