Shingle vs. metal roof: which handles Price Hill winds better?
Honest answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Price Hill, OH.
You're on Price Hill and the wind off the river doesn't let up. Your old roof is failing and you need a replacement. You see shingle roofs all over East and West Price Hill, but you've heard metal lasts longer. You don't know if paying extra makes sense for your house.
On a hilltop, wind hits your roof harder. Asphalt shingles can lift or crack over time. Metal roofs lock together and take the gusts without budging. Both do the job. One just holds up longer when the weather gets rough.
A full tear-off and replacement takes our crew two to five days. Asphalt shingles run less than metal upfront. Metal costs more but lasts 40 to 70 years, sometimes triple the life of shingles. The size and pitch of your roof move the price. So does the condition of the deck underneath.
Get a written estimate before you decide. You need to see real numbers for your house. TruRoof will walk you through the options, no pushy sales. We tell you what makes sense if you're staying long-term versus selling soon.
You'll have a roof that stays quiet in a storm and keeps water out for decades. No more worrying every time the wind picks up over the Ohio River valley.
What people in Price Hill 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."
