Oftentimes, customers reach out to our team to learn about the differences between a shingle roofing system and a metal roofing system. If you also have this doubt today we are going to help you decide between a metal or shingle roof.

Both are really good options for your home and overall, the biggest difference between these two systems is cost. But there are other details that are important to keep in consideration.

Metal Roof

Baker Home Exteriors installs metal roofs that are a thicker gauge of material, very high quality, and with 30-year warranties. This details why a metal roofing system is more expensive than a shingle roof.

If you decide to move forward with a metal roofing system, be sure to select a contractor with proven experience. If a metal roof is installed incorrectly, it can create an even more expensive problem for the homeowner.

Shingle Roof

Asphalt shingles are a cost-effective and resilient roofing choice. Their adaptability shines through with a wide selection of colors and designs, making matching your home’s style easy. They provide solid fire protection and require minimal upkeep.

A high-quality shingle roof system not only provides peace of mind but also increases your home’s value, making it a practical and cost-effective option for homeowners.

Whether you end up choosing metal or shingles, Baker Home Exteriors will be here to help.
