Metal Roofing vs Asphalt Shingles

When we build roofs at Turtle Shell Roofing, we build them for life! Here in our Chicagoland factory, our team is hard at work to construct the most durable, most beautiful roof you could possibly install to protect your home for the years ahead.

If you are wondering how metal roofing compares to asphalt shingles, we have your answers! Metal roofing has pros and cons.

The advantages to metal roofing include:

• Unbeatable longevity – 3-4x the service life of a traditional roof
• Fire, wind, and hail resistance – far more resilient than asphalt or tile
• Modern styling – our patented shingles look just like a traditional, high-end shingle

Some homeowners consider these the disadvantages of metal roofing:

• Heavier shingles – this adds to wind resistance, but also to the complexity of installation. You need a specialist to install our Turtle Shell Roofing! Luckily, we train qualified installers nationwide
• Higher cost – while metal roofing saves you money in the long run, it does tend to cost more than low-end asphalt shingles
