Shingle or metal roof? How to decide for your home.
Honest answers from TruRoof, shingle roofing in Batavia, OH.
You need a new roof for your Batavia home. You keep hearing that metal lasts decades longer, but the price tag is steeper. How do you know which one makes sense for your house and your budget?
Shingle roofs are the most common choice in Batavia neighborhoods. They use asphalt shingles, which are affordable and come in many colors and styles. Metal roofs are made of steel or aluminum and cost more upfront. They can handle high winds and last 40 to 70 years. The decision often comes down to how long you plan to stay in the home.
Asphalt shingles typically cost $4 to $8 per square foot installed. Metal roofs run from $8 to $15 per square foot. A full roof replacement in Batavia can take a few days to a week. The final price depends on your roof's size, pitch, and any repairs needed underneath. Those numbers are ballpark, and every house is different.
If you're planning to stay in your home for 10 years or more, metal often pays for itself. If you might sell soon, shingles are the smarter upfront investment.

What people in Batavia 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."

shingle vs metal roof
