The Benefits of Metal Roofs

Metal roofs offer an unbeatable combination of strength and style. With excellent resistance to fire, high winds, and heavy snowfall, metal roofing is built to withstand Minnesota’s harsh climate. Additionally, metal roofs reflect heat and help reduce energy bills during the summer months, all while requiring very little maintenance over time.

  • Superior Longevity: Metal roofs can last 40–70 years with minimal upkeep, far outlasting traditional asphalt options.
  • Reliable Energy Efficiency: Homeowners can enjoy cooler interior temperatures and lower utility costs thanks to reflective metal roof panels.
  • Design Flexibility and Fire Resistance: Available in various metal roof colors and styles—including standing seam and metal shingles—metal roofing adds visual appeal while offering excellent fire resistance.
  • Minimal Maintenance: Due to the sleek material type, moss and algae have difficulty growing on a metal roof, unlike other material types.
  • Updated Curb Appeal: Metal roofing has been on the rise, increasing not only home value but overall home aesthetic with its modern feel and materials.

Installing Metal Roofing FAQs

How long does a metal roof last?

Metal roofs can often last 40–70 years, depending on the type of material and proper installation. MEI uses high-quality materials and backs every project with a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty.

What is the cost of a metal roof?

The metal roof cost depends on factors like home size, panel type, and installation complexity. While metal roof prices are typically higher than asphalt, the long-term savings in energy and maintenance make it a worthwhile investment.

Are metal roofs noisy during rain or hail?

Not when properly installed. MEI uses insulating underlayment to minimize sound, so your metal roof should not be louder than any other roof material.

Can you paint a metal roof?

Yes, but a replacement is typically a better option than painting. Metal roofs can be painted using high-quality acrylic or silicone-based paint for metal surfaces. Proper surface prep is essential for lasting results.

Is a sheet metal roof cheaper than shingles?

Not always. Metal roofs typically have a higher initial cost than asphalt shingles. Still, they can offer twice the lifespan of other shingle materials and lower maintenance, which can save money over time.

How to clean a metal roof?

You can use a soft brush or sponge with water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly with a hose. Avoid abrasive tools or pressure washers to prevent surface damage to your metal roof.
