Metal & Shingle Roofing Services
for Erie, Warren, PA & Beyond

Those in Erie and Warren, PA may have noticed a lot more metal roofs appearing on properties in our area. Many homeowners are making the switch from shingle roofs to metal roofs. However, metal roofs have pros and cons just like shingle roofs. Before you choose to have a new roof installed on your property, it is a good idea to understand the differences between the two.

One of the most notable differences between metal roofs and shingle roofs is the price. Metal roofs are usually more expensive than shingle roofs. However, metal roofs last longer. While a shingle roof usually lasts about 20 years, a metal roof can last anywhere from 40 to 70 years. If you are looking for a long-term investment, a metal roof would be the smart choice. However, if you are seeking a quick and reliable fix that is budget friendly, a shingle roof may be better for you.

Aside from price and longevity, the two roofing choices are fairly the same. Each has its own set of weaknesses and strengths. For example, shingle roofs are easier to repair, but they can be susceptible to mold. Metal roofs can be dented by hail, but they do fairly well against heavy snowfalls that would otherwise damage a roof.
