Metal Roof Installation & Replacement: Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our metal roof installation & replacement service in South Carolina.
How much does a standing seam metal roof cost compared to shingles?
Expect roughly two to three times the cost of an architectural shingle roof, most Lowcountry homes land between $25,000 and $50,000 depending on size and panel choice. The trade is lifespan: 40 to 70 years versus 18 to 25 for shingles.
Is a metal roof worth it near the South Carolina coast?
For homes you plan to keep long term, usually yes, metal shrugs off the wind, salt air, and heat that age shingles early here. Aluminum panels or a quality painted Galvalume finish is the right call within a few miles of saltwater.
Standing seam or exposed fastener metal, which should I choose?
Standing seam for a house, exposed fastener (screw down) only for barns, sheds, and budget builds. Standing seam hides the fasteners in clips so there are no screw gaskets to dry out and leak, which is precisely where screw down roofs fail after year 15.
Is a metal roof louder in the rain than shingles?
Over a normal attic with insulation and decking, no, the difference is a myth left over from open frame barns. Installed on solid decking with underlayment, rain on metal measures about the same inside as rain on shingles.
Can a metal roof go over my existing shingles?
Code sometimes allows it, but we recommend a tear off. Metal over old shingles traps heat and moisture, hides decking problems, and can void panel warranties, and it costs you double at the next replacement cycle.
