Does metal roofing cost more than shingle?
Yes — typically 40–80% more than architectural shingle. But the lifespan is 2x, the fire rating is better, and insurance discounts in fire zones can be meaningful. Lifetime cost often favors metal for owners staying in the home 20+ years.
Is metal roofing loud when it rains?
No, not in a residential install. Metal roofing installs over decking and underlayment — the metal panel itself is only the waterproof layer, not the acoustic surface. Rain on a properly installed metal roof sounds about like rain on a shingle roof from inside the house. The 'metal roof is loud' myth comes from open-frame barn installs.
