While metal shingles have many benefits, it’s important to note that they do have some disadvantages as well. One of the main disadvantages is that they can be more expensive than other types of roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles. However, when you consider that this roofing system can last at least 3 times as long as an asphalt-based system, choosing metal can wind up saving you more money in the long run.
Furthermore, a roof installed with this material can be loud during heavy rain or hail, which might be a problem for some homeowners. The best way to mitigate this is merely to add additional insulation to the attic space and have us install a higher-end underlayment which can both act to dampen the sound’s impact.
