RESALE VALUE
Higher Resale Value Through Lasting Savings
Metal roofs increase home value and lower long-term costs. According to national averages, homeowners typically recoup 50–75% of their metal roof’s cost, depending on the region. Beyond the upfront return, studies show that homes with a quality metal roof enjoy consistent savings on heating and cooling bills, reduced maintenance, and fewer replacement costs. Together, these benefits translate into stronger resale value compared to homes roofed with asphalt. In many states, a metal roof can even help lower homeowner’s insurance premiums by as much as 35%, giving buyers even more reason to pay a premium for a home with metal already in place.

Long-Term Investment vs. Short-Term Expense
It’s true—a metal roof often costs more up front than a traditional asphalt roof. But while asphalt typically lasts 15–20 years, a quality metal roof is built to protect your home for 50+ years. That’s more than double the lifespan, with far fewer replacement costs along the way. According to national averages, homeowners typically recoup 50–70% of their investment in a metal roof at resale, depending on location. Buyers recognize the value of durability and long-term performance, making metal one of the smartest investments you can make for your home.
Growing Popularity Among Homeowners
Homebuyers are catching on to the long-term value and performance of metal roofing. From 1998 to 2022, the number of homeowners choosing to replace their roofs with metal has skyrocketed from just 3% to 18% of the market. That’s a six-fold increase in just over two decades. This growth reflects rising demand for roofs that deliver energy efficiency, lower maintenance, long-lasting protection, and higher resale value—proof that metal has become the preferred choice for homeowners who want their investment to pay off now and in the future.
