Metal roofing is one of the longest-lasting roofing systems available to homeowners today. A quality metal roof can hold up for 50 years or more, stand up to heavy rain and high winds, and reflect heat to help with cooling costs through the summer. With a wide range of colors, profiles, and design features available, metal panels fit everything from modern homes to classic Ann Arbor architecture. For homeowners tired of patching an aging asphalt shingle roof, or anyone drawn to the clean lines and color options metal panels offer, a metal roofing system is worth a closer look.
A metal roof is built from formed metal panels rather than traditional shingles. Compared to an asphalt shingle roof, a metal roof offers stronger weather resistance, better energy efficiency, and a longer service life on the roof deck. Metal roofing has been used in the roofing industry for decades, and it continues to be a popular choice with homeowners who want low maintenance and a clean look that fits modern design as well as traditional homes.
At GoTo Roofing, we help homeowners across Ann Arbor and the surrounding communities choose the right metal roofing system for their home and budget. If you’re replacing an aging asphalt shingle roof or planning a new roof for a different reason, our team gives you straightforward guidance on the best option for your home.
Ribbed metal panels are the more affordable metal roof option, with raised ribs running vertically along each panel. The fasteners are visible across the surface of the roof, which keeps installation costs lower per square foot while still delivering strong weather resistance and a long service life. Available in a wide range of colors and finishes, ribbed metal panels are a smart fit for homes where owners want the look and performance of metal without the higher cost of a hidden fastener system.
A standing seam metal roof is the premium metal roofing system. Panels lock together along raised vertical seams, with fasteners hidden underneath. The result is a clean, modern look with no exposed fasteners to wear down over time. A standing seam roof stands up to heavy rain, snow loads, and other harsh weather Michigan homes deal with year after year, and it works with a wide range of design features and color options. Most standing seam metal roofs last 50 years or longer when installed by skilled metal roofing contractors.
A properly installed metal roof can last 50+ years, far longer than traditional shingles.
