Shingle or metal roof for your home?
Straight answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Lawrenceburg, IN.
You need a new roof on your Lawrenceburg home. You hear metal lasts longer but costs more. You don't know which makes sense for your house right now.
Identify what you're dealing with. Asphalt shingles are the most common roof in Lawrenceburg. They handle Ohio River weather well and last 20 to 30 years. Metal roofs cost more at the start but last 40 to 70 years. They stand up better to high winds that hit areas off U.S. Route 50 and near the Levee.
Cost depends on your home. A shingle roof replacement often runs lower upfront. Metal can be double the cost. But metal saves you from replacing it again. If you live in a historic in-town home near Arch Street Park, shingles may match the look. A rural property off Interstate 275 might benefit from metal's durability.
Get a written estimate before you decide. Call TruRoof for a no-pressure quote on both options. We look at your roof size, pitch, and current decking. That gives you real numbers for your home, not a guess. If you plan to stay long-term, metal often wins. Selling soon? Shingles make more sense.
Once the new roof is on, you stop worrying. No more leaks when storms roll through Dearborn County. Your home stays dry and quiet. You know exactly what you paid for and why you picked it.
What people in Lawrenceburg 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."
