When it’s time for a roof replacement, residential and commercial property owners face an important decision: metal or asphalt shingles? At S & D Improvements, we’ve been helping Ohio homeowners and businesses make informed roofing choices since 1998.
Asphalt Shingle Roofing
Asphalt shingles remain the most popular roofing choice across Ohio. Quality manufacturers like Owens Corning offer premium lines such as the Duration® Series that provide excellent performance for Northeast Ohio’s challenging climate.
Asphalt Shingle Advantages
Cost-effective installation makes asphalt shingles attractive for residential and commercial properties. Easy repairs mean individual damaged shingles can be replaced quickly without affecting the entire roof system. Design versatility offers colors and textures to complement virtually any architectural style.
Asphalt Shingle Considerations
The primary drawback is shorter lifespan—typically 15-25 years. Additionally, energy efficiency may be lower compared to reflective metal systems.
Metal Roofing Systems
Metal roofing offers superior durability for our region’s challenging weather patterns. Available in steel, aluminum, or specialty alloys.
Metal Roofing Advantages
Exceptional longevity with quality installations lasting 50-70 years. Superior weather resistance during heavy snow, ice dams, and severe thunderstorms. Energy efficiency benefits include reflecting solar heat, reducing cooling costs by up to 25%. Low maintenance requirements and fire resistance provide worry-free protection.
Metal Roofing Considerations
Higher initial investment typically costs 2-3 times more than quality asphalt shingles. Limited repair options may require larger section replacements compared to individual shingle replacement.
