There are two main issues with metal roofs: the up-front cost and how noisy they can be when it rains. Metal roofs cost close to twice as much as asphalt roofs per square foot, and although you also get more than double the lifespan and more value from them, the initial cost is higher. Metal roofs can also create noise in your living space when it rains, so some homeowners install acoustic panels or insulation under them to reduce noisiness.

Roof repair costs about $1,100 on average. The cost to repair a roof depends on the size, type of roof, and severity of the issue. Additional cost factors include the type of repairs needed, the pitch and complexity of the roof design, any permits required, and the labor cost in your location. The time of year can influence the overall price, too, as winter repairs can be more expensive due to the slippery conditions for working on a roof. 

Metal roofing gets hot when it’s exposed to direct sunlight, but aluminum is naturally reflective and can actually help keep your home cooler in hotter, sunnier climates. The solar reflectance of aluminum is significantly higher than that of asphalt shingles and clay tile, so a metal roof will reduce solar heat gain in your home.
