When it comes to longevity, durability, low-maintenance, and beauty, metal is becoming a highly sought after roofing material for most residential homeowners. In fact, it is the second most common roofing material in the United States. Although metal has a higher initial cost for the project, the return on investment compared to shingles is usually significantly greater due to it’s expected lifespan. According to State Farm, metal roofs can last anywhere from 40-70 years depending on the exact metal material used. In the Mount Pleasant, Charleston, Daniel Island, I’On, Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, and James Island neighborhoods that we serve, metal is highly considered for the roof replacements.
