Questions
About metal roofing
Is a metal roof noisy in the rain?
With solid decking and underlayment, a metal roof is not much louder than other roofs. We explain what to expect.
Does metal attract lightning?
No. Metal does not make a house more likely to be struck by lightning.
Can metal go over my old shingles?
Sometimes, but we usually recommend a full tear-off so the deck can be checked.
