Length in Years

The bottom line when answering this question is the number of years your metal roof will last before needing to be replaced.

Our roofs are designed to last for many years and with proper care and maintenance, you can expect to get up to 50 years out of your roof. Some might even last longer than that. A metal roof will definitely last much longer than traditional shingles because it’s more durable and can withstand weather much better.

Weather

Speaking of weather, your metal roof is created to get through storms that include rain, sleet and heavy amounts of water. However, the more it’s exposed to the elements, the more quickly it will wear out and need to be replaced.

Some seasons are worse than others and making sure you execute proper maintenance year round can help protect it for longer. We can help you with some easy tips and advice for making your roof last as long as possible.

Materials Chosen

There are several kinds of metals that are used for roofing. Some of them last longer than others, but they are all a sturdy and reliable choice. Steel and aluminium are the two most popular options and both will last for up to 50 years.

Copper is even more durable and reliable and a well installed copper roof can last for 100 years or more. Your choice will depend on your budget since some materialsvare much costlier than others.
