How much does a metal roofing cost?

Roofing is expensive, and that’s just for a regular roof

But it’s true, metal roofing is going to be more expensive and generally speaking will be 2-3 times more expensive than an asphalt roof.

Why?

Well, first of all, using metal as your base material for one is going to cost more. 

Secondly, Interlock® roofs are made of aluminum, (which we feel has advantages over steel roofing) and as a base metal, it’s more expensive than steel. 

Overall, if the price is an issue for you and you need to stick to a lower budget fix for your roof, we understand. 

But.

Those who have taken the time to do their research find that Interlock® roofs prove to be more than worth the extra cost.

Why?

  • Primarily, because after their research they realize they are investing in their home … and really, themselves.
  • Our Lifetime Limited Warranty comes standard on every roof
  • For most this will be the last roof they will ever need
  • Finally, our roofing comes with benefits. (Read about them here)
