How to choose between shingle and metal roof
Honest answers from TruRoof, your local residential roof replacement contractor in Anderson Township, OH.
You need a new roof and you're stuck between shingle and metal. You've heard metal lasts longer but costs more. You're not sure if it's worth the extra money for your house here in Anderson Township.
Both shingle and metal roofs have their place. Asphalt shingles are the most common choice in Anderson Township. They come in many colors and styles. Metal roofs are growing in popularity because they can last twice as long. The decision often comes down to how long you plan to stay in your home.
Shingle roof replacement usually costs less upfront. A full tear-off and replacement might run $8,000 to $15,000. Metal roofs cost more, often $15,000 to $30,000, but they can last 40 to 70 years with less upkeep. The final price depends on your home's size, roof pitch, and any deck repairs needed. Shingle jobs take 1 to 3 days. Metal takes 3 to 5 days.
This week, get a written estimate from a local contractor who knows Anderson Township homes. TruRoof provides free, no-pressure estimates for both shingle and metal roofs. We'll help you compare the costs side by side. Don't wait until a small leak turns into a big problem.

What people in Anderson Township say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
