Metal Roofing: Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a Turtle Shell metal roof unique?

Our team at Turtle Shell Roofing engineered a unique granule-coated aluminum roofing product, to offer you the best balance of metal’s resilience and ashphalt’s classic aesthetic.

Are aluminum roofs new?

The first recorded aluminum roof dates back the 1890s and was installed in Sydney, Australia. It is still in good working condition today, more than a century later!

Do I need to tear off my existing roof to install Turtle Shell Roofing?

In most cases, no! Turtle Shell Roofing is light enough to install over your existing roofing.

Will my metal roof look too shiny or strange?

No! We coat our aluminum roofing product in the same granules that coat traditional asphalt shingles. You get all of the durability of metal roofing, but a great traditional design.

Are metal roofs energy efficient?

Metal roofs have unbeatable energy efficiency savings. Your heating bill and cooling bill will both drop noticeably with a new metal roof, simply due to superior ventilation and emissivity from a properly installed metal roof.

Are Turtle Shell Roofing products recyclable?

Yes! We value the environment, and we designed our roofing products to be fully recyclable at the end of their service life.
