Labor costs are another significant component of the overall cost of installing a shingle roof. Labor rates can vary by region and the complexity of the roof design. Generally, labor costs can range from $50 to $150 per square, depending on the experience of the contractor and the local market conditions. It's advisable to get multiple quotes from reputable roofing contractors to ensure you are getting a fair price.

Another critical benefit of installing a steel roof over asphalt shingles is the lightweight nature of steel. Traditional asphalt roofing can be heavy, and when multiple layers are added over time, it can lead to structural concerns. Steel roofs, on the other hand, are significantly lighter and impose less weight on the home’s structure, reducing the risk of damage over time. This lightweight characteristic allows homeowners to retain the existing roofing beneath, avoiding the need for a costly complete tear-off.

Maintenance and Care

1. Inspect Your Roof Conduct a thorough inspection of your roof to assess its overall condition. Look for any visible signs of damage, such as curling or missing shingles.

Installation and Maintenance

3. Cutting Shingles Use a utility knife to cut shingles as necessary to fit around vents, chimneys, and edges. Make precise cuts to ensure a clean and professional look.

Typically, asphalt shingles are classified into three main categories three-tab shingles, architectural shingles, and premium shingles.

However, there are factors to consider before making the switch. Proper installation is crucial to prevent issues such as water intrusion and condensation. It’s essential to ensure that the existing shingles are in good condition—free from significant damage or mold—before proceeding with the overlay. If the shingles are curled, cracked, or have areas of rot, it may be necessary to replace them before installing the metal roof. Additionally, the weight of the metal roofing must be accounted for, as most metal roofs can be installed over existing shingles, but local building codes must be adhered to in terms of weight limits.
