Shingle or metal roof? How to decide for your home.
Straight answers for Bellevue, KY homeowners. TruRoof handles residential roof replacement, start to finish.
You need a new roof and you're stuck between shingle and metal. You see both on homes along Fairfield Avenue and near Bellevue Beach Park. You want the right choice for your house, your budget, and how long you plan to stay.
Shingles and metal handle Bellevue weather differently. Asphalt shingles shed rain and snow well. They last 20 to 30 years here. Metal roofs laugh at the wind gusts that whip off the Ohio River. They last 40 to 70 years. If your home is older, like many in the Historic Business District, metal can be a lighter load on the structure.
Cost is the big split. Shingle tear-off and replacement runs less upfront. Metal costs more now. But metal can save you over time. No second replacement. Lower energy bills in summer. If you plan to sell your Bellevue home in a few years, shingles make sense. If this is your forever home, metal often wins.

What people in Bellevue 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."
