Standing seam metal roof on a modern home

Metal Roofing

Metal has gone from farmhouse utility to the most-requested premium roof in the Charlotte suburbs — and unlike most trends, this one earns it. A properly installed standing seam roof shrugs off hail that totals shingles, sheds Carolina downpours instantly, reflects summer heat instead of soaking it into your attic, and outlives its owner: 40–70 years is normal.

The catch is that 'metal roof' done wrong is a noisy, oil-canning, screw-backing-out mess. The difference is system and installer: concealed-fastener standing seam panels, formed for your roof's exact dimensions, on the right underlayment — versus exposed-screw barn panels stretched over a house they weren't designed for.

Honest math: metal vs. shingles

Metal costs roughly 2–2.5× an architectural shingle roof up front. It also outlasts two of them, trims cooling bills, and frequently earns an insurance discount for impact resistance. For 'forever home' owners it usually wins the 30-year math; for a 5-year house, shingles do. We'll run your numbers both ways and tell you which we'd pick — even when it's the cheaper one.

Questions

Straight answers

How much does a metal roof cost?
Standing seam in Charlotte typically runs $25,000–$45,000 for a full home, varying with roof complexity. Accent sections (porches, bays) start far lower — written quote either way.
Is metal loud in the rain?
Over solid decking with underlayment — the way we install it — it's no louder than shingles. The 'loud tin roof' lives on open-frame barns, not modern homes.
Does metal attract lightning?
No — that's myth. Metal doesn't attract strikes, and if struck it actually disperses energy more safely than combustible materials.
Can metal go over my existing shingles?
Sometimes code allows it, but we recommend tear-off — it lets us inspect decking and avoids trapping heat and moisture under your 50-year roof.
