The Math That Sold Michael on Metal
Michael Patterson needed a new roof. His 25-year-old asphalt shingles had failed. He got quotes. $18,000 for premium shingles. $28,000 for metal.
His first reaction: "Metal costs way more. I'll do shingles."
Then John Holland showed him the calculator.
Over his lifetime, metal would save him $34,000.
Here's the math: Michael is 52. Premium shingles last 25-30 years. He'll need another roof when he's 77-82. That's $18,000 today, plus $25,000-$30,000 in 25 years (adjusted for inflation). Total: $43,000-$48,000.
Metal lasts 50-70 years. Michael installs it once at 52. It's still good when he's 100. One payment. $28,000. Done.
Plus: Lower insurance premiums (metal is fire-resistant). Lower cooling costs (metal reflects heat). Higher resale value (buyers pay more for homes with metal roofs).
Michael chose metal. That was eight years ago. Zero problems. Zero maintenance beyond annual inspection. And he tells everyone who'll listen about the math.
Why Metal Roofs Outlast Everything Else
Extreme Durability
Metal doesn't crack, curl, or lose granules. It doesn't rot or grow moss. It just sits there, protecting your house, decade after decade.
Weather Resistance
Rated for 140+ mph winds. Hail resistant. Snow slides off easily. Milwaukee winters don't faze metal roofs.
Fire Resistance
Class A fire rating. Non-combustible. Many insurance companies offer 10-35% discounts for metal roofs.
Energy Efficiency
Reflects solar heat instead of absorbing it. Can reduce cooling costs by 10-25% during Milwaukee summers.
Lightweight
Weighs 50-75% less than asphalt shingles. Less stress on your house structure. Can often be installed over existing roof.
Eco-Friendly
100% recyclable at end of life. Most metal roofs contain 25-95% recycled content. Asphalt shingles fill landfills.

Common Metal Roof Concerns (Answered)
"Won't it be loud when it rains?"
Not with proper installation. Solid decking, underlayment, and attic insulation make metal roofs quieter than many shingle roofs. You won't hear rain any more than you do now.
"Will it attract lightning?"
No. Metal roofs don't attract lightning any more than other roofing materials. And if lightning does strike, metal actually disperses the energy better and is non-combustible.
"Does it dent from hail?"
Modern metal roofs are rated for large hail. While extreme hail can dent any material, metal outperforms asphalt shingles in hail storms. We use materials tested to UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance.
"Won't it look commercial or industrial?"
Only if you want it to. Modern metal roofs come in dozens of colors and styles. Many look identical to traditional shingles or slate. Unless someone knows, they won't know.
