Metal Shingles

Individual metal panels designed to look like traditional shingles. Easier to install on complex roof lines and available in a wide range of colors and profiles.

Corrugated / Ribbed Panels

Exposed-fastener panels commonly used for agricultural, commercial, and modern residential applications. Cost-effective with straightforward installation.

Durability

Metal roofs last 40–70 years compared to 15–30 years for asphalt shingles. They resist cracking, shrinking, and erosion, and will not rot or develop mold.

Hail Resistance

Most metal roofing systems carry Class 4 impact ratings — the highest available. Standing seam panels can withstand hailstones up to 2.5 inches without damage.

Energy Efficiency

Metal roofs reflect solar radiant heat, reducing cooling costs by up to 25–30%. Many options are Energy Star rated and may qualify for federal energy tax credits.

ROI & Resale

Metal roofs recover 60–85% of their cost at resale. Combined with energy savings, insurance discounts, and zero-maintenance longevity, the lifetime ROI often exceeds asphalt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about metal roofing in Omaha

How much does metal roofing cost compared to asphalt?

Metal roofing typically costs 2–3 times more than asphalt shingles upfront. However, metal roofs last 40–70 years (vs 15–30 for asphalt), require virtually no maintenance, and often qualify for insurance discounts and energy tax credits. When factored over the lifetime of the roof, metal is frequently the more cost-effective option. During your free assessment, we provide a detailed cost comparison for your specific project.

Is metal roofing noisy during rain or hail?

Modern metal roofing installed over solid decking with proper underlayment is no louder than asphalt shingles during rain. The combination of attic insulation, solid plywood or OSB decking, and high-quality synthetic underlayment effectively dampens sound. Many homeowners are surprised at how quiet their metal roof actually is.

Can metal roofs withstand Nebraska hail?

Yes. Most metal roofing systems carry Class 4 impact ratings — the highest classification. Standing seam panels are particularly resilient because they have no exposed fasteners and the interlocking seams flex rather than crack on impact. After a hailstorm, metal roofs typically show minimal cosmetic denting compared to the cracking, splitting, and granule loss common with asphalt shingles.

How much can I save on energy with a metal roof?

Metal roofing can reduce cooling costs by 25–30% compared to asphalt shingles by reflecting solar radiant heat rather than absorbing it. In Omaha's hot summers, this translates to measurable savings on your electric bill. Many metal roofing products are Energy Star rated and may qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits.

What is the difference between standing seam and metal shingles?

Standing seam uses long continuous panels with raised, interlocking seams and hidden fasteners, creating a sleek modern look with superior weather resistance. Metal shingles are individual panels that mimic the appearance of traditional asphalt shingles and work well on complex roof lines with multiple valleys and hips. Standing seam generally offers better long-term performance, while metal shingles provide more aesthetic flexibility.
