Steel metal roofing is becoming an increasingly popular choice among homeowners looking to update or replace their current roofs. This is because steel metal roofing offers a wide range of features and advantages that make it an ideal option for a variety of different types of homes.

Though metal roofing comes in a variety of options to choose from, the most common one is Steel. Steel is a resilient alloy, made from iron and other elements. Steel roofing has commonly been used in commercial buildings for well over 100 years, and has recently been gaining popularity in residential use due to its longevity, durability, and low maintenance.

While steel roofing does have many advantages, there are also a few disadvantages to consider. One of the biggest disadvantages of steel roofing is its upfront cost. Installing steel roofing is generally more expensive than other using other roofing materials, which means that it may not be the best option for those on a tight budget.

However, when you consider that steel roofs will typically last anywhere from 3-6 times as long when compared with other roofing systems such as traditional asphalt shingles, it may prove to be your most cost-effective option in the long run. In other words, if you are planning on living in your house for at least 15 years, you may want to consider steel for your next roofing project as it could be more the more economical over solution the long term.

One of the disadvantages of steel metal roofing is that it can be noisy during rain or hail storms. This can be an issue for homeowners who are looking for a quiet and peaceful living environment. However, this can be mitigated by installing additional insulation or soundproofing underlayment beneath the steel metal roofing.

Another disadvantage of steel metal roofing is that depending upon the style and thickness chosen, some versions can dent or scratch easily. This can be a concern for homeowners who live in areas prone to hailstorms or other types of severe weather, which is why we never recommend the thinner 29 gauge option. Likewise, steel metal roofing can rust if it is not properly maintained. This can be a concern for homeowners who live in areas with high humidity or salt water. However, this can be rectified by choosing one that comes with an appropriate protective coating.

Another disadvantage of steel metal roofing is that it can be more difficult to install than other types of roofing. Steel metal roofing requires specialized tools and expertise to install, which can make it more challenging for the average homeowner to complete on their own.
