Shingle roof or metal roof? A straight answer.
Honest answers from TruRoof, your shingle roofing team in Hebron, KY. No sales talk, just facts.
You need a new roof in Hebron. You’ve heard metal lasts longer, but shingles cost less up front. With our humid summers, cold winters, and storms off I-275, you want something that holds up. You just need a straight answer on what to pick.
You’re not alone. Many Hebron homeowners ask this. Shingle roofs are the standard in neighborhoods near KY-20 and I-275. They’re made of asphalt and fiberglass, simple to repair. Metal roofs are steel or aluminum panels. They cost more but can take a beating from wind and hail. In Hebron, where spring storms can dump hail, both need to stand up to the weather. The key is what you value: lower upfront cost or long-term peace of mind.
A new shingle roof in Hebron usually runs $8,000 to $15,000 for an average home. Metal roofs start around $15,000 and can hit $30,000 or more. The price gap is real. But shingles need replacing sooner. Metal may pay for itself if you stay long enough. Repairs on shingles are cheap. A damaged metal panel can cost more to fix. Think about how long you plan to live in your home.
First, don’t rush. Get a few quotes. Look at your home’s style. A metal roof looks modern on some houses but odd on a traditional Colonial.

What people in Hebron 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."
