Metal roof or asphalt shingles? It's one of the most common questions we get β and the honest answer is it depends on your home, your budget, and what matters most to you.
Here's a quick breakdown to help you think it through:
π© ASPHALT SHINGLES
β
Lower upfront cost
β
Wide variety of colors and styles
β
Great option for most Michiana homes
β οΈ Lifespan is typically 20-30 years with most asphalt shingle manufacturers offering "limited lifetime" warranties.
ποΈ METAL ROOFING
β
Lifespan of 30-50 years β based on manufacture warranties
β
Handles Michiana weather extremely well β snow, ice, heat
β
More energy efficient β reflects heat instead of absorbing it
β

Both are great options β it really comes down to how long you plan to stay in your home and what fits your budget right now.
