While there are many benefits and advantages to metal roofing, the reality is that, like all roofing types, it has a wide range of drawbacks that need to be taken into consideration. At the top of that list is price. There is no two ways about it, metal roofing is expensive. As a premium material, metal roofing pricing ranges from approximately $200 to $600 per square foot. So, despite the fact that metal roofing will save you money over the years, if you don’t plan on staying in your home for years then you probably won’t get the return on your investment. On top of the cost, metal roofs are noisy and can be loud with water hitting the metal so regularly. This can be particularly frustrating if you have young children in your home. Finally, metal roofs are also susceptible to dents when facing heavy hailstones or other forms of weather-related debris.
