FAQs
Metal Roofing Questions We Hear Every Day
Got questions about metal roofing? We've been installing metal roofs on homes across Ocean County since 2006. Here are the answers we give most often.
How much does a metal roof cost in Toms River?
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, and the metal type you choose. For a typical 2,000-square-foot home, expect a range of $12,000 to $25,000 installed. We use materials from Malarkey, CertainTeed, GAF, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas — each with different price points. We'll give you a free, no-obligation estimate after inspecting your roof, so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Is metal roofing good for the Jersey Shore weather?
Absolutely. Metal roofs handle high winds, heavy rain, and snow loads better than most other materials. We've installed them on homes all over Ocean County, from Bay Head to Seaside Heights. They're also fire-resistant and won't rot or warp in our humid summers. Plus, they reflect heat, which can lower your cooling bills in July and August.
How long does a metal roof last compared to asphalt shingles?
A properly installed metal roof can last 40 to 70 years. Asphalt shingles typically last 15 to 30 years. So you're looking at at least double the lifespan. We back our metal roof installations with a workmanship warranty up to 10 years, and the manufacturer warranties are even longer. It's a one-time investment for most homeowners.
Will a metal roof make my house hotter in the summer?
No — actually the opposite. Metal roofs are coated with reflective pigments that bounce sunlight away from your home. This can reduce attic temperatures by up to 25 degrees, which means your AC doesn't have to work as hard. Many of our customers in Toms River and Silverton notice lower energy bills after switching to metal.
Can you install a metal roof over my existing shingles?
In some cases, yes. But we always recommend a full tear-off first. Removing old shingles lets us inspect the decking for water damage and install proper underlayment. We've seen too many hidden issues under old roofs in neighborhoods like Ortley Beach and Pine Beach. A clean install means fewer problems down the road.
Does metal roofing work with insurance claims?
Yes, and we handle insurance claims from start to finish. If a storm damaged your roof, we'll help you document everything, work with your adjuster, and make sure you get the coverage you're entitled to. We've done this for hundreds of homeowners across Ocean County since 2006. Just give us a call at (732) 466-1587 to start the process.
How loud is a metal roof when it rains?
Not as loud as you might think. With proper insulation and attic ventilation, the sound is about the same as an asphalt roof. Our installations include a solid deck and underlayment that dampen noise. If you've ever heard rain on a metal roof at a beach house on the Jersey Shore, you know it's more soothing than annoying.
