Metal Roofing
In Atlanta, GA.

A quality metal roof lasts 50+ years - often 2-3 times longer than asphalt shingles, which typically last 20-30 years. Standing seam metal roofs with concealed fasteners can last 60-70 years with minimal maintenance. When you factor in the avoidance of 1-2 re-roofing cycles, metal roofing often costs less over the life of the home.

For most homeowners, yes. Metal roofing typically costs 2-3x more upfront than premium shingles but lasts 2-3x longer, requires virtually no maintenance, reduces energy costs by 25%, increases home value by $30,000-$60,000, and carries a 200%+ ROI. It's the last roof most homeowners ever install.

Neither. Metal roofing with proper underlayment and ventilation is no louder than shingles during rain. Cool-roof metal panels actually reflect solar heat, making your home cooler and reducing air conditioning costs by up to 25%. Metal roofs reduce heat transfer far more effectively than dark-colored shingles.

Standing seam metal roofing carries wind ratings up to 140mph - exceeding the requirements for hurricane zones. Metal roofs are also Class A fire rated, Class 4 impact rated for hail, and shed snow and ice more effectively than any other roofing material. They are the most storm-resistant residential roofing option available.

Modern metal roofing comes in far more styles than the corrugated barn look. Standing seam panels offer clean, modern lines in 40+ colors. Metal shingles replicate the look of natural slate, clay tile, and cedar shake with stunning realism. Corrugated panels serve farmhouse and contemporary aesthetics. Capital City Roofing helps you select the style that complements your home's architecture.

No. Metal roofing does not increase the probability of a lightning strike. Lightning typically strikes the highest point in an area regardless of material. If a metal roof is struck, it dissipates the charge safely across the surface - unlike combustible materials like wood, metal will not catch fire from a lightning strike.
