Debunking 4 Metal Roof Myths

Metal Roofing is slowly becoming a popular residential roofing option for many homeowners in the Pittsburgh area. For the longest time, and even today, people have been a little skeptical towards metal roofing due to some myths, which may have been true in the past but are no longer, due to advancements made to the roofing material. Not only do we, at Home Genius Exteriors, use the very best metal roofing materials for your roof but we’re also going to debunk some of these silly myths so that you can invest in this exceptional roofing material.

Metal Roofs Are Loud

In years gone by, metal roofing made quite the noise when it rained or hailed. This sound was incredibly distracting and annoying. But due to technological advancements and developments made to the material, metal roofing produces less sound than the common asphalt shingle roof. This is due to the roofing’s solid sheathing which serves as a noise reduction material.

Metal Roofing Is Ugly

People often imagine metal roofing as being these long, dull sheets of gray on the roof of one’s home. You’ll be delightfully surprised to see that today, metal roofing comes in all shapes, colours and styles. You can style your metal roofing according to your unique design and aesthetic.

Metal Roofs Are More Expensive

Upfront, metal roofing is a lot pricier than asphalt shingles. However, you’ll be saving a lot more longterm as metal roofing lasts a lot longer than asphalt shingles, they are easier to maintain and they’re able to withstand severe weather conditions a lot better than an asphalt shingle roof.

Metal Roofing Is Hotter In The Summer

This is a common myth that has plagued the metal roofing industry for a long time. Metal roofing is one of the best-suited roofing materials for homes in warmer areas. This is because it possesses high reflective properties. This means that it immediately reflects any UV light. It also has a high emissivity feature, which means that it deflects any heat and energy without absorbing it into your home.

“I replaced the roof and gutter, not my first time on the project. It's my first time working with Home Genius. I'm glad I chose this company. The crew that represent the company ( Buddy, Alex, Tim, Pablo, and the crew) are the greatest persons I've met. Very professional, pleasant, respectful, and they show up on time, they all take their time to explain all my questions/concerns and show me every step of the project. I am grateful to be served by these wonderful people and company.”

“Home Genius Exteriors replaced my entire roof and they were absolutely amazing. They were professional, did quality work, and had great customer service. We had missing shingles and Home Genius was able to complete our roof in less than a week from the estimate! Melissa did the estimate and was very knowledgeable and helped us make the best decision for our home. Casey was the project manager and she communicated all the information we needed, was on top of everything with the project, and was even helping clean up after the work was complete to make sure the yard was safe for my kids. Would definitely recommend Home Genius 10/10 they went the extra mile!”

“I’m very impressed with Home Genius Exteriors. From the sales opportunity, to ordering, and finally execution everything was smooth sailing. Rob, who sold us our roof, was educated on the product and process. He answered all my detailed questions with patience. A special comment must be left for our Project Manager, Mike, who went above and beyond in every way. He was always available, answers all our questions, thoroughly reviewed the work was done, and even let us know that he is available after the project with any questions. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work. I have worked with others, and so has my family, and I’ll tell you right now we’re sticking with Home Genius Exteriors for all future projects due to Mike’s customer service. Highly recommended company to work with! Our roof is gorgeous.”
