Shingle roof vs metal roof: which is right for your home?
Honest answers from TruRoof, metal roofing in Withamsville, OH.
You’re comparing shingles and metal roofing for your Withamsville home. You know metal lasts longer and costs more upfront. You’re not sure if the extra cost pays off or if you should stick with shingles.
You see shingles on most homes in Withamsville. They work well and cost less. But after a few Ohio winters, asphalt shingles can crack, curl, or lose granules. A metal roof handles high winds and hail better, and it won’t need replacing for decades.
A metal roof costs more upfront than asphalt shingles. But it lasts 50 years or more, while shingles often need replacing after 15 to 20 years. Over time, metal saves you money on repairs and energy bills. If you plan to stay in your Withamsville home for the long haul, the higher initial cost makes sense.
The best step now is to talk to a roofing pro who knows Withamsville homes. TruRoof can inspect your roof, show you options, and give you a clear price for both shingle and metal. No pressure, just honest numbers. Call us or fill out the form to set up a free estimate.

What people in Withamsville 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."
