Is It Going To Be Loud?

Have you ever considered metal roofing? It might not be one of the first things that come to mind, especially since many homeowners are worried about the noise that rain or hail could cause. You might only have the experience of being under a metal roof in a shed, and the reality is that it is a completely different experience when you have a metal roof with solid sheathing installed on a home.

A metal roof that is properly installed won’t be any noisier than other roofing materials. It will, however, be much more durable than some materials. Fire isn’t going to start on a metal roof, you won’t have to worry about rot or wood-destroying insects.

Rust is however an issue, and to prevent that, you need to protect your roof from water buildup. It is also possible for your roof to get dented by falling branches, so it is a good idea to trim back tree branches that hang over the roof.
