FAQs

People are naturally interested to know how much their metal roofing project will cost. However, we can’t make any determinations on final costs without performing our due diligence. You can get the ball rolling by contacting us or requesting a free estimate.

We can say with confidence that our reviews are consistently high — with many customers mentioning how the cost of their roofing project was well worth it. These are satisfied clients who also wondered how much it costs to install a metal roof in Washington or Oregon and if a metal roof is worth the extra costs compared with traditional roofing.

Yes, we can install a new interlocking aluminum roofing system atop an existing roof. We’ll need to do a proper inspection to make that determination, however. Installing a metal roof over an existing traditional roofing material eliminates the need for a complete teardown. This is a time- and cost-saving approach that also limits the amount of debris we have to truck to the landfill, so it’s also eco-friendly!

Yes, you can walk on a metal roof. There may be reasons for a homeowner to walk on their metal roof (inspections, leaf clearance, etc.), although we usually suggest that people leave that to professionals.

Most roofs need gutters, especially here in the green and lush Pacific Northwest. Metal roofing is no different when it comes to the need for gutters.

Hail of sufficient heft and intensity can cause damage to just about anything. (Look what it did a few years ago at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado.) However, metal roofing does offer significant protective advantages over traditional roofing systems when subjected to the whims of Mother Nature. There are a lot of variables at play, which we covered in a blog on this topic.

Metal roofing can get dirty just like any other material that’s tasked with covering a structure and protecting it. Metal roofing will be subjected to the elements for far longer than traditional roofing, however — sometimes many decades longer. Naturally, they’ll accumulate dirt. The good news is that metal roofing resists the growth of certain organic matter which can damage other roofing materials. Metal roofs are also easy to clean. We suggest you work with an experienced contractor to handle the cleaning job.

We do not recommend washing a metal roof with a pressure washer. The stream from a power washer can dent a metal roof when applied from a close distance.
