Metal Roofing in Northfield, Livingston: what actually fails

In Northfield metal is a conversation for the pitched houses; a low-slope commercial roof near Northfield Center is a different product altogether. Each is priced for the roof it actually is.

One of the seven sections named when Livingston was incorporated in 1811, now Northfield Center, with commercial frontage along Northfield Avenue.

  • Shingle roofs on the houses nearby
  • Wall upstands on low-slope roofs
  • Repairs kept in each roof's own material
  • Pitched or low slope, settled before anything else

Note 01How much does it cost to put a metal roof on a 2,000 sq ft house?

Nationally, metal runs about $4 to $30 a square foot, and on larger Livingston homes it is published at an estimated $20,000 to $40,000. A 2,000 square foot house will often sit lower, but roof area, levels and flashing decide it, not floor area.

Note 02Why 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.

Note 03How long does a metal roof last compared with shingles?

Metal roofing is generally rated at 40 to 70 years and asphalt shingles at 15 to 30. The fasteners, seams and flashings decide whether a metal roof reaches its rating, which is why they are checked on every visit.
