Metal Roofing in Livingston, NJ: what actually fails

Metal roofing on larger Livingston homes is published at an estimated $20,000 to $40,000, against about $12,000 to $28,000 for architectural shingle. On a split-level every level change is custom flashing in metal, which is where the gap widens.

An Essex County township of about 30,000 people, incorporated in 1811 from seven named sections, and built out mostly between 1960 and 1985.

One permit authority for the whole township, so the paperwork is the same everywhere. What moves the number between sections is how many levels the house has, how its roofs meet, and what is on the deck underneath.

Note 01What is the downside to a metal roof?

Cost up front: on a larger Livingston home metal is published at an estimated $20,000 to $40,000 against about $12,000 to $28,000 for architectural shingle. On a split-level, every level change is custom flashing in metal, and snow sheds off metal in one go, so where it lands matters.

Note 02Is it cheaper to put a metal roof on or asphalt shingles?

Asphalt shingles, up front: about $1 to $4 a square foot against $4 to $30 for metal, nationally. Metal is rated at 40 to 70 years against 15 to 30, so over a long ownership the gap narrows.

Note 03Why don't more people use metal roofs?

Mostly the up-front price: about $4 to $30 a square foot nationally, against $1 to $4 for asphalt shingle. Metal is rated at 40 to 70 years against 15 to 30, so it makes most sense for an owner who plans to stay long enough to see the difference.
